Possible to Have Lync 2013 MSP Installer With Credentials?

So I am working on a silent lync installer to push out to all my clients, using a custom .MSP file. I am wondering is it possible to include their logged in credentials to the installer? So when they first open Lync after the install, it just logs right
in, without needing to change the Sign-in Address.
Currently it defaults to "[email protected]"

Hi,
Base on my Knowledge, it is impossible to achieve it with the .MSP file.

Lync 2013 client installation using SCCM

Hi everyone,
I have been performed Office 2013 installation in my domain. For this puprpose, I used SCCM 2007 R3.
At the beginning I customized this installation using OCT. I have excluded Lync from my Office 2013 distribution package, because we use Communicator Server 2007. Afterwards, I found that it is possible to use Lync 2013 with OCS 2007: http://www.technipages.com/lync-2013-fix-cannot-sign-in-because-the-server-version-is-incompatible-with-microsoft-lync-error.html
How can I silently deploy Lync on workstations, which already have received Office 2013 without Lync? If I simply try to add Lync feature in my package using OCT, silent installation stops on "Add/remove/repair components..." (which,
we, of course, cannot see during a silent setup).

You could utilize Config.xml to deploy Lync client. This will make installation silently.

Hi Juke,
Thanks for you answer. But actually not all is clear for me. In this article, I can see this:
"By default, the Config.xml file that is stored in the core product folder (for example, \product.WW) directs Setup to install that product. For example, the Config.xml file in the following folder installs Lync 2013:
\\server\share\Lync15\Lync.WW \Config.xml"
But in my Office 2013 installation folder, the Lync.WW folder does not exist.
Should I create it (and Config.xml too) manually? Can I remove other folders like Excel, Word from Office2013 installation folder?

Lync 2013 FE pool with two server limitions

Hi,
I have some query about Lync 2013 FE pool with two FE servers.
1. if I deploy two servers in the one FE pool so what happen if one fe server down ?
2. will windows fabric work?
Thanks.

I don't completely agree with this. I have built a few environments with only 2 servers in the Front End pool (despite recommending that three be deployed)
1. Anyway in the event that one FE fails, users are temporarily disconnected and then the client will re-sign them in to the second server.
2. Two servers is supported, but not recommended. See this link (it also contains how to handle two servers - scroll to bottom) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/gg412996.aspx.
The biggest issue with only having two servers is losing quorum. If both servers are shutdown at the same time, you can run into issues starting them back up. (it is recoverable by resetting the fabric/quorum, but it's a pain)

Lync 2013 and problem with copy/paste from SQL Mgmt Studio.

Hi Everyone,
Recently one of ours programmers noticed a very interesting issue which is a real pain in the a## for him and his colleagues. It was all fine with Lync client 2010, problem started when moved some people to 2013 client.
When someone sends him a message with SQL Code, and he is pasting it into SQL mgmt std. he gets dashes "-" instead of spaces " ".
I thought this is a local PC issue, but:
1. On 2010 it worked, stopped all of a sudden when they changed lync client to 2013
2. They are pasting code on the SERVER not local SQL mgmt std. on their client machines
3. Even if I send him a code from Lync 2010 and he is pasting that from his 2013 client - he gets "-" dashes, so I guess it is not important from where I send the message, but from where he is copying it.
As for now, I have noticed that problem with guys from England and region of APAC - they have lync 2013 client already.
Really appreciate any help as I donot have any point where to start troubleshooting...
Cheers guys,

Hi,
I test the issue with my colleague and didn't find the same issue.
Here is the screenshot:
So please check if Lync Server 2013 and all the issued Lync 2013 client update to the latest version firstly, it not update to the latest version, update it and then test again.

I have a 2013 Buick Enclave with Pandora icon on the screen. I was told that to connect my iphone 5 with USB port and that worked. But as soon as I disconnected, Pandora went out on screen. Only works plugged in now. Should work without USB connected.

I have a 2013 Buick Enclave with Pandora and Stitcher on the nav screen. With my Samsung S3, Pandora automatically lit up and worked. with new iphone5, I was told I need to connect USB port to car and phone and start Pandora. That worked and the icon on screen lit up. but as soon as I removed the USB cord, Pandora and Stitcher greyed out and stopped working. I know it's supposed to work on the car's nav screen once I hardwire it (at least that's what I was told), but as soon as I disconnect, they stop working through the car. How can I install Pandora and Stitcher on my car WITHOUT having the usb cord attached? the idea is to be able to use the car's touch screen to control Pandora, but with the phone plugged into the USB port, I can only use the phone to control Pandora, which of course is dangerous when driving! And it worked correctly with the samsung, so I have to believe it can work with the iphone 5! Right? Thanks.

You cannot install the apps on the car.
The cars head unit is merely acting as an interface to the apps on the device.
If you want to use those apps in the car, plug the device in and leave it plugged in.

Is it possible to have smaller icons under ios7 with iPhone 4S?

Is it possible to have smaller icons under ios7 with iPhone 4S?

I have an iPAD and my wife has an iPAD mini. The new size of the icons is very bad. What would be nice would be to have a variable under Settings where the user could select. Like small, medium and large. The same amount of space could be allocated per icon, so you would not have to squeeze more icons on a page. It would just allow for some personalization of the pages.

Is it possible to have multiple different texts conversations with the same two people?

In iOS 8.1.3 is it possible to have multiple different text conversations with the same person? I'm looking for a way to set an old conversation aside to talk about something new.
Is this possible?

speculation is agaisnt the ToS here, but you never know (I was shocked when we got 8 track recording in GB2)
best thing to do is to send Apple some Feedback and let them know what features you want (they really do read what's sent):

Lync 2013 client Installation License Key Problem

Hi,
I have a question, I have tried to install Lync 2013 with SCCM... but found that installing Lync Client with MSP file was not working. so I found the solution and pushed Lync Client with Config.xml ...
it went through and installed on 700 machines successfully.
now the problem arised, Lync client is now asking for License Key and I don't know what to be done :(
how to push License Key on all those lync clients?
kindly help and suggest.
BR, Phaixan

It depend on you Lync License. If you use a VLK License or MAK you have to import the Lyncense to you License server. You have to activate the License on your KMS server

Lync 2013 Client installation

Hi,
I have a situation where I installed office 2013 wSP1 Pro to my client systems via SCCM 2012R2. Everything was fine until we deployed Lync Server 2013 to our environment. It turned out that Lync Client is not installed in many computers! I found a solution
for that from Google (New admin files etc). It worked great! No problem is that all older clients have office installed without Lync and all new computers have Office installed with Lync. How can I install Lync client to those clients who don´t have Lync installed.
I think I can find a solution to make a query to find all computers that don´t have Lync installed but I can´t find a solution how to deploy only Lync to those computers. Can I use same Office 2013 Pro source but new MSP file to do that or how should I do
that?
Thank you!
Taavi

You can continue to use SCCM 201x as the preferred delivery mechanism to rollout any new or update an existing piece of software. Lync Server 2013 works with both Lync 2013 and Lync 2010 clients except that newer features are not available for the latter. How
the Lync client rollout or update is performed, whether via SCCM, Windows Active-Directory software-distribution, third party applications, etc. is immaterial.

Is it possible to disable 'Lync 2013' options inside of Outlook 2010? If so, how?

I would like to disable/eliminate everything Lync 2013 related inside of my Outlook 2010. I want to disassociate all its relations with Outlook, but keep it everywhere else.
More specifically, in Outlook, I'd like to keep the original (pre-Lync) option of knowing where persons are (i.e. 'Free', 'Busy until 4:00pm', etc). This option is shown when you open a new email, add a recipient, and hover over their name. It would
normally say things like 'Busy until 4:00pm' or 'Free'. Now it just says their Lync location (ex. 'Presence Unknown' since most of the company does not have Lync), and I need it to go back to the original setting.
I also dislike the 'Frequent Contacts' option, so if that could go away, that'd be great.
Things I've already tried so far:
In Outlook: Disabling the Outlook Lync Add-in 'Lync Meeting Add-in'
In Lync:
Personal/Personal Information Manager - Changing drop-down to NONE (from Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook)
Personal/Location - Unchecking 'Share my location info with other programs I use'
Contacts List - Unchecking 'Contact Status'
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Kara526,
Outlook reads the following registry key in order to display presence information within Outlook.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IM Providers
REG_SZ: DefaultIMApp
The default value is “Lync”, please delete
“Lync” and restart outlook.
Best regards,
Eric

Is Lync 2013 perfectly compatible with Office 2010?

Microsoft Office 2010 and Lync 2013 are two diferrent instances, but they use some common elements.
In our company we have over a hundred MS Office 2010 licences and we dont need/afford to change them all to 2013. Now we want to install Lync 2013 and I wonder if there could be compatibility issues or, if Lync 2013 can modifiy the common files they use,
so that certain functions in Office 2010 will not be available or not work properly.
Is there a risk of this happening or they can work together "in complete harmony"? This is very important to me and I cannot afford to make a mistake. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi Cristi,
Checkout these Lyncs on compatibility and interoperability:
Lync 2013 Compatibility http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412817.aspx
Client Interoperability http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204672.aspx
As far as having Lync 2013 & Office 2010 on the same PC, largely it SHOULD be ok and I've not had many issues. The exception to this was on a recent Citrix deployment, where for some reason running Lync 2013 was causing the Office 2010 instance to rerun
everytime it was started. All desktops were ok though.
My suggestion is to make sure you thoroughly test with every scenario that you can think of before rolling out to the masses.

Lync 2013 Cumulative updates with coexistence 2010

Hello
I am pretty new lync admin, i have successfully done a coexistence with 2010 and 2013
I just need clarification on the steps for a 2013 standard edition cu updates.
From the site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2809243 I am seeing that I need to
1) run LyncServerUpdateInstaller.exe
2)run Install-CsDatabase -ConfiguredDatabases -SqlServerFqdn SE.FQDN -Verbose
3) Do not run Install-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase until after full 2013 migration
4) Enable the Mobility service, run the following cmdlet:
Enable-CsTopology
5) Run %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Lync Server 2013\Deployment\Bootstrapper.exe
Just need those steps confirmed and..
1) Just to confirm that I dont need to worry about output of Get-CsPoolUpgradeReadinessState command
2) We dont have Mobility service, do I still need to run Enable-CsTopolgy for Standard edition?
Thanks !

Thank Iain
Just to confirm it is lync 2013 CU updates I am trying to perform on standard pool
When i run the CsPoolUpgradeReadinessState
I get State:insufficientActiveFrontEnds and IsReadForUpgrade True
According to the update notes, they only speak of running cspoolupgradereadiness on Enterprise edition pool.
So i just wanted to know if the output of cspoolupgradereadinessState can be ignored or concerned about for the updates.

Integration Lync 2013 Online (Cloud) with Cisco CUCM 9.1

HI
First i Don't have a physical or virtual Lync server in my network,
Do i have any chance to migrate with my Cisco CUCM 9.1
Thanks.
Ahmed Elshalh

Lync online won't support back-end integration with CUCM on prem. But if looking to try client side integration, Cisco's CUCI supports Lync online.
CUCI: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/unified-communications/uc-integration-tm-microsoft-lync/index.html
O365 support: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucimoc/8_6/cucimocReleaseNote8_6.html#wp363808
Keep in mind CUCI is a Cisco supported solution and not a Microsoft one, also CUCI disables most of the Lync client functionality.

Is it possible to have CFTREE auto expand? (with binding)

Hi there,
ColdFusion newbie here so please bear with me.
I'm doing some tutorials on CFTREE right now, so far it works
well as is, but I have a question:
Is it possible to have the whole tree expanded automatically
when the user first open the page? I know there is the "expand"
attribute for the "cftreeitem" element, but it is not allowed when
using dynamic data bindings.
I know I could probably do the manual looping of queries to
achieve this, but it would be nicer if we could use the binding
mechnism and still have ColdFusion automatically go through
different levels.
The data I intend to use the CFTREE on is of quite managable
amount, so I don't think performance would be a big problem here.
Any tips or hints will be appreciated, and many thanks in
advance!
Billy

I've never used it but it seems that there is an attribute
called expand in the cftree items- I imagine the tag is something
like
<cftree>
<cftreeitem value = "Travel Assistant" display = "Travel
Assistant" parent = "Emp_ID" queryAsRoot = "No" expand = "yes">
</cftree>
good luck

Possible to disable Lync 2013 AVMCU?

Hi there,
Is it possible to disable the Lync 2013 AVMCU, so only audio and video point-to-point?
-How to procede?
Hopefully still possible to do group IM if user wants.
RGDS Trond

You can disable both Audio & Video by Disabling both AllowIPAudio & AllowIPVideo.
Set-CsConferencingPolicy gloabl -AllowIPAudio $False -AllowIPVideo $False
Or you can go to Control Panel and go to Conferencing TAB and adjust the Conferencing Policies from there.
