which all the users inside the group they will be able to see each others. so please how can I create group in Lync server?
Thanks..

Hi,
Actually, the maximum limit is 150 per group, and the maximum number of distribution lists is 64.
Some steps for your reference.
Server side:
Please run following command:
Get-CsWebServiceConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.EnableGroupExpansion -eq $True} | Set-CsWebServiceConfiguration -MaxGroupSizeToExpand 150
Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -MaximumDGsAllowedInContactList 64
Client side:
1. Navigate to
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0
2. Create new key
“Lync”
3. Navigate to
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync
4. Create a REG_DWORD
“MaxDLExpansion”
5. Value Data:
150
Hope it can be helpful.
Best regards,
Eric

  • How to create public group in office 365 admin panel?

    Dear Microsoft ,
      I try to create group in office 365 admin panel but in that group when i add outsider mail id eg([email protected],[email protected]) is not created ...it's showing error.Can please help me to how i create public group in office 365 ?

    Hi,
    Which error message does it show?
    Based on my research, internal users (users that have a mailbox in your organization) and external users (people that don’t have a mailbox in you organization) can be added as members of a distribution group. However, only external users
    that have been added to your organization’s address book (also known as shared contacts), can be members of a group. For information about how to add external users to your organization’s address book, see
    Create and use shared contacts.
    Hope this helps.

  • Contact Groups in Lync Server 2013

    HI,
    I have deployed the Lync 2013 server . I can successfully login to Lync client 2013 using lync server 2013. But i wan to create a group list/group  on server side and all clients/user i will add in this list/group. After login to Lync client this group
    will show on all the user on client side. In office Communicator 2007 R2 i had created the same requirement. But in lync 2013 server i did not find this kind of option.
    Help me on this
    Thanks 

    I would recommend you combine Exchange Server and PowerShell script.
    You can put all AD users enabled for Lync Server to a Distribution Group, then add this group to a reference account. Export the contact information to other Lync users.
    You can refer to
    http://charlesulrich.blogspot.com/2013/03/lync-server-2013-bulk-updating-contact.html.

  • How do I create a Public Group on the Calendar Server?

    How do I create a Public Group on the Calendar Server?
    <P>
    Anyone can create Private Groups or Member Only Groups. You must be given
    administrative rights to create Public Groups on the Calendar Server. The
    Calendar Server Admin (SYSOP) can give anyone rights to create Public Groups by
    using the uniadmrights tool.
    <P>
    Go to /users/unison/bin/
    and run the uniadmrights
    tool. Some sample syntax:
    <P>
    To list all users with administrative rights:<P>
    % uniadmrights -ls -host yourhostname
    <P>
    To give John Smith, a user on node 10000, rights to administer Public Groups:<P>
    % uniadmrights -e "S=Smith/G=John" -add -pgrp -n 10000
    <P>
    In Calendar Server 4.0, you also have the option of using the Admin Server GUI
    to assign Administrative
    rights (instead of using the command-line method) by going to User Management,
    Administration Rights.
    <P>
    With the proper administrative rights, log into the Calendar Client. Go to Options,
    Manage Groups to create a new group. Choose PUBLIC from the dropdown window,
    add your users and/or resources and click OK to create the Public Group which
    can be seen by all users on the local Calendar Server.

    The following is info that I found in another post that I have been trying to follow.

    Re: Configure DNS - OS X Server Next Steps
    Feb 13, 2011 6:36 AM (in response to Jimbooooooo)
    You're setting up internal DNS services, you referenced your ISP DNS servers and you should not have, and now those servers have no translations for your hosts. This is a common misconfiguration.
    See [configuring DNS on Mac OS X Server|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436] for how to set up your internal DNS server.
    And if there are any references to your ISP DNS servers here (within your client settings, within your server settings, your Airport settings, etc), then you're usually going to have DNS and connectivity problems. You're running a server now, so you'll be running your own services, and (particularly because of NAT here) referencing only your own DNS server(s).
    You may be setting up external DNS (if and when you need that), but that should happen after you set up your internal DNS. The above article has a link to setting up external DNS, when you get around to that, if/when you need in-bound connections into your LAN.

  • How can I create public AND private access with a wireless VPN router?

    I am thinking about getting one of the new pre-n wireless routers that has a builtin VPN.  I will need to have a private net for my office and a public net for my customers.  On the private side- my employees will need to access all network resources and servers etc.  On the public side, my customers just need to get to the Internet and maybe print on that side too.
    Both sides will be DHCP.
    Can I set this up with 1 device ro do I need 2?  How can I do this?  Any help is greatlu appreciated.
    Thanks all.
    Message Edited by Gman on 10-14-200607:08 PM

    The only safe way to do this is to creat user groups On your server and give specific assess to the users who log into the network.
    Using a single router , bifurcating a public from a private network is not possible.You will not be able to use the VPN since the users hav e to be connected to the VPN to log into your network.

  • Questions on Lync Server Management Pack 2013

    Hello All,
    We are using SCOM to monitor Lync Server
    Is it possible to create "distributed applications"?
    Which services are critical for Lync Server to function?
    Is it possible to monitor the network connection between servers?

    Hi there, 
    Yes it is possible to create distributed applications for Lync server 
    Regarding the services technically all the Lync services should be monitored since each of them is responsible of a certain workload. but the main service is the lync front end service that once it is stopped it will affect client sign-in.
    regarding monitoring the network it depends on what is the traffic that you want to monitor

  • Microsoft Lync Server 2013 Control Panel "Navigation to the webpage was canceled"

    i'm facing this issue on the last 2 days.My Lync server 2013 was seted up a month ago and everything went fine on the installation.
    Lync server 2013 on Windows 2008R2 SP1.
    I could login to the Control Panel (using domain administrator credentials), create users (including myself) manage clients etc.
    i didn't login to Lync server for at least a week, beacause i didin't have any other user to add. When time came to add a new user to Lync, i got this error whenever i try to open Control Panel.
    i didn't change anything during this time, so i'm really confused by this.
    i've checked everything from the start and all seem to be in place.
    i also can't open the admin page from the local host as i get an error
    HTTP error 403.4 - Fobidden.
    i tried also to create new certificates for Lync server, but issue remains.
    Also, any solutions i've read for this problem doesn't work as everything is placed correct as other users suggest.
    Can anyone please help me further?
    Cheers,
    Elias

    Ok I had the same problem, I missconfigured the admin simple url in topology builder (TB) which I fixed.  Also the default certificate in the FE server did not have a SAN entry for the "admin" simple url (which was an error). 
    So I corrected the admin address in TB republised it, redid step two on the FE, reissued adn replaced the old cert.  The new cert had the corrected admin simple url.  Checked IIS on the server and made sure that the internal web server had the
    right certificate, restarted IIS.
    The default Lync control pannel still did not come up, I rebooted the server, the closest I got was being prompt for my credential which it did not accept.
    Finally control pannel came up with https://localhost/cscp but I got prompted becuase of a certificate missmatch:
    but it still worked!!! Very very wierd.  I have not changed CA servers.  I am interested about why this happened....

  • Persistent Chat (Lync Server 2013) with Lync 2010 Group Chat

    I have successfully deployed Lync Server 2013 and both 2013 and 2010 desktop clients connect and function as expected.
    The problem is with Persistent Chat. It works perfectly with the 2013 desktop client but - whilst 2010 Group Chat connects - I receive the error message "The [LOGON_DOMAIN] is not available". No chat rooms are available and I am unable to search.
    I have been unable to locate anything on the web which discusses the problem.
    I do not know whether this makes a difference but the 2010 clients use terminals rather than dedicated workstations.
    Can anyone shed any light on what the problem may be?

    Have you created a CsPersistentChatEndpoint to allow the Group Chat client (2010) to connect to Persistent
    Chat server? Please take a look at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204901.aspx

  • Is it possible to connect to LYNC Server 2013 from outside without public certificate

    Hello to everybody
    I have a rather simple question but i cannot find a definite answer
    I have installed Lync server for purely testing purposes on my work lab
    I have internal communication ...even web based but i don't know how to get external communication
    I have a domain with FQDN : domain.abc.com    .... please
    take note that the FQDN is 3 part...my computer are registered under computer.domain.abc.com.....and my domain is presented as
    abc
    My lync server is lsvr.domain.abc.com
    We also have DNS records to external.abc.gr pointing to my static IP
    Is it possible to create a self signed certificate that will enable us to perform external communications...especially with the Lync Web app or i should
    definitely get a public certificate.
    The whole issue is that we wish to make a presentation to the company's owner in order to get the approval to buy Lync and the required infrastructure or will use some other way of communication like Skype
    It seems i cannot get a definite answers if i can do it without paying the money for the certificate or we should bite the bullet and pay the certificate

    Well i had a mistake in network configuration but now i have different issue and i can't find how to begin with this
    Let me take it from the beginning ...
    I am user :Tsuser
    I connect internally to my Lync Server :lsvr.domain.abc.com
    with internal IP 192.168.1.200
    I use
    the meet url : https://meet.domain.abc.com/Tsuser/randomnumbersletters
    I connect
    ok
    I change
    the meet url to : https://Internal IP of lsvr(192.168.1.200)/Tsuser/randomnumbersletters
    i get 404  File or directory not found.
    I change
    the meet url to : https://lsvr.domain.abc.com/Tsuser/randomnumbersletters
    i get 404  File or directory not found.
    I port forward my public ip to lsvr.domain.abc.com
    port 4443 the same 404
    Something is wrong here but i can't figure it out
    Can anyone give me a helping hand...i think this is the main obstacle

  • Create public facing web site of SharePoint intranet portal with Public IP Address

    Hi,
    I did below steps to create public facing URL and to access outside domain network (Internet).
    1. Got a public IP Address.
    2. Created an extending web application to existing Web Application (default zone - intranet) and Zone selected to Internet and host header given test.contoso.com.
    3. Went to IIS and edit binding of Internet site. Provided public IP Address in 'IP Address' textbox and given host name as test.contoso.com. 
    Above are the 3 steps used to get access http://test.contoso.com in internet. But unable to access it and not seen any relavant message.
    Please help me and provide me steps to achieve.

    Did you actually register the contoso.com address on the Internet?  And is it associated with the public IP Address?  To access SharePoint from the Internet you are going to use http://test.contoso.com.  The Internet DNS servers need to be
    able to resolve that to your Public IP in order to find the SharePoint server.
    Second, did you bind your external IP address to one of the network cards on your SharePoint server?  Or is your Firewall or other gateway device forwarding traffic to the SharePoint server at that address?
    Another problem you may have is whether that Internet IP address is even reachable on your internal network from the Internet.  Most companies have Firewalls inplace to keep external users from accessing addresses inside your network.
    It sounds like you've done all the SharePoint configuration correctly, but you also need to make sure that TCP/IP is correctly configured.
