The following script will create a new phonebook entry in Swyx. You’ll need the IpPbx PowerShell modules installed first. Oh, and be sure to replace [servername] with, well, the name of your server.
Import-Module IpPbx Connect-IpPbx [servername] New-IpPbxPhonebookEntry -Name "NAMEHERE" -Number "NUMBERHEREWITHPAPREFIX" -Description "POWERSHELL IMPORT" | Add-IpPbxPhonebookEntry
Before you can use the IpPbx cmdlets in PowerShell, you need to install the modules first. Grab the IpPbx modules from here, be sure to get the correct version:

Don’t forget to run the following command first:
Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
[quads id=1]
As our ‘My Documents’ folder live on the domain server, we had some issues. The install appeared to go ok, as you can see:
----------------------------------------------- IPPBX POWERSHELL MODULE - INSTALLATION SCRIPT ----------------------------------------------- 1. Install for Current User only 2. Install for All Users 3. Remove every module version WARNING: PLEASE NOTE THAT OTHER MODULE VERSIONS WILL BE DELETED DURING INSTALLATION! Select 1-3: 1 ----------------------------------------------- Searching for other Module Versions... Installing for Current User... ----------------------------------------------- Process completed! Press any key to continue ...
Do not do the above! Because you then get this:
PS C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\IpPbxPowerShellModule_v8.1.0.50 (1)> Import-Module IpPbx Add-Type : Could not load file or assembly 'IpPbxBLOB64, Version=8.0.0.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. Failed to grant minimum permission requests. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131417) At \\xxx\Users\xxx\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\IpPbx\IpPbx.psm1:106 char:13 + add-type <<<< -Path (join-path $ScriptFolder "Binaries\IpPbxBlob64.dll") | out-null + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Add-Type], FileLoadException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.IO.FileLoadException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddTypeCommand
This is because it installed the modules in the folder on the server, and network paths are not trusted.
Instead, install for all users – option 2 (you need to run the PowerShell command prompt as Administrator).
To check the install, run the following command:
get-module -ListAvailable
The result list must contains the following entries:
Script Accelerators Manifest IpPbx
If it does, then all should be well.

This will set a users presence indicator to away. You’ll have needed to install the IpPbx PowerShell modules first. Oh, and be sure to replace [servername] with, well, the name of your server.
Import-Module IpPbx Connect-IpPbx [servername] $name = Read-Host 'Username?' Set-IpPbxUserPresenceState -Name $name -IsAway:$true -IsDND:$false
