Interesting Lync client "Bug" with Timezones with Fix.

Running Lync Client v4.0.7577.4087
User called stating he was unable to log into Lync and was getting a message about the Clock on his PC being wrong.   He verified his time was correct but continued to get the error.
I looked at the machine, he lived 1 timezone behind that of the Lync servers and his TZ was set correctly.   His time and date was correct based on his location.   However the "Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings" was not checked.
Somehow I got the feeling to check that box, which then skewed his time up +1 hours.   I then re-adjusted his time to the correct time for his timezone and he was able to log in.
I'm not sure why this happened.   Because VISUALLY his time was correct for his selected TZ originally.

Lync communication based on MTLS hence time synchronization should be correct as per the home poll. Due to the Daylight saving this was common error which was solved by changing the timezone.

Disable auto sign in at start-up for Lync client 2013

Hi,
I want to stop the Lync client from signing in automatically at start-up.
Is there a way to do so?
We are using Lync client 2013.
Thanks in advance

Not as far as I am aware (at least on a PC that the user is logged onto their domain account with) . The only option you have is to stop the Lync client from starting up with Windows (see here - explains both options dialog and reg key http://blogs.technet.com/b/rischwen/archive/2013/06/20/lync-2013-client-auto-start-registry-key.aspx)
If it's a shared PC, you can try this: http://allunifiedcom.wordpress.com/2012/04/12/prevent-lync-from-auto-saving-of-credentials-e-g-multi-user-pc/

Hi,
Did the issue happen only for you or for multiple users?
You can try to logon other Lync client on other computer with your Lync account as a test.
It may cause by the conflicts between the Lync client and some drivers or some third party programs installed on the computer.
Please check if you install Bluetooth utility on your computer? If yes, please remove it and test the issue again.
Please also run Clean Boot to disable thirty party services and then test again:

VVX handset initiated call will not connect to Lync client with simultaneous ring enabled

Has anyone encountered a similar issue? And any advice on how to fix it please? (note - a case has been logged with Polycom, but weeks are passing by and they have not provided any useful response so far; hence reaching out in
the community for help) .... thanks in anticipation.
Here's the scenario:
A Lync 2010 user in the office (I'll call her Lisa) has setup her Sim Ring to an external number (her mobile number).
Another Lync 2010 user in the office (Mike) calls Lisa's extension from his VVX410.
Lisa answers the incoming call using her Lync client with a USB headset.
The call appears to connect according to Mike and his VVX screen starts the call timer.
Lisa's Lync client just says "Connecting Call ..." but never actually connects.
The line is silent for both Mike and Lisa. There is no audio in either direction.
Further testing reveals the following:
The same problem occurs if Lisa uses a VVX handset to answer and also happens if she uses a CX600 handset to answer. Hence the problem seems to relate specifically to the fact that Lisa has setup Sim Ring to an external number; rather than relating
to the answering device type.
If Lisa changes her Sim Ring so that it calls another internal extension, then the problem does not exist, i.e. calls connect fine. Hence it seems to be specific to sim ring to an external number.
The environment is Lync Server 2010 CU6, Lync client 2010 on Win 7 (although the same problem exists when tested with a Lync 2013 on Win 8.1 client); and with AudioCodes Mediant 2000 and 1000 gateways.

Please specify another external number for Simultaneously Ring.
You phone may not have permission to dial an external phone number.
Please check if you can call the external phone number directly.

Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

Okay, Even if i remove the scene numbers from Story and export the file to Final Draft 8. The format in incorrect. The "transitions" ex. CUT TO: are not in the correct allignment. Also there are numbers on each of the dialogues
Pretty much alot of the formatting is not the same. Spaces that break dialouge and action which are there in Story, are not converted over to Final Draft.
Please fix this as soon as possible.
thanks,

Hi,
Did you meet any other call delay when you using Lync?
As the issue happen for Lync desktop client, it can be performance issue. Please check if there is any error message from FE Server when the issue happen.
Also please check if you have updated Lync Server to the latest version, if not, update it and then test again.

Lync Client uses wrong RTP Ports for calls from/to RGS with Agent Anonymity

We have QoS implemented and client ports for audio, video und application defined by Set-CsConferencingConfiguration. We also use firewalls in our LAN between the different VLANs for Clients, Servers and Gateways/SBC. Only RTP from the client with the defined
ports are allowed by the firewall. Media ByPass is enabled.
In all normal cases, the right ports will be used and marked by GPO with the right DSCP value. But if an agent get a call from a RGS which has agent anonymity enabled, the client uses a port in the range 1024-65535 for audio. Also if you make a call on behalf
of the RGS, the client use a random port between 1024-65535. As soon, as the source of the call is in another VLAN (e.g. a call from PSTN which comes in over a SBC in e separate VLAN), the firewall between the two VLANs block the RTP traffic.
We see the deny on the firewall log and in the SBC log we see, the reinvite for the media by pass with the IP of the agent and a not valid port. We also see, that no RTP from the client/agent will arrive the SBC and no RTP from the SBC will arrive the client/agent.
So the call will be disconnected, as soon as an agent wants accept the call.
Is there an additional setting to make sure, the Lync client always use the valid RTP port range?
This behavior exist in Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 clients.

Hi Holger,
Thanks for reply!
Sure! I set all AudioPorts on all Services, but the problem are not the ports used by the server, the problem are the ports used by the client. We set the client ports to 49152 with a count of 40. The client (2013 and also 2010) use these ports correctly in all
cases exept for call from/on behalf of an RGS with Agent Anonymity.
If we disable the RGS agent anonymity, restart the client of the agent, then the client uses also the correct source ports for RTP.
I've checked this behaviour now on 3 customer installations, our own productive installation and in our lab.
Because until now only one of our customers have firewalls between the internal VLANs, only this single customer have the issues...

Stephan

Latest Lync Client with latest update in one setup file

Hello,
We are building application using Lync SDK and we want to ship the Lync Client in our setup:
so we added the lync 2013 client found here to
our setup and its size 290 mb
after we faced some problems we ended up to install the update found here and
its size 86 mb
this makes the setup size bigger so our question is:
Where we can find the latest Lync 2013 client with latest update files included instead of adding
a new update files to the setup?

Lync 2013 client setup is part of the Office setup program on the installation media.
Lync 2013 Basic is a downloadable client for customers who have a licensed, on-premises Lync Server 2013 deployment and customers who subscribe to a Microsoft Office 365 plan that does not include
the full Lync 2013 client.

Uploading photo from Lync client with Exchange 2010

We are using Lync 2013 standard edition with Exchange 2010 in our environment.
In the client, if we go to Tools -> Options -> My Picture, the option to "Edit or Remove Picture" is greyed out.
I understand this is only available if we're on Exchange 2013, but someone somewhere must have figured out a workaround for this? Anyone know a reg-hack or 3rd party tool that would enable this feature?
I realize there is a method to turn back on the "Show a picture from a website" via powershell. I have already done this in our environment. However it is quite unrealistic to expect general populace to know how to resize a picture to less than
30kb (?!) and upload it "somewhere" on the web. Understandably this would be a nightmare for Help Desk having to help people resize their photos and find somewhere to upload it to.
Any help/ideas would be appreciated!

You could centrally upload profile photos for your users into the AD's thumbnailPhoto attribute using...
powershell:
http://blogs.technet.com/upload-picture
3rd party software:
http://www.codetwo.com/freeware/active-directory-photos/
http://www.cjwdev.co.uk/Software/ADPhotoEdit/Info.html
Lync client side upload into Exchange 2010 will not be possible as Exchange 2013 introduced HD photo and storing photos in the mailbox. Take a look at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj688150.aspx

Lync 2013 client deployment via SCCM with silent uninstall of Communicator / Live Meeting / Plugin

Hi
We are rolling out Lync 2013 across our org to many remote sites and are wondering the best approach for this.
We hope to leverage our SCCM, but so far we've only been installing Lync manually in our local test group.
I noticed that when installing Lync, it doesn't remove Communicator, Live Meeting, or the Live Meeting plugin for Outlook though.
Ideally, we would want to be able to push Lync 2013 client (standalone version, not Office 2013 Suite) via SCCM as well as uninstall Communicator 2007 R2, Live Meeting 2007 and Conferencing Add-in for Microsoft Office Outlook, all silently. Whether this
can be done while the user is logged in and using Outlook/Communicator, I am unsure (probably not), so doing this overnight with users logged off but machines on would probably work best.
Is there any documentation / guides from MS or other blog sites that have gone through this same process? From the searching I've done, it doesn't seem to be too common for a large deployment / jump from OCS 2007 to Lync 2013 on-premise.

Hi,
refer to this article it might help

External Lync clients can't join meetings - get kicked out with "You have left the call"

My users connecting remotely (ie. from home) from their Lync clients installed on their PC are unable to join any meetings. It tries to connect, but then gives the status "You have left the call."
Internally (ie. in the office) it works fine. Additionally, the Lync Web App clients also works fine, internally and externally.
Some details on my enviroment:
Edge - Lync 2013
Front End Pools - one 2010 Enterprise (albeit one server), one 2013 Enterprise (two servers)
A standalone Lync 2010 A/V server exists as well.
Meet and dialup records internally point to 2010 pool. Externally, they point to 2013 access edge.
SRV records on external DNS are _sip._tls 443 and _sipfederationtls._tcp 5061, both point to access edge.
SRV records on internal DNS are _sipinternaltls._tcp 5061 to sip (which is an "A" record with IP for 2013 FE pool), and _sip._tls 5061 to access (which is an "A" record with the internal IP of the edge server).
Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Can external Lync user make an audio call to an
external user?
Your problem is mostly related with Lync Edge Server.
Check Lync Server Audio/Video Edge service is started.
Please use Remote Connectivity Analyzer to perform Audio/Video server connectivity test:
https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/
Please check if you can find error in event log on Lync Edge Server.
Check the required ports are opened, for details, check

' ' bug with WebService not fixed in beta2

Hi,
There was a very popular bug in Flex3 with double escape, resulting in getting '<' instead of '<'
when using WebService, see bugs SDK-18321, SDK-15031, SDK-19811.
That was fixed in SDK 3.5
I just hit it with AIR2 beta2 app, same scenario.
When does Adobe plan to fix it with Flex4 ?
Any workarounds in Flex4 in the meantime ?
Thank you,
Oleg.

Yes, same thing here. Takes ages to lower to infinity.
Wish it would be as fast as this:
Create four nodes, open the Automation Event List (Ctrl Cmd E), change the second value to 0 (instead of 90) and hey presto, it gets very quiet indeed.

User sip folder have many .cache files with 4kb and the folder is becoming full and Lync Client stops working

User sip folder have manu Mailitem&username&.cache files until folder is full and Lync client stops working.

Hi,
You can try to change the Lync Profile name. After you do it, Lync will create a new Profile. The Lync Profile path is following:
%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync
If the issue persists, please repair Office 2013 and then test again.
