<div dir="ltr">So why not a custom web front end then? I mean, if you already have green techs as your target audience, surely a GUI would be better than a CLI, right? And if you do plan to release this out to a larger audience, I think you'd have better adoption of a web front in than a CLI client. Just my opinion.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Oct 25, 2018 at 4:10 PM Pete Brown <<a href="mailto:jpb@chykn.com">jpb@chykn.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The end goal would be to give admins with little to no scripting experience a CLI based method of browsing, querying and possibly managing objects. As far as I know, there's no way to do this unless you meet the following
requirements:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px">
<li>Decent scripting/development background</li><li>Experience consuming REST & SOAP services</li><li>Familiar with the CUCM Data Dictionary</li></ul>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That rules out the majority of the UC folks I've worked with. Sure, there's the stock web UI. Or solutions from Variphy & UnifiedFX if you can convince the business to get the budget. But sometimes it's nice to have an easy to use CLI option that doesn't
involve the complexities of learning the APIs.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not sure if they have a provider or not. Would be a little presumptuous to think I was the first guy that had this idea.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Pete are you looking to specifically query for these details using PowerShell? You can look at Variphy's As-Built reporting, it can possibly save you hours of work. You can get a 30 day evaluation license to see if this fits your need: <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.variphy.com%2Fproducts%2Fcisco-as-built-configuration-reporting%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C79010b42726345a1b92808d63ab8b31a%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636760962278096439&sdata=yiLXUrhKwZTJ65o5jNT%2BtWTusbdMtCPqtfDKg5jaqe4%3D&reserved=0" id="m_-6078149088502909710LPlnk55032" class="m_-6078149088502909710x_m_5784574105161618654OWAAutoLink m_-6078149088502909710OWAAutoLink" target="_blank">https://www.variphy.com/products/cisco-as-built-configuration-reporting/</a>
