Powershell Script to set Call Forwarding for another user or a group

[Kaleidoscope]

Hey everyone,

 

we were looking for a way to give users to possibility to configure call forwards for a group. We quickly realized that we needed to write something quick and dirty in powershell. If there are other ways to set call forwards for a group please let me know!

This is by no means complete and this is far from elegant code! There are no error checks, configuration is completely done in the code (see the button sections) and I ABSOLUTELY DON'T GIVE ANY GUARANTEES that your server doesn't catch fire when running it! 

 

So please use that at your own risk! It does the trick for me, so maybe someone finds this useful and uses it as a starting point for greater things!

 

Cheers!
