But any siggestions how to reboot a polycom device that is not registered anymore? Manually you can do this via acessing the webgui of polycom device. We are looking for rebooting Polycoms that we have moved from one server to another, so we are checking how to reboot them via script but using the path of their webgui. Hello,

It has really helped me out. Is there a way to log the 200OK response from the phone? I see at the end of the script there is a line starting with: $result May write it to a file or something like that? Thanks, Scott Great script. It has really helped me out.

A good script, but just a quick correction to part of your summary:

“Polycom phones respond to the “check-sync” event by re-comparing the config file last-modified date”

This used to be true in older versions of the Polycom software, but for the past couple of years the function has matured.

The Polycom phone will now read the first part of each file and do a comparison to see if the file has changed, rather than relying on the ‘modified date’.

Then he should just be able to say:<br /><br />PS:1> .\Reboot-Phones Jeff – Yep, I’ll probably set our lab guy up with a text file of some sort containing all the info for our team phones, and then create a function that pipes the file into the script.

Definitely a neat use of PowerShell. So do you have a CSV or XML file of all the phones in your building that you can use to pipe the addresses into this script? Definitely a neat use of PowerShell.
