Title: secondary Host
Post by: sunspark on April 13, 2023, 05:29:02 AM

I just added a secondary ipbx for resiliency.
is there a way to assign ipbx2 to all users?
import/export doesn't work.

I've used import/export several times for that.

First I ensure that one user is already resilient.
Then I export all the users from the User and Devices form.
Then I copy the secondary host information from the resilient user to all the other users.
Next I import it all back.

That has worked well for me each time.

Hotdesk users may need to be logged out first.

You can logout all users in maintenance commands
LOGOUT HOTDESK INTERNAL ALL

You can also logout a single user using a FAC. Maybe try one first as a test before logging every user out.

Hi Ralph ,
this is what I already tried to do before posting my request but I have an error message when I try to import the file (below)

Appears that the csv is corrupt and not lining up correctly.

The values aren't valid for those fields.

I exported the file, modified it, then imported it.

I can only go by the error in the screenshot.

e.g. 6905 IP should be the device type not the PKM  field.

There may be a comma too many or not enough somewhere. Are you opening the file with excel or just using a text editor.

I export the file
I open it with Excel
I add the "secondary ipbx"
I save my CSV file
then open it with Notepad++
I replace all the ; by ,
then i import it again.

When saving from excel as a csv I've never had to open in another editor to replace ; with ,

When I save a csv it is still comma separated.

You could try opening the original csv in Notepad++ then do a find/replace
e.g.
find {guid of MiVB1},,
replace with {guid of MiVB1},{guid of MiVB2},
