Lync 2013 Outlook Contact Search format

I was wondering if Lync can display the Outlook contacts by 'File As' format (defaulted to last name, first name) instead of using the 'Display Name'? 
I know that you can change the default format of the Display name to do last name, first name, but that doesn't change all the existing ones to that format. 
Is there a way you can tell Lync to display the 'File As' field for your Outlook Contacts?

No, it is not a native feature.
Lync retrieve the address book from AD, the contact information will display the Display name attribute of AD account.

  • Lync 2013 Frequent Contacts not showing in Outlook 2010 on RDS

    Running Outlook 2010 along with Lync 2013.
    On a Windows 7 PC if I launch Outlook first, then launch Lync. The frequent contacts will appear on the To-Do bar after "refreshing outlook" (minimizing and maximizing or changing folders.
    If I do the same thing on a Windows 2008 R2 RDS machine the Frequent contacts never appear. I have to close down Outlook and reopen Outlook for them to appear.
    Does anyone have any detail information about how the integration between Outlook and Lync works to bring through these contacts?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I test the issue on Windows Server 2008 R2 and I found the frequent contacts appeared on the To-Do bar if I opened Outlook 2010 firstly and then opened Lync 2013 client.
    So please make sure Outlook 2010 and Lync 2013 client to the latest version and then test again.

  • Lync 2013 Outlook Integration Issues

    I have a client that is having Exchange Outlook Integration issues when trying to set up Lync 2013.
    The email address is [email protected] The sip address is
    [email protected] But the Lync server is lync.domain.local. Client is on Exchange 2010.
    The address book is not downloading and the outlook integration issue error icon appears on the bottom right.
    If the client is set manually to [email protected] the address book downloads.
    But can Lync work in the long run set up like this?

    Hi,
    Did you solve the issue with the help of Andrew provided?
    Which sip domain name did you use for default SIP domain ([email protected] or
    [email protected])?
    Did the issue happen internal or external?
    For the issue of cannot download address book, please check the External Base URL on Lync topology with the help of the link below:

  • Outlook Contacts search very slow in Palm Treo 750v

    While trying to search a contact from the Outlook Address Book to send a mail through BlackBerry the address retrival takes ages to happen. Is this a problem with BlackBerry Connect or Windows Mobile.

    While searching the contacts for SMS or making a call the search is quite faster but when I try to open the contacts list from the Blackberry reply mail option it takes ages to open (approximately around 2 to 3 minutes) and then browsing through the contacts itself is quite slower . This problem does not arise in nromal operations.

  • 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:

  • Uninstall Lync 2010 client, Install Lync 2013 using Group Policy/VB/MS Customisation Tool

    Hi, I am using Group Policy/vb/Lync customization tools to deploy 2013 and remove 2010. The machines have Office 2010. The vb script is as below:
    Dim objShell 'As Object
    Dim objFSO 'As FileSystemObject
    '-- SET OBJECTS
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    strComputerName = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%COMPUTERNAME%")
    Dim WshNetwork : Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    objShell.Run """\\xxxxxxxxx - Do not Remove\Lync Install 2013 2010\Lync 2013 Outlook 2010\setup.exe"""
    I have amended the OCT with relevant settings, Lync 2013 installs but Lync 2010 does not uninstall. Here is how i have it set:
    In the Office Customization Tool - Set-up - Add Installation and Run Programs,
    In target - pointing to the Lync2010 exe file (on above share)
    In Arguments - /silent /uninstall
    Is this correct?
    Also, i would have thought that, Remove Previous Installations, it would have an option to remove Lync2010?
    Anyway..pulling my hair out here!
    Hope you can help.

  • How to improve the video quality send by lync 2013?

    we have one sip client  make call with lync 2013 client, and each other support MS rtv video capabilities, after the sip session begin, then video rtp packet send on each directory, all the time our client send 720p video codec to lync 2013 client
    , but we only receive the lower format video codec from lync 2013 , and the video format is changed all the time ,some times is 720p then 960*544, then 960*720, or 630*360,,etc. we wonder how can lync client send stable 720p video codec, and we have acheive
    the funtion accord ms-rtp.pdf document, and our client can calculate bandwidth using rtcp step accord ms-rtcp , then we should do what else in order to get stable 720p from lync 2013...thank you.

    thank you
    now we realy have enoght network bandwidth, is heigher to 4-6Mbps, so I think which is in one right work enviroment.
    Now I notice that the video format received from lync 2013 at the begining of the call is 720p,  and some times change to 960*720, or 960*544, but for many time it may be change between these three  formats, but in some times the video format would
    change to 640*360, once which change to this mode then it would keep in this sitiunation for long long  time, and would never chanege to the heigher ones so it is one incredible things.
    how could we change this sitiuation to get one good video format for heigher video effect.

  • 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 Contact Troubleshooting - Searching contacts & Adding Contacts to Contact Lists

    Running into some interesting issues with a new Lync 2013 deployment that I am having some problems finding troubleshooting steps and resolution for.
    Topology
    Lync 2013 installed in a very straight forward single-server, standard environment.
    Active Directory on Windows 2012, functional level is 2003
    Exchange in the environment is 2007
    Testing Lync 2013 client on Windows 8 
    Windows 8 computer is NOT on the domain, but is on the same LAN
    Windows 8 computer Outlook account is NOT configured for that Exchange server
    Currently just testing functionality of searching for users and adding them to the client contact list.  After reading through countless threads, I have run the local registry update to download address book on startup of Lync client on Windows 8, run
    the update-csaddressbook and update-csuserdatabase with no errors.
    What I am running into is when I search for a user through the client, I get proper results showing the user i was searching for, however, they show no presence and cannot be added to the contact list, giving the error "Cannot add, remove or move contacts
    or groups at this time, please try again later"
    (apparently running into issues uploading images)
    However, if I search for sip:[email protected], presence shows up, I can add the user to the contact list and communicate with them no problem.
    What would be the next steps for troubleshooting?

    Hi,Justin,
    Are these users newly created?If so please wait for 24 hours to have a test.
    Also please check event viewer on Domain controller to check AD replication and synchronization are completed.
    Besides,you can enable Lync server logging and client logging to get more specific information to see what happens to the address book service.
    Regards,
    Sharon

  • Outlook contact not added Email do not show all information i Lync 2013 Client

    I have seen if no Email address is added into contact personen I only get emty Card of user i Lync 2013.
    When I add Email adr. into contact person and wait a littel then user get all information right i Lync 2013 user Card.
    IS this right or should it also showing user and all information from Outlook contact Card into lync 2013 client Card?

    Lync aggregates contact data from Microsoft Exchange GAL, Outlook and Microsoft Lync Server.
    So you can see information from outlook in Lync user card.

  • User search from "Find Someone" in Lync 2013 client does not show contact availability

    Running Lync 2013 Client / Server, when a user searches in the "find someone" field, contact names are returned, but the contact's presence status shows "Updating..." and never populates with the users presence.  If you then select
    a name from the search and open an IM session with them, the presence data is there and is accurate.  I think this feature used to work fine.  

    Hi,
    Did the issue happen only for you or for multiple users?
    Please enter the sip address instead of the name of the user in the “find someone” field to test the issue.
    Please also run Update-CsUserDatabase on FE server then remove Lync client profile to test the issue.
    User profile path: <user profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\

  • Outlook 2013 contacts resolve to email on Lync 2013 "calls" list.

    Seems that at least for some of my users, Lync 2013 (and not Lync 2010 clients), their contacts fail to resolve to "name" and instead resolve to email.
    The related setting in Lync 2013 settings is set properly (even unticked, ok, ticked back, ok).
    If user asks for contact details within Lync 2013 client, the client properly pops-up the contact details fully. But the "calls" list doesn't show the names. It DOES show the names of internal contacts.
    Environment is SBS2011 (Exchange 2010) with Lync 2013 server. 
    Any ideaS?

  • No contacts in Lync 2013 client and not appearing in others contact lists

    Hello all,
    I hope someone might be able to help out with this problem, I've been at it for weeks with no luck. I've migrated from Lync 2010 to 2013. All users have been successfully migrated and everything is working for them, except for one user (which i me unfortunately).
    When I sign into Lync from any device (desktop, laptop, windows phone, iphone) I do not see any contacts in my organization, but I can find any of the contacts if i search for them. I also don't appear in anyone else's contact list, but they can find me if
    they search. 
    I have tried disabling and removing my account from Lync server, uninstalling and reinstalling the Lync client on my machine, cleaning up all the Lync folders and registry keys on my machine. Nothing seems to get me any closer to getting this fixed. 
    I did find a discussion
    here that is exactly the problem I'm having, but I don'e see a solution there either.
    Has anyone else seen this before? Any suggestions or ideas would be very appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    I am afraid your Lync account lose the user data contact list when you move user from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013.
    Please try to move the user back to Lync server 2010 to check if the contact list is stored.
    You can use the tool DBIMPEXP.exe to back up specific user’ data from Lync Server 2010 and import the data to Lync Server 2013 with the command Import-CSUserData which is introduced in Lync Server 2013.
    Before you import the data, you need to use the command Convert-CSUserData to convert exported user data to the data format used by Microsoft Lync Server 2013.
    For the details, please check

  • Outlook contacts not seen in lync client

    Hi,
    I've got Outlook 2010 and lync client 2013.
    I've got many contacts in outlook and the behavior of them in lync is:
    1. if contact has not got email the telephones are seen and contact is seen as Telephone icon,
    2. if contact has got email (domain different as sip domain) the telephones are not seen and contact is seen as Unknown user.
    Is it correct behavior?
    Lync client 2013 got newest update.
    What should I do to make lync search all outlook contacts?
    Thanks in advance.

    Open Lync option, click Personal, check the Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook is selected under Personal information manager.
    Call the contact for PSTN number with Lync client to check if you can call the number successfully.

    Talha Faraz Malik

    Hi,
    If you change the SMTP account same with SIP account, please try to delete Lync user profile and restart Lync, Outlook client to test again.
    If you want to use different SMTP account with Lync account, you can also try to change Lync client policy, change the parameter DisableEmailComparisionCheck to True.
