I'm trying to block a number via powershell but it doesn't work.
Hello,
I would like to block a number via powershelle on the tenant, and I was able to find some information on this site :https://learn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/microsoftteams/block-inbound-calls .
I tried to follow it, I first created a number template via this command: New-CsInboundBlockedNumberPattern -Name “BlockNumber1” -Enabled $True -Pattern “^\+?646855502$”
For the moment, I only want to block one number for testing purposes.
Unfortunately, when I run the command to test that blocking is active:
Test-CsInboundBlockedNumberPattern -PhoneNumber 131*** It always returns false, whereas when I search for my model the enable is in True mode.
So I tried to force enable with this command: Set-CsInboundExemptNumberPattern -Identity “BlocNumber1” -Enabled $True But nothing works. I once managed to get the blocking to work, but since then nothing. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Manon Evrard

Manoune69Did you get this resolved? Also when you had this problem did you use Get-CsTenantBlockedCallingNumbers to confirm your added pattern? I'm having a problem with this, too. Although Get-CsTenantBlockedCallingNumbers shows my added patterns, Test-CsInboundBlockedNumberPattern returns false (and test calls ring through).
VasilMichevdoes it take up to 24h for the submitted patterns to be verifiable via Get-CsTenantBlockedCallingNumbers? Or are you saying after confirming added patterns with Get-CsTenantBlockedCallingNumbers, the setting might take 24 hours to actually go into effect and be verificable using Test-CsInboundBlockedNumberPattern?
Even if you want to only block a single number, you need to use a pattern/regex. Other than that, make sure to also check the tenant-level setting (Get-CsTenantBlockedCallingNumbers). Lastly, keep in mind that it can take up to 24h for any changes to be reflected.
