Move OCS Users in an OU to Lync 2010

I used this script to migrate OCS 2007 R2 users to Lync 2010. On the contract I was working we had 6000 users to migrate across EMEA. Users were split into OUs for their Country, so we did this each night country by country.

Import-Module Lync
Get-CSUser -OU "OU=UK,DC=domain,DC=local" | %{
$User = $_
Try {
Move-CsLegacyUser -Target "lync-pool-name" -EA STOP
}
Catch{
Echo $User $_.exception.Message
}
} | Out-File C:\Lynclog.txt
