Scheduled Skype for Business Server synchronization

Skype for Business Server User Management includes an Active Roles scheduled task that complements the Master Account Management policy to enforce synchronization of master and shadow account properties, and to capture existing Skype for Business Server users whose master account happens to fall under the control of that policy.

The scheduled task object is located in the following container in the Active Roles Console:

Configuration/Server Configuration/Scheduled Tasks/Builtin/Skype for Business - Master Account Management

The task is scheduled to run on a daily basis, and normally you do not need to modify its settings. The operation of the task affects only the user accounts that are in the scope of the Built-in Policy - Skype for Business - Master Account Management Policy Object (or a copy of that Policy Object). When run, the task performs the following actions on each of those user accounts:

  • If the user account does not have a shadow account that is enabled for Skype for Business Server, it skips that user account.

  • If the user account has a shadow account that is enabled for Skype for Business Server but does not store a reference to that shadow account, it creates the reference to the shadow account on that user account.

    This action enables the Skype for Business Server User Management feature to administer existing Skype for Business Server users.

  • If the user account has a shadow account that is enabled for Skype for Business Server and stores a reference to the shadow account, then it copies the synchronized properties from the master account to the shadow account, and copies the back-synchronized properties from the shadow account to the master account.

    This action ensures that the shadow account properties are updated with the latest changes to the master account properties (and the opposite is also true).

Access Templates for Skype for Business Server

Skype for Business Server User Management provides a number of Access Templates (ATs) allowing you to delegate the tasks of managing Skype for Business Server users in Active Roles. You can find these ATs in the following container when using Active Roles Console:
