Lync 2010 Menu Option in HTC One V

I am using Lync 2010 with HTC One V (Andriod 4.0). Although application is working fine but not able to Sign Out and Search contacts. As per the design of HTC One V it doesn't have Menu option to access Search and Sign Out Options. Please advise.
Thanks

Hi,
Please download the latest version of Lync 2010 and install it again. Please check if it is the cause the Mobile can not show all the lync client interface and menu.

LYNC 2010 : Steps to migrate from one pool to another pool

Hi,
We have LYNC 2010 deployed in 2 site (sit1 & Site2)
Currently all user host on Site1 pool. CMS exist in Site1
we have also mediation role and EDGE role on both site.
we have dial in conference on site1.
Currently public DNS record (for edge and as for reverse proxy) point to Site1.
Certificate Authority for site 1 and and site2 is different. However SAN entries and subject name is same for all certificate and bot CA are public CA.
We have to move all users to site2 pool and will also move CMS to site2 and we have to decommission site1.
What is the step by step process to move users, CMS, Edge server Traffic and Mediation server, reverse proxy?
Thanks

Hi,
The migration process from one pool to another pool is similar for from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013.
You can refer to the link below of “Migration from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013”

Managing "Access Levels" on a domain level from Lync 2010 client

Hello,
Our company moved from Office Communicator 2007 R2 clients to Lync 2010 clients.
Previously in Office Communicator 2007 R2 client, it was possible to set default Access Levels for complete domains (instead of individual users only), using the Access Level Management view.
In the Lync 2010 this options seems to be missing. The management options per user are still there (by right-clicking a user), but the access to manage it for a domain is no longer visible.
Is there any way to manage Access Levels for domains, in a similar way we had in Communicator 2007? It appears that Lync 2010 stilluses the Access Levels set previously for domains, but users do no longer have any possibility to make further updates,
and are stuck (from their perspective at least) with the settings made in 2007 before.
Thanks.

Lync 2010 doesn’t have the feature natively.
With Lync Server 2010, by default, the contacts from federated domains are added as External Contacts.

Upgraded MS Office 2010 to 2013, how do I get the pdf menu option in Word, Excel, etc - Using Acrobat X

Hi
Have just upgraded from MS Office 2010 to Office 2013.
Have lost the menu option "Acrobat" for creating pdfs (using Acrobat X).
How to I get it back?
Cheers

uninstall acrobat, clean (Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs) and reinstall acrobat.

Is there a Button menu option that will allow one view the names of all the buttons already created?

Is there a Button menu option in InDesign CS 5.5 that will allow one view the names of all the buttons already created?

Thanks for your prompt feedback! However, this option does not work for me -- and I'm not sure exactly why.
Originally, when I tried your suggestion, I got the unsatisfactory result illustrated in the following help request: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/758172
Now I am in the process of testing several new add-ons to fix this problem, and I am getting a very different (and even more unsatisfying) result illustrated in the attached image -- so I realize the problem may now be compounded by one or more of the new add-ons.
(See the attached image that illustrates what happens now when I click on the MyDocs URL after is has been added to my Bookmarks tree.)
UPDATE: I'm going to try the LocalLinks add-on to see if this will help me open local links using my FireFox bookmarks: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/locallink/
Will let you know if it works....

Call Pickup - Users experience One Way Audio when using Call Pickup Orbit to pickup internal calls with internal Lync 2010 Callers

Hi
Noticed an issue where when using Call Park Function with users you receive one way audio when answering the call
The scenario is
1) If a user is internal and is homed on Lync 2010 Pool and calls an internal user who is homed on a Lync 2013 Pool and another internal user homed on a Lync 2013 Pool picks up the call with Call Pick Up orbit, Lync 2010 users only hears one way audio and
same for user who has picked up call
2) If the scenario is an External PSTN call or another Lync 2013 user these calls are fine
In Lync Tracing logs a SIP/2.0 481 Call Leg/Transaction Does Not Exist error is returned
Is this a known bug or expected behavior - Call Pickup is basically useless until all users are migrated to Lync 2013 as there is no way of a user knowing whether call is internal or external and if the user is on Lync 2010 or 2013, obviously in my
large organization 2000 users no an overnight thing
Coupled with the fact no Team Call Group\ Simultaneous Ring can be in place for Call Pickup to work im thinking Call Pick Up is not going to happen for awhile
Is there any fixes\ developments that may help this issue or is there a setting I am missing

Hi,
Please install latest update for Lync Server 2010 and 2013.

Lync Moble not joining meetings on Android HTC One S

Does anyone know if the HTC One S is incompatible with Lync Mobile? I can initiate calls to my Lync contacts and the Lync server will call my phone but i cannot get the same functionality when joining a meeting.
Thanks!

I have the same issue going on and when I send the logs and attempt to extract them I get "unsupported compression method” - meaning I cannot see what may be in the logs
so I cannot post them in this forum.
Another thing worth mentioning, is 1-click meeting join used to work on my Android phone so somewhere along the line within the last 2 months something has changed. I too have
uninstalled and re-installed the Lync app. Lync works fine by itself, calendar works fine by itself but when I click on the lync meeting join it no longer auto joins and calls me.
I testing this on another person's phone (the same phone model, same android version, same lync app version) and was able to use the 1-click meeting join successfully.
Our Lync admin has no idea what to look for and I'm out of ideas of what to chase on my phone as well.
Please help.

My HTC One received a software update yesterday, and it wiped out most of the theme and live wallpaper options. How do I get the previous options back?

This was NOT an update, rather a downgrade... the font size in text messages is now smaller and difficult to read. I have tried changing font size in settings and it does not apply to text messages. The lock/unlock screen pattern now reminds me of drawing a stick figure. My vehicle is now having problems with Bluetooth importation of my phone book--I keep receiving an on screen error message as it tries to continuously reattempt to import... And yes, the live weather wallpaper i favored is no longer an option... Why?

Lync 2010 Cleint will not start on one Windows XP Client

We have on Windows XP (SP3) Client and on this Client lync 2010 with the actaul CU6 will not start.
No entry in the eventlog or any other errors.
Deinstall, restart, install, restart does not help.
Has anyone had the same issue on one Windows Xp client?
regards Holger Technical Specialist UC

Hi
Can you login with a different account and test it? exit the lync client:
Also go to the %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Communicator folder (this is for windows 7 but you get where i am going) and remove the contents (sip) folder and then try login again.

Lync 2013 multitenant hosting pack and lync 2010 on-prem - coexistence options, alternative migration scenarios

In post http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/8a22eed7-cc63-4f9e-b422-3c5a57fb32b0/lync-2013-multitenant-pack-and-lync-2010?forum=lyncdeploy , which was already answered, the answer is no, you cannot migrate from 2010 on-prem. to lync 2013
hosted pack.
Trying to get my head around #1 -why, and #2 -what other alternatives are available.
Lisa answered that there can only be 1 CMS per forest. Is it one CMS per forest, or
one CMS per front end pool in a forest? Meaning you can have different CMS pools. If that were true, we could migrate users to a different front end pool in a coexistence scenario between 2010 on-prem to 2013 hosted pack.
Has anyone done this?
This is tough. I guess a cutover then from 2010 to 2013 multitenant hosted pack would be what?
1. Uninstall 2010, decommission users, decom environment/servers.
2. Fresh install in same AD environment of 2013 hosted pack.
That's tough for our users to make such a transition and have potentially days of downtime.
Is there no other way to do this?

It is one CMS per forest.
There is no official guide to move from Microsoft Lync Server to Microsoft Lync Server Multitenant Hosting Pack.

For Your Consideration: Ultimate Lync 2010 client install with SCCM 2007

While the subject of my post may be very presumptuous, I submit the following for your consideration to answer the often-asked question about how to deploy Lync 2010 client with SCCM.
Background:
I cannot understand why Microsoft made the Lync install so darned confusing, complex, and convoluted.
After our Lync 2010 FE server was up and running and all users migrated off our OCS server to the Lync environment, I spent about a month and a half trying to figure out how to:
1. Uninstall the OCS 2007 R2 client
2. Install all prerequisites for the Lync client
3. Install Lync on all user workstations silently.
While researching this, the simple answer I kept seeing given to this question was, "just use the .exe with the right switches according to the TechNet article here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg425733.aspx". Well, my response is, I
tried that and while the program installed itself correctly pushed through SCCM, because I was doing it using an administrative account (i.e. the SYSTEM account) due to our users not having admin rights, when the install was done, Lync would automatically
start up, but in the SYSTEM context so that the user couldn't see it was running, they go to run it and it won't run for them. I was unable to find any switch or option to prevent the automatic launch. I suppose the simple solution to that would
be to have the user reboot, but that's unnecessarily disruptive and was contrary to the desire to make this a silent install.
The next simplest answer I saw was, "extract the MSI and use that with the right switches". Problem with that is that the MSI by itself doesn't remove the OCS client or install the prerequisites, and also either requires a registry change to even allow
the MSI to be used or a hacked MSI that bypasses the registry key check. I tried to put a package together to uninstall OCS, install the prereqs, and use a hacked MSI, but I never could get the MSI hacked properly. The other problem I ran into
was detecting if the OCS client was running in a predictable way so I could terminate it, properly uninstall it, and then do the rest of the installations. It was this problem that ultimately led me to the solution that I'm about to detail and that has
worked marvellously for us.
Solution:
As I said before, when I first looked at this problem, I started by building a typical software deployment package (Computer Management -> Software Distribution -> Packages) and then created the programs to do the install. My first attempt was
just with the .exe file provided as-is by Microsoft using the switches they document in the link above for IT-Managed Installation of Lync, and...well, the end result wasn't quite as desirable as hoped. So, my next attempt was to extract all the prerequisite
files and the Lync install MSI (both for x86 and x64), attempt to hack it to get around the "UseMSIForLyncInstallation" registry key, and make the command-lines to terminate OCS and uninstall it.
In the past when I had an install to do with SCCM that also required uninstalling an older version of a given application, I typically used the program-chaining technique. That's where you have, for example, 3 or more programs that run in a package
in a sequence and you have Program 3 be set to run after Program 2 does and then set Program 2 to run after Program 1 so you get the desired sequence of Programs 1-2-3 running in that order. So, I created programs to 1) kill Communicator.exe 2) uninstall
Communicator 2007 R2 by doing an "msiexec /uninstall {GUID}" 3) install Silverlight 4) install Visual C++ x86 5) optionally install Visual C++ x64, and then 6) install the Lync x86 or x64 client. That final step was always the point of failure because
I couldn't get the hacked MSI for the Lync Client install to work. I also realized that if Communicator wasn't running when the deployment started, that step would fail and cause the whole process to bail out with an error. That's one of the downsides
of program-chaining, if one step fails, SCCM completely bails on the deployment. This is what also led me to the key to my solution: TASK SEQUENCES.
I'm not sure how many people out there look in the "Operating System Deployment" area of SCCM 2007 where Task Sequences normally live, but I also wonder how many people realize that Task Sequences can be used for more than just Operating System deployments.
One of the biggest advantages of a task sequence is you can set a step to ignore an error condition, such as if you try to terminate a process that isn't running. Another advantage is that task sequences have some very good built-in conditionals that
you can apply to steps, for example, having the sequence skip a step if a certain application (or specific version of an application) is not installed on the machine. Both of those advantages factor highly into my solution.
OK, for those who already think this is "TL;DR", here's the step-by-step of how to do this:
First, you need to extract all the files from the LyncSetup.exe for your needed architectures. We have a mix of Windows XP and Windows 7 64-bit, so my solution here will take both possibilities into account. To extract the files, just start up
the .exe like you're going to install it, but then when the first dialog comes up, navigate to "%programfiles%\OCSetup" and copy everything there to a new location. The main files you need are: Silverlight.exe, vcredist.exe (the x64 LyncSetup.exe includes
both x86 and x64 Visual C++ runtimes, you need them both, just rename them to differentiate), and Lync.msi (this also comes in an x86 and x64 flavor, so if you have a mix of architectures in your environment, get both and either put them into their own directories
or rename them to reflect the architecture).
For my setup, I extracted the files for the x86 and x64 clients and just dumped them each into directories named after the architectures.
Next, move these files into a directory to your SCCM file server, whatever it might be that you deploy from, in our case, it was just another volume on our central site server. Go to the SCCM console into Computer Management -> Software Distribution
-> Packages and then create a new package, call it something meaningful, and then point to the directory on your SCCM file server for the source files.
Now you need to create 3 to 5 programs inside the package:
1. Name: Silverlight
   Command Line: x86\Silverlight.exe /q     (remember, inside my main Lync install folder on my distribution point, I have an x86 directory for the files from the x86 installer and an x64 folder for the files from the x64 installer.
The fact is the Silverlight installer is the same in both, so you only need one of them.)
   On the Environment tab: Program can run whether or not a user is logged in, runs with administrative rights, Runs with UNC name
   On the Advanced tab: Suppress program notifications
   All other options leave default.
2. Name: Visual C++ x86
    Command Line: x86\vcredist_x86.exe /q
   On the Requirements tab: Click the radio button next to "This program can run only on specified client platforms:" and then check off the desired x86 clients.
   Environment and Advanced tabs: same as Silverlight
   (If you have only x64 clients in your environment, change all x86 references to x64. If you have a mixed environment, create another program identical to this one, replacing references to x86 with x64.)
3. Name: Lync x86
    Command Line: msiexec /qn /i x86\Lync.msi OCSETUPDIR="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync" (The OCSETUPDIR fixes the issue with the Lync client wanting to "reinstall" itself every time it starts up)
    Requirements, Environment, and Advanced tabs: Same as with Visual C++ and Silverlight
    (Same deal as above if you have all x64 clients or a mix, either change this program to reflect or make a second program if necessary)
Now you need to make the Task Sequence. Go to Computer Management -> Operating System Deployment -> Task Sequences. Under the Actions pane, click New -> Task Sequence. In the Create a New Task Sequence dialog, choose "create a
new custom task sequence", Next, enter a meaningful name for the task sequence like "Install Microsoft Lync", Next, Next, Close.
The task sequence will have up to 12 steps in it. I'll break the steps down into 3 phases, the prereqs phase, uninstall OCS phase, and then Lync install phase.
Prereqs Phase:
These are the easiest of the steps to do. Highlight the task sequence and then in the Actions pane, click Edit.
1. Click Add -> General -> Install Software. Name: "Install Microsoft Silverlight". Select "Install a single application", browse to the Lync package created earlier and then select the Silverlight program.
2. Add -> General -> Install Software. Name: "Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 x86". Install Single Application, browse to the Lync package, select the Visual C++ x86 package.
As before, if you're an all-x64 environment, replace the x86 references with x64. If you have a mixed environment, repeat step 2, replacing x86 with x64.
3. Add -> General -> Run Command Line. Name: "Enable Lync Installation". This step gets around the UseMSIForLyncInstallation registry requirement. The Lync client MSI simply looks for the presence of this key when it runs, so
we'll inject it into the registry now and it doesn't require a reboot or anything. It just has to be there before the client MSI starts.
Command Line: reg add "hklm\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Communicator" /v UseMSIForLyncInstallation /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Uninstall OCS Phase:
This part consists of up to 6 Run Command Line steps. (Add -> General -> Run Command Line)
4. Name: "Terminate Communicator". Command Line: "taskkill /f /im communicator.exe". On the Options page, check the box next to "Continue on error". This will terminate the Communicator process if it's running, and if it's not, it'll
ignore the error.
5. Name: "Terminate Outlook". Command Line: "taskkill /f /im OUTLOOK.exe". Check the "Continue on error" on the Options page here too. Communicator 2007 hooks into Outlook, so if you don't kill Outlook, it might prompt for a reboot
because components are in use.
(NOTE: If necessary, you could also add another step that terminates Internet Explorer because Communicator does hook into IE and without killing IE, it might require a restart after uninstalling Communicator in the next steps. I didn't run into
this in my environment, though. Just repeat step 5, but replace OUTLOOK.EXE with IEXPLORE.EXE)
6. Name: "Uninstall Microsoft Office Communicator 2007". Command Line: "msiexec.exe /qn /uninstall {E5BA0430-919F-46DD-B656-0796F8A5ADFF} /norestart" On the Options page: Add Condition -> Installed Software -> Browse to the
Office Communicator 2007 non-R2 MSI -> select "Match this specific product (Product Code and Upgrade Code)".
7. Name: "Uninstall Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2". Command Line: "msiexec.exe /qn /uninstall {0D1CBBB9-F4A8-45B6-95E7-202BA61D7AF4} /norestart". On the Options page: Add Condition -> Installed Software ->
Browse to the Office Communicator 2007 R2 MSI -> select "Match any version of this product (Upgrade Code Only)".
SIDEBAR
OK, I need to stop here and explain steps 6 and 7 in more detail because it was a gotcha that bit me after I'd already started deploying Lync with this task sequence. I found out after I'd been deploying for a while that a tech in one of our remote
offices was reinstalling machines and putting the Communicator 2007 non-R2 client on instead of the R2 client, and my task sequence was expecting R2, mostly because I thought we didn't have any non-R2 clients out there. So, at first I just had our Help
Desk people do those installs manually, but later on decided to add support for this possibility into my task sequence. Now, when you normally uninstall something with msiexec, you would use the Product Code GUID in the command, as you see in steps 6
and 7. All applications have a Product Code that's unique to a specific version of an application, but applications also have an Upgrade Code GUID that is unique for an application but common across versions. This is part of how Windows knows that
Application X version 1.2 is an upgrade to Application X version 1.1, i.e. Application X would have a common Upgrade Code, but the Product Code would differ between versions 1.1 and 1.2.
The complication comes in that Communicator 2007 and Communicator 2007 R2 have a common Upgrade Code, but different Product Codes and the "MSIEXEC /uninstall" command uses the Product Code, not the Upgrade Code. This means that if I didn't have step
6 to catch the non-R2 clients, step 7 would be fine for the R2 clients, but fail on non-R2 clients because the Product Code in the MSIEXEC command would be wrong. Luckily, we only had one version of the non-R2 client to deal with versus 4 or 5 versions
of the R2 client. So, I put the command to remove Communicator 2007 non-R2 first and checked for that specific product and version on the machine. If it was present, it uninstalled it and then skipped over the R2 step. If non-R2 was not present,
it skipped that step and instead uninstalled any version of the R2 client. It's important that steps 6 and 7 are in the order they are because if you swap them, then you'd have the same outcome as if step 6 wasn't there. What if neither is on the
machine? Well the collection this was targeted to included only machines with any version of Communicator 2007 installed, so this was not a problem. It was assumed that the machines had some version of Communicator on them.
8. Name: "Uninstall Conferencing Add-In for Outlook". Command Line: "msiexec.exe /qn /uninstall {730000A1-6206-4597-966F-953827FC40F7} /norestart". Check the "Continue on error" on the Options Page and then Add Condition ->
Installed Software -> Browse to the MSI for this optional component and set it to match any version of the product. If you don't use this in your environment, you can omit this step.
9. Name: "Uninstall Live Meeting 2007". Command Line: "msiexec.exe /qn /uninstall {69CEBEF8-52AA-4436-A3C9-684AF57B0307} /norestart". Check the "Continue on error" on the Options Page and then Add Condition -> Installed Software
-> Browse to the MSI for this optional component and set it to match any version of the product. If you don't use this in your environment, you can omit this step.
Install Lync phase:
Now, finally the main event, and it's pretty simple:
10. Click Add -> General -> Install Software. Name: "Install Microsoft Lync 2010 x86". Select "Install a single application", browse to the Lync package created earlier and then select the "Lync x86" program. As before, if you
only have x64 in your environment, replace the x86 with x64, or if you have a mixed environment, copy this step, replacing x86 references with x64.
And the task sequence is done! The final thing you need to do now is highlight the task, click Advertise in the Actions pane, and deploy it to a collection like you would with any other software distribution advertisement. Go get a beer!
Some final notes to keep in mind:
1. You can't make a task sequence totally silent...easily. Users will get balloon notifications that an application is available to install. The notifications cannot be suppressed through the GUI. I've found scripts that supposedly
hack the advertisement to make it be silent, but neither of them worked for me. It was OK, though because in the end we wanted users, especially laptop users, to be able to pick a convenient time to do the upgrade. The task sequence will appear
in the "Add/Remove Programs" or "Programs and Features" Control Panel. You can still do mandatory assignments to force the install to happen, you just can't make it totally silent. On the plus side, the user shouldn't have to reboot at any point
during or after the install!
2. In the advertisement setup, you can optionally show the task sequence progress. I've configured the individual installs in this process to be silent, however, I did show the user the task sequence progress. This means instead of seeing
5 or 6 Installer windows pop up and go away, the user will have a single progress bar with the name of the step that is executing.
3. One step that I didn't consider when I actually did this was starting the Lync client as the user when the install was complete. The user either had to start the client manually or just let it start on its own at the next logon. However,
while I was writing this, I realized that I could possibly start the client after installing by making another Program in the Lync Package with a command line that was along the lines of "%programfiles%\Microsoft Lync\communicator.exe" and then in the Environment
tab, set it to "Run with user's rights" "only when a user is logged on".
4. My first revision of this task sequence has the Prereqs phase happening after the OCS uninstall phase, but I kept running into problems where the Silverlight installer would throw some bizarre error that it couldn't open a window or something wacky
and it would fail. Problem was, I couldn't re-run the task sequence because now it would fail because OCS had been uninstalled, so that's why the Prereqs happen first. It ran much more reliably this way.
5. For some reason that baffles me, when I'd check the logs on the Site Server to monitor the deployment, I'd frequently see situations where the task sequence would start on a given machine, complete successfully, almost immediately start again, and
then fail. I'm not sure what is causing that, but I suspect either users are going to Add/Remove Programs and double-clicking the Add button to start the install instead of just single-clicking it, or the notification that they have software to install
doesn't go away immediately or Lync doesn't start up right after the install, so they think the first time it didn't take and try it a second time.
I hope this helps some of you SCCM and Lync admins out there!

On Step 8 I found multiple product codes for the Conferencing Add-In for Outlook. Here's a list of the ones I found in the machines on my network:
{987CAEDE-EB67-4D5A-B0C0-AE0640A17B5F}

I'm sure there's others one, just be mindful that this add-in will have numerous product codes.

Microsoft Office for Mac open recent File menu option causing AFP to crash

Hi all,
We have an Xserve running Mac OS X Server Leopard 10.5.8. The Xserve hosts three file shares for about 60 users. Our network is 99% Mac based running mostly 10.5.8 with a few 10.6.x. We have historically over the past several years had the AFP service become unreliable and crash frequently. Late last week the AFP service crashes constantly. The quick solution to getting it up and running is to delete the AFP.conf file in /etc.
We have troubleshot one cause of AFP crashing to the Open Recent... File menu option in Microsoft Office for Mac applications. That is, through some amount (haven't been able to narrow it down to how much) of opening documents on the share via the Open Recent menu the AFP service will crash.
Here's what's happening in the AppleFileServer .crash file:

This is followed by a lot of these entries in AppleFileService.log file:

Our solution is to have all our users turn off the open recent option in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Not an ideal solution but it may get the AFP service running "good enough."
Has anyone had an experience like this before or can anyone duplicate the AFP service crashing when trying to open documents on a share via the open recent menu? Any other ideas?
Thanks

Update.
I have been able to consistently reproduce a problem where the AFP service will crash if a file that a user has an alias to is moved to a folder and the user is denied access to .
1. On your Mac create an alias to a file or folder, that you have access to, that is stored on a share served via AFP. The alias can be in the Places section of a Finder window, on the Desktop, or anywhere an alias can be created. Lets call what the alias points to the target.
2. Move the target to a folder on the AFP share and deny the user or group Read & Write access to that folder.
3. Try accessing the target via the alias created in step 1.
The AFP service should crash.
Can anyone reproduce this crash scenario too?
