Lync 2013 with Skype

Hi,
I do have Lync 2013 Servers (on premise) and I do have connected with PIC, I can chat with GTalk users and MSN users. I can also chat with new Skype users who have new Skype client application and which were connected their Skype account with Microsoft accounts.
However, when will Lync 2013 users will be able to add ALL current Skype users (including those who aren't connected to their Microsoft Account). Also when will this Skype users be able to find & add all Lync users ?
If never, what will be with those who never connect their Skype account with Microsoft Account.
Are there any rumors or official news regarding to this ?
-- Hrvoje Kusulja

I didn’t see such news.
In theory, you can’t search all the Skype users and Lync users.
In the corporate network, you can access the GAL, then you can search all the Lync enabled user. But as an external user, you can’t access the GAL. So you need to add the contact by SIP address.
If the receiver doesn't accept your invitation, you won't be able to chat with this user.

Lync 2013 with outlook 2010 meeting error

I have installed lync basic 2013 with outlook 2010. The meeting add in is in place, but I get an error when trying to set up a Lync meeting "unable to identify the calendar owner"
What to do to correct this?

Hi,
You seem to get the error “Unable to identify the calendar owner. Please contact your support team.”
This is caused if the Online Meeting Add-in for Lync 2010 cannot determine the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) address of your Microsoft Outlook account. You need to contact your Exchange administrator.
If you mail server does not support online meeting(such as a pop3 server), you can join the meeting as anonymous user through the meeting URL.
You can also create a new profile to check the result:

Deploy Lync 2013 with XML?

Lync 2013 is part of Office 2013 Pro Plus.
When I first deployed Office I never bothered with Lync... we now need it.
Same with Access.... for Access I use the following XML:
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" /> -->
<USERNAME Value="Authorised Used" /> -->
<COMPANYNAME Value="XXX XXX" /> -->
<OptionState Id="ACCESSFiles" State="local" Children="force" /> -->
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" /> -->
</Configuration>
Doesnt see to work for Lync though....
In OptionState Id I've tried LyncFiles, LyncCoreFiles... but no joy.
Any ideas?

Hi Peter,
I also haven't found the OptionID for Lync, could we use the OCT to change the installation state of features instead? The equivalent option in the OCT is
Set feature installation states. And we can deploy the update via a MSP file.

Lync 2013 with SIP trunk with panasonic kx-tde200

Hi
My company has installed a panasonic ip-pbx kx-tde for multiline with 100 number range for telephone service.
Now my company is going to replace multiline by sip trunk . It will still work with Panasonic pbx box just need to reprogramme to be able to connected to the sip proxy which is managed by internet service provider.
For this scenario , would Lync 2013 voice work if I just add PSTN gateway which is the ip of panasonic pbx address to the frontend in topology ? Or I may need a mediation server as a must requirement to make lync voice work?
Thanks
WenFei

Media bypass allow a call to basically skip the mediation server once it's established and go directly from gateway (in this case the PBX) and the endpoint (the telephone handset or Lync client) More information here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398719.aspx
By having this (if your PBX supports it) you reduce the load on the mediation servers. Before you go too far down the road also make sure that your PBX supports SIP trunks that are SIP over TCP (as Lync doesn't work with SIP over UDP)
Sort of, the easiest way is to add the .com as an additional SIP domain in Topology builder, you will need to create DNS records for it (both internal and external) and you will need to reissue the certs with additional SANs to support the second domain.
YOu will also need to update all the users to use the new suffix of xxx.com. So it's not a small task.

Integrating Lync 2013 with IBM Lotus notes

Hi All,
One of our customer raised the below query:
We have Lync Online Meetings Connector for Lotus Notes that will work with Lync 2010. You can refer the below article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh527742(v=office.14).aspx
However, partner is not sure about the same meeting connector available for Lync 2013 when we have Lotus notes email system.
Partner wants to schedule the Lync 2013 meeting but don’t have Outlook client as Exchange server mail system is not used in their environment. They have Lotus notes email system.
Question:
Do we have Lync 2013 Meeting connector for Lotus notes?
Please advise. Thank you for your time.

... Good question. I don't have a Notes environment to test in, but you could use the 2013 client to connect to the 2010 back end to test. I'd download the free Lync Basic client and see if you can replicate the functionality you need:

Lync 2013 with ipad clinet (lync 2013)

Hi All
I have deployed lync 2013 and installed only the JAN -14 updates over it, my setup is in split brain dns (same name internal & external) and I have added all lync discovery A record to point to the internal IP.my problem is ipad client 2010 is working
fine however ipad client 2013 is not able to connect at all, what I am missing here?
PS: I am using public certificate for the internal servers & Lync connectivity analer go green on every thing when I chose Lync Mobile 2013
please help

Do you have server autodetect turned on in both client versions? Are you signing into both version from the same type of network location (ie. internal WiFi). Does it work if you switch to a different WiFi location that would be external?
Also, you said before "I have added all lync discovery A record to point to the internal IP."
If you have lyncdiscover.<yourdomain> pointing to internal, but mobilty set to external, it won't work. Set lyncdiscover in your internal DNS zone to your external reverse proxy IP.

How to configure Lync 2013 with Citrix xendesktop,

when we publish the Lync clinet in the Citrix XenApp 6.5, the mic is not working. we install the Lync VDI plug-in but still is not working.

The better place to ask is the Lync Forums. But make sure you are using the latest Cumulative Updates for your Lync 2013 clients. Also have a look at these threads:

Lync 2013 with Windows 8.1 unusably slow

Hi, I have a Windows 8 Enterprise (VL) laptop with 64-bit Office 2013 installed on it. A couple of days ago I updated my laptop with Windows 8.1.
That seems to have upset Lync. It has slowed dow so much as to be unusable. For instance, if I open a conversation with someone and type something into the input area, my characters appear there with a 5 to 10 second delay per character. For
instance if I type 'hello there', it will take between one and 2 minutes before all the text is in and visible (and that is not because I am a slow typist :)).
Connecting to a video conference just locks the whole thing up. Which is a problem since I have just signed up to a training course which is delivered via Lync.
Only a handful of other people in my office have upgraded, but none of them have the same problem. Has anyone else come across this? Or have any suggestions? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office but it made no difference. I have
also checked that my machine is up-to-date with Microsoft Update (both via WSUS and direct with MS).
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Kelvin, thanks for the response.
Before I saw your comments, I had made some progress towards identifying the cause. It seems to be related to my sound drivers. If I uninstall my Dell drivers
(an IDT driver, dated March 2011), then Lync works perfectly.<o:p></o:p>
The problem I then have though, is that my system no longer recognises my headphones. If I go into the Sound settings, it does not seem to
recognise that my laptop has a single combined audio+mic jack plug – it thinks I should have separate ones.
Unfortunately, there are no more advanced drivers available on the Dell web site.
So I have Lync working again, but at the cost of being able to use my headset.
I will follow your advice and give the Lync 2010 option a try.
Andrew vR
I actually stumbled upon the exact same scenario yesterday. Clean installed 8.1 and Office 2013 on a Latitude E4310, and Lync is extremely slow/crashing. Also, the audio device stopped working. Reinstalled the audio drivers, rebooted a hundred times, repaired
the office installation, but still no go. Then I removed the audio drivers yet again, and immediately rebooted, and then it suddenly started to work again - with Microsoft vanilla audio drivers.
I have also seen on another E4310 which has been upgraded from 8 to 8.1, that Lync got very, very sluggish. A repair of the Office installation solved the problem there - without touching any audio settings/drivers, so I'm not entirely sure this is just
related to the IDT drivers.
We are also seeing similiar problems with Microsoft Visio.... :/

You can't use a personal email account (MSN/Gmail/etc..)
to sign into the Lync client. You can purchase an account from Lync Online: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/lync/lync-online-overview-and-features-online-meetings-and-instant-messaging-FX103789571.aspx or
if your corporation has deployed a Lync Server.

Manager users in lync 2013 with vbs

Hi all!
In powershell is not so hard, but, to our company standards I need write this solution in vb script and i didnt found any usefull snipett. My need is
1. add a lync user if it is member of a specific AD group
2. remove that user if it was removed from that group or if the account was disabled in AD
so, i wonder a script that runs scheduled and that check who is member of that group... if all accounts in group are present in lync, do nothing (but, if lync account is disabled, remove the account from group)... if any new member in group, so add it on
lync... and, finally, if there is any account in lync that is not present in group or it has disabled so remove from lync.
Thanks all!

Sorry, but this isn't a script on demand forum.

Lync 2013 & Skype Integration 3rd Party Cert. Requirement

hi to all
I am a liitle bit confused about the Trusted Certificate (public certificate) need for the Lync 2013 server and Skype integration.
Our problem is trying to Integrate Skype with our Lync 2013. We configured Lync Edge and Lync Backendserver with internal Certification Authority Certifcates ,we finished provisioning Lync 2013 with Skype according to the "http://www.microsoft.ctom/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39071"
document and we received answer from Microsoft that we ıntegration is finished.
But we could not make any call or add contacts either from Skype no Lync client.
Some forums say that we had to integrate Trusted Certificates to our Lync Edge server (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/ec3142cb-179a-427d-909c-135052621043/how-to-deploy-the-federation-with-skype?forum=ocsmobility)
But I could not see in official documents.Can someone lead me the correct way to do this ?
Thanks

You will need to change the external Edge certificate to a public issued UC/SAN certificate. Without a public cert the remote party (in this case the MSN/Skype servers) won't be able to establish trust and will fail.
You can do this by re-running the Lync Deployment Tool & Request/Assign Certificates
Here is a walk through:
http://www.digicert.com/csr-creation-lync-2013.htm
http://www.digicert.com/ssl-certificate-installation-lync-2013.htm
Because you are replacing, you will need to restart your Edge services afterwards for it to take effect (You can use Lync Management Shell and run Stop-CsWindowsService & Start-CsWindowsService)

I have setup lync 2013, configured skype federation (http://www.techtroubleshoot.com/federate-lync-server-with-skype/) and also done Lync provisioning. Skype federation worked for a few days (2weeks) and then stopped. Currently I am getting the following

Ports are open on the firewall. I however still get the error.

Verify from following:
you can telnet to your sip domain on port 5061 and 443 from external and resolve of nslookup to srv record of sipfederation is correct.
Certificate on Edge Server not expire or damaged.

Lync 2013 - Skype for business User Interface

Hello,
We are using Lync 2013 with Lync 2013 server with CU from August 2014 (so not ready for Skype for Business).
I have installed latest Desktop Updates for Windows and Office, and now everytime we log on we get the Skype for Business UI with the question to restart the client with the Lync UI.
I have followed the recommendation in this article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn954919.aspx
I have set this:
In the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync] key, create a new
Binary value.
The Value name must be EnableSkypeUI, and the
Value data must be set to 00 00 00 00.
But this settings seems to be completely ignored... doesn't do anything.
We can't set the policy on the server, as the server is not yet up-to-date and doesn't know about a Skype UI policy.
Can somebody please tell me how I can start the updated Lync / Skype for Business client with the Lync UI as a default (without disturbing the user with the restart-the-client pop-up)?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
As mentioned the Lync Server is not up-to-date, based on my knowledge this is why the issue occurs.
Please refer to this article below:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn954919.aspx
You can configure the client experience only if you are running Lync Server 2013 with the December 2014 Cumulative Update (5.0.8308.857) or later installed. The latest one is:
KB 3036869 February 2015 Cumulative Update 5.0.8308.871 for Lync Server 2013 Core Management Server.
You can specify the client experience the users in your organization will see by using the
Set-CSClientPolicy cmdlet with the EnableSkypeUI parameter:
Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -EnableSkypeUI $true
