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

  • 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.

  • Deploying Lync 2013 client and SCCM Detection method

    So I am deploying the stand alone Lync 2013 client via SCCM 2012 R2, I have used OCT to create a .MSP, and I am trying to import it into SCCM.  However, I am curious as to what others are using for the Detection method?  Normally I would just
    use the MSI code, but since there is no single MSI, that is not possible with this particular version?  I'm not sure what the best method would be, Option 1 is to find a registry key that is installed by Lync, or Option 2, use a file, maybe Lync.exe under
    the Program Files?

    From the testing I've done Lync creates this reg location...
    HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Office>15.0>Lync
    Try using one of the keys in there, or you could use the file version but not sure if this would change with updates.

    Great follow up thanks!.
    Seems i am near to solution. 
    I used web site url https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com it pass all test,
    When i use to test using tool it goes to my local fqdn and says unable to resolve. 
    An error occurred while sending the request.
    The remote name could not be resolved: 'lync1.hosting.mydomain.local'
    When i open this url  lyncdiscover_contoso.com it give both internal and extral url. 
    Which is this {"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://lync1.hosting.mydomain.local/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root?originalDomain=haxxess.com"},"user":{"href":"https://lync01.externaldomain.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root/oauth/user?originalDomain=external.com"},"xframe":{"href":"https://lync01.externaldomain.com/Autodiscover/XFrame/XFrame.html"}}}
    I am using lync 2013, with no tmg for publishing, internal web servie name is empty overrite and extranal is lync01.externaldomain.com 
    So as article says if i see internal url If the internal web services URL is identified, the web publishing rule is incorrect and is bridging the connection to port 443
    instead of port 4443 for the Lync external web services.
    Where do i have to change this in topology under web service. can you please guide this last phase. 

  • Lync 2013 Client and Outlook 2010

    Hi, I installed Lync 2013 (FE and Edge server). I am able to talk but still I need to buy suitable certificate in order to access from outside. Rest of the network is as follow. SBS 2011 with exchange 2010, clients have Office 2010.
    Problems that I noticed are:
    - If in Calelendar there is appointment, Lync client shows still available
    - Lync meeting button doesn't react when pressed.
    Is Lync 2013 client backward compatible with older office/Exchange or not ?
     

    For presence show doesn't integrate with outlook, Verify that the
    Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office is installed and enabled in Microsoft Outlook.
    For lync 2013 client compatible with office and Exchange, you can refer below link

  • Disable Lync 2013 Client and Exchange 2010 Integration

    Is it possible to disable integration to Exchange 2010 from a Lync 2013 client?  I found a key that works for Lync 2010 by setting HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Communicator\PersonalContactStoreOverride to 1.  That does not seem to do anything
    to a Lync 2013 client, nor have I been able to find a solution to disable it via Registry/GPO.  Some things I have found seem to indicate that key does is not used by a Lync 2013 client but that is somewhat speculation.  Can someone tell me if there
    is a key to disable this connectivity and disable it like what the key above does for 2010?  Thank you!

    Create a new-csclientpolicyentry -name "PersonalContactStoreOverride" -value "1" and assign it to a Client Policy

  • Lync 2013 client still show titles that is turned off on Lync 2010 server

    Hi All
    I have another unique issue it seems.
    Environment - Lync Server 2010 on CU5. Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 client.
    The client has used absconfig and removed the titles as the don't want that to be displayed.
    The lync 2010 clients does not show the titles - so that is working.
    Lync 2013 from external access the titles does not show - so that is working.
    Internally on the LAN the Job Titles shows on the Lync 2013 client - so not working.
    What I've tried so far :
    Disabled exchange contact sync on a client policy
    Used webdownload only for address book.
    Using registry to force download of address book.
    Deleted the Lync folder on the client computer to make sure when it downloads the .idx and .db file that it is the latest version.
    None of the above remediations seems to have any impact on the lync 2013 client.
    I have tried to replicate this in my lab (without an exchange server) and the the lycn 2010 and 2013 clients behave as they should be not displaying the job titles.
    Having anyone come across this before?
    I will be patching the lync 2010 server to the latest CU update, but I think the issue is somewhere else.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Regards
    Danie

    Hi Danie,
    I suggest you could install the latest CU update first, because the CU update would fix many problems.
    In addition, shall we test Lync 2013 on a fresh computer without Outlook?(You could test this using Lync 2013 Basic).
    Best regards,

  • Lync 2013 Client Can't Expand Distro Group (externally)

    I have a Lync 2010 FE and Edge server with the web servcies being published via UAG 2010.  I am testing the Lync 2013 client and the DG (distro group) expansion is failing externally.  I get the error in the client "Cannot use the distribution
    group service becasue the service address is incorrect, although the service is available. Contact your...."  Distribution group expansion works fine externally with the 2010 client.  The web servcie address for DG Extneral does work via the web
    browser as expected.  Any ideas? 
    Thanks

    Did you migrate from Lync server 2010 to Lync server 2013?
    If so, please check you have create DNS record for the Lync server 2013 external web service point to the NATed public IP address of Lync Front end server.
    Check whether the internal web service for distributed group works.
    Check whether ABS for Lync 2013 works.

    please help
    thanks

    Hi,
    From your description above, there is something wrong during the deployment of Edge Server.
    To avoid routing issues, make sure there are at least two network adapters in your Edge Servers and that the default gateway is set only on the network adapter associated with the external interface.
    You can configure two network adapters in your Edge Server as follows:
    Network adapter 1 (Internal Interface)
    For example: Internal interface with 172.25.33.10 assigned.
    No default gateway is defined.
    Ensure that there is a route from the network containing the Edge internal interface to any networks that contain servers running Lync Server 2013 or Lync Server 2013 clients.
    Network adapter 2 (External Interface)
    Three private IP addresses are assigned to this network adapter, for example 10.45.16.10 for Access Edge, 10.45.16.20 for Web Conferencing Edge, 10.45.16.30 for AV Edge.

  • Lync 2013 Client Not Display Numbers in Contact Card

    Hi
    I have a problem where Lync 2013 client connecting to Lync 2010 backend appears not download the contact list completely. Lync 2010 clients are all operating normally.  On Lync 2010 client, you can view all contact details including Enterprise Voice
    numbers and cell numbers for all users. However on Lync 2013 clients, Lync contact details for some users do not populate completely. In most cases, Enterprise numbers/Work Numbers/Mobile Numbers are missing.  If the contact is pinned then the details
    are retrieved.
    In cases where Work/Voice/Cell numbers are not displayed, affected users is limited to making lync to lync  calls only. The user can still dial the number  and get through without any issues.
    I have deleted and contacts cache on Lync 2013 but this has not helped.
    Regards

    Hi,
    How about check the contact of “Outlook Test” user from the Lync 2010 client?
    According to the second screenshot, since it’s an external account, the information will be limited.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Lync 2013 client - Set people to "Blocked Contacts" relationship by default?

    We are in the process of implementing Lync Server 2013 (on-premises). We have already implemented one front end pool and one edge pool and successfully tested the basic functionality.  Now we are moving on to configuring the various policies based
    on our requirements. One requirement that has come late in the planning is to prevent people from receiving IMs unless they explicitly allow people to IM them and to have the ability to whitelist IMs from people on an individual basis.  This is a feature
    that was submitted as a requirement by way of our IT HelpDesk manager.
    From what I gather, this could be accomplished if someone had the ability to set the default to the "Blocked Contacts" relationship for everyone instead of "Colleagues".  In my research on how to set that as the default, I found
    a setting "ShowManagePrivacyRelationship" in Set-CsClientPolicy.  I created a new per-user client policy called "TEST" and applied it to myself.  Then I set ShowManagePrivacyRelationShip to $true via PowerShell on the TEST policy. 
    However, even hours after making the change and signing out and back into the Lync 2013 client, I still don't see any change in functionality or new options.
    Now, if I instead sign in with the Lync 2010 client, I can indeed see a "Manage Privacy Relationships" option in a drop-down near the right side of the client which takes me to a view where I can see and move "People in my company" and
    "People in domains connected to my company" pseudo-contacts from the "Colleagues" relationship to "Blocked Contacts" and this accomplishes exactly what we want to do.
    Where can I find the "Manage Privacy Relationship" setting in Lync 2013 client?  If there is no setting called that, how can I accomplish what I am trying to do using Lync 2013?
    I would rather not use the Lync 2010 client, as our HelpDesk technicians all use Windows 8.1 and Office 2013.

    David:
    Yes, I have all of those relationships categories in Lync 2013.  What I am missing is the ability to set the rest of the organization to
    Blocked Contacts by default.  I can do this with the Lync 2010 client using the same user login and the same Lync Server 2013 environment.
    The following image demonstrates the location of the Manage Privacy Relationships option I would like to leverage in Lync 2013.  The image is of the Lync 2010 client.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0g83i9su9e5zox/Manage_Privacy_Relationships.png
    If I click that Manage Privacy Relationships option, I end up on the following screen.  Note that there is a
    People in my company object under Colleagues.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkatgtoexea7evt/Default_Privacy_Relationships.png
    I am able to move that People in my company object to another relationship option.  I moved it to
    Blocked Contacts, as you can see below.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/956kw0ih15uksgr/People_In_Company_Blocked.png
    As you can see in the following image, after making this change if I do not have a person on my Contacts list, they are unable to IM me.  As you can see in my Lync 2013 client relationships list, no one is in my
    Blocked Contacts list yet the Lync Test Account is being blocked due to the fact that I put People in my company there and haven't added them to my Contacts list.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/cue09wjj8tidbau/Blocked.png
    After adding the Lync Test Account to my Contacts list, the Lync Test Account is able to IM me.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/nalju5ia980lc30/Unblocked.png
    I hope these images help make clear that there seems to be a capability present in the Lync 2010 client that I am unable to locate in the Lync 2013 client.  I can't find this
    Manage Private Relationships option anywhere in the Lync 2013 client or any other option that lets me see those People in my company and People in domains connected with my company objects.
    With regards to the EnablePrivacyMode option, I am already aware of it and that is not what we are looking for.

  • Lync 2013 client is deployed but user accounts are not migrated from OCS to Lync 2013 Server - how to open Lync meetings automatically in the Lync Web Plug-in

    We have in our enterprise the following scenario:
    1 - Lync 2013 client is installed
    2 - User accounts are not migrated to Lync 2013 Server, users are using Office Communicator as their main tool
    3 - Users receive Lync 2013 meeting requests but when try to access them, Lync 2013 client launches and shows error. Users will need to open the browser and paste the URL to the address bar but this still open
    4 - We cannot use the workaround of adding "?SL=1" to the Lync 2013 meeting URL as the user base is large and manual workaround is not accepted
    5 - Question: is there any automated way, via egistry key or GPO setting, so that users temporarily (until their accounts are migrated to Lync 2013 server) can bypass Lync 2013 client completely and automatically open all Lync 2013 meetings
    on the browser, using Lync Web Plug-in?

    Thanks for the response,
    First, I should have mentioned clearly that users have Office Communicator 2007 client and Lync 2013 client installed in their machines. Their accounts are not migrated yet to Lync 2013 server.
    Second, we are using IE9 and IE10. The issue is that users CAN join Lync 2013 meetings with their browsers but have to paste the URL manually to browser and add "?SL=1" otherwise, if they just click at the "Join Online Meeting" or "Join
    Lync Meeting" URL it launches Lync 2013 client which shows error because is not configured yet, as they are using OCS client and migrating slowly to Lync 2013 server.
    Is there a Group Policy setting or a registry key from Microsoft that can be turned on to these users machines and make will all Lync meeting requests to be opened in IE browser instead of Lync 2013 client. We need a way to ignore
    Lync 2013 client until user accounts are migrated to Lync 2013 Server. Manually typing URLs is not an option in a big organization, can't explain thousands of users of different levels what to do.
    We are regretting the decision not to separate Lync 2013 from Office 2013 package we deployed recently. If Lync 2013 is uninstalled then all Lync meeting requests are opened in browser without an issue.

  • Dial-In Conferencing page does not open from Lync 2013 client

    Hello Everyone,
    I am facing this strange issue with my Lync Clients. All the users started experiencing the same behavior. So, I think this has something to do at the Server side.
    Earlier, when trying to open the Dial-in conferencing settings from the Lync Client (Tools --> Dial-in conferencing settings), it would automatically open the Dial-In conferencing settings in a new web page. But, recently this is not happening. The strange
    thing is I will be able to open the dial-in conferencing settings manually from a web browser by typing in the URL.
    Has anyone experienced similar issues in the past? I would appreciate any ideas regarding this from your part so that I can try to resolve this. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Try to rerun Step 2-Setup or Remove Lync Server Components and then test again.
    Check if Lync Address Book update to the latest status.
    Make sure all Lync 2013 client update to the version.

  • Lync 2010 client and Office 2013

    I have Office 2013 installed minus Lync 2013 and have Lync 2010 installed in its place, we have a Lync 2010 infrastructure and are planning on upgrading our customers’s workstations to office 2013 and maintaining the Lync 2010
    clients.
    Is it expected behavior in this scenario to get prompted with the “Join the meeting using your web browser”, “Download and install Lync Attendee” & “Use Communicator” page when attpempting to join a meeting?
    Thanks….  

    Thanks for the reply.
    The reason that we though to stay with the Lync 2010 client is that we were told that the Lync 2013 client only communicates to the Lync 2010 back-end via the Lync Edge servers. In looking at the Lync 2013 client configuration
    information I see that Inside User Status: True which looks like it might not be communicating via the Edge servers.
    Is this a valid reason not to push forward with Lync 2013 client while still having Lync 2010 back-end?
    Thanks…
