Set-CsPrivacyConfiguration
Modifies an existing set of privacy configuration settings. Privacy configuration settings help determine how much information users make available to other users. This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2010.

[<CommonParameters>] Description
Skype for Business Server gives users the opportunity to share a wealth of presence information with other people: they can publish a photograph of themselves; they can provide detailed location information; they can have presence information automatically made available to everyone in the organization (as opposed to having this information available only to people on their Contacts list).
Some users will welcome the opportunity to make this information available to their colleagues; other users might be more reluctant to share this data. (For example, many people might be hesitant about having their photo included in their presence data.) As a general rule, users have control over what information they will (or will not) share; for example, users can select or clear a check box in order to control whether or not their location information is shared with others. In addition, the privacy configuration cmdlets enable administrators to manage privacy settings for their users. In some cases, administrators can enable or disable settings; for example, if the property AutoInitiateContacts is set to True, then team members will automatically be added to each user's Contacts list; if set to False, team members will not be automatically be added to each user's Contacts list.
In other cases, administrators can configure the default values in Skype for Business while still giving users the right to change these values. For example, by default location data is published for users, although users do have the right to stop location publication. By setting the PublishLocationDataByDefault property to False, administrators can change this behavior: in that case, location data will not be published by default, although users will still have the right to publish this data if they choose.
Privacy configuration settings can be applied at the global scope, the site scope, and at the service scope (albeit only for the User Server service).
The Set-CsPrivacyConfiguration cmdlet enables you to modify any of the privacy configuration settings currently in use in your organization.
Examples
-------------------------- Example 1 ------------------------
Set-CsPrivacyConfiguration -Identity site:Redmond -EnablePrivacyMode $False -AutoInitiateContacts $True -PublishLocationDataDefault $True -DisplayPublishedPhotoDefault $TrueThe command shown in Example 1 modifies three property values for the privacy configuration settings with the Identity site:Redmond. The three property values modified are AutoInitiateContacts, PublishLocationDataDefault and DisplayPublishedPhotoDefault.
-------------------------- Example 2 ------------------------
Get-CsPrivacyConfiguration | Set-CsPrivacyConfiguration -EnablePrivacyMode $TrueExample 2 enables privacy mode for all the privacy configuration settings currently in use in the organization.
To do this, the command first calls the Get-CsPrivacyConfiguration cmdlet without any parameters; this returns the complete collection of privacy settings.
This collection is then piped to the Set-CsPrivacyConfiguration cmdlet, which takes each item in the collection and sets the EnablePrivacyMode property to True.
-------------------------- Example 3 ------------------------
Get-CsPrivacyConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.EnablePrivacyMode -eq $False} | Set-CsPrivacyConfiguration -AutoInitiateContacts $True -PublishLocationDataDefault $True -DisplayPublishedPhotoDefault $TrueIn Example 3, modifications are made to all the privacy configuration settings that are not currently using privacy mode.
To carry out this task, the Get-CsPrivacyConfiguration cmdlet is first used in order to return a collection of all the privacy configuration settings.
This collection is piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which selects only those settings where the EnablePrivacyMode property is equal to False.
The filtered collection is then piped to the Set-CsPrivacyConfiguration cmdlet, which assigns values to the AutoInitiateContacts, PublishLocationDataDefault, and DisplayPublishedPhotoDefault properties for each item in the collection.
