Getting user presence availability from Lync Online

Hello.
Suppose we have an organization where all users have a Lync account, and the organization uses Lync Online (i.e. not an on-premise server).
We would like to retrieve the presence availability (online, busy, etc.) of any specific user (to display on an intranet user profile page) without actually being logged on with a Lync client.
Is there any way to do this through for instance PowerShell or any other mechanism/API in Office 365? Would it be possible to set up a provider of sorts from which the presence availability could be requested?
P.S. I am posting the question here, because I cannot find a dedicated Lync Online forum here.
Cheers,
Lasse Jensen

This is currently not possible with Office365. The only supported SDK for interacting with O365 is the Lync client SDK. I believe it is on the road map to enable UCWA access at some point in the future (no promises here).

User presence feature for Lync

Hi all,
I have deployed Lync Server 2010 without exchange.
I need USER PRESENCE feature alone from exchange.
Could anyone tell me a Exchange deployment path to do this?
I heard that providing a exchange mail box to all the user will provide this presence feature.
Thanks and Regards,
ArunKumar.J

Agree with Georg, you will get user presence without Exchange, it should know when you're in a conference, know when you're away, and you can manually set it. What Exchange gets you is presence updates based upon items in your calendar. If you
deploy mailboxes for each user, they would need to start using and schedulign meetings in the calendar. If Lync sees a meeting in the Exchange calendar, the presence will change to Busy during this time.

Get User LockedOut Status from java code

Hi,
Our java application is using default security via weblogic 10.3 security realm. If the user enters wrong password more than 5 times in say 5 min interval, then the user is locked out for the next 30 minutes by weblogic. All the parameters are configurable & enabled in security realm from weblogic admin console.
My question is how can we get user 'isLockedOut' status from my java application so that I can display to the user that the reason you have not been able to login to the application is that the user has been locked out not because your current password is wrong.
I am looking from something like in here
http://weblogicserver.blogspot.com/2010/04/user-lockout-wlst.html
But I don't know how to get the handle to 'ServerSecurityRuntime()' from my java code.
Please advise.
Cheers,
tamu

Thanks Ravish & Faisal. Both the replies are useful but I had come across this before. I haven't tried them as I have reservation about 2 things for it to be used in production application.
(1) User credential to logon to admininstration console. It varies from environment to environment & it can change as well. If we have different files to store the passwords for different environments, it will be visible to everyone that have access to the file. It will have security implications.
(2) The passwords for the environments will keep on changing & if it is incorporated in code, it would require another deployment.
I am kind of thinking of not using weblogic lockout feature & incorporating within our application & store the values in our app database. This will however require more work. I was hoping I would have been able to catch some sort of exception from weblogic when user account is locked, so that I can display message to the client that the user is locked.

Is it possible to archive user presence change in Lync 2013?

We are using Lync 2013 and were wondering for QA purposes, is there a way to get or archive presence data in Lync 2013? Is the presence information only available in the client?
Thanks!

Based on the Technet article

How do i know if i get a student discount from the online purchase of logic pro

I want to buy Logic Pro, but I can't find it in any apple store in my town, so I'm gonna buy it online. I live in Prague, I came here as an exchange student, originally I live in Turkey. I want to know how to get a discount from the online purchase, I couldn't find it in the website so I would be really glad if you guys helped me!
Thank you!

hello Michek :
not sure you can get "student discount" for this app. you will have to ask more detail from your Apple representative.
when you click/ order some merchandise from the Apple store (https://store.apple.com), there's link at bottom of page (like "Apple Store US," "Education Store," "Business," or "Government Store"). you click on the [Education Store] & in the prompt you enter the name of your university/school. but Logic Pro is not purchased here.
you have to purchase Logic Pro from the App Store... and APP store doesn't have [Education Store] link. so your Apple representative in Prague may have a different way to complete this. or Apple World Wide.

Is set-csclientpolicy not available for Lync Online (Office 365) ?

Is set-csclientpolicy not available as a cmdlet to administer Lync Online? we need to set the DisableCalendarPresence setting for our organization.

If it's helpful, here's a listing of Lync Online cmdlets:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj994021.aspx
As Richard noted, it's a very small subset of Lync 2013 on premises commands and set-csclientpolicy isn't one of the ones listed.

Getting ÿþ as saved conversations from Lync in Outlook in Office 2013

Hi,
I've been trying to get to the bottom of this and have found similar posts, but no one seems to have an answer.
When I IM someone using Lync 2013, they get a pop up notification but instead of the message they see ÿþ<. Once they open the chat window, they can see my typed text. Occasionally, certain people can't see the first line of my chat, but as
long as they keep the chat window open, they can see everything new I type.
All my conversations that are saved in outlook show ÿþ< for the text and are unreadable. I've disabled the saving of conversations because they have become worthless.
I believe it has to do with BOM but have not been able to find a way to fix this.
If I copy a conversation from the chat window and paste it into Microsoft Word it shows ÿþ<, but if I paste it into notepad the conversation appears.
(I had inserted a screenshot here, but am unable to because I am unable to figure out how to get my account "verified")
I've tried changing the preferred encoding for outgoing messages: to Unicode (UTF-8) in Outlook, but this had no effect and I can't find a similar option in Lync 2013.
(I had inserted a screenshot here, but am unable to because I am unable to figure out how to get my account "verified")
I enabled logging for Lync and the event IDs that come up are 1, 11 and 12, to which I cannot find any information for at the moment.
Any help and or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
Did the issue happen only for you or for multiple users?
Please try to delete Lync User Profile and information on Registry, then repair Office 2013.
The path of Lync User Profile: %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync
The path for information on Registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
Then test the issue again.

How to get user browser locale from view object

Hello,
Currently, I have a view object that's used to retrieve localized messages from data base. The resource table looks like the following:
MSG_ID VARCHAR2, --> specify the L10N resource reference
LOCALE VARCHAR2, --> used to specify the user locale (browser locale)
MESSAGE VARCHAR2 --> real message
I'm creating a bind variable (let's say it 'RequestLocale') in this view object to specify the locale and to get the expected L10N message. Currently, the value for this bind is set as an Expression with value of 'viewObject.DBTransaction.session.locale.toString()'.
After defining the view object (and the bind variable like above), I created a table by dragging the view object to a jsf page, and run and open the page in a web browser. It seems that the messages (specified by the locale) could be retrieved correctly. But once I change the web browser language settings to another preferred language, and refresh the page, I found that the message is still for the previous locale, and not refreshed to the locale (language/country) that's newly set in web browser.
Am I supposed to do more thing to get the 'locale' work by using the adf view object bind variable?
Thanks.

Hi,
after changing the locale, can you try a re-direct of the page to see if this changes the locale. In ADF, the locale is set by the HTTP request handler in the ADF lifecycle ensuring that the locale is passed to the middle tier. So the expected change is to come from the view layer (which is why I think you need a redirect). Another option to check is to access the HttpRequestObject from the FacesContext --> External Application to check the request locale

Is there a way to get "user created" content from google maps on my touch?

Hi,
I have tried to figure out a way to load some saved maps I have made on Google Maps on to my ipod touch but it hasn't been working. I don't see any options to load such info and when I tried to go to gmaps from the Safari browser it automatically loads the Map app...I bypassed this by sending an email with a link to the user created content but safari had trouble reading the page probably due to frames or some other inline content...There has to be a way to do this - it is a really valuable feature to have, especially since the user community has offered up their maps to the web as well.
HELP?

Welcome to the Forums!
If you're using a Mac, you can save the maps a jpg images, then transfer them to your IPT using FileMarkMaker.
Hope this helps...

15" PowerBooks no longer available from Apple online stores

I guess it's finally happening. The powerbooks are being slowly retired. My powerbook is now a classic.

Trust what???
I don't need Apple telling me what I need!!! ****, you sound like you have no idea about the range of user's Apple has been able to attract since OS X.
Apple's decision to discontinue the 15" PowerBook is galactically short-sighted.
It has to be hands-down the most popular form-factor for the business user, and as business users, we absolutely have to live in a Windows world.
Until the MacBook can support Virtual PC, I cannot and will not upgrade. Given Microsoft's past performance, I wouldn't even hope to see VPC upgraded before 2007. You absolutely should be offering the 15", even at a special order price for those of us who will need to replace their laptops before we can switch to the MacBook.
Bad Apple Bad. For smart guys you sure do make some stupid decisions.

Why is the X-Fi Music no longer available from anyone online

Guys in various forums have noticed that it is seemingly impossible to get an X-Fi Xtreem Music card now. What is creative doing? Did they drop the product? Are they trying to get people to buy the more expensi've models?

I've noticed this too. I just bought my X-Fi XtremeMusic less than 30days ago, and I'm thinking about RMA'n it back to TigerDirect; not sure yet though, but I don't have much time to decide.
A few sites still have it, but many don't now. Tigerdirect.com, where I got mine, is one of the ones that took it off.
I just asked tigerdirect.com customer service, they said they had more on order, and didn't want to put any on backorder. that's what they told me anyway.
newegg.com has it listed as 'out of stock'.

Lync Online - Presence

Hi All,
New to Lync - so please excuse if this is a well known thing.
I understand the Lync presence works through the Lync client. When I sign out from my Lync client, outlook loses all the presence information as well.
Is the presence user experience same in Lync Online as well? In other words, is it still delivered through Lync clients?
Also, what about web Lync clients? Are they able to deliver presence information please?
Is there any option to deliver the presence information via the Lync servers or the Lync Online service instead of the clients?
I hope I am making sense. Please advise.
Regards,
Ajay Suri

Hi,
Doesn't matter if it's on premises or Cloud, Presence goes with the Lync client. Based on the activity that the client goes through the presence will change.
The basic principle of Lync is "Presence" where you can reach a person no matter where he\she is based on presence. what you're suggesting is not possible.
Lync doesn't have a web client. It only have a web client to join in to meetings only.

Need information for federation with lync online

We have an online lync account and one lync on premises account. We are trying to federate the two domains to enable chat and presence sharing between the two.
Online Lync client is [email protected] and lync on premises client is [email protected] We have updated the SRV records for ggnucfederation.com as follows to enable federation with lync online.
_sipfederationtls._tcp.ggnucfederation.com --> sip.xmppspark.in
An A record for sip.xmppspark.in has also been added in the DNS to point to lync edge server. However we notice that, when we add
[email protected] from lync online, then no TLS handshake message is received at Lync edge server.
Interestingly, if we modify the SRV record to
_sipfederationtls._tcp.ggnucfederation.com --> sip.ggnucfederation.com
and correspondingly create A record for sip.ggnucfederation.com, then TLS handshake is initiated and done.
What could we have possibly missed that is causing problem in the first case? Is it necessary to create the SRV record of type sip.<domainname>?
As per my understanding, lync online should query the srv record to get the target machine for the sipfederationtls and accordingly initiate tls handshake with the host name specified in the srv record. Is there anything more to this?

Not sure what you mean bu "Any other SRV record" above. The bottom line is that, On Prem deployment have an SRV (_sipfederationtls) record that resolve in to sip.domain.com (Access edge FQDN which is a A record) and Lync online deployment should
also have a SRV record (_sipfederationtls) that resolve in to sip.domain.com (CNAME Record) which points to sipfed.online.lync.com (A record which ger created automatically)
http://thamaraw.com
Thanks Thamara for your replies!
By 'any other SRV record' i meant, that I wish to make the srv record (_sipfederationtls._tcp.ggnucfederation.com) point to sip.xmppspark.in. The reason for this is that our certificates are by this CNAME i.e. sip.xmppspark.in. So there is any way I could
achieve that?
Interestingly, does this restriction only applies to lync 2013 and office 365? I mean, I was going through some other forums, for lync 2010, where I found that people were using access edge fqdn as the sip srv record which was not necessarily sip.domain.com.
