Jabber For Windows - Calender Integration Option on deployment

We're about to roll out Jabber for Windows to several hundred clients, and have an issue with the Outlook Integration option setting. Our users are migrating from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Outlook and once migrated to Outlook, will get Jabber for Windows. The problem we have is when installing Jabber for Windows, in many cases it takes IBM Lotus Notes as the default calendar integration, instead of Microsoft Outlook. (Notes is left on users pc as they still need to use Notes to access some backend databases)
We will have to issue intructions to users to go in to File>Otions>Integration and make sure Microsoft Outlook is selected, but past experience tells us they won't actually read them!
Does anyone know any way of setting on option on deployment to ensure Microsoft Outlook is selected ?
Thanks
Kelvin

Hi David,
there is an known issue where default MAPI file can't be opened on some PCs. To confirm this - we would need PRT from computer where issue can be reproduced.
If you still have same problem then create a problem report (Start menu > Cisco Jabber > Cisco Jabber Problem Report) and attach with this thread. If you are not comfortable to attach report here, then raise a TAC case for further assistance.

Jabber for Windows Call Voicemail Option Pulls Outlook Contact with Matching digits of VM Pilot

Running J4W 9.2.2 and when we use the "Call Voicemail" option (we use a 4-digit pilot number), if the end user has an outlook contact that the last 4 of the phone number matches it pulls the outlook contacts name up and displays it in the connected call. Anyone else seen this behaviour and f so is this a known issue and is there a workaround for this?
Thanks,
Ethan

I Ethan,
I have this problem too. There was a Bug (CSCud57201) identified for release 9.1 with this problem. The bug notes say it should be solved on 9.2 but I'm running the same version as you and having exactly the same last digits match problem

Jabber for Windows - without LDAP integrated with CUCM Jabber UDS - NO PEOPLE CAN SEARCH

Hi all Jabber Experts,
I have the CUCM, which is the versin 8.6 and the Presence Server, which is the version 8.6, that is not integrated the LDAP, but I want to deploy the Jabber for Windows.
So I would use the UDS to deploy the Jabber for Windows (modified the XML and uploaded to the CUCM TFTP server).
Finally, that can login the users, which is manually added from CUCM.
But I cannot search other users from the Bubby List. Any idea for that?

First of all, either you use CUCM 8.6 with CUPS 8.6, or you use CUCM 9.1 with IM&P 9.1, what you're mentioning is just impossible as they're not compatible and that's not supported.

Jabber for Windows On-Premises Deployment.

I´m deploying a solution of CUCM BE 8.6 with CUC 8.6 and CUPS 8.6. At this momento all is working on the CUCM and CUC. But i´m not sure if all is fine on the CUPS.
I have integrated all application whit an LDAP (Microsoft AD). Now I´m configuring Jabber for Windows and the users have IM and status monitoring (presence) working fine. But They need to have voice functionalities to make and recive calls.
I try to make call with jabber and using the pc to make call, but just can make calls; when some one try to call me, they receive a fast busy tone.
Then i tried to use jabber with an IP Communicator associated to the same user; and just in this scenario other users can call me.
The question is. On-premises deployments, jabber for windows requiere to have associated a desk phone or softphone to make and receive calls?, or i need to do some thing to give to jabber in self the ability de make and receive calls with out any other device associated?
Thanks.

Hi Chris, do you mean that in sofphone mode Jabber do no need the ip communicator to make an receive calls?
Becouse right now i have jabber and a CSF configured and associated to the user. But they can not receive calls, just can make calls.
Only when associate the ip communicator the user can receive calls.
Any idea of what could be happenning?
Thanks
Hello again,
I did some tests and a review of the configuration, but i can´t solve the issue.
the Users with jabber for windows can receive calls but they can not make if they do.
Only if they use an IP communicator associated to jabber client, they can make and receive calls
Must be jabber working by in self to make and receive calls, no matter if have or not associated a desk phone or softphone?
What do you think i need to verified?
I´m sending a file with screen shots to explain the issue.
thanks in advance

Jabber for Windows 9.2.2 Client - No Meetings on Options

We have an on prem deployment of CUPS 8.6.4 with Jabber for Windows clients. Everything is working as desired with the exception that we don't have the "Meetings" available under File > Options.
Here's what my jabber-config.xml file reads. Everything I see in the documentation, this should enable the Meetings Option, but it's not available.
<BEGIN CONFIG FILE>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
<Presence>
   <PresenceServerAddress>x.x.x.x</PresenceServerAddress>
   <PresenceServerDomain>xxxx.org</PresenceServerDomain>
</Presence>
<Directory>
   <PrimaryServerName>xxxx.xxxx.xxx</PrimaryServerName>
</Directory>
<Policies>
   <Meetings_Enabled>true</Meetings_Enabled>
</Policies>
<Options>
   <Start_Client_On_Start_OS>true</Start_Client_On_Start_OS>
   <ShowContactPictures>false</ShowContactPictures>
</Options>
</config>
<END CONFIG FILE>
Anyone have suggestions?

Hi Mark,
There was a known issue with missing meeting tab in pre-released version of 9.2.2:
CSCuh19703
Can you check exact version of your Jabber? (9.2.2.2526 should have this fixed )
Also please tell me from which config file is this snapshoot?

Jabber for Windows On Premise Webex Integration

Hi,
I just upgraded to 9.0.4 and am having an issue integrating Webex into Jabber. Our Webex meeting center site is SSO enabled. In jabber, when I attempt to setup my meetings account I get the below message:
I've tried clicking the edit button and specifying various forms of my domain credentials with no luck. I also see the below blurb in the jabber for windows environment configuration guide:
Does that message mean that Jabber does not support a SSO enabled Webex meeting center site?
Thanks,
Dave

That's correct, sorry.

Jabber for Windows - Outlook Meeting integration issue/questions

Hi,
A couple of questions if anyone else has experienced or can answer:
1. When you turn on Jabber it appears in the trace file to create a transitionlist of meetings in your calendar for the next four hours. Eg if meeting 8-9 it will show 8:00 BUSY
9:00 FREE
and this works ok. This transitionlist also seems to update each time a status change occurs from what I have observed.
The problem we seem to have is if I open Jabber at 7.45am and have a meeting 8 - 9 then it shows "In a meeting", then if I create a meeting at 9.15am for 10am-10.30am, the meeting status does not change as it seems to operate of the four hour transitionlist. I have the setting in the CUPS server for exchange sync to happen every twenty minutes, but this does not seem to update.
I'm be focussing on the wrong area but basically not all calendar appt's update status in Jabber, especially the one's created within the four hour pperiod.
2. To have the presence status of a person in an Outlook email address field, do you need 2010 or does it work with prior versions, we currently operate 2003. I have configured the SIP component in AD, but no status or click to call facility from Outlook.
Thanks in advance
Mal

Hi Mal,
Thanks for your post. Issue (1) sounds like a configuration issue in your setup. Please open a TAC case for further assistance.
Regarding (2), Jabber for windows does noot support Office 2003. List of supported MS Office applications is listed in Jabber for Windows administration guide.

Jabber for Windows 9.2 deskphone control issue

Hi experts,
I'm having a problem with the newly installed Jabber for Windows 9.2.0. When I click on the bottom right "control phone" and select my Cisco 7941 it fails. I tried restarting the Cisco CTIManager service with no luck.
Deployment:
IM&Presence: cloud (Webex service)
CUCM version: 8.6(2a)
LDAP integration: full (with authentication)
Deskphone control was working prior the upgrade of Jabber for Windows. Everything else remained the same version.
Using Jabber softphone as a client still works fine.
CUCM ENd User is correctly configured.
Wireshark trace of my Jabber for Windows 9.2 client communicating with CUCM when attempting to control my deskphone shows the following:
Username: filippo.zangheri
Password: checked three times (it is correct because Jabber softphone works fine).
Any hint?
Thanks.
Filippo

Davide,
I know i am kind of late to the party on this one but i have fixed my issue and wanted to give you the information to see if this will work for you. If this is even still an issue?
I too had the same issue and just like you i confirmed everything was correct however I discovered something when I was looking into my End User profile on the CUCM. I had originally swapped my 7971 phone with a new 8945 phone and I had both phones associated with my line for a while before I removed the old 7971.
My End User profile still had both phones associated with my number even though the 7971 phone had been removed from my line. This was not allowing the CTI to connect to my 8945 phone or allow my jabber client to "Control Phone" properly because it couldn't figure out which phone to control. I went into the CUCM and physically deleted the 7971 phone from the system which released the associated phone in my End User profile. Once I did that, I "Control Phone" in my Jabber client and voila it worked like a charm!
To make sure I didn't have any Jabber client issues after doing this i signed out of my Jabber client and deleted the local system profile for the Jabber client and then signed back into Jabber and let it recreate the profile. Once that was done i have not had any issues with my Jabber client controlling my phone and all functions work perfectly.
Hope this helps...

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 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 9.1 and WebEx Voicemail Tab

Guys
we are using both Jabber for Windows (9.1) and WebEx connect clients. both connect to WebEx cloud services. when we use WebEx connect we have all features including voicemail but when we use Jabber for Windows there isnt any voicemail option at all present.
both are doing phone integration and everything else is working fine.
Now when we do the same for our andriod tablets we have the option for voicemail.
i understand that there are several feature differences but based on the searches ive been doing, voicemail should be present and i havent actually seen anyone having this problem. Note, this is using WebEx not CUPS.
i know im probably missing something completely here.
thanks again

Do these users all have a conferencing profile assigned to them in CUCM (9.0) or CUPS (8.x)?

Erik

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 Client SDK

Is there an SDK for Cisco Jabber for Windows client? I could only find the Web SDK. Are there no other SDKs that would let me control features of the Jabber Windows Client?

And in order to avoid TAPI limitation, they say they have started using Jabber which controls all phone functionalities through an Application User connected to the Call Manager.
Assuming they are referring to the normal Jabber for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android applications then this is wrong. Jabber - the client, not the IM&P servers which are part of the CUCM cluster (if you're familiar with Lync consider CUCM+IM&P servers a Front End Pool) - do not use an Application User at all. When a user starts Jabber, assuming SAML SSO is off, they supply an email address. This is used to find the servers via DNS SRV records, or the Mobile and Remote Access Expressway (roughly analogous to a Lync Edge pool) to tunnel through the firewall. After the email address they are prompted for their End User username and password. This is then used to access several APIs on the server, namely the User Data Service to discover what the user has. This would include what the user has configured/available to them. After this is done the Jabber client does one of three things with respect to phone functionality:
If the user has no phone devices provisioned for them - physical or software - it becomes an IM&P client only.
If the user has a software phone phone provisioned, it registers as that using SIP. In this way Jabber is the actual phone. This is called a CSF device for Jabber Windows/OS X.
If the user has a desk phone assigned to their End User account AND administrative policy is to default to desk phone control, it registers to CTI Manager on the CUCM server to control the user's physical phone.
A user can toggle between option two and three, if appropriately provisioned, but cannot have both simultaneously. In other words, Jabber is either controlling a physical phone over CTI or is a phone itself using SIP. The difference is where the audio/video media is sent from/to.
All of this happens using that human's End User credentials.
Now, if you wanted to have a server control the user's phone - either a physical one or Jabber - you would use the TSP as an interface to CTI Manager on the CUCM server and receive real-time events (e.g. the user went off-hook, the phone is ringing with this caller ID, etc.) and issue commands to that phone (e.g. make a call to X). This is done using an Application User account because the server would need to do this for multiple users simultaneously. If you also use the Super Provider concept, the CUCM administrator doesn't have to take the extra step of associating every phone to your Application User manually. Instead, you can simply issue CTI subscriptions to see any/all device activity you want.
This is all assuming you wanted to do the integration server-side to avoid having to update the Cisco TSP application on every user PC (which also limits your WPF application to machines capable of running the TSP) every time the CUCM administrator patches the servers. If you don't care about that, then you can do this all client-side on the user's PC, and have them supply their End User credentials.
Of course, you could also reconsider the Jabber SDK and just embed the make/receive call functionality directly into your application instead.

Jabber for Windows- VM issue

I had configured Jabber for windows in windows 7, the problem is after logging into jabber client iam not able to get the "phone accounts" under options.
Iam able to call , and recieve calls but no voice mail. In the Jabber cleint diagnostic it shows username and password is wrong for voice mail.
If i have 'phone acounts' option in jabber client i could set username and password for voice mail. Iam able to telnet the unity server.
Any clue?
We have IM&Presence 9.0, CUCM 9.0
Jabber - 9.2
Tnx
Bobby

HI,
As Aron states - you can configure your client to use same login and password ID as other UC services. This will then mask the fields you see in your jabber client. This is great when you don't want your users to have to populate the fields. The less they have to do the better.
Check your Unity Connection system - is it AXL ot AD or neither ?
If you can, your better to use only one username / password across your UC environment. For now just check your setting for the VM service is not set .
