Hi Stefan,
High-resolution user photos are displayed in Lync 2013 meetings when an active speaker does not have video enabled. Also, moving the mouse over thumbnail photo in the gallery will display the
high-resolution photo.
Looks like the configurations are correct. Can you reproduce this issue by using Lync 2013 client ?
Best regards,
Eric

Lync 2013 / Skype for Business sharing photos with federated contacts

In the new SfB client I can see photos of federated contacts. I'm on Office 365 and this only happens for Federated contacts also hosted on Office 365 where we have an Exchange organisation relationship. I'm not sure if this
is because of the new client, updated server software in Office 365 or something I just missed before.
If I look into the client debug files I can see that the photo URL for Office 365 includes the wssecurity (federated authentication) but for onprem system it's missing.
I have customers with Lync onprem asking for sharing the high res photos with external organisations. The classic URL-sharing is not a viable solution for several reasons. So, based on these findings:
Is the wssecurity (Web Service Security) in the EWS path something that will come to SfB server for onpremises making ot possible to enable photo sharing between organisations having federated identity configured in Exchange?

Hi,
The Skype For Business Server update will come soon, I couldn't find any information about if the WSSecurity would be added to the EWS path for sfb. You can check when the update for Skype For Business comes. Thank you for your understanding.

Register and integrate SIP number in Skype for Business

Skype for Business: Admin would prefer you to use Lync or it's the only version server supports.

We're running Lync Server 2013, in house, and some of our more fearless users decided it would be a good idea to install the newly released Skype for Business client.
These users were greeted with the following prompt;
You have the newer version of Lync called Skype for Business. However, your admin would like you to use Lync or it's the only version your server supports. Please restart now to use Lync.
I suspect, that our server is causing this. Can anyone point me in the direction of server prerequisites/patches/updates/KBs that might help eradicate this message?
Many thanks in advance,
James Vincent

Hi,
It is controlled by the server (Client policy), when having Feb-2015 Lync CU installed on your Lync frontends, you can control the UI of the client by using Client Policy on the Lync side "Set-csClientPolicy -EnableSkypeUI $False or $True"
nevertheless you need to know that if you block the Skype UI users will get the mentioned Warning Message and the client will reboot into the old Lync UI but still they will have some confusion with some points (refer to this article for more details
http://masteringlync.com/2015/04/04/change-is-coming-what-enableskypeui-doesnt-do/ )
If you want to block the whole update, you can do that by blocking the new updates and patches released two days ago using "SCCM or WSUS" although I think if you haven't done that already it is little late for that.

High resolution photos. How to?

I need to e-mail high resolution photos. What is the best way to do this from an iMac, iPad, iPhone?
thanks!

If for business, uploading to an FTP site rather than e-mailing is the most efficient if teh recipient has one. My editor's email limits him to a small total size fo attachments that is almost always less than my copy and images, but the magazine has an ftp (file transfer protocol) site that is not picky about file size.
You normally use a separate ftp client program on your computer. I use CyberDuck because the publisher recommended it, but I don't think current versions will run on the pre-2006 iMac this forum covers.
If you MUST e-mail, you have to find out ahead of time whether your ISP or the recipient's have limits on file size.
If you elaborate on which iMac variant you have and what Mac OS version you run, we may come up with more targeted recommendation. Right now we're all guessing.

Lync 2013 / Skype for Business avatar problem

Hello there,
we’ve experienced a quite strange problem. When setting own user picture in Exchange OWA 2013 the picture right away is visible in SfB (Skype for Business) and everything work. The problem when deleting this
picture in OWA it never vanishes from SfB. Also when setting a new picture the new picture also shows in SfB BUT then deleting this picture again in OWA the very first picture comes back. I’ve tried to delete all kind of caches (Lync / Outlook / OAB) in Explorer
and Registry already but it just does not help. I’m quite sure that this is a local problem because we I sign in to another client computer with the same account the empty user picture is showing (as it should). Is there any way to get rid of this somewhere
cached picture? It’s obviously not a problem at the server side.
Thanks for help!
Cheers
Robert

Hi,
The photo cache on Lync client side: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync \sip_<SIP URI>\ABS_<SIP URI>.cache, try to delete it and test again.
Please also try to repair Office and then have a test.

Any way to remove the prompt after Skype for Business patch?

So we rolled out the latest patches to our test machines and everyone got the new Skype for Business upgrade. When each person logged in they were greeted with a window that said something like:
"Your administrator is set for you to use the Lync User Interface."
We then had to click the Restart Now button which caused Lync to close and open up again and it looked like Lync instead of like Skype.
Is there any way to not have that pop up open and to just have everyone get the old Lync interface as if nothing happened? GPO, Registry, etc?
We want to minimize any confusion people are sure to have the first time they use it.
Thanks!

You can enable the SkypeUI (Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -EnableSkypeUI $true) with the backend still being Lync Server 2013 to get the new client look and feeling.
The Skype for Business 2015 RTM Server bits should be out in May, but the current new functionality can be taken from:

Can I just enable it for individual users for testing? I tried doing a get-csclientpolicy and replacing -identity global with -identity <user ID> but it said it didn't exist since it seems it's looking for policies. Not sure if there's
some other way to do that.
Do I need to setup a new policy and just add certain people to it or is there any other way to do that for specific users?
Thanks!

Lync 2013 - Skype for business User Interface

Hello,
We are using Lync 2013 with Lync 2013 server with CU from August 2014 (so not ready for Skype for Business).
I have installed latest Desktop Updates for Windows and Office, and now everytime we log on we get the Skype for Business UI with the question to restart the client with the Lync UI.
I have followed the recommendation in this article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn954919.aspx
I have set this:
In the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync] key, create a new
Binary value.
The Value name must be EnableSkypeUI, and the
Value data must be set to 00 00 00 00.
But this settings seems to be completely ignored... doesn't do anything.
We can't set the policy on the server, as the server is not yet up-to-date and doesn't know about a Skype UI policy.
Can somebody please tell me how I can start the updated Lync / Skype for Business client with the Lync UI as a default (without disturbing the user with the restart-the-client pop-up)?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
As mentioned the Lync Server is not up-to-date, based on my knowledge this is why the issue occurs.
Please refer to this article below:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn954919.aspx
You can configure the client experience only if you are running Lync Server 2013 with the December 2014 Cumulative Update (5.0.8308.857) or later installed. The latest one is:
KB 3036869 February 2015 Cumulative Update 5.0.8308.871 for Lync Server 2013 Core Management Server.
You can specify the client experience the users in your organization will see by using the
Set-CSClientPolicy cmdlet with the EnableSkypeUI parameter:
Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -EnableSkypeUI $true

Is it possible to add high resolution photos to an ipad2 without synchronising it?

Hi,
I'm looking in to offering potential clients an ipad with all their wedding photos pre loaded, but is it possible to add photos without synchronising each ipad to my mac? When I first got my ipad2, I couldn't use it for anything until I had connnected and registered it with Apple........I have got the camera connection kit, but haven't found a workaround for adding photos without synchronising yet?
I haven't been able to find much info on the subject so far? There must be a workaround?
Cheers,
MacSlates

The first thing that currently needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer that is running iTunes - it can't currently be used 'properly' until after that is done. After iOS 5 is released and is pre-installed on iPads then I think that should change and you will no longer need to first connect to a computer.
The camera connection kit can be used to add high-resolution photos to the iPad, unlike syncing via iTunes where the photos get 'optimised' by the transfer process. If adding the photos to the SD card yourself then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
Otherwise there are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos to/from the iPad from your computer via your wifi network. But photos transferred this way will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album in the Photos app, not into a 'proper' album - and until iOS 5 is released and installed you won't be able to move the photos between albums on the iPad : from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums - right on your device
Also a problem with syncing photos to the iPad via iTunes is that they then need to be on the other person's computer when they then connect to it - otherwise the photos are likely to be removed from the device. Photos copied via the connection kit or copied via third-party apps shouldn't have that problem.

Has anyone seen any issues with persistent Chat in the Skype for Business Technical Preview client? No Messages dispalyed.

Hi all,
We are testing out the new Skype for Business technical preview client
with Lync 2013 and although we're not really users of Persistent Chat, I wanted to install this feature too so I added a server pool just to check things out.
I can post and even search the history (which shows results), but apart from seeing my immediate post, when I close the room a re-enter I see nothing. I get a notifications that there are new posts, but clicking "Read" button also does nothing.
We're off for Easter and I wont have access to another Lync 2013 client until we return, so I'm not sure if there is just something odd with my installation.
I would be interesting to see if other are having this issue.
Cheers
Chris

Exporting Final Cut Movie Frame as High Resolution Photo

Hello everyone,
Is there a way to take a frame in a final cut movie and export it as a high resolution photo? My supervisor has taken some great video footage and would like to use parts of it to make a calendar. I've tried exporting in quicktime, but the highest resolution I get is 72 dpi.
Even if there's a 3rd party program that will do this if Final Cut won't, please let me know. Thank you!

There are any number of up-rez tools for Photoshop that do a pretty good job of creating pixels where none exist. Simply resampling at a larger size/pixel count often creates acceptable results. But, as stated, there are only a limited number of pixels available: whatever you shot with. If you shot with a fabulous high def (not HDV) camera, you might have as many as 1080x760 some odd pixels.
