Enable lync for user

hello
i want to know how can i enable lync for one user in active directory without creating mailbox .
i  am using lync 2013
thanks

A mailbox isn't required for creating a Lync user. You can enable the user for Lync using the Lync Control Panel or running Enable-CsUser in Powershell (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg520961.aspx and/or http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398711.aspx)
The sign-in name will be in an e-mail address format ([email protected]), but a mailbox isn't actually required. You can specify the sign-in address when enabling the user.

  • Steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E1/E2 licenses, but don't have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.

    After many hours of debugging with Microsoft support the system to install the Lync Client silently can be done with a SINGLE LINE command.  The steps to take are below. It should be an easy next step to put this as GPO installation since
    it is a simple command.
    Comments appreciated. 
    side question: Why is there no Lync 2013 or Lync Office 365 forum?
    Basic steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E2 licenses, but don’t have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.
    This also applies for other Office 365 service types where the full office suite download is not included.  In April 2015 This was impossible to find online and not know by the Lync support team.
    Steps are:
    Download the Office deployment tool from
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36778 and extract it to a folder. For this
    example we will use the \\server\sharename
    location.
    Extracting it creates a setup.exe file and it show a sample XML file.
    2. Create XML file and give it a name such as LyncEntryRetail.xml
    Note: The key is the productID that has to be the “LyncEntryRetail”. Other product IDs will download a version that needs another office 365 license. The productID “LyncRetail” needs an E3 license of Office 365.
    <Configuration>
      <Add SourcePath="\\server\sharename" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
        <Product ID="LyncEntryRetail">
          <Language ID="en-us" />
        </Product>
      </Add> 
    </Configuration>
    3. From the folder where you extracted the Office deployment tool, run the following command on the command prompt to download the source files and store them on the shared drive:
     (on single line)
    Setup.exe /download LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    One can also run the same on a server share by using UNC path names such as  (on single line)
    \\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /download
    \\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    4. Run the following command on the command prompt on a machine where you want to install the software: (on single line)
    \\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /configure
    \\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    Once you are comfortable that it all works, you may want to edit the XML file if you want to have silent installation and add the following lines.
      <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" /> 
      <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />

    Yes, there is such a functionallity built into the system, but it's not enabled by default. Because of this, it's not supported to enable it. For more information take a look at Antons blogpost:

  • Enabling SSI for users

    I'm trying to enable SSI (Server Side includes) for users. I have it working for the directories in the main sites, but the pages are not being parsed in the user directories. I tried creating a new directory entry in httpd.conf for /homedirs/*/Sites/ but it seems to be ignored. Does anyone have any ideas? This is running on 10.2.8 server.

    You may want to make individual changes to /etc/httpd/users/username.conf files.
    When you say SSI, do you mean the ".shtml" stuff? Did you create an "Includes" option? If you meant CGIs (like C and Perl), then did you add an "ExecCGI" option?
    <Directory "/Users/username/Sites/cgi-bin/">
    Options Includes ExecCGI
    </Directory>
    If it's a CGI, make sure that the executable's file name ends in ".pl" or ".cgi" and they have global execute permissions.
    Also make sure that mod_cgi is being loaded in httpd.conf (look in the list of LoadModule and AddModule).

  • Can not enable fonts for User library in Font Book

    Hi all,
    For some reason I can not enable the user library in the font book using the options in the font book. This means that the User Library is "off". I have tried the following but none of them have worked:
    * Reboot.
    * Delete the Font preferance file.
    * Undo the font book via booting in safe mode and then rebooting in normal mode. Delete the trash which contains the font cache.
    * Manually insert fonts into User>Library>Fonts and restart.
    * Manually empty user fonts folder and re-insert fonts back in.
    * Delete the user fonts folder and re-create it and insert all fonts back in
    Have also tried a few combinations of the above but none of them have worked. I do not want to use the system library fonts folder as this machine is on a network and the users should not have admin rights to their machines.
    I have also checked the user rights to the user fonts folder and all seems ok there.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem so that I can enable the User font library?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Slack

    I have found that for me, on both a PowerMac G5 and an Intel iMac, both running 10.4.8 with all updates, turning on FileVault reliably causes the problem. I.E., if FontBook is working fine on an account which does not have FileVault turned on and I turn on FileVault, then the User collection in FontBook is greyed out and Enable "User" doesn't work. If FileVault is on, none of the suggested work-arounds that I have read about in these discussions or in Apple's support articles help.
    Sometimes, turning off FileVault is sufficient. Other times, I must turn off FileVault and follow the work-around in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302551 . Sometimes, I must turn off FileVault, throw away the FontBook preferences and restart.

  • Unable to Enable iCal for users

    Having a little trouble here getting iCal server to work. I believe I have everything set up correctly in DNS. I can successfully dig both directions on the server. changeip also comes back correctly.
    I have set up iCal server with the correct host name (sever1.example.com), and enabled SSL.
    The service is active.
    The issue comes in when I attempt to enable the calendar service for any user. I check the enable box in Workgroup Manager, but only get "No calendar host selected" to in the menu.
    The iCal Server manual mentions something about creating an SRV record in DNS, but if that is really needed, I don't completely understand the steps to create it.
    Any suggestions?

    Workgroup Manager 10.6.2 (361.2.1) no longer presents information relating to calendaring in the Advanced tab.
    Workgroup Manager 10.5.5 (319.2.2) (in Server Admin Tools 10.5.7) and
    Workgroup Manager 10.6 (361.1.1) continue to display the option to enable calendaring.
    MacOSXServerUpdCombo10.6.2.dmg comprises MacOSXServerUpdCombo10.6.2.pkg — no separate package for Server Admin Tools. I guess that standalone installers (for 10.5.x and 10.6.x.) for fixed versions of Server Admin Tools will appear in due course.

  • Unable to enable Archive for user

    We recently migrated from Exchange 2007 to 2013, the next step is to start using the archive feature available in 2013. However, one of the test users is presenting a problem, when I try to enable archiving I get this
    Mailbox 'User Name' can't be archive-enabled because it has a managed folder mailbox policy assigned. Archives are supported only with a retention policy, the messaging records management (MRM) feature introduced in Exchange 2010.
    We did not use Exchange 2010 at any point, so I don't understand where this could be coming from.
    I found multiple articles talking about this in Exchange 201, and a number of responses saying run this
    Set-Mailbox user -ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy $null
    When I tried running it, I got this result
    A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy'.
    + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Mailbox], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Set-Mailbox
    + PSComputerName : server.domain.com
    Can anyone advise how I resolve this? I have a feeling I am going to come across this on multiple users...

    Try:
    Set-Mailbox <user> -RemoveManagedFolderAndPolicy $true
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123981%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
    If it fails, drop the $true.  I haven't used this switch before, so I don't know off hand if it needs the value or not.

  • On Prem Lync - Enable federation for "Lync Online" causes presence fail and gives error when creating groups

    Hi all,
    We have had Lync on premise for a long time, and have recently added Office 365 Business Premium Plan because we wanted Cloud exchange and SharePoint.
    I have found that on our on prem Lync, when we enable federation for "Lync Online" it cause our presence to intermittently flick on and off, and we are unable to create groups in our Lync Client. We get the message "unable to create a group
    at this time".
    We are also not able to federate with Office365 hosted Lync Online clients.
    This seems to be a bug between Office365 plans that have hosted lync licenses and on prem Lync. Has anyone found the
    What I need to do is disable office365 Lync, and I have tried to do that in every location I can find (DNS/User settings), but I still have this issue.
    Has anyone come across this issue and found a fix?
    Simon.

    Hi,
    Did you do a Lync Hybrid environment or just make federation with Lync Online?
    Please double check if there is any wrong configuration for federation with Lync online environment. You can refer to the following steps in the link below of “Configure federation support for a Lync Online domain in Lync Server 2013”:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202166.aspx
    Then make sure CMS replication update to the latest status.
    If the issue persists, check if Lync Server update the latest version. If not, update it and then test again.

  • Steps to enable lync 2013 QOS for audio

    Experts,
    I am on the way to enable lync 2013 QOS for audio only. We have already decided the ports ranges and make sure that its not override.
    I just want to now, what will be happen to existing users using eEnterprise voice during i will lock the ports in servers and clients with GPO.
    What is user impact during the implementation. I can't see any TechNet article for same. Do we have some recommended steps to follow to avoid any issue to existing users ??
    Anil MCC 2011,ITIL V3,MCSA 2003,MCTS 2010, My Blog : http://messagingschool.wordpress.com

    While you configure QoS nothing will happen with existing users or even existing calls.  All that happens when you set a port range for Audio in the Lync is the next calls after the user picks up the change (client refreshes policies every 8 hours or
    on log out/in) will us that port range.
    If you have already decided on the port range you simply need to create the corresponding GPOs for both Server and Client as you mention.  There is no harm in doing it mid-day unless you had defined ports before/specific firewall rules across the environment
    for those ports - but that doesn't sound like the scenario here.
    Thanks,

  • Lync - Can I disable video for P2P but enable it for conferencing?

    Can I disable video for P2P but enable it for conferencing?
    I know this is an odd request but can anyone help me find any information that confirms if this is possible or not?

    Actually there is an extended policy introduced with one of the previous cumulative update.
    Having applied the latest CU on both server and the clients, IgnoreEnableP2PVideoPolicyInConf policy would enable the exact behaviour.
    Before running the cmdlet below for a client policy, please confirm that that AllowIPVideo is set to True and EnableP2PVideo is set to False for that user.
    set-csclientpolicy IgnoreEnableP2PVideoPolicyInConf -PolicyEntry @{add=New-CsClientPolicyEntry -Name IgnoreEnableP2PVideoPolicyInConf -Value 1}
    Hope that helps
    Perfect
    same bug in lync 2013 and It works for Lync 2013 too

  • AD stored user Photos do not display in Lync for Mac 2011

    I'm using Lync for Mac 2011 14.0.9 and the my user photo as well as the photos of other users who are using photos stored in our AD do not display.  This behaviour has been occurring at least since 14.0.5.  The behaviour occurs regardless of whether
    I sign in using Kerberos or name / Password.  This behaviour is common for all our Mac lync users. The only photos that display are ones from windows lync users that have chosen to use a photo that is stored on the internet somewhere.
    The Lync for Mac 2011 client is running against Lync Server 2010 and Exchange 2010 servers.
    I also have the common problem that I cannot search the global address book for lync users.  Maybe this is related but none of the reports I've seen about the address book search have mentioned anything about photos not displaying. 
    Anyone Experience similar issues or know where I could start to find the problem with the contacts display?  It used to work correctly way back in 14.0.2 and subsequently an update around 14.0.5 killed the features for me.
    Oh and the Mac is running OSX 10.9 but the issues also occurred in OSX 10.8
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Did you choose “Show a picture from a web address” on Windows Lync 2010 client? If yes, on Windows Lync 2010 client, choose “Default corporate picture” instead of “Show a picture from a web address”. Then open Lync 2011 on Mac computer to test the issue.
    The choose will sync to all Lync clients for the same Lync account.

  • Enable save for all users in rich client document defaultly for all users

    Hi,
    Is there a option to enable save for all users in a rich client document defaultly for all users across the company. As the users who are creating reports are forgetting to check the box before sending the rich client document to others. Kindly let me know if you have any suggestions on this.
    Thanks,
    Karthik

    I'd suggest that is is where your BO folder structure comes in. You can export from Rich Client to any folder that you have permissions to access - some sort of collaboration folder system would potentially be better and more secure than sending unsecured reports via email. If your IT security team found out that you were removing document security, I doubt they'd be impressed!
    You can't do the default save for all users, simple as that (it's bad practice anyway, which is probably why you can't). While it's not the answer that you want to hear, it is the correct one.

  • Enabling calendaring for a user or group not working

    Am having an issue getting ical server/sharing and webcalandars working. Think it is all related.
    First a description of my server environs. One xserve acting as OD master, fileserver, vpn, DNS and DHCP server as well. Second xserve acting as DNS, mail, web and ical server. Second server is OD replica.
    DNS is working. All OD functions including kerberos are working. Mail and webmail are working as well.
    The hostname in iCal Server Admin settings is the FQDN of my second xserve. icalxserve.domain.com. I can start iCal. Then I get this error in the logs:
    twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryInitError: Open Directory has no /Computers records with a virtual hostname: icalxserve.domain.com
    Remember this server is a OD replica. It is listed in the Computers pane under Workgroup Manager and its name is server.domain.com$. All the computers have $ at the end so I assume this is normal. All services are set for access from all users in Server Admin -> server -> Access. In Server Admin Web -> Sites -> (default site highlighted) Web Services webmail, wiki and blog and web calendaring are all checked as well. I have also tried to enable wiki and blog and web calendar for groups in Workgroup Manager. The only choices in the pop up are none and wiki host for domain.com. Strange.
    I cannot enable calendaring for any user. I check the Enable calendaring box under Advanced in the Accounts pane in Workgroup Manager and no server is listed in the pop up menu. It only reads No calendar host selected without any other choices. It should show me icalxserve.domain.com.
    When I goto http://icalxserve.domain.com site I get the default homepage and webmail works. If I click on the Groups button I see the 2 groups I have enabled services for. But when I click on the groupname I get the following error page:
    Not Found
    404: No group with that name (thomas) hosted on this server
    Not sure what to do next. OD doesn't seem to be working like I would expect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Please note I am posting this late on Sunday night and have jury duty tomorrow. I will obviously try to check back as soon as I can but maybe not until Monday night. Thanks again.

    Hi
    +"I don't see this option. Am I doing doing something wrong?"+
    Your Rider seems to indicate 10.6? If you're not seeing this option in WorkGroup Manager I'm guessing you're using 10.6 Server? In which case you've posted in the wrong forum with a question that's not applicable anymore. Apple removed those options in 10.6. Another possibility is you're trying to manage a 10.5 Server using 10.6 Server Admin Tools and it's giving unpredictable results? The Server Administration Applications cab behave oddly if you're trying use a newer version on an older server. You should use the version of the Tools that came with the Server.
    The 10.6 iCal Server Admin Manual is here:

  • ASA enable authentication for AD user by ACS TACACS fails

    In order to authorize command on ASA8.x for different users, I have to put 'aaa authentication enable console TACACS' into ASA configuration, and in ACS - user setup - TACACS+ enable password - Use separate password, I set an enable password.
    It works fine for ACS local users, they are able to get into priv EXEC mode by entering 'enable' command and use my pre-set password, however, the password doesn't work for AD user.
    So, how to setup enable authorization for AD user?
    Or is there a way to drop a user directly into level 15 on ASA just like it on router?
    below is the debug info.(I'm sure the password is the one I set in ACS)

    I have run into a similar situation. I just want to authenticate via TACACS to enable mode in an ssh session. After using the "aaa authentication enable console TACACS LOCAL" command on the ASA, the ACS server rejects the password.
    I have tried everything I can think of on the ACS as far as "TACACS+ enable password" using both a windows database or a separate password, and PIX/ASA command sets. I cannot go into enable mode unless I set the ASA to LOCAL authentication, which just uses the globally defined enable password.

  • Can't enable calendaring for some users in WGM

    10.5.6 server
    OD set up and working fine
    I'm trying to get going with iCal server for the first time
    The 3 accounts that I initially enabled for calendaring seem to work fine, but now I can't add any more. If I enable calendaring for a user in WGM and save the record, if I go to another record and then back to the one I changed, I see that calendaring is disabled for that user.
    It continues to work for the initial 3 users.
    iCal server error log did have some messages about "Record disabled due to conflict: <OpenDirectoryRecord..........."
    I read on another post that this indicates a problem with duplicate UIDs/GIDs
    I found one each UID ad GID that were both duplicated in local and LDAP records, so I changed those in WGM. On top of that I found that groups "Open Director Users" and "Open Directory Administrators" had the same GIDs in both local and LDAP domains, but guessed that I had better leave these alone. There are no other duplicate UIDs or GIDs.
    Stop and start iCal server.
    Problem remains.
    Any ideas please?
    Many thanks......

    Dear All,
    I have the same problem, i can't active the 'web calendaring' for groups and for users, the checkbox 'enable calendaring' don't stay checked if i close and open the workgroup manager...
