Office 365 - Lync

I have Office 365 Home edition. I am trying to use Lync but in my Outlook I have no icon to set up an Online Meeting. I have followed instructions
to look in add-ons for this functionality but I can see nothing that will help. Do I need to upgrade to Office 365 Business or is there another solution?

Hi,
Office 365 Home edition doesn’t integrate with Lync client.
You can refer to the link below about Office 365 Home edition:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/home-premium/
You need to update at least to Office 365 Small Business Premium.
You can refer to the link below:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/business/office-365-small-business-premium-office-online-FX103037625.aspx
The forum you posted is for Lync Server On Premise only. The issue is more related to Office 365, you can also post a question on Office365 forum for assistance. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Error during the migration of Lync 2013 onpremise user to Office 365 Lync

    Hi,
    I am trying to migrate a Lync 2013 onpremise user to Office 365 Lync in a Hybrid environment.
    I am connecting to the Lync server from my machine with the following commands
    $lyncOptions = New-PSSessionOption -SkipRevocationCheck -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck
    $lync = New-PSSession -ConnectionUri https://lyncserver/ocspowershell -SessionOption $lyncOptions -Authentication NegotiateWithImplicitCredential
    Import-PSSession $lync
    In the next step I am trying to migrate the user to the Office 365 Lync:
    Move-CsUser -Identity "username" -Target 'sipfed.online.lync.com' -HostedMigrationOverrideUrl 'https://admin1e.online.lync.com/HostedMigration/hostedmigrationservice.svc'
    After that I get a warning message due to to migration to a previous version which I accept.
    WARNING: Moving a user from the current version to an earlier version (or to a service version) can cause data loss.
    Confirm
    Move-CsUser
    [Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [?] Help (default is "Y"): y
    Then I am getting the following error message:
    Can not load Live Id module. Make sure correct version of Live Id Sign-in assistant is installed.
        + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Move-CsUser], CommonAuthException

       ts.MoveOcsUserCmdlet
        + PSComputerName        : lyncserver
    Tried to Google it but found nothing.
    As far as I can see it is complaining about the Live ID Sign-in assistant, which is installed (the 64bit version) on my computer but not on the remote server. Does it need to be installed on the server as well?
    Thanks for the answers in advance.

    This error related to reporting services, you need to verify that reporting services is installed on these instances.
    Secondly, you didn't need to create this instance manually then setup monitoring role. delete this instance from shared storage and try again to setup rule using different instance name and it will create automatic on shared storage.

  • Office 365 Lync and AD photo setting.

    Hi all
    We have Office 365 and ADFS and we use Lync online 365.
    How we can force the Lync client using only AD´s photo?
    Please help.

    From My understanding using Dirsync has limit on the size of photo it can sync from on-premise AD 
    thumbnailphoto
    Read
    Read
    Persons Photo - 10kb maximum size limit
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2256198
    Office 365 customers can set the thumbnailPhoto attribute in on-premise Active Directory to have user photos synchronized to Office 365 via Directory Synchronization (DirSync). Exchange Online limits photo size to 10KB. The script sample obtains photo size
    from Active Directory

  • Just moved from in house ocs 2007 R2 to office 365 lync 2013, I'm clear to "unprep" right?

    We've just migrated from in house ocs 2007 r2 to office 365 w lync 2013.  We are using dirsync to sync our AD with o365.
    We'd like to decommission our OCS 2007 server since its no longer being used. Will running unprep impact our hosted lync 2013 setup given that we are using dirsync?  I don't think it should, but just want to confirm.
    Any advice appreciated.

    Hi MC625,
    In my opinion, unprep is not necessary and I suggest you should not perform this action.
    I haven't seen an unprep referenced in the migration from OCS to Lync 2013 articles.

  • Office 365 Lync Online / Skype For Business Journaling

    Hello, 
    From what I have found in my research, there is no way to journal Lync Online / Skype For Business IMs with Office 365.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  Is anyone doing this by way of workaround or 3rd part product?  
    Thanks in advance. 
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Thanks for the clear dialogue and responses.
    I want upgrade from Skype to Skype for Business, BUT want to retain my Skype ID (which is printed on my business cards) and existing contact connections.
    My situation is similar to Jim Carpenter's, in that I've used Skype for years.  I have it linked to my old Microsoft account that I'd set up for the old SkyDrive (now OneDrive) product. When I bought Office 365 Business Premium (includes Skype for Business), it necessitated creating a second Microsoft ID using the suffix [e-mail removed for privacy and security] to set up my new business account. That is a different login than my existing Skype login tied to the original MS account, and the new one not only accesses the MS programs, it accesses Exchange, through which I run Outlook calendar and contacts.
    So, are these the steps I should take?
    Unlink my existing Skype account
    then uninstall Skype
    then install Skype for Business
    I would guess that there would need to be a re-linking step of some sort, too, but I'm unclear on this.  Guidance?
    Please confirm that is the best path.  Will this process allow me to migrate the Skype ID and contacts to the business app?
    Thanks much.

  • Mixing on-premise and Office 365 Lync deployment - slightly complicated

    Hi,
    I wonder if anyone could help with a configuration/deployment issue we've got.
    The environment has some slight complications so bear with me:
    We have a small development environment say called, XYZ.com - unfortunately when it was created the domain was actually called XYZ.com rather than something like XYZ.local. That aside it's a small environment hosting an on-premise Exchange and Lync deployment.
     Exchange does not handle email for XYZ.com domain instead it uses a different domain, say for example, XYZtest.com. Lync works fine if I login using the XYZtest.com email address sip.
    There is also a separate Office 365 deployment which so happens to also use the XYZ.com which is used by various people dotted around the world as part of the organisation. This has both and Exchange and Lync online service.
    My question is - how can I use Lync to login to both my local, on-premise Lync service as well as the Lync Online service? I don't necessarily need the logged in simultaneously - I just need to be able to login to either service.
    What DNS config should I be have? (ie. SRV, CNAME records, etc.)
    Also the other thing to note is that there is potential for confusion as both the local domain XYZ.com is the same used for the Office 365 one and so need to ensure I can force Lync to keep them seperated.
    Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    E

    Yes If you have the latest updates installed for the Lync you can at a time you can login to one Lync setup 
    for each sip domain wether online or or premise you need the following DNS records 
    For all clients except for the Lync Windows Store app During DNS lookup, SRV records are queried and returned to the client in the following order:
    lyncdiscoverinternal.<domain>   A (host) record for the Autodiscover service on the internal Web services
    lyncdiscover.<domain>   A (host) record for the Autodiscover service on the external Web services
    _sipinternaltls._tcp.<domain>   SRV (service locator) record for internal TLS connections
    _sipinternal._tcp.<domain>   SRV (service locator) record for internal TCP connections (performed only if TCP is allowed)
    _sip._tls.<domain>   SRV (service locator) record for external TLS connections
    sipinternal.<domain>   A (host) record for the Front End pool or Director, resolvable only on the internal network
    sip.<domain>   A (host) record for the Front End pool or Director on the internal network, or the Access Edge service when the client is external
    sipexternal.<domain>   A (host) record for the Access Edge service when the client is external

    That document is pretty old last modified March 2013 so I would say it's out of date. The reporting services are still pretty new in the current release I believe 7 days is limit for the Rest Endpoint and the Get-MessageTrace cmdlet (which is what
    the more recent documentation around message tracking say) there is no REST endpoint for Start-HistoricalSearch you can see all the current endpoints by looking at the Metadata via
    https://reports.office365.com/ecp/reportingwebservice/reporting.svc/$metadata
    These services are evolving so new features and reports are added which is explained in
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/jj984346(v=office.15).aspx . But there is no public information on Timeframes and what reports and features are going to be added in future updates (that I know of). If you need data older then
    7 days then Automating the HistoricalSearch cmdlets would be the way to do it for now.

  • Need assistance creating applications with superseedence to uninstall Office 2010, Lync 2010 and then install Office 365 click to run 2013

    We are getting ready in a few months to uninstall our locally installed Office 2010 and head to the cloud with Office 365 2013. I have created applications to uninstall Office 2010 and Lync 2010 and then added them to the supersedence tab for Office 365
    office 2013 click to run with appv5.
    When deploying the office 365 2013 application it does not uninstall office 2010 or lync 2010 with the supersedence.  I am able to manually uninstall Office 2010 and Lync 2010 with the command lines I am using in the applications.
    The application uninstall for Office 2010 is:
    The application uninstall is an exe so I created an application, created a deployment type with the location of our Office 2010 admin point, installation program and uninstall program are set with the same line as I have tried to deploy it separately and
    also as a supersedence in the Office 365 application setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config "\\sccmserver\share\Office2010\ProPlus.ww\silentuninstallconfig.xml.  The silentuninstallconfig.xml was created from the original config.xml file and edited
    to these settings:<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
     <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="NO" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
     <Setting Id="Reboot" Value="Never" />
     <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />
     <OptionState Id="ProductFiles" State="Local" Children="force" />
     </Configuration>
    The detection method is the folder path to see that office 14 exists.  When I deploy this the machines finish with success showing this exists, but does not uninstall Office 2010.
    running the command line manually mapped to this location on a machine uninstalls office 2010 without issue. 
    Lync 2010 uninstall:
    Lync is an exe so I am using the LyncSetup.exe /silent /uninstall.  The application is in the supersedence tab for Office 365 2013. This never installs.  If I create a softare distribution and deploy it on its own it uninstalls without issue. 
    We are going to use Lync 2013 with our office 365 2013 installation so we need to uninstall this.  The detection method for lync is file system folder and the Microsoft lync folder for detection.
    MS Office 15 (Office 365) was created with the click to run tool.  I can install this with the application I created using the appv5 package created with the click to run tool.  The issue is we need Office 2010 and Lync 2010 uninstalled first. 
    Having both versions of Office installed in test has caused issues where Office 15 365 will not list in add and remove programs and cannot be uninstalled even with the fix it article to remove office 2013. 
    I have looked at many articles and so far it is not working for us.  Any help appreciated to get us to the cloud.
    Thanks,
    Brit

    The applications I have for uninstall of office 2010 and Lync 2010 for some reason do not uninstall. Manually testing the command lines they do.  The detection method seems to be hanging things up.  On the lync uninstall detection method I have
    the setting type of file system, type folder, path c:\program files\ folder name Microsoft Lync.
    I highly recommend using something other than a file/folder "exists" detection method. Installers are constantly leaving things behind due to environmental inconsistencies. It may leave files/folders behind with a schedule to delete files on next reboot.
    These things are unpredictable and very hard to use. I just use the "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" Registry location. There you can actually key off the "Product Version" DWORD as well which gives you an even more accurate method
    to determine if the application you are trying to deploy (or expect to exist) is truly there. This, of course, being if you are not using an MSI. If you have MSI technology ALWAYS use the product code unless the person writing the MSI chooses to use the same
    product code for every version release of their product. In which case, Use the registry method.
    As far as getting the supersedence and everything working. You need to start from the basics. Create Applications for all of the apps you want to remove. Make sure they install and uninstall properly (seems like overkill but it isn't that hard). Once you
    have working install/uninstall applications then you can easily apply supersedence to your new applications with a setting of Uninstall on the superseded apps you should have no problem getting rid of them. I have done this for numerous things.
    For example, I did this with Cisco Jabber to replace older versions of jabber, older versions of cisco unified personal communicator and lync and OSC. All of these replaced versions had to have an Application but once it was in it took two seconds to apply
    all the supersedence rules and now I know when I push that software out no matter version is running on any machine it will pull all the old apps off and put the new one on.

  • Lync 2013 and Office 365 - Desktop Client not showing contact pictures but online and mobile does.

    Hello
    I have gone so far of opening a support call with Microsoft but they don't know how to fix the problem also so I was wondering if anybody has a fix for me.
    We have only about 25 users using Office 365 Mid Size Business - We don't have the AD Intergrated yet - that will be at a later date. So I am not doing any of this thumb photos in AD which I have read about.
    So about 15-16 of the machines work fine, We have the Desktop Office 2013 installed , and in Lync everybody can see everybody's contact photo.
    We have the rest which works perfect apart from showing the contact photo's - All settings are the same - When these users use the Online Web Lync or iPAD Lync, all photos are displayed....it is just on the desktop.
    Like I said Microsoft spent an hour on a workstation and don't know what the fix is - we did all the deletion of the SIP Dir in the c:\users\username\appdata\microsoft\office\15.0\lync - For me , I don't see this as a game changer since all aspects of Lync
    work for IM, Conference, Presentation - however I am guessing some of my users want to stare at pictures all day :-)
    I would like to know am I the only person getting this?

  • Office 365 ProPlus App-V 5.0 Package installs Lync, Outlook, Infopath and Onenote even though they are not selected for publishing

    I have created an App-V 5.0 Package for Office 365 ProPlus using the documentation provided here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219422.aspx
    I am able to load the App-V Package into my SCCM 2012 SP1 environment and deploy the package to a test machine
    Within SCCM, I have configured the deployment type to only select a couple of applications.  Notice that Lync, Outlook, Infopath and Onenote are not selected.
    http://i.imgur.com/1eMxUlY.jpg
    For my deployment type, I only selected Word, Excel and Powerpoint.  Looking at my test machine, those 3 applications now show up in my start screen.
    http://i.imgur.com/amZmxAT.jpg
    I don't see any of the other Office applications be default on my start screen, so I would think all looks good.  If I type another Office application, lets say access at the start screen I get, "No apps match your search."
    http://i.imgur.com/fxbWEvb.jpg
    But if I type Lync, Outlook, Infopath or Onenote, it shows me that those applications are available, and I can launch them as an App-V application just as I could Excel, Word or Powerpoint, the applications that I wanted to have available.
    This is not what I was expecting when I went through the trouble to create an App-V package.  It looks like almost all of the apps become available on my client machine, all App-V is doing is making the application button in the start screen a little
    harder to find.
    What is interesting is that for the applications I did want published, I can search for them by just entering a few letters of the application name, and they show up with the 2013 version label, see below for an example search for Word.
    http://i.imgur.com/0LeS05z.jpg
    For the applications that I did not publish but still show up on my client, I have to type in the full name of the application for the launch button to come up.  For example, I can't type lyn and expect to see Lync, but if i type lync I will get an
    option to launch the application.  The same goes for Outlook, Infopath and Onenote, and when you do type in the full namke of the app, it doesn't show the version number like Word does as Word 2013, it just shows Lync, or Outlook, or Infopath, or
    Onenote.
    http://i.imgur.com/QV1afuc.jpg
    vs
    http://i.imgur.com/PxgSmUc.jpg
    Can anyone from Microsoft confirm that this is expected behavior.  If this is to be expected this is pretty disappointing, because a main point of the App-V package is it is the only way to limit which applications are deployed via Office 365 ProPlus
    but from what I can tell, it really isn't limiting anything beyond the start screen for most cases.

    So it looks like the config xml files are the best option
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/12/02/announcing-app-v-5-0-sp2-support-for-office-2013-volume-licensing-editions.aspx
    You can now use the Deployment Configuration file to configure the Office installation. One question I often get is, “How do I disable msaccess.exe or infopath.exe from an Office install if I am not using the MSI package?” This can be done by modifying the
    Deployment Configuration file in App-V with entries like the following:
    <Application Id="[(AppVPackageRoot}]\office15\MSACCESS.EXE" Enabled="false">
      <VisualElements>
        <Name>Access 2013</Name>
        <Icon />
        <Description />
      </VisualElements>
    </Application>
    That will prevent App-V from publishing msaccess.exe on the system and/or you can remove any undesired application shortcuts from publishing on the targeted computer using the shortcuts properties by deleting or commenting them out. Once you’ve configured your
    Deployment and User Configuration files, you’ll have everything you need to import the packages into your App-V environment to start testing.

  • Problems with Lync integration in App-V Package for Office 365 ProPlus

    We have problems with setting Lync 2013 to automatic start after Windows start with Office 365 ProPlus App-V Package made by Office Deployment Tool. We use latest version for both (ODT and download package) at Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
    We have done this for Lync 2010 and also for Lync 2013 (MSI installations) and it works correctly.
    User can choose to start Lync automatically, but this settings is ignored and in virtual registry is set wrong. We look for possible ways to set this by GPO (in ADMX is not this option available) by inserting in virtual registry with Package ID and user
    SID in registry path.

    Usually setting apps to auto start sets a registry key under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, but since this registry key is inside the virtual environment, Windows does not read it at logon.
    The workaround is to either set this key in the native registry (perhaps by an App-V script), or easier still, just copy the shortcut to the Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder. Since you can't really modify Office 2013 packages with the sequencer, you'd
    have to add this shortcut by modifying the deployment config file.

    Hi there,
    It really sounds like network connectivity issues, like firewall or DNS.
    Have you tried to connect the clients from another network?
    Additionally, have you been trough this help document?
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/lync-help/troubleshooting-lync-online-sign-in-errors-administrators-HA102892879.aspx
    There is also a KB with a lot of resources for troubleshooting Lync Online sign-in issues
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2541980/en
    Best of luck :)
