Lync 2013 - Silent install via .msp does not work

The thread listed below is marked as "answered" and indeed the answer given is correct and should work. . . but recently it seems to have stopped working for many.
(EDIT:  Site will not allow me to post the link I was planning to post, "until it verifies my account."  So, I can only refer you to the thread named "Lync 2013 Client - Silent Installation")
Specifically, it should be possible to do a silent install of Lync 2013 by following the instructions given in the link above to use setup.exe /admin and create an .msp to put in the "updates" folder for the silent install.
The problem is, recently (September 2014-ish) this appears to have stopped working.  The thread quoted above has several people replying, all during September 2014, that this method does not work.  I am among them.  Lync 2013 runs through
the setup, but only Office Tools ever appears as installed in the Start menu.  However, if you go to Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, and look for Lync 2013, it is listed there.  You can then tell it to "repair" the Lync installation,
and it reinstalls properly.  This, of course, defeats the whole purpose of trying to do a silent install, however.
Since it appears that the .msp silent install method used to work, but now does not -- what changed?  And what kind of workaround can be used?

Hi,
Did the Lync Package to be the latest version from Microsoft Website?
As the issue have been met by several users, you can feedback the issue on the link below:

  • Sharepoint 2013 list view quick edit does not work with out remote API permissions

    sharepoint 2013 list view quick edit does not work with out remote API permissions.
    When I give Use Remote Interfaces  -  Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site it works which is not an ideal situation..

    This is true. If you use Fiddler to watch the requests from the list view quick edit you can see CSOM calls. For example when changing a value in a cell, when you tab out you will see the SetFieldValue and Update method calls on the list item.

  • Office 2013 C2R Update Scheduled Task does not work

    Hi all.
    I am having difficulty getting network deployed updates to work correctly. I installed and older version of Office 2013 with the ODT from a network share and set the update path. I then downloaded an update via ODT.
    The issue is the scheduled task does not update office. If I trigger or manually run from a command prompt "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection modeargs reschedulemode tasktrigger
    scheduledtask updateuitype background” from Task Scheduler nothing seems to happen. Monitoring Task Manager it looks like integratedoffice is called albeit very briefly.
    But, if I run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection background” from a command prompt Office updates, but if I edit the Scheduled Task to above Office does not update if the
    task is triggered.
    As Office can update if the right command is given it would appear that my config.xml etc is correct. Any ideas on why the Scheduled Task does not work?
    Cheers
    Jakes

    What permissions are set on the location of the updates ? C2R currently needs permissions granted for machine accounts as it runs under that context. This will change at some point that C2R gets updated.

  • Capturing video via Firewire does not work on CS6

    I recently installed 64 bits Windows 7.
    The capture function in Premiere CS6 does not work with my panasonic camcorder NV-GS500
    Windows recognizes the camcorder, but I cannot do anything with it in the Capture window.
    This not an Premiere-specific problem , because also wit Nero I have the same problem.
    I expect that the Windows7 driver for my camera needs to be upodated, but Panasonic cannot help me.
    Is there anybody out in the Premiere community who knows a solution?

    Windows 7 Changed the standard 1394 driver from XP which allows Win 7 to Throttle bandwidth on Firewire devices. This is why Ann mentioned the legacy driver which is basically the old XP driver. The bandwidth throttling causes allot of issues with certain cameras during the Handshake process which is why you often have deck control but no preview or primary video stream. If you follow the instructions in the link above or the paste below to set the Legacy driver for the 1394 controller , that will often resolve these issues. However some firmware on different manufacturers Firewire controllers include these C-State Bandwidth throttling sets so it still may not work. In that case you want to get a Firewire card with a TI chipset. The firmware on TI chips are clean and dont include the C-State changes.
    Solution 6: Use the Legacy FireWire driver (Windows 7 x64)  
      Click the Windows Start button; type "device manager" into the Search box and select Device Manager
      Swivel open the "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers" item
      Right-click on your listed 1394 controller; select "Update Driver Software"
      Click the "Browse my computer for driver software" button, followed by the "Let me pick from a list" button
      Select the option that has "(Legacy)" at the end of the name; click Next and let Windows install the driver
    Make sure you restart the system after you make the change to legacy. Also do not have the Firewire device plugged in when changing the driver to Legacy.
      Close out of dialogs and retry capture'

  • SCVMM 2012, Conntect via conosle does not work when logged in with specified credentials

    Hi all
    I have a problem with the SCVMM 2012 console. When I start the console I select the "Specify credentials" option and then I enter my admin credentials. Afterward the console opens
    and everything works except the "Connect via Console" function.
    When I try to connect to a VM I get the following message:
    Virtual Machine Manager lost the connection to the virtual machine for one of the following reasons: Another connection was established to the console of this machine. The virtual machine has been shut down or put into the saved state. The user credentials
    provided do not have the necessary privilege to connect (0x0003, 0x0300)
    It seems that the Virtual Machine Viewer runs not under the admin credentials which I enter at the beginning and therefore the console cannot connect.
    Has someone the same issue ? Is it by design that the console connection does not work with specified credentials or is a sort of a bug or error ?
    Thx
    J0fe

    Being new to SCVMM, I've just come across this issue myself, though I came to a different (not necessarily better, but good enough for me) resolution.
    I have a somewhat convoluted but not abnormal configuration where the SCVMM server lives in a separate untrusted forest to that which the Hyper-V Server hosts live.
    As people have noted in this and other threads, the VirtualMachineViewer.exe process launches in the same security context with which you logged onto your pc. While the VmmAdminUI.exe process also runs in the same security context,
    the network logon it issues makes use of the credentials provided at the SCVMM MMC's logon screen, which VirtualMachineViewer.exe does not.
    I elected to use Credential Manager to resolve this issue.
    In Credential Manager, I created a "Windows Credential" entry where the hostname matched the FQDN of the hostname that appears within SCVMM as the virtual host entry. Using an IP does not match if you've used an FQDN in the SCVMM
    registration, and vice versa. If you used an IP for the host in SCVMM, then you need to supply that IP as the hostname in Credential Manager, and likewise if you used a FQDN.
    This solution isn't perfect as it requires you to manage numerous Credential Manager entries (one per host), but that still appealed to me far more than one per guest. If I had a larger environment, I'd script the account configuration
    given it only needs to happen once per host, rather than on an ongoing basis of once per guest as some of the above approaches would require.
    I haven't tested the different combinations to verify the least permissions required. For the time being I've gone with the model of using a non-privileged domain user account (to avoid managing multiple identities and passwords)
    which I added to the local Administrators group of each Hyper-V Server host. This stuck me as being a sound enough compromise between rigid security and ease-of-administration (given the per host arrangement in Credential Manager).
    With the account correctly specified in Credential Manager, I'm able to move on past the 0x0003 error and successfully use the remote function.
    If I was to point out an upside to this, it would be that this approach would allow me to remote Hyper-V servers in untrusted forests (including workgroups), which is something I couldn't do if the VirtualMachineViewer.exe process
    did in fact use my SCVMM credentials alone. Ultimately, that's something you have to come to terms with yourself, though.
    Cheers,
    Lain
    Thanks a bunch Lain, this helped! I'd still consider this a bug, however, and not a workable solution for a large number of servers/admins... But for now this does the trick, thanks!

    Since installing Lion OS, iCal does not work.  I cannot add an event, print calendar, etc.  How do i reinstall?

    You can use Lion Recovery
    Before you do that, go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.iCal.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.
    See if you can print or add an event now.

  • Having start up problems, keyboard light and loudness adjustment via keyboard does not work

    Often if I start my MacBookPro 13" with Lion it starts up and is than blocked. I can not open the finder nor starting any programm. The turning wheel never stops and I have to restart the book by pressing the on/off button for a long time. Sometimes I need to do that several times till it runs stable.
    During this week I experienced in addition that the keyboard light is not working anymore and also the loudspeaker adjustment does not work via keybaord. Only via menu bar.
    Any idea what's going on with my book?

  • Find via network does not work

    Hi..I´m having a big trouble when trying to find images by it´s keywork when they are stored in my company server. Let´s explain
    I take some photos or even work with Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign files. I set different keyword for the files and move it to a central folder in my server, where everyone inside the company has acess.
    The problem is: Nobody is able to find that images...In Adobe Bridge (Cs3 or CS4) they go  Edit > Find, set the criteria and run the search > not done. The unique person able to find that images by searching  via keywork is myself inside my own computer (the one I´ve set files´ keywords)
    I´ve tried everithing, check options in find dialog box, triing to centralize a cache folder in server and pointing all the bridges to that folders, purge and export cache to folders, and so on, but I do not know if it´s anything related to cache.
    In Resume, nobody is able to find images by any criteria if they are stored inside server (just the people that set keyword is able).
    How to solve it?
    Thank you a lot
    Gustavo.

    This question has been asked many times, but no one responds back as how they solved the problem.
    Seen this recent link.  It sounds like you have tried suggestions at end of post #1, and it did not work.

  • Flash Player has downloaded/installed, but still does not work

    This is a relatively new problem for my computer, but from what i have read, is a common problem so I know it is not my computer.  Out of the blue, click on a video and all i see is a black screen.  No adobe logo saying i needed to update or download in order to watch video.  So i unistalled, rebooted and reinstalled..nothing.  I uninstalled/installed with zip..nothing.  Everything that is enabled is enabled..nothing.  Reset IE...nothing.  Downloaded Mozilla..nothing.  I am currently running windows xp, IE 8 (32 bit) and all security software are disabled.  The crazy part is that when i check the file for flash player, it does not show any bites in file.  I know there should be bites in there because i checked on a computer with working flash player and it shows 6.00 mb.  So somewhere from the installation, the file is lost.  i have tried pretty much all suggestions, dating back from '09 and really really need some advice.  

    ok..flash player x is listed.  always has been.  i don't understand the whole "no files" bit cuz the computer that i am using show 6.00mb in files.  unless it is outdated? this computer is brand new, custom made as of last month to my specs, so i can't see how adobe would be outdated.  Mozilla shows in my add/remove files, but that flash player plugin is nowhere to be found.  in fact, this is all the adobe files i see in order:
    Adobe AIR
    Adobe Download Manager
    Adobe Flash Player10 Active X
    Adobe Flash Reader X
    Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5
    i am really not liking mozilla, however...upon clicking a video, it is telling me i need to update to newer version of adobe.  When i click on dl, it gives me a window to save as a binary file.  it will not download and all security/firewall are off.  Shockwave has always been enabled.  pretty much anything you posted to do in past threads..i have done.  its driving me crazy
    i can bring up other websites, just cannot watch videos and was stuck on that redirect to adobe forum..will try the forum again.

  • Loginscript via GPO does not work when local admin

    Hi
    We are in the middle of deploying Windows 8.1 to our
    organization. We are using Windows 7 Pro today. We a mapping network drives
    with a logon script via GPO. It is done with the good old net use commands that
    has been working for years e.g.:
    net use K: \\server1\Data /PERSISTENT:YES
    net use L: \\server1\Design /PERSISTENT:YES
    It works perfectly on Windows 7, but on the new
    Windows 8.1 machines, no network drives are mapped. I can see that the GPO are
    applied fine to the machines. It seems to have something to do with UAC and the
    fact that the users is local admins. If I remove the use from the administrator
    group, the script works fine and the drives are mapped just like in Windows 7 (5
    minutes delayed, but it works...!). If I keep the user in the administrator group
    and instead disable UAC by setting the EnableLUA to 0 in the registry it works
    too, but then it gives me a lot of other issues with Metro apps and the Windows
    Store.
    Has anyone found a good solution to map network drives
    for users that needs to be local administrators, without disabling UAC completely
    in the registry?
    Any help would be
    appreciated!

    Thank you Techguy
    "Group Policy Preference Drive Maps", does not just resolve my issue it does also give me some a lot of new awesome options I don't have with net use commands via GPO :-)
    I have not tested it with Windows 7 yet, but I am pretty sure it will work there too

  • Exchange 2013 - 2007 coexistence - activesync 2007 does not work correctly

    Exchange 2013 SP1.  On going Saga-  Last night we cut over to full co-existence with DNS changes for use of legacy namespace and had to roll back again. We had only two issues but one was considered a show stopper.
    The main issue was that Active Sync would not work correctly for 2007 users. It failed the exchange connectivity test and would only work on a device if the domain was entered - or if the legacy namespace was entered manually. That would have meant
    chaos for several thousand users so we rolled back. (It worked perfectly for 2013 users).
    The error given by the test was "foldersync failed" when I drilled down into the detail. It found autodiscover but failed after the initial handshake. (All other tests passed for 2007 and 2013 users)
    We tried:
    1. Populating both Autodisover internal and external urls with the legacy namespace
    2. Populating only the internal url and leaving the external blank (both 1 and 2 had the same result)
    3. Leaving both URLs blank to force 2013 to proxy to the 2007 cas (totally broke it- would not resolve at all)
    I don't know if this is related but SSO is failing for 2007 OWA - two prompts.
    Environment notes- all internal co-existence is working and the internal LTM F5's are working. Externally we use 2 GTM F5 to the LTM f5's to Ex2013. 2007 has SSL being passed through all the way to the CAS. Servers are split into CAS and MBX over 2 DC's.
    Everything else externally was working when we cut over.
    any and all help appreciated
