Response Groups – Creating Workflows


Both the option to add a preset hour schedule and holiday sets are greyed out until they are added from Lync Server Management Shell.

This is done as follows:


Defining Business hours as a Preset Schedule

*/Service Desk$a = New-csRgsTimeRange -Name “Service Desk Business Hours” -OpenTime “7:45” -CloseTime “17:00”

New-CsRgsHoursOfBusiness -Parent “ApplicationServer:” -Name “Service Desk Business Hours” -MondayHours1 $a -TuesdayHours1 $a -WednesdayHours1 $a -ThursdayHours1 $a -FridayHours1 $a

*/Lexel Business hours


$b = New-csRgsTimeRange -Name “Lexel Business Hours” -OpenTime “8:29” -CloseTime “17:05”

New-CsRgsHoursOfBusiness -Parent “ApplicationServer:” -Name “Lexel Business Hours” -MondayHours1 $b -TuesdayHours1 $b -WednesdayHours1 $b -ThursdayHours1 $b -FridayHours1 $b


Defining Standard Holiday Lists

$a = New-CsRgsHoliday -Name “New Year’s Day” -StartDate “1/1/2013 12:00AM” -EndDate “2/1/2013 12:00AM”
$b = New-CsRgsHoliday -Name “Day after New Year” -StartDate “2/1/2013 12:00AM” -EndDate “3/1/2013 12:00AM”
$c = New-CsRgsHoliday -Name “Auckland Anniversary” -StartDate “28/1/2013 12:00AM” -EndDate “29/1/2013 12:00AM”
$d = New-CsRgsHoliday -Name “Waitangi Day” -StartDate “6/2/2013 12:00AM” -EndDate “7/2/2013 12:00AM”
$e = New-CsRgsHoliday -Name “Good Friday” -StartDate “29/3/2013 12:00AM” -EndDate “30/3/2013 12:00AM”
$f = New-CsRgsHoliday -Name “Easter Monday” -StartDate “1/4/2013 12:00AM” -EndDate “2/4/2013 12:00AM”
$g = New-CsRgsHoliday -Name “Anzac Day” -StartDate “25/4/2013 12:00AM” -EndDate “26/4/2013 12:00AM”
$h = New-CsRgsHoliday -Name “Queens Birthday” -StartDate “3/6/2013 12:00AM” -EndDate “4/6/2013 12:00AM”
$i = New-CsRgsHoliday -Name “Labour Day” -StartDate “28/10/2013 12:00AM” -EndDate “29/10/2013 12:00AM”
$j = New-CsRgsHoliday -Name “Xmas Day” -StartDate “25/12/2013 12:00AM” -EndDate “26/12/2013 12:00AM”
$k = New-CsRgsHoliday -Name “Boxing Day” -StartDate “26/12/2013 12:00AM” -EndDate “27/12/2013 12:00AM”

New-CsRgsHolidaySet -Parent “ApplicationServer:lxlls2013fe.lexel.local” -Name “2013 Holidays” -HolidayList($a,$b,$c,$d,$e,$f,$g,$H,$i,$j,$k)
