- You'll probably find that you need to spend…a lot of time in the Lync Server Management Shell,…about 25 percent of the things that can be done…with the product have to be done from the command line.…So when you have the tools installed,…you can just go in to Start, All Programs,…Lync Server 2010 and launch the Management Shell from there.…What you'll get is a screen that looks like this.…So it's a customized instance of PowerShell.…So you can go in here, kinda clean up the screen,…and then from there you can run commands…like Get-CsAdUser, that will show you…all the Active Directory users, so maybe do a select here,…look for the same account name for all those folks.…
