Install Lync Web App Plugin For Another User

I'm wondering if there is a way to install the plugin for the Lync Web App for another user. The reason why is that administrative permissions are required and our users are not allowed to have those permissions. I have the MSI but when I look at it, it
says
"Cannot install [ProductName].Setting the AllUsers property is not allowed because [ProductName] is a per-user application."
Is there a way that I can install the MSI, maybe through the command line or another method, and specify another user so it installs to their profile?
Thanks!

Hi,
This is typically achieved by allowing exceptions in your software control strategy for the required executable;
LWAPlugin.exe
LWAVersionPlugin.exe
AppSharingHookController.exe
AppSharingHookController64.exe
This typically occurs in VDI deployments where users are not able to install software onremote server, so the above rule is added to the Software Restriction Policy (providing that's what you're using to control application installation).
I'm not familiar with any associated cmd line switches I'm afraid.
Kind regards
Ben

Windows Server 2008 (TS) and Lync Web App installation failure

Hey folks,
I've run into a little big problem due the Lync Web App installation via mstsc on a stand alone Terminal Server 2008 SP2 64 Bit. When I tried to install the Lync Web App Plugin via
mstsc and standard user I get the message:
"The system administrator has
set up a policy that the installation
prevents"
Till that it's just fine.
The next thing I did is to disable the UAC and DEP, but same problem as above. I also tried to extract the install EXE for the MSI packages to allow the installation. But did not work.
After I searched the internet for an answer relating to this problem I've had to create or change a RegEdit entry. So I switched to the registry to:
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
and created a DWORD entry DisableMSI and set it to 0. Then I tried the installation of Lync Web App Plugin via
mstsc and standard user again and this message appeared:
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2755"
Now the curious thing is, that when I am logged on locally, the standard user is able to install the Lync Web App Plugin. And it works fine. After the installation is complete I can switch to mstsc again and it works.
The only thing what doesn't work is to install Lync Web App Plugin via mstsc into the user profile.
Any suggestions?

Before you install the application, change your user mode to installation mode.
You can run the following command with Prompt Command:
Change user /install
After the application is installed, change back to execution mode, you can do so by running the following command:
Change User /Execute

Join meeting using Lync Web App resolves to internal

Vanilla Lync deployment: 1 FE (Standard Edition), 1 Edge, 1 Reverse Proxy (IIS 8, ARR 3.0), 1 Office Web Apps Server
When I send out a meeting invitation to an external user and they click on Join Meeting, the resulting link "Join Using Lync Web App Instead" points to my FE server.
I've got the External web services FQDN defined in Topology Builder:
'lyncweb.domain.com', but when I go to install Lync Web App, it says it can't find 'lyncfe.domain.local'
Looking at the URL for the 'Join Using Lync Web App instead' I see:
"https://lyncfe.domain.local/lwa/WebPages/LwaClient.aspx?legacy=..."
My reverse proxy has server farms set up that all point to my FE server, as prescribed.
Another issue I think is related: I have 2 simple URLs listed for meetings: meet.domain.com AND meet.domain.local; both show as active. Do I need the internal URL? If not, I can't remove it. I tried but after I highlight it and click on remove, it just puts
a red box around the field and greys out the OK button.
So I thought, maybe that's because I have 'domain.local' defined as a SIP domain. So I checked there and, yes, I do. And it's the
Default SIP domain. I have 'domain.com' listed as an additional SIP domain.
I thought about changing the default to 'domain.com' but found an article (http://lyncuc.blogspot.com/2014/04/change-default-sip-domain-in-lync.html) which says DON'T DO
IT.
So...?
"Never, ever doubt what nobody is sure about." -Willy Wonka

Confirm that the External Web Services FQDN for the Lync Front End pool is not defined anywhere else in the topology, must be unique. Seen people use the same FQDN as their Edge server.
Confirm External Web Service FQDN is on the SAN list for the Reverse Proxy Certificate and the Lync Front End Certificate.

Only Guest users with Lync Web App

Hello!
I would like to allow just "Guest" users when they use the Lync Web App 2013. Is there anyway from Lync Server side to configure this?
Now it pops-up the user & password authentication, and I want to restrict the users to use only Anonymous access when they join to a Conference. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance! :D

Office Web Apps server for Lync DNS question

We are going to deploy an Office Web Apps server for our Lync 2013 clients, available internally and externally. We do not have a split-horizon DNS so it is not possible for wac.foo.com to have a different IP for internal vs. external clients. What is the
best setup for our scenario? It looks like we can only add one address in the Lync topology builder, so would it make sense to send everybody to the external wac.foo.com regardless of whether they are internal vs. external? Or is there a better option?
Thanks,
Matt

It might be easiest to use pin-point DNS. Create an internal zone called wac.foo.com with a blank A record that points to the internal IP address of the OWAS/WAC server. This way, wac.foo.com will resolve to the correct
internal address, but you're not setting up a split zone for the rest of foo.com.
This trick can come in handy for publishing other items without recreating the entire zone, it's a nice one to keep in your back pocket.

Where to install Thunderbird on Mac OSX for multiple users.

Hello,
I would like to install the email program Mozilla Thunderbird on my Mac OSX (10.4.6) computer which is set up with several different user accounts. I am not sure where to install it so that everyone may be able to use it. I would like to install it once so that everyone may use it rather than installing it multiple times (once for each user).
As you might already know, in Mac OSX when you install a program in the main applications folder, it is available for everyone who uses the computer (available to all accounts). However, the trouble is, that although the actual Thunderbird program is available to all users the profile is not. The profile obviously is an important component of the Thunderbird mail program as it contains all the actual mail messages. When Thunderbird is installed, by default the profile folder is placed in the users home Library folder at:
users home folder/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
This location make it impossible for other users to access the profile and therefore Thunderbird will not work for the other users.
What should I do?
I have a couple solutions, however I would like to ask for some advice on what others do in this situation which I am sure is fairly common.
Here are my solutions:
1. Move the profile folder to a custom location that is accessible by all users in OSX such as the global Library folder (rather than the user's Library folder). Path of global Library folder:
/library/
Then let Thunderbird know it was moved to this custom location using Thunderbird's profile manager.
2. Try to figure out a way in mac OSX that allows the profile folder at this default location:
users home folder/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
to be accessible by all users.
Ownership and permissions need to be changed for the profile folder maybe?
3. Install thunderbird multiple times - once for each user - each with their own profile. The problem with this is then there will be multiple installations of the same program and they will not be able to share the same profile folder - which is what I would like to do - if possible.
I have a feeling that solution 1 is the more logical solution.
PS I am using Mac OS 10.4.6 (Tiger) with Thunderbird 1.5.0.4
Thanks for any advice.

Yup, its me again Always seem to have a question for the group
Thanks Mulder and Scott! I am sure glad I asked for your advice. I am completely new to the multi-user environment of OSX - as you can tell. (I guess I am still in OS9 thinking mode where there was only one user.)
Scott wrote:
"Mail can be configured to download any new email, but not remove it from the server until it is removed from the Mail application. This way, the email can be downloaded to multiple clients across multiple accounts."
Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out Scott. Good to know. This would seem to me to be similar to IMAP in some ways. This would be a good way to work in a multi-user environment. This is good info to be aware of.
It sounds like an interesting way to work.
Thanks to both of you for steering me aware from the difficulty of attempting to place the profile folder outside the home directory. This sounds like it would have been more work than necessary.
Why am I not using Apple's Mail program? Good question. I thought I would try out Thunderbird for a while - and maybe switch to Apple Mail later - just to see which one I prefer. I am a web developer and I have always liked the open source community and I thought it would be beneficial for me to become as familiar as possible with all the Mozilla products (Firefox and Thunderbird). As well, it keeps me somewhat on the same wavelength as my PC friends, of whom many use this program too. I don't want to be too much out of touch with my mac. I might try Mail later. Thunderbird has been great so far. It has excellent spam recognition abilities and you can train it too to detect spam.
Scott the "Family account" idea is an awesome idea. Thanks.
I have learned a lot from this post. This gives me a few logical solutions. As Mulder points out it is best to keep users' profiles separate. This makes it simpler. Excellent advice. I could still install the Thunderbird application in the global application folder and then each user account can open this Thunderbird application from their own account and configure the mail client with their own profile. All users will be using the same Thunderbird application but with their own profiles. Yes, thats it. I tried this out and it seems to work now - didn't seem to work earlier because I didn't know what I was doing
Another idea could be, if I really need to share one single profile, would be to follow Scotts advice and just set up a "Family account". Very simple solution. Nice idea.
So, those are the two top solutions.
Furthermore, I could use a mix of both strategies. For mail accounts that could be shared ([email protected]) I could create a "Family account" in OSX, as Scott detailed above, and then for mail accounts that are for each individual user ([email protected]), I could be sure they have separate profiles as detailed in Mulder's post.
Thanks for all these helpful ideas!

Lync Web App will not load and does not error out

Hi,
Recently I've been receiving invites to Lync 15 meetings. I am able to join the meetings and things work fine until somebody shares their desktop or a presentation. Then I get a message saying Windows firewall has blocked an app and asks if I want
to allow the Lync Web App to run. I click OK and it appears to begin loading. The app doesn't load, I can still hear audio on the meeting but all the rest of the Lync app freezes except for the spinning circle wheel telling me it is loading.
When I look in Task Manager, I can see the Lync Web App running with a steady stream of I/O. But the entire Lync meeting will not render. If I kill the Lync Web App from Task Manager, then the Lync meeting immediately works.
System: Win 7 pro 64, IE 9, AMD Athalon dual core chip, 4 GB RAM, tons of disk space, DSL 700K connection
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JAS.

Hi There,
Thanks a lot for reporting this issue. And I am sorry that you are hitting this issue while attending Lync meetings. Following details will help us diagnose it further -
1) Do you have Lync 2010 or Lync 2013 client installed on the machine?
2) Do you get this issue again and again when you join the meeting or it was one-off?
3) When you killed "Lync Web App" from task manager, was audio flowing through even after that? Were you still attending the meeting from the browser?
4) How much time did you wait when UI was showing "Loading" until you killed the Lync Web App from task manager?
Thanks.

Accessing Shared OneNote from Lync Web App

When attempting to access a OneNote that has been shared in a Lync Meeting via Lync Web App, users are taken to OneDrive in a separate browser window and get an error that they do not have permissions to access the notes or that the notes do not exist. Going
to OneDrive I understand since the OneNote notebook is hosted on OneDrive (instead of Sharepoint), but I don't understand the permission error.
How are Lync Web App users supposed to access shared OneNotes without the presenter granting individual permissions to the notebook? That method is too time consuming and not intuitive for end users.
Mac users rely on accessing OneNotes via Lync Web App and OneDrive (OneNote Online) since there isn't a OneNote client for Mac and most of the time they will be joining meetings via Lync Web App instead of the 2011 client.

It is not on Lync Web App side to control this behavior.
You need permission to access the shared OneNote on OneDrive.
You need to sign in even without Lync Web App.

Lync Web App no sound and couldn't see shared desktop

Hi,
Today I tried to join a scheduled meeting which I've done may times before without any problem.
I was let into the meeting but had no sound and couldn't see the shared presentation. I could see other participants and see typed messages. There was a button in the middle of the screen 'Participate in the sharing session by clicking Rejoin'
Clicking the button did nothing.
The options button was telling me I had no Audio device. I did and it works correctly.
I'm using Win 7 and IE 11 but I also tried on Firefox and had the same issue.
I noted that despite using the Lync App many times, when I joined the meeting the App was either missing or wanted to update and I let this happen.
Any ideas what may be the issue here?

Lync Web App default Prompt Audio Join

Is it Is there a way to force Web App to ask all users how they want to join audio? (Lync, dialin, Call me)
At the moment i'm having to have the user connect then go to settings set prompt me, then disconnect and reconnect seems a bit long winded.

This a huge weakness in an otherwise superb product! I have successfully convinced my management that we should cancel WebEx in favor of Lync for all but our Training and Event uses. However, there's no way I can ask even the friendliest of customers
to go through all the steps to enable this
very basic capability:
Log in for the first time
Don't forget to click the "Remember Me" box! (duh)
You will be dumped into the first meeting using your computer's audio.
NOTE: You will be muted, but your whole office will hear the rest of us talking until you complete steps 4 through 7.
Click "Options"
Click "Phones"
Make a selection on what you prefer for the future or prompt each time <--- this should be the default!!!!
Exit meeting
Close browser
Click the join link again
Now you can use your phone
This is utterly unacceptable. I realize Microsoft would like everyone on the planet to own a USB headset but that is simply not the case (yet) and to foist this default behavior on unsuspecting business contacts is just not an option. We will
be sticking with WebEx until this can be addressed.
Very disappointed - and not looking forward to the conversation I'll have with my boss on Monday.

External Meetings using Lync Web App vs Lync 2013 Desktop client

We have LYNC Server 2013 deployed on premise. Our clients are LYNC 2013. When someone external to our organization sends us a Lync meeting request we are able to connect with our Lync 2012 desktop client but only Audio is available. We cannot share
the desktop. If however we connect to the external meeting using the Lync Web App (by specifying
?sl=1 at the end of the meeting url) we are able to use all the services like audio, desktop sharing etc.
I've found the following articles that suggest that the desktop clients are not the preferred choice to connect to external meetings.
http://blog.schertz.name/2011/11/forcing-lync-web-app/
http://www.computer-talk.com/en/blog/item/attendees-cannot-join-your-lync-web-conference
Can anyone advise as to why the desktop clients are restrictive and if there is a fix and if not how can we force users to use the Lync Web App to connect to external meetings?
Our lync 2013 desktop clients use the following ports:

You should be fine using the full Lync client, it's not restricted by default. If there's an issue, it's typically in the networking related to your edge, or the edge of the organization you're federating with.
The reason the web client is preferred by many (not all, and that's not an official Microsoft stance), is simply that if everyone uses the web client, it's a consistent experience for the attendees and you don't have to worry about the status of attendee's Lync
environment or federation.
Can your external users share a desktop with internal users? Can they do it externally in a conference hosted by you? Can the remote organization share desktops with you when connected to your conferences? And in these conferences,
have the marked you as presenter so you can present your desktop?
There's no good way to automatically force users to use the web app each time unfortunately. The other organization would need to hardcode that ?sl=1 into each meeting invite sent.
