Lync 2013 custom meeting requests and the CustomFooterText attribute

Hi there,
I've been playing around custom meeting requests in Lync 2013. I need to automatically add some lines of text for a Lync Meeting request, and have been using the CustomFooterText attribute. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to support carriage return
so all the text is dumped onto one line... and looks very messy.
I've read on one of the posts, that this field supports HTML, and have tried pasting in some HTML codes, but it's still rendered as text in Outlook.
The only way I've managed to do this is to save the desired output as an image, upload it to a web server, and use the -LogoURL switch instead, which essentially inserts a graphic... not ideal, but works.
Does anyone know of a way to insert carriage returns into the CustomFooterText?
Regards, James.

Hi James,
I did some research and testing but found no way to add a carriage return to have this text respect the formatting as entered.
Best regards,
Eric

is it possible to make in : Join by phone tin online meeting request that the number is shown as hiperlink in outlook 2010??

help
any suggestions???

Mine works with the tel URL syntax already in there.
A couple of thoughts, if that's not working for you you could make your own hyperlink to look something like this:
<a href=tel:+556666888888>Join Via Phone</a>
I've seen callto: work as well.
Which you might be able to append into the default meeting invite:

The other thought is to check out Matt's select dial:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Lync-Copy-Dial-Just-Select-3c426244 which would allow you to highlight any number and hit a hotkey to call.

I get a question mark next to email addresses when I try to send a meeting request and it fails

Outlook 2010, standard Win 7 setup.
I am trying to send a meeting request and when I bring up the address book to insert email addresses it seems to insert the address but it has a gray question mark next to it. Sending then fails. Even an email address manually typed in gets the question
mark.
Odd thing is that from a regular email I can insert the same address from the same contact list and it works fine.
Why does it fail in meeting invites by not in email?

Hi,
When you hover your mouse pointer on the mark, or click on it, do you see any hint?
When sending the meeting request fails, do you see any error message?
If you are an Exchange account user, try to send a request to the people in your organization, I suppose it works.
Just a guess, try to clear the nickname and the automatic completion caches to test the result:

I am trying to open a service request and the site does not work.

I am trying to open a service request and the site does not work with ANY browser. I get the page https://getsupport.apple.com/GetParts.action which says "Send in for service. We just need a little more information." The continue button does not work. I've seen this problem before trying to file support requests. It's as if Apple simply does not want you to create requests.

I just went through several screens and had no problems. Try clearing your browser's cache and/or history.

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Delete in xsql:dml vs xsql:delete-request and returned rows attribute

There is a difference in the number of rows returned between using a delete in xsql:dml vs xsql:delete-request. If I issue a delete via xsql:dml and the row I wish to delete is not in the table, then I get a result with rows equal to 0 as expected. However if I issue a delete via xsql:delete-request and the row I wish to delete is again not in the table, then I get a result with rows equal to 1.
It appears that the value of rows in the response to xsql:delete-request is the number of rows to be processed, ie the number of rows in the posted document, whereas the value of rows in the response to xsql:dml is the number of rows processed in the database.
I'd expect that the result that we want is the number of rows processed in the database. Thus xsql:delete-request should use the rows attribute in the response to reflect the number of rows processed in the database and thus be consistent with xsql:dml, and possibly use another attribute to reflect the number of rows to be processed.
The same problem occurs with an update in xsql:dml vs xsql:update-request.

xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">

where reqdelete.xsql is

Steve.

If you post as an HTML parameter, then you can directly reference the parameter value as either a lexical parameter:
<xsql:dml>
insert into foo(xml_column) values ('{@paramname}')
</xsql:dml>
or as a bind parameter:
<xsql:dml bind-params="paramname">
insert into foo(xml_column) values (?)
</xsql:dml>
I'd recommend the latter since it's more robust to the presence of quotes in the XML that's being posted.
If you post the XML HTTP body, then you'd have to write a custom action handler that called the getPageRequest().getPostedDocument() to get hold of the posted XML Document.

Difference between the binding and the value attribute of an Oracle ADF com

Lync 2013 Enterprise load balancing on the front end and edge pool

Hi,
I am setting up a Lync 2013 Enterprise deployment consisting of a Front End pool (x2 FE servers) and an Edge pool (x2 Edge servers). I'm seeing some conflicting advice regarding load balancing using hardware or DNS for the front end and the edge.
On the front end I have 2 internal DNS records 'lyncfepool1.contoso.local' each of which map to one of the IPs of the FE servers. I've used my details to populate the Detailed Design Planner excel spreadsheet and am told that I require a HLB to load
balance my front end pool. I'm aware of the need to load balance HTTPS traffic internally (which will be done by TMG) however other traffic to the front end (SIP, etc) can be balanced by DNS only, and not require a HLB?
Can someone clarify the front end requirement?
Also - looking now at the edge pool - this site again have two edge servers in a pool. We are using a total of six private IP addresses, two per edge service (2 x av.contoso.com, 2 x sip.contoso.com and 2 x webcon.contoso.com). These will be
NAT'ed by the external firewall and directed to the respective external (DMZ) IP addresses on the Edge servers on port 443. I know this isn't true roundrobin due to the intelligence of the Lync client when connecting (in that the Lync client will connect
to one of the public IPs and if it can't connect, it will know to connect to the other service IP), however I want to clarify this set up, particularly the need to direct the external public IP traffic at the DMZ Edge IP specified in the topology builder.
I've attached a basic diagram of the external/DMZ/Edge side which hopefully helps with this question
Persevere, Persevere, Per..

That is because you will always need HLB for a front-end server since it hosts the Lync webservices which use HTTP/HTTPS traffic.
The description on the calculation tool also describes this correctly:
Supports Standard and Enterprise pools (up to 12 nodes), with pure device-based load balancing or a combination of DNS load balancing and device-based load balancing (for
Lync web services)
You can use either Hardware or DNS loadbalancing for SIP traffic only, but you will always need a HLB for the webservices. Both are applicable for the Front-End so you have either
full HLB for both SIP and HTTP(S) traffic
DNS LB for SIP traffic and HLB for HTTP(S) traffic
Hope this is more clear :-)

Outlook 2013 and Lync 2013 suddenly cannot run at the same time

We recently switched to Office 365 and up until this month's Tuesday Patch Day, everything was working great. As soon as I installed the patches from 3/12/2013. Ever since then I've had the following issue:
Launch Outlook 2013
Launch Lync 2013
Get the following dialog box: "Outlook Data File: The file <filename> is in use and cannot be accessed. Close any application that is using this file, and then try again. You might need to restart your computer."
Click Ok to dismiss the dialog box. Everything seems to function normally.
About three minutes later I get the following dialog box: "We're sorry, but Outlook has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Outlook will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now?"
Click Close. Everything seems to function normally.
Steps taken to attempt to a fix:
I deleted the Outlook profile and recreated it from scratch. No improvement.
I rebooted the machine. No improvement.
I repaired the Outlook data file. No improvement.
Other notes:
If I start Outlook 2013 by itself, it works fine and no dialog boxes.
If I start Lync 2013 by itself, it works fine and no dialog boxes.

Hi all,
I had the same problem as the original poster, and I fixed it using the method I'm about to describe. First, let me state that I am using a volume-license version of Office 2013 Standard, installed the conventional way ... we are not using the desktop
apps available with Office 365 plans E3+E4 or "Midsize Business".
I had originally installed Lync 2013 using a 'streaming' installer that you find by logging into the Office 365 Portal site -> Office 365 Settings -> Software -> Lync -> Install.
That installer does not work with the version of Office 2013 I'm using. I uninstalled Lync, and reinstalled using the links below:
(32-bit):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35451
(64-bit):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35450
The version of Lync that you choose (32-bit or 64-bit) has to match the version of Office 2013 you already have installed. Upon installing the 64-bit version of Lync at the URL above, the error message "Outlook
Data File: The file <filename> is in use and cannot be accessed." disappeared and Outlook and Lync now happily cooperate.

Lync 2013 edge server request certificates

I am deploying Lync 2013 edge server, how to get the certificate request file[certificate
signing request (CSR)] on setp 3: Reques,install or Assign Certficates.
i need your help!
Thanks!

Agree with Jason.
On the Certificate Request File page, type the full path and file name to which the request is to be saved.
After you get Certificate Request File, you need to submit this file to your CA (by email or other method supported by your organization for your enterprise CA) and, when you receive the response file, copy the new certificate to this computer so that it
is available for import.

LYNC 2013 mobility clients disconnect and AAR bad response time

Good day,
I'm new to this, but have to implement LYNC 2013 for our company.
I have implemented Lync 2013 by following various instructions and all seems fine... apart from all mobile clients (internal/external - Andoid/IOS). They get disconnected after a few minutes. On Android the error is "unknown error" (very useful)
and on IOPS it's "unhandeled alert type 302 E_Badgateway (E2-3-35).
What I have noticed is that on AAR, on the LYNCWEB server farm (under " Monitoring and Management") the response time is huge (10000 + ms) and when the errors come up on the clients I get a "failed request".
I can not think what may be wrong but all is pointing to AAR?
AAR is version 3 running on 2021 R2
any ideas? been stuck for a week on this now.
Many thanks

Hi,
From your description above, it seems to be the issue with IIS ARR.
You can check with the following steps:
Check if DNS records and certificate were appropriate.
Check if ExposedWebURL set to External.
Try to increase the time out value from 200 to 1800
More details:

Lync 2013 commands shell to get the report which user is connecting to which pool in coexistence with Legacy version

HI,
We have LYNC 2013 in coexistence with OCS 2007 R2 and setup is like that user can connect to any pool either sip is exist on OCS 2007 or on LYNC 2013
Do we have any command shell to get the details about which user is connecting to which pool?
lync 2013 commands to get the report which user is connecting to legacy pool in coexistence with ocs 2007
Thanks

HI Holger,
Thanks for reply!!
But the above link will not work as per scenrio.
The SIP addresses has been migrated to LYNC server. ther is no user host on OCS server. However in communicator client the manual entry is done and OCS pool name is given. OCS pool just redirect the query to LYNC pool.
And we need to idenfy the SIP user request on OCS which are redirecting by ocs pool to lync pool
In other word we can say this question like: How to collect the number of SIP users connections coming on OCS Direct server?
Thanks
jitender
As all users are migrated to Lync Server, all users will be redirected to their home pool.
You want to collect the number of SIP connections coming from OCS server that means you want to count the number of Lync client with manual configuration pointing to OCS server.
This information is stored in SIP session. There is no Lync command to get this kind of information natively.

Site not found using Sharepoint Designer 2013, Load balance URL and the Front end servers.

Dears,
My SharePoint farm is with the below configuration in our office :
Batch processing server the with Central Administration
Web Front End Sever 1 (http://wfe01)
Web Front End Sever 2 (http://wfe02)
I do have the load balance URL as http://finance.mycompany.com and as per the system administrator it seems configured properly.
In AAM i have mapped the URLs as below for the web application in Central Administration portal:
http://finance.mycompany.com - Default Zone
http://wfe01 - Intranet Zone
http://wfe02 - Internet Zone
I was able to browse the site via the load balance URL : http://finance.mycompany.com, but couldn't open the site using the Share Point Designer 2013. It always says the site not found.
please advise,
thanks,
Ammar

What do the wfe01 and wfe02 aams do?
Are you browsing to the SharePoint site and using SPD on the same computer, is it part of the farm or a seperate client computer?
thanks Alex a lot for your response and appreciate the same.
WFE01, WFE01 is connected to the one central admin on Batch Processing Server (central admin URL is http://SharepointCA:5555 and the SharePoint Web Application is hosted under port 80 on the same server). So the AAM configured on the batch processing server
central admin.
I can connect to the site using the SPD inside the Batch Processing server if i mention the site urs as http://localhost. But not from other client computers by putting the load balance URL - http://finance.mycompany.com.
I can browse the sites directly putting http://wfe01, http://wfe02 and as well as the load balance URL (http://finance.mycompany.com). The custom webparts are getting crashed when i put the web application URL as http://finance.mycompany.com.
thanks,
Ammar
