View user PIN information in Skype for Business Server

Summary: View user PIN information in Skype for Business Server.

To join a dial-in conference as an authenticated user, a Skype for Business Server user with Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) credentials requires a personal identification number (PIN). You can view a user's PIN information from Skype for Business Server Control Panel.

Note

You can view PIN status information such as whether the PIN has been set or when the PIN was last changed, but you cannot see the current PIN by looking at the PIN status. If a user has lost their PIN, you can reset it by following the procedures in Set a user's dial-in conferencing PIN in Skype for Business Server

To view a user's PIN in Skype for Business Server Control Panel

  1. From a user account that is assigned to the CsUserAdministrator role or the CsAdministrator role, log on to any computer in your internal deployment.

  2. Open a browser window, and then enter the Admin URL to open the Skype for Business Server Control Panel.

  3. In the left navigation bar, click Users.

  4. Use one of the following methods to locate a user:

    • In the Search users box, type all or the first portion of the display name, first name, last name, Security Accounts Manager (SAM) account name, SIP address, or line Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the user account, and then click Find.

    • If you have a saved query, click the Open query icon, use the Open dialog box to retrieve the query (a .usf file), and then click Find.

  5. (Optional) Specify additional search criteria to narrow the results:

    a. Click Add Filter.

    b. Enter the user property by typing it or by clicking the arrow in the drop-down list to select the property.

    c. In the Equal to drop-down list, click the operator (for example, Equal to or Not equal to).

    d. Depending on the user property you selected, enter the criteria that you want to use to filter the search results by typing it or by clicking the arrow in the drop-down list.

    Tip

    To add additional search clauses to your query, click Add Filter.

    e. Click Find.

    Note

    If the PIN is locked, you must unlock the PIN before you can set it. To unlock the PIN, click the user, click Action, and then click Unlock PIN.

  6. Click a user in the search results, click Action, and then click View PIN status.

Viewing User PIN Information by Using Windows PowerShell cmdlets

You can view user PIN information by using the Get-CsClientPinInfo cmdlet. This cmdlet can be run either from the Skype for Business Server Management Shell or from a remote session of Windows PowerShell. For details about using remote Windows PowerShell to connect to Skype for Business Server, see Microsoft Lync Remote PowerShell Administration. The process is the same in Skype for Business Server.

To view user PIN information

To view PIN information for a user, type a command similar to the following in the Skype for Business Server Management Shell and then press ENTER:

Get-CsClientPinInfo -Identity "Ken Myer"

That will return information similar to this:

Identity          : sip:kenmyer@litwareinc.com

IsLockedOut       : False
LastPinChangeTime : 9/25/2012 1:35:03 PM
