I am not receiving contact request

Hi, My friend is using a paid version of skype and she cant seem to add me. She said she has sent the request but i have yet to receive any, this does not only happen to me. She cant even add her cousin as well help!

Hi, Can you clarify what you mean by paid version? the Skype software itself is free and if she has paid for it then she is likely not using Skype. Assuming that she is using skype can you please recheck that she has added the correct skype name or microsoft account to her contacts? Thanks

Not receiving contact request

Hi All, I am using skype for mac, my friend has just got skype for business. She tried adding me and i cant seem to recieve her add request. I tried searching for her and i cant find her as well can someone help me out please i have checked that i am using the most updated version

Hi, Thanks for posting, as i understand it for you to add her and her to add you then her business has to have enabled it in their Skype for Business Server settings, see adding external Contacts for guidance. If she believes this has been configured and her System admin confirms the same then can you provide some examples of what you are using to search for her (please do not use actual ids). Kind regards

Some delegates not receiving meeting requests

Hello,
I have an odd issue where there are 3 delegates assigned to a conference room Room Mailbox. It is setup in the correct way for in policy requests and out of policy requests and Recourse booking attendant is turned on.
Only 1 of the three users is receiving the approval requests.
Anyone have any idea why my 2 other users are not receiving the approval requests? They each have full access permissions to the room mailbox and they are listed in the delegates for this mailbox.
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,
Please run the following command for this room mailbox ro check the calendar processing configuration:
Get-CalendarProcessing roomA | fl
Please make sure these 3 delegates are all listed in ResourceDelegates paremeter. If the configuration is not correct, please run Set-CalendarProcessing cmdlet to configure it.
If all configurations are proper, please remove all delegates then re-add it back to have a try.

Receiving contact requests.

Alright so my friend once lived in Australia with me she then moved to America. I only use Skype to chat with her but for about 4 weeks now I have been getting contact requests NON STOP from creepy old men claiming to be "U.S Army Veterans" I am really creeped out. I have blocked all of them. I have changed my privacy settings but it still hasn't stopped them. I have no clue who they are and I am really creeped out. How can I stop this?!

This is an old problem http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/Strangers-keep-contacting-me/td-p/620247/pa...
I have the same issue. I have always had all my privacy/IM/Video settings set to contact only. I do not have an MSN account so the crossover issue mentioned in the thread I linked, whatever that was, isn't it.
I asked the last one how he got my contact details. After lying that I'd given them to him, he absolutely refused to answer.
First he said I must have given him the info in another group (I don't know him from Adam, very creepy shot-in-the-dark from him, since I DON'T use skype except to call my family's landlines in the UK via subscription - if that was true, why not open with a "Hi it's xxx from site yyy"?)
I said that was impossible, he said, "Hmmmn. Don't know."
I said, "How did you know what contact name to add? Go on, I promise I won't be cross "
He said "I don't know what to tell you."
At that point I thanked him for his time and blocked him.
I don't get a lot, and it's strange how they do _seem_ to be army. I don't for a second think they are. There are scamers out there using US army guys faces to borrow credibility to get you to talk to them.
In which case, they are probably finding contact names by doing to places like dating sites and running through the username lists they find there. If your skype contact id is not unique to skype, you can be contact by guesswork, basically. Skype can't fix that.
Skype CAN fix that the last one IM-ed me and he's not in my contact list, contrary to my provacy settings. That suggests there's an exploit in skype's security that is being hacked, possibly by an organised effort since the type of contact is so consistent.
My advice to average user bearing the brunt of this - since we are the actualy target and what they want is money - is to save the conversation, then block and report, and post the convo here if you can so the community can get a handle on how widespread this is.
Never, ever give out personal identification info or money out online, not even if the person convinces you absolutely that you two are in love. They contact you, get real info and a background check but don't just take thier word for anything.
Ref: http://usmilitary.about.com/u/ua/justicelawlegislation/Are-You-A-Victim-Of-A-Romance-Scam.htm Scroll down to the name nj flinn - that post talk about use of army guys names in scams on skype.
Good luck and stay safe,
Mulberry

Office365 User not receiving Meeting Request Email (but shows in Calendar)

Hi,
We have one user (so far) who has successfully migrated from Exchange 2007 to 'Office365' but when you sent them an meeting request they do not get ANY email notification of it. No Spam, rules, junk email are affecting it. There are no delegates on the account.
I have removed the Office365 user license for them and then re-added it but made no difference.
If the user goes into the calendar they can actually 'see' the meeting and accept / decline it in there but we obviously need the user to get some email notification of it so they are aware of a meeting and now get a 'surprise' meeting they knew nothing about!
Other migrated users are able to receive email notifications of meeting requests without issue. There is just no trace of it for this user.

Hi Peter,
As per your description above, I understand that one user cannot receive meeting requests, instead, the meetings are placed on their calendar directly.
I would like to confirm that whether he/she configured the email account into any Outlook clients, or actually we are talking about the web-based Outlook in Office 365 portal?
If this is an issue in the Outlook desktop client, please check if you have ticked the option of
Automatically accept meeting requests and remove canceled meetings
under FILE>Options>Calendar>Auto Accept/Decline... Try untick it and verify again.
If Outlook client is not involved here, I would suggest you post your question in the forum of Office 365 Community - email and calendar, where you can get more experienced responses:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158.aspx
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
Hope this helps.

Cannot send or receive contact requests

[Topic title edited by Aimi]
I'm sure there alrady is a topic for this as I see Internet full of complaints about the same issue (without no decent solution!) but here is once again my version...
I have an old Scype account which I haven't used before. Yesterday I set up the Skype desktop client (Win 8.0), the latest version if it (checked and no newer updates available), and linked my existing Skype account with my Microsoft account. Had no connections at that time and since that (during today and yesterday) I've made 3 contact requests but not one of them can see my requests!! So, we tried it viceversa: they sent me the request - same result: I cannot see any of the requests!! I have checked the settings (one solution for exmple suggested that I should allow IMs from anyone - I did - no help). I also tried the app for mobile. Same result. Also tried to uninstall/re-install the Skype client. No help.
I don't need instructions how to search/add contacts - I know how to do that, the contacts requests just don't go through!! Help needed. Annoyed.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So I have windows 8.1 and using the latest desktop version of Skype. When I tell someone to add my Skype , I never get a notification or an option to add them. It has been happening to pretty much anyone who wants to add me. I also made sure in the notifications tab that contact request was checked. I can add other people fine its just hard to get in contact with them and asking for their Skype username so its more convenient giving them my Skype username. Anyone could please help me. Thanks!

Promotional Trade In Shipping Materials still not received - multiple requests!

I've been requesting the shipping material for my $200 iPhone promotional trade in since September 29th. I've visited the store to inquire once, used the contact us email at least 3 recorded times, and called the provided phone number 3 times as well. I'm beginning to think this is a total scam and Verizon has no intention of honoring the $200 promotional trade in they advertised.
All I have gotten is a bunch of excuses and no resolution. Zero Accountability! Verizon Wireless Customer Support

RaySJ I've been reading of quite a few people having this same problem on here. Have you tried calling a VZW Corporate store in your area to see if maybe they'll take it in for you and just issue the credit. $200 is a lot of money to see go away because of VZW not getting the shipping materials in a timely manner. I'd try calling a corporate store to see if they can help...some people have posted on here that they've had some success doing that when their materials didn't show up. Let us know if you try this method and if it works out for you as it'll be a bit more encouragement for others to do the same rather than waiting...

ISE 1.3 not receiving Radius requests from WLC 5508 ver 8.0.110.0

Hello all. I just implemented ISE 1.3 at a customer site. added a WLC running 8.0.110.0 using its mgmt address with a RADIUS preshared key. On the WLC, I created to SSIDs, corp and guest.
For corp I configured WPA2 and AES and forwarded Radius requests to my 2 ISE node PSN interfaces
For the guest I configured MAC filter with advanced features AAA overide and Radius NAC - per Cisco's documents
The corp forwards Radius requests to ISE, the guest does not. I get nothing from the guest.
I configured the WLC step by step from the Cisco document. I have completed over 10 ISE implementations in the last year using ISE 1.2 and WLC 7.x and have never run into this issue before.
Any help will be much appreciated.

This issue has been resolved. The issue was that for the guest SSID MAC filtering was enabled as required, but they had the test PCs on a mac filter bypass list for that SSID in the WLC. This was automatically authenticating the PC, and therefore not forwarding the RADIUS to ISE.
Once we removed the PC from the MAC filter list in the WLC, the authentications were forwarded to ISE as desired.

HT201089 I am setting up an Ipad for my child and downloading apps with Ask to Buy turned on. As the parent, I am not receiving notices/requests on my device

I have an ipad mini 2 with ios 8 and and iphone 5s with ios8
I am setting up the ipad for my child and the Ask to Buy feature is on in family sharing.
I am trying to download apps from the app store and it pops up the notification that I need to Ask to Buy and the request is being sent.
The request should be coming to my "parent" device, which happens to be my iphone correct ? I'm not seeing any sort of requests.
According to the posts I've read a request is only sent once.

Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

KMS issue – KMS not receiving Activation Requests from Servers

Hi,
I've got a very strange problem with KMS. I have recently inherited a SharePoint DMZ environment built using
Best Practices for Securing Active Directory and
CIS Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2. All the servers were built using MAK keys, which worked well enough until IT Security locked down firewall access. Now all the server are going non-genuine. My solution was to setup a KMS activation and
convert all the servers over. Seemed simple enough, even tested it in my Dev Lab no issues once the Windows Firewall was configured to allow KMS (TCP-in). So I set it up started converting servers to KMS, (slmgr /ipk). The client all Windows 2008 R2 Servers
started sending activation requests to the KMS machine, (Event ID: 12288). Here’s where the problems start, according to the firewall logs on the KMS Server it allows the request in but no Event ID: 12289’s are registered and the client display’s the
following: “Error: 0xC004F074 The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. The Key Management Service (KMS) in unavailable”.
Verified the KMS is active and listening on port 1688. Ran it again with Wire Shark installed and it showed the DCERPC protocol attempting to connect and getting “status: nca_s_fault_access_denied”. Began investigating RPC issues, found two RPC related GPO
entries in our Default Domain Policy and reference in the CIS benchmark referenced above.
Computer Configuration \ <policies> \ Administrative Templates \ System \ Remote Procedure Call
Restrictions for unauthenticated RPC clients
RPC endpoint mapper client authentication
Both are “Enabled” and the first is set with the following option:
"Authenticated without Exceptions".
So I proceeded to set these up in my Lab and… BOOM, killed my Lab environment. See
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2011/04/08/restrictions-for-unauthenticated-rpc-clients-the-group-policy-that-punches-your-domain-in-the-face.aspx
After I rebuilt my Lab, I determined the culprit was GPO entry #1 -
Restrictions for unauthenticated RPC clients -
Authenticated without Exceptions. My attempts at changing this option cause it to “hoop” my lab environment yet
again.
Question time:
Does anyone know how to change this option safely and to not cause the problems I’ve had?
Does anyone have any alternate methods or ideas for setting up KMS in an environment such as mine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
James

So we determined last this past Friday that I was mistaken, the GPO's in question were not in our Default Domain Policy as a thought...My apologize. They were however in our DMZ Base Server GPO, I was able to drop our KMS Server into a new
sub-OU (called KMS Activations) and then provide a GPO override in that OU for the following line:
Computer Configuration \ <policies> \ Administrative Templates \ System \ Remote Procedure Call\Restrictions for unauthenticated RPC clients
and set it to: "Authenticated".
Once we did this plus STOP and Start SPP Service, we ran Slmgr / ato on 5 servers to hit the threshold, the rest of the server activated on their own over the weekend.
Confirmed this morning, once we flipped the remaining servers over from MAK to KMS they activated on their own. Modifying our build template to have the KMS key now not the MAK.
Still not sure what grants KMS the exception to the GPO, assuming the Firewall?
The original was "Authenticated without Exceptions" verses the Current "Authenticated" so the only real difference is that exceptions are aloud if authorized
by something.
I appreciate the responses.

Find my Friends not receiving requests

I have installed find my friends app and setup icloud. I am not receiving friend requests in the app. My friends cant follow me but I can follow them. If I click on the request in my email it redirects to a page that says download the find my friends app. It is already installed. I have tried everyting I can think of...my sister's phone works but mine does not. Any suggestions? I am starting to get very frustrated with this app. Thanks!!

Appreciate that, but it's not as useful now. Many users have the same issue, also see

Let's get something quite clear. Even if you have your privacy settings for contacts only, these US generals contact requests get through. Blocking them does nothing to stem the flow of others. So many customers write in, do the right thing, but skype does nothing to sort the problem. Its so depressing. If only we had a choice so we could stop using Skype. Microsoft get your act together and DO something.
Unfortunately, the Privacy Settings in Skype can only prevent/stop unwanted calls/instant messages from non-contacts, not contact requests (which now also appears in the IM box/window).

Unwanted IMs and Contact requests

Hello,
I'm receiving contact requests and IMs from strangers.
I've double checked all my privacy settings and they are all set to "receive from contacts only".
Where else can I go? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Same here.. .apparently skyp doenst give a flip about it...
Ive asked this question 20 times (usually under other names per it was actually per clients..
This is the first ever under my own id.
I regularly have to deny 'requests' twice a week and at times more.
I currently have hundreds of requests blocked.. Im getting tired of it...
Unfortunatley skype is the only way I have to contact certain friends who are using skype as a workaround per them not being able to afford regular phone use, but have nearly unlimited internet options.
But this particular issue, as soon as skype gets competition, if not already... Im gone.
I had hoped skype workalikes would do it, but they mainly are skype passthrus.
I relize I can make myself invisible and that likely solves the problem.
BUt I need those who are my contacts to see that I am in fact online.
So while invisible might do... its not realistic....to me thats a fake workaround.
Contacts should be able to see you if they are contacts...period, even if invisible
