i3lets, an open source Interactive Intelligence PowerShell Module

Well if it isn't obvious, this really isn't a Service Manager focused post. Well ok it sort of is. You know what - little bit of column A little bit of column B. This is a PowerShell centric post with regards to Interactive Intelligence phone systems. While Interactive Intelligence seems to be making all sorts of waves with their phone system (leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Contact Center 8 times in a row per their website), the thing missing to me as a SCSM/SCO/SMA snob is the ability to control it with PowerShell. Fortunately they offer the IceLibSDK, a C# library that allows development for their phone system and in doing so...indirectly enable PowerShell control over it.

So after a few hours (it was about 5 hours) I discovered not only does the IceLibSDK ship with an example PowerShell module but it will never load/compile out of box. I've reworked it, recompiled, and most importantly extended the functionality of the OOB example of ConfigurationCmdlet and produced i3lets to work with PowerShell 4+

i3lets are an open source PowerShell library I created to enable administrative control of an Interactive Intelligence phone system. Using these, you can begin to automate all of the classic IT administrative duty of automating said phone system. Create users, modify users, license users, reset passwords (sounds like a great self-service request for Service Manager). This binary module has been tested and confirmed working against PowerShell 4, 5, and SMA.


This is a 100% first pass at a PowerShell module for said phone system that gets the job done but has tons of room for improvement. If you feel like you could contribute in anyway, please ping me and I can get you involved in the Codeplex GitHub project. Otherwise, get your download on and start automating!
