Jabber for Windows 9.1.0 no contact lists are added

Hi,
We are using Jabber for Windows 9.1.0, we are surprised to see that contact list is empty. Do we need to manually add all the users? We have Presence server integrated with LDAP.
How can we add all the users to be appeared on contact list of all the users?
Regards
MAC

Did you configure the contact list in IM&P so that you had them when you logged in????
If not, yes, your contact list will be empty and you need to add the users manually.

Jabber for Windows 9.2.5 Local Contacts

Hi Guys,
     By default, Jabber for Windows 9.2.5, when searching for contacts, it first lists the local Outlook contacts, and then it shows the list of Corportate Directory Contacts.
     Is there a way to show only LDAP contacts?? I don't want the list of local contacts to be available.
Best Regards,

In jabber 9.2 you should be able to change this behavior from the client as well.

Local Contacts in Microsoft Outlook
Cisco Jabber for Windows lets users search for and add local contacts in Microsoft Outlook.
To search for local contacts in Microsoft Outlook with the client, users must have profiles set in Microsoft Outlook. In addition, users must do the following:
    Select File > Options.
    Select the Integration tab.
    Select either None or Microsoft Outlook.
To add local Microsoft Outlook contacts to contact lists in the client, local contacts must have instant message addresses in Microsoft Outlook.
To show contact photos in the client interface, local contacts in Microsoft Outlook must have instant message addresses.
To communicate with local contacts in Microsoft Outlook using the client, local contacts must have the relevant details. To send instant messages to contacts, local contacts must have an instant message address. To call contacts in Microsoft Outlook, local contacts must have phone numbers.
An additional step if needed. If you add this line to the XML and the Outlook contacts still show, you may want to delete the cache in order to remove locally cached contacts.
This cache can be found under:
%USER_PROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\
Hope this helps as well!

Cisco Jabber for Windows - Anti-Virus Software

Hello,
Cisco Jabber for Windows could not resolve outlook contacts, when a client has installed McAffee Anti-Virus Software.
Is there any documentation available, how to setup a Anti-Virus Software, to get Cisco Jabber for Windows running?
Cisco Jabber for Windows Version 9.2.4 Build 4528
Outlook 2013
Thanks
Alex

this is all what we mention about antivirus; http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/jabber/Windows/9_2/JABW_BK_J6915A59_00_jabber-windows-server-setup/JABW_BK_J6915A59_00_jabber-windows-server-setup_chapter_00.html
Some antivirus or firewall applications, such as Symantec EndPoint Protection, block inbound CDP packets, which disables desk phone video capabilities. You should configure your antivirus or firewall application to allow inbound CDP packets. See the following Symantec technical document for additional details about this issue: Cisco IP Phone version 7970 and Cisco Unified Video Advantage is Blocked by Network Threat Protection.
with that being said; we probably would like to get the jabber process excluded from the antivirus list so that it allows for inbound MAPI communication as that is what is used for quering for the outlook contact.
The only process that ever runs from Jabber for windows is "CiscoJabber.exe" which is located in the following path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber
i hope this helps.

Jabber for Windows and Ldap Contacts without CUPC license

Dear Sr:
It is possible to add a user on ldap as a jabber contact WITHOUT assigning a CUPC license to the user?
The idea is that some users on the ldap don't have jabber but we should be able to add them as a contact AND we dont want to use jabber licenses for those users or have Presence server to load balance those users.
We can add Microsoft contact as jabber contact with no issues...
Thanks

LDAP Authentication of End Users in CUCM is strongly recommended for CUPC/Jabber. When you login to CUPC/Jabber it authenticates against CUCM. If LDAP doesn't have the same password (i.e. CUCM isn't synced from LDAP) the client won't be able to do LDAP queries if using BDI. This is because it re-uses the same credentials when it attempts to bind to LDAP. If Jabber is configured for EDI, which is only even possible on Jabber for Windows running on domain-joined workstations, then this is not as critical since it would use the Windows ADSI API in the context of the logged-in user. Using EDI exclusively would rule out Jabber for Mac, iOS, Android, and Windows on a non-domain joined workstation though.
As for usernames: You can continue to use employeeNumber if you wish. You'll need to ensure that the jabber-config.xml file maps the username to this value for everything to work. Note that this will be their XMPP URI: [email protected] so be sure that you're comfortable with employee numbers being public.

Jabber for Windows 9.1 external contact adding

I have a Jabber for Windows 9.1 deployment, and I can't add external contacts. The external contacts in this case are on a federated OCS deployment with the same LDAP. If I add them in the user options page and restart they work fine. My LDAP searches only return the local jabber domain directory.
Anyway, a quick look around shows me that adding external contacts in Jabber 9.0 was not supported, but it was supposed to be added in 9.1. Is this not the case?

Yeah the problem is that that will add the local jabber IM address rather than the LDAP one since the user exists in both directories.
e.g. jabber domain = tst.local
OCS = test.com
if you add the [email protected] as a contact then it will replace it with [email protected]
If you add [email protected] in the user options page and restart jabber it works
edit: anyone know how to unmark a reply as the correct answer, accidentally clicked on that instead of reply

Jabber for Windows contact card mapping to Work field

Hi All
In Jabber for Windows 9.7, the fields that sync from AD display in the contact card as Work: multiple times, I am trying to undewrstand how it determines to call the field Work as we get multiple entries as follows
Chat (IM Address):  username@domain (this is because user id + domain is different to the email)
Email:                      email address
Work:                       email address (which I believe is Directory URI)
Work:                       telephoneNumber
Work:                       IpPhone
This isnt very user friendly is there any way this can be changed, I know the Jabber-config.xml file does not have this work field as a mapping.
Kind Regards
Nick

I believe that mapping is businessphone

Jabber for Windows 10.5 shows contacts from Address Book multiple times?

What would cause Jabber for Windows 10.5.1 to show a contact multiple times from the address book when searching? See attached screenshot.

I tried removing firefox and rebooting/reinstalling Jabber with no luck. I reimaged my machine and loaded 10.5.2 fresh install with no previous versions and still getting the random crash. Also, I have users who say it has crashed on them during a WebEx and have had installation problems when upgrading from 9.x to 10.5.x. Version 9 is very solid, sticking with 9.7.5. I have about 10% of my test users having varying problems with version 10.5.x, waiting till the next release. Hopefully Cisco will spend a few more weeks testing the next one before publishing it on their site.
--edit--
Also, when you finally get frustrated and want to downgrade, Jabber 10.5.x doesn't uninstall completely and you end up with an error like the image attached when you try to install v9.7.5 for example and can't install Jabber even after rebooting. I had to run Microsoft Fix It install/Uninstall option and tell it to uninstall Jabber before Windows allowed me to install an older version of Jabber. Not too happy with this release. Strange enough though, some of my users have the exact same laptop I do, same windows build, same patches, etc, and it works fine for them. Anyway, not deploying this one. Good luck.

Jabber for Windows 9.2.1 Contact Away status doesn't show duration

.Jabber for Windows 9.2.1 Contact "Away" status doesn't show duration. I am wondereing if it is possible with Cisco Jabber client. Microsoft OCS client used to show.

Hi,
This is currently not supported in Jabber.
If you think that this feature should be in Jabber, you can open a TAC case and do Enchancment request with them?

Cisco Jabber for Windows 10.5 search Contact with two lastnames

Hey Guys,
I have a little problem with the contact search feature of the cisco jabber for windows (Version 10.5.37889)
In my environment I have some Users (secretary phones and users too) which have two lastnames.
Exampleuser1: Firstname: Thomas Lastname: Meier Cisco ....
If a user is searching for Exampleuser1 by lastname (Cisco) the correct contact won't be listed
If a user is searching for Exampleuser1 by firstname (Thomas) the correct contact will be listed
If a user is searching for Exampleuser1 by lastname (Meier) the correct contact will be listed
is there a workaround or something else for resolving my problem?
thanks for reading my question :)

Workaround: "Cisco Meier, Thomas"
Have you looked at enabling wild card searches in jabber-config.xml?

How to create contact groups in Jabber for Windows

Attempting to deploy Jabber for Windows. I can't find where in CUPS to build the contact groups that will deploy to the users. We are wanting to build our groups by our locations and deploy them from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Darren,
With CUPS 8.6(1), you can import users contact lists and as well create groups via the bulk administration page of CUPS.
This is outlined in the deployment guide below:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cups/8_6/english/install_upgrade/deployment/guide/dgcupc.html#wp1292041
Keep in mind, this functionality is only available in CUPS 8.6(1) or higher and not in any older version.

Jas

Jabber for Windows Call popup photo

We have a Jabber for windows deployment currently running in our lab environment. In the buddy list we have the contacts with their photo. When we start a call or receive a call a call popup screen appears. In this screen the photo of the called person i not displayed..
Is this possible? If i look at the pictures cisco provides there is always a photo of the caller.

Hi,
This is very common scenario in case the number to contact resolution does not work. You need to create directory lookup rules to modify the incoming number so that it matches the number configured for the contact in question.
Here's an example
You have a contract named John Doe with a DN configured in AD as 101. The contact has an avatar.
You get an incoming call from John Doe but the incoming number is 9101.
This will result in the avatar not being displayed for a contact because number 9101 does not match the contact's configured DN.
So in summary you need to use Directory Lookup Rules and/or Application Dial Rules

Jabber for Windows 10.6.1 Problem: Chat History sporadically empty

Hi,
we have Jabber for Windows 10.6.1 running on Win 7 64bit Machines. We have the Problem that sporadically the Chat History windows is empty. If this happens, I cannot see my incoming chats (but I can hear Audio that a IM just arrived) and I also cannot see IM Messages I sent out. Also no Screencaptures can be seen in the Chat-History. I also cannot rightclick into the Chat History window to print or save the Chat. Whenever I restart Jabber (not just logging off), it is working again for a couple of time!
Please Cisco help me out. I cannot find a open Bug in the current Release Notes.
Regards
Rene

Hello Scott,
thanks for your answer! We don't have IE11 installed, so we don't have this MS Patch on our systems :-(
I am going to look deeper into this,... maybe another MS Patch. Also have to contact TAC.
Thanks.

Jabber for Windows 10.5.1 not working without elevated permissions

Customer starts Jabber for Windows 10.5.1 and gets a pop-up about CiscoJabber.exe, wbxcOIEx.exe, and wbxcOIEx64 and to contact WebEx support. It appears these components are talking to Outlook. Show connection status under Outlook we see a mapi connection error with a code 0x80080005 that goes back to permissions error.
Users are not local administrators running Windows 7. Jabber was packaged using LanDesk and deployed to PC and installed with admin rights.
Workaround was to grant elevated permissions to Jabber folder that had CiscoJabber.exe, wbxcOIEx.exe, and wbxcOIEx64.
see attached screenshot.
TAC Case 632162203 sent issue to BU for escalation, meanwhile customer elevated that folder permissions

@ richard Beck good answer your answer is right

Jabber for Windows / iPhone - issue with photo and search

Dear community,
I have an issue regarding Cisco Jabber for Windows as well as iPhone & iPad.
I recently upgraded our Call Manager infrastructure from 8.6.5 to 10.0. Along with that, I wanted to rollout the new Jabber for Windows (9.7.2) because now we use a very old version (9.2.1).
After I upgraded my test client, I noticed that the user photos (which are retrieved from active directory) were gone.
So for the first time, I decided to modify the the jabber-config.xml (I attatched the two different versions).
I used the jabber config generator to create the new version: https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/106926/jabber-config-file-generator
My attempt is to achive these goals:
1) I want one config file which is working with Jabber for Windows, iPhone & iPad, Android as well as Jabber for Mac
2) I want a secure connection from the client to our directory server
3) I want to retrieve the user photos from the active directory user (attribute thumbnailPhoto)
4) Jabber should find only users which are a member of the active directory group "example" (example is a nested group which contains several users and at least _one_ other group). Until now, the whole active directory was searched for users/contacts.
So far, 1) and 2) seems to work fine. 3) and 4) are the troublemakers and I really don't no why.
Can somebody help me?
Best regards,
René

Look at this thread. You can find the answer there.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12241391/ldap-contacts-and-photos-jabber-ipad-iphone-and-android-not-working
First I had to uncheck "Use UDS for Contact Resolution" and then I had to create a new jabber-config.xml and upload it to the TFTP server.
But there are a few limitations you have to deal with. But I have mentioned that in the other thread.
