Lync 2010 Contact Card - Member Of

Hello
Does anyone know if the default contact card in Lync ever had a Member Of tab that showed the Outlook distribution groups? One of our end user's claims the contact card use to have this tab and it disappeared but I'm not sure if it was ever there. I know
the Outlook 2010 contact card has a Member Of tab.
Thanks,

Hi,
If Member of tab missing on Lync 2010 contact card, it may cause by administrator using group policy or the user changing values on Registry Editor.
If the user Outlook 2010 please check the value in his Registry Editor with the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\common\contactcard
If it is Outlook 2013:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\common\contactcard
Check the value below:
DWORD: TurnOffMemberOfTab
If the value set to 1, please change it to 0, restart Outlook and Lync client and test again.

Link to User's MySite on Lync 2013 Contact Card does not work

Hello,
we're running a sharepoint 2010 environment with a configured user profile service application and a mysite host. we're also running lync 2010 clients but are planning to upgrade to lync 2013. the it guys (including me) have already installed lync 2013 client.
the lync server is also already on 2013.
with the old 2010 lync client, it was possible to click on a name from a lync contact card and this directed to the users mysite, which was great. to archieve this, we updates the wwwHomepage attribute in AD with the corresponding link for each user to the
mysite.
now with lync 2013 it is no longer possible.
i couldn't find anything about this topic ...
any help would be highly appreciated
kind regards
Marco

I tested it in my lab.

Lync 2010 Contact List Organization And Standardization With Microsoft Outlook & Exchange

Hello All,
We are noticing some inconsistencies in regards to what’s being displayed in our Lync Contacts. When diving deeper into this, we noticed some users have modified "Full Name" field in Outlook contacts to names which they please then it replicates
onto Lync.
We would like to standardize our Lync contact list using lastname, firstname format but the only options right now I am aware of doing this is making sure users don't have local contacts saved in their Outlook which we have gone ahead
and globally disabled feature "Save my Lync contacts in my personal contacts folder on the Exchange server" to ensure up-to-date contact details are collected from the GAL.
Is there anything else the group can recommend, as its creating a bit of a nuisance with non-technical users?
Thanks in advance all!

Hi JayJayTech,
You can run the following command to prevent Lync searches the contact information from Outlook Contact folders.
Set-CsClientPolicy -Identy Global -ExcludedContactFolders "Contact;Contacts;Suggested Contacts,IPM.Contact"
Best regards,
Eric

Outlook 2010 Contact Card (View more options to interact with this person)

When I double click on a contact, and hover over their email address to "View more ways to interact with this person" - the box shows nothing. This is consistent with all of my contacts, and this is happening to every user at our site - I think
it might be GPO related?
Thanks for the help!
-Jerad

Hi Jerad,
I'm not sure if this issue is related to GPO, please try to open Outlook in safe mode to check if the problem is related to third-party add-in. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run box, type
outlook.exe /safe and press Enter.
If problem persists in Outlook safe mode, we can try to run a repair of your Office installation to check if it helps:

Please let me know the result.

Why can't I copy contacts' email address from their name card in lync 2010

so here is the issue I have, when I need to copy someone's email addresses or their phone numbers, normally I will find them on lync, move the cursor on them, and their name card will show up, then I move cursor to their email address or their phone numbers,
right click it, there will be an option to "copy", right? but sometimes, right clicking doesn't work. that copy option just won't pop up, this issue happens randomly, I need to restart lync, then it will work again. Also, there is one thing
that's weird, after I restart lync, whatever I have copied in the clipboard will disappear, like if I press ctrl+c to copy something from word, then this issue happened, I restart lync, I can copy information in lync name card again, but all that
content I copied does not exist in clipboard anymore, I press ctrl+v, there is nothing coming out.
this is not a big problem, but it's really annoying, does anyone know why this issue happen and how to permanently? I tried to reinstall, does not work.
this issues happens with both lync 2010 32 bit on 32 bit win7 and lync 2010 64 bit on win7 64 bit.

Hi,
Please try to delete Lync user profile and information in registry.
The path of Lync user profile: <user profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Communicator\
The path of Lync information in registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\[email protected]
Please also make sure Lync client update to the latest version.

Outlook 2010 contacts not showing phone number in Lync 2013 client

Hi,
We have Lync 2013 with Exchange 2010. Recently we started upgrading Lync clients from 2010 to 2013.
A few users started reporting that their local Outlook contacts does not show phone numbers in Lync 2013 (working with 2010)
I have installed the august patch which should solve this issue
981751 - Lync 2013 does not display telephone number of an Outlook 2010 contact in the contact card
Any idea where to look next?

Hi Tobias Borgen Nielsen,
Lync expects all the phone numbers to be in the E.164 format, meaning they should be +1-111-11111111 etc. If they’re not like this, you will have to normalize them if you want Lync
to publish them.

Lync 2013: missing tabs on contact card

I did some research on the web but I could quite find an answer, maybe I am the first one to experience this or I am just not clever enough.
We are using Lync Server 2013 and the the Lync 2013 client without an exchange server. The problem we are experiencing atm is that when we use outlook 2010 and lync client 2013, all users
have the organization tab on their contact card. All informations like phone e-mail address etc. are active directory informations. This configuration works just fine but if I change to outlook 2013 and lync client 2013, the organization tab automatically disappears
and the what's new tab shows up (this tab wasn't there before).
Actually I wouldn't mind the new tab but I'd like the organization tab back. Is it even possible without using an exchange server? I am just wondering why it is perfectly working between outlook 2012 and lync 2013 but is not when I use outlook and lync 2013.
I hope it is clear enough, if not, just ask please.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
The organization information was located directly over the IM, Call and video buttons of contact card in Lync 2013 client.

Lync 2013 Client Not Display Numbers in Contact Card

Hi
I have a problem where Lync 2013 client connecting to Lync 2010 backend appears not download the contact list completely. Lync 2010 clients are all operating normally. On Lync 2010 client, you can view all contact details including Enterprise Voice
numbers and cell numbers for all users. However on Lync 2013 clients, Lync contact details for some users do not populate completely. In most cases, Enterprise numbers/Work Numbers/Mobile Numbers are missing. If the contact is pinned then the details
are retrieved.
In cases where Work/Voice/Cell numbers are not displayed, affected users is limited to making lync to lync calls only. The user can still dial the number and get through without any issues.
I have deleted and contacts cache on Lync 2013 but this has not helped.
Regards

Hi,
How about check the contact of “Outlook Test” user from the Lync 2010 client?
According to the second screenshot, since it’s an external account, the information will be limited.

Lync Contacts not appearing in Lync 2010 after user is moved to Lync 2013

Good Morning,
Our company recently migrated all of our users to Lync 2013 from Lync 2010. Most of our clients are still running the Lync 2010 client on their workstations. There is an ongoing project where we are upgrading to Office 2013 as well.
When a user signs into Lync, clicks on their contacts, the list is blank. They see their frequent contacts and are able to search for people. Some people are able to manage their contacts through OWA 2013 since we have the integration in
place. If they try to add contacts in Lync, they receive the message:
Cannot Add, Remove or move contacts or groups at this time. Please try again later.
I have tried going into the %appdata%\Microsoft\communicator directory and deleting the .cache and .idx and opening Lync again and still they do not appear.
Found this article: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2757458?wa=wsignin1.0, but we cannot role people back to Lync 2010. So they will just have to live with it until they receive Lync 2013 and use OWA 2013 to manage them until their office
client is upgraded.

Hi BrianDougherty,
I’m not sure whether this is caused by UCS, but you can test it by disabling UCS for a test user.
Run the following command and then check the result.
New-CsUserServicesPolicy -Identity NoUCS -UcsAllowed $False
Grant-CsUserServicesPolicy –Identity “test user” –PolicyName NoUCS
Invoke-CsUcsRollback –Identity “test user”

Telephone numbers (officePhone and homePhone) are missing in a contact card in a Lync Server 2013-based Lync mobile client

In my opinion, the error has not completely fixed in KB2967628. After I install the latest November 2014 cumulative
update. I see the following behavior. User A searches for user B. User B never sign in to the Link. There are three fields in the active directory for User B: officePhone, mobilePhone and homePhone (these fields contain different numbers). When searching on
the mobile client (Android/IOS) for user B – as result user A see only mobile number. If User B At least once will go to Link (sign in) when his search will work, (find officePhone). If User B will change, the privacy settings for user A is in the search will
be displayed homePhone field.
On the Desktop client,
I can find all the fields without those actions performed in the example. If I make a request
to the service UCWA manually like this (below
the text) before
actions, which I performed in example, I did not receive officePhone and homePhone – only mobilePhone field.
GET "https://lync.domainname:443/ucwa/oauth/v1/applications/XXXX/people/search?query=$usename$&limit=200" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: $USENAMETOKEN$"

Hi,
Based on your description, I’m sorry I’m a little confused about the following you mentioned. I understand the issue is we can only see the mobile number in the contact card on Lync mobile client and that we can search for users based on their office number,
we can see the home phone field in the contact card but there isn’t number showing. I anything I have misunderstood, please feel free to let us know.
“When searching on the mobile client (Android/IOS) for user B – as result user A see only mobile number. If User B At least once will go to Link (sign in) when his search will work, (find officePhone). If User B will
change, the privacy settings for user A is in the search will be displayed homePhone field.”
According to the KB29677628, this issue is caused by UCWA only sending the work number, and we need to install the update for web components server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2967628/en-us
August 2014 Cumulative Update 5.0.8308.738 for Lync Server 2013, web components server
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2937297/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
Could you please run the following command to check if the web components server version is
5.0.8308.738?

–query 'select * from win32_product' | where {$_.name

Lync 2013 mobile client can't see all fields in contact card

We have deployed Lync 2013 infra in our organization, now we observed, mobile Lync client users are not able to see other users mobile number on contact card rest all information is visible.
Is there any workaround or fix to resolve this issue. Appreciate quick help.

That's effectively by design (but a popular complaint). The workaround is to put the users who's mobile numbers you need in your Outlook contact list. There's another workaround related to setting the privacy relationship, but you have to coordinate
it with many people which is not too feasible.
Here are others upset about it:

ABSCONFIG (enable INITIALS in Lync contact card)

Hi guys.
Is it possible to achieve showing INITIALS from ACTIVE DIRECTORY in Lync Contact Card with tool: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2013\ResKit\ABSConfig.exe?
If it is, how could we achieve that?
If it is, will Lync search box also be able to find person if you type their initials?
bostjanc

Hi,
I test to use ABSConfig tool in my Lync 2013 lab and I find it is impossible to complete the function of showing initials from AD in Lync Contact card with ABSConfig tool.
You may need to custom your own Lync client, you can post the question on MSDN Lync SDK forum and more developing expert will help to verify if this can be achieved using Lync SDK. Thank you for your understanding.

Lync User Phone Number Changed in AD - Still Showing Old (Normalized) Number Days Later in Lync Client Contact Detail

Environment: Lync 2013 backend; Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 clients. Enterprise Voice not implemented. November 2013 CU Applied on Server.
Issue: Lync user (User A) phone number changed in AD but still showing old number for others days later.
Believed Cause: User A has not logged into Lync since change to republish new phone number?
So after reading this http://masteringlync.com/ I am beginning to think that something I perceived as an issue may actually be by design?
Action:
User A work phone number changed in AD. User A has only one phone entry in AD. Normalization rule in place to basically leave number unchanged (working)
Result:
New phone number propogated fine to Exchange/Outlook fine. Old number displaying only in Lync client when viewing User A contact card detail
Lync 2010 Client displays only old number when looking at Client A contact detail (this client only presents phone numbers if they are actually normalized)
Lync 2013 Client displays two work numbers.
One that we identify as a "display number" just as entered in AD - this shows correctly as the new number. Another that we identify as the "normalized number" which is still the old
number (same as 2010 Client)
Same results whether contact is saved in Lync Client or not and is not related to Outlook contacts - in fact one test was with a Lync account that is not Mail Enabled.
I did a dbanalyze to view the SQL database detail for User A and see that Category 'userInformation' has the old phone number and the time stamp on it seems to coincide with a Lync Cllient database change (user login or refresh on that end) so this seems
to futher confirm my findings thus my reaching the point of conceding it might be out of my control.
My Question I guess is ....
Have others discovered this? Is this a bug or do normalized phone numbers actually requre a client login to accept/republish the number correctly to others even though the information is updated in AD? User detail and how it propogates seems to
be the biggest mystery and it gets harder and harder to explain to users why changes aren't displaying accuralely.

Thanks Richard... your blog definitely hit home with what I was seeing but guess I just didn't want to accept that as the end of the road on this. I'm still in a little misbelief that client interaction is necessary to update a backend change.
This process really makes phone numbers in Lync an unreliable source given a user will never know if it is it up to date. And the problem with Lync 2013 client is it shows both numbers in the client ... the address book one with the
updated AD numbers and the one the normalized AD one that the user has to login to republish. I now more fully understand the process but trying to explain that to users when they see different work numbers .. ugh.
Oh well, guess the important part is to understand the process so thanks again.
