How to create global groups for end users

Just started deployment of Lync 2013.  We do not host our exchange / mail internally.  It is a hosted solution (not exchange).  We do use outlook though.
It has been a long time since I set up Lync (Since OCS 2007 / 2007 R2)
Can someone please tell me how to create groups for all users on the Lync Client and populate them from groups in AD.Right now we are using Spark and we have decided to use Lync.  In Spark it queries AD every day and populates the groups from AD
groups that we have defined.
I know that users can create there own groups, but we prefer to have every client have every group (department) and those in department listed below rather than them have to manually add them individually.
Thanks for your direction.
John

Hello john,
Lync Client can't use AD group or Exchange mail group. You can't create Lync client group with AD GPO. each Lync user can create their own group in Lync client and of course can delete.
You can not manage Lync client within the
group as the centeral. There is no such
feature in Lync. you can examine 3rd party applications. for example ;

The statement is incorrect. You CAN use Distribution Groups from Active Directory in Lync Client:

  • How to set DEFAULT GROUP for a user when I create a user manually thru pl/s

    Hi Gurus,
    I am creating portal user accounts and groups thru pl/sql calls to
    portal.wwsec_oid.create_user_entry
    portal.wwsec_api.ADD_USER_TO_LIST
    I didn't find any parameters to set the DEFAULT GROUP for the users. I want to set the default group for all my users. I don't want to do it thru portal. Cuz, We have around 1600 users. Please post a reply if you have some info about how I can set this thru code.
    Thanks

    You can achieve that using 'wwsec_api.set_defaultgroup'....

  • How to create a shortcut for all users in Win 7 and Win 8?

    Hi,
    I'll trying to make a script that will create a shortcut in every user profile account in a computer. I stumble upon the script below from
    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Create-shortcut-in-your-11cfd3de/view/Discussions#content.
    Option Explicit
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim objShell
    Dim objDesktop
    Dim  objLink
    Dim strAppPath
    Dim strWorkDir
    Dim strIconPath
    strWorkDir ="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15"
    strAppPath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\ORGCHART.EXE"  'you have to use your URL to Interanet site or path to specific program
    'strIconPath = "\\server\Xyz.ico"     'specify the path to the icon please change to your valid path
    Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    'objDesktop = objShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
    Set objLink = objShell.CreateShortcut("C:\Users\%userprofile%\Desktop\Org_chart_test.lnk") 'change here To your shortcut name
    objLink.Description = "this is a test" 'replaec with your description
    'objLink.IconLocation = strIconPath
    objLink.TargetPath = strAppPath
    objLink.WindowStyle = 3
    objLink.WorkingDirectory = strWorkDir
    objLink.Save
    I did some modifications to cater to my need. Now the question is, how can I make the script create a shortcut for every user profile from the script above?
    Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You could create the shortcut at one machine, then copy it to the target as part of the logon script. Note also that this line contains an error:
    "C:\Users\%userprofile%\Desktop\Org_chart_test.lnk"
    It should read:
    "%userprofile%\Desktop\Org_chart_test.lnk"

  • How we create Schema group for every vendor?

    If we have multiple vendors/transporters, how you configure pricing procedure for each vendor what is the process of creating Schema group for every vendor?
    Thanks in advance
    Suresh

    hi suresh,
    you create Pricing procedure, and then you create Vendor schema group; and purchasing schea group.
    for your scenario you will create N number of vendor schema groups.
    follow this menu path:
    spro --> materials management --> purchasing --> conditions --> define price determination process --> Define schema determination --> define caluculation schema for standard purchase orders -->
    in that screen:
    you maintain entries in the combination of
    purchasing org schema group  -- vendor schema group -- pricing procedure.
    for your scenario, you maintain N number of vendor schema groups and assign it to procing procedure.
    hope this may help you,
    Regards

  • How to create authorization groups for G/L Accounting

    Hi:
    I have a problem with authorizations groups in FI, I hope you could help me.
    We want to control access to accounting in FI by authorization group so user only can work with some G/L accounts.
    I have seen in transaction FS00, in control data tab, a field called Auth. Group, but I really donu2019t know if this is the right field.
    Do you know how I can control access to G/L Accounts by Authorization Groups? Perhaps must I to create a new Authorization Group by roles? We have 4.6c.
    Please, any help is welcome.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Update the authorization group field in the GL master with any user defined value and then include the same in the respective user roles against the authorization object - F_BKPF_BES-BRGRU in PFCG
    Ensure you have updated 'Authorization group' for the GL accounts in your chart of accounts
    Thank You,

  • How to Create a Group for Permissions?

    When I create a new folder, the default owner is my home directory name ("short name") and the default group is also my home directory name ("short name"). Why is this? What is a group? How do I create a group name if I want to pick one myself?
    Are there any good tutorials/books on permsissions/owners/groups that explain how to set up accounts and use permissions at the average user level? "Mac help" is very skimpy in the a how/why to do something with ownership and permissions.

    In Mac OS X, every user account is a member of at least one group, and every file and folder has group permissions assigned. Groups give permissions to sets of users who are able to perform similar functions. Mac OS X does not provide an application to easily create and manage groups. Instead, it uses some preset groups to give users permissions and functionality. If you need to create and manage groups, you will need to use Mac OS X Server, or the built in NetInfo Manager.
    If you need more information, any book dealing with OS X and Unix should suffice.

  • How to create Logon groups for JAVA Systems

    Hi,
    I am implementing an BI JAVA Landscape. We do have 1 Central Instance(CI) and 2 Dialog Instances (DI) JAVA Standalone. Everything based on NW04s
    I have set up a Web Dispatcher to do a load balancing. The Web Dispatcher is connected to the Message Server (MS) of the JAVA CI to get all the information about the Engines.
    I am now looking to create Logon groups to distibute the load according the application used applications. I am not sure if there is a possibility to set up logon groups (server groups) directly somewhere in the J2EE engine, or if I have to set this up in the WebDispatcher konfiguration files?!
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Dominik

    We're trying to do something similar with NetWeaver CE 7.1.
    According to [this documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/3dbe11a82b6bf1e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm] there are 3 steps to doing this for NetWeaver CE 7.1:
    1. Logon Groups
    2. Web Dispatcher profile changes
    3. HTTP Provider property changes
    We've set up a Logon Group in the NetWeaver nwa and associated the two instances (one host) with it.
    "[Configuring Logon Groups Using Configuration Files|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/3c3f0cad9f4c2de10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm]" says: "...to create the files using HTTP Provider service."
    There it doesn't say exactly how to generate those 3 text files; it says: "1. Create the icrgroups.txt and urlinfo.txt files that define the logon groups. For more information, see the documentation of SAP Web Dispatcher." ; but, has no link to what it says to see.  So, I manually go to ["SAP Web Dispatcher", "Assigning Logon Groups"|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/b4/9aa8862e714e6db8e74e48e5d3283b/frameset.htm].  But, it all pretty much breaks down there because it's referring to apparently non-NetWeaver CE 7.1 stuff (as near as I can tell); for instance, how do the transactions SMLG and SICF relate to NetWeaver CE 7.1, or am I in the wrong place?
    I tried to press ahead with files similar to the examples here, but I hit this error in the Web Dispatcher:
    [Thr 5132] *** WARNING => ICT: path prefix /Curam/ not allowed in this context. Only prefix / allowed. [ictxxptab.c 764]
    [Thr 5132] *** WARNING => When a file is specified in wdisp/J2EE/url_map_location only URL prefix '/' is supported. See also SAP note 1033470. [icrxx.c 2925]
    The note reference looks hopeful, but I cannot read it; I get:
    Note 1033470  
    The requested SAP Note is either in reworking or is released internally only
    Does anyone have a copy of this Note or knows if it's helpful?
    Has anyone done this with NetWeaver CE 7.1?

  • How to Create Authorization Group for SAP Standard Tables

    All,
    I have 10 standard tables which are required to maintain by the user in Production environment.
    Is there any way to create a custom auth group for the standard table?
    Is it possible to assign same table in two different auth groups?
    Please advice
    Thanks,
    Kotesh

    Multiple tables can be linked to an auth group, but one table can be linked to only one auth group.
    You cannot link one table to more than one auth group.
    It is always advised to try to find an existing auth group having tables of same functinality and criticality, before creating a new auth group.
    In case you don't have any such auth group, I feel you can create a Z auth group using se16->tbrg.
    You can also create auth group using tcode se54.

  • How to Create ACCESS key for different users

    How to create or generate an ACCESS KEY which is required to make changes to the table V_FAGL_ACTIVEC (For New General ledger) for IDES 6.0. Is it created in table DEVACCESS, if so where or is it created in SU01 where user id's are maintained. Since I am working on IDES, I thought probably we can create it for each user in SU01, but dont know the steps to do it. Please help me. It is urgent.

    Hi
    ACCESS KEY - First of all its provided by SAP. You can get the key from http://service.sap.com -> SAP SUPPORT PORTAL -> Keys & Requests -> SCCR Keys -> Registration. Here u can register a DEVELOPER or an OBJECT, by this time SAP will give the ACCESS KEYS.
    **Note : To access http://service.sap.com u should have S number login or like that.
    Only after obtaining that ACCESS KEY, SAP will allow the DEVELOPER to create some objects or change or modify Delivered objects.
    Why ACCESS KEY - For creating or accessing any object some one should be responsible. Suppose, any issue arises with an object then can easily track the details who has created or modified.

  • How to create global toolbar for some common operation like add, delete etc

    Hi,
    I want to create one global toolbar which contains buttons for common operations such as add, delete, modify etc.
    I have one globl .jspx page and in its center facet, I am loading my each screen's .jsff page.
    Now I want to create global toolbar on my .jspx page and when I click on toolbar's add button at that time it should call, currently loaded .jsff (loaded in center facet of .jspx page) backing bean's add method.
    How can I get the instance of currently loaded .jsff backing bean in my toolbar's backing bean and also I need it with its current state( means whatever UI components have values I should be able to get it in my instance).
    Regards,
    Devang

    Hi,
    since page templates don't support method expression arguments there are two options I can imagine
    - define a contract between the toolbar buttons and the availability of a managed bean available for the consumer page. If for example each page has a managed bean like <viewId>_toolbar then the Toolbar could reference exposed methods on this bean (which must be consistent)
    - Another option is to have the page passing in the EL string to access the iterator to operate on as an attribute of the template you use. Then you create a ValueExpression from it and call it for the button action events that you point to the managed bean you deploy with the template

  • How to create global object for a number of views?

    Hello,
    Let's say I have 5 different views in a certain component.
    I would like to open a connection to a DB and share this connection between all views.
    Can somone please show/explain me where do I do it on the component and how do I access this connection from the views?

    Hi Roy,
    For getting the connection, you can create the datasource in the "Visual Administrator" and you can get the connection from the datasource. By doing this, you can retrive the connection from the connection pool.
    Refer the link to create the datasource and accessing it from the java code.
