User presence feature for Lync

Hi all,
I have deployed Lync Server 2010 without exchange.
I need USER PRESENCE feature alone from exchange.
Could anyone tell me a Exchange deployment path to do this?
I heard that providing a exchange mail box to all the user will provide this presence feature.
Thanks and Regards,
ArunKumar.J

Agree with Georg, you will get user presence without Exchange, it should know when you're in a conference, know when you're away, and you can manually set it. What Exchange gets you is presence updates based upon items in your calendar. If you
deploy mailboxes for each user, they would need to start using and schedulign meetings in the calendar. If Lync sees a meeting in the Exchange calendar, the presence will change to Busy during this time.

What are the supported feature for LYNC Server 2013 WITHOUT Telephony

Hi
I have a new customer who is asking for LYNC Server 2013 without to use VoIP Support.
The would like to use the LYNC-SKYPE connectivity but without LYNC calls.
Most of their internal users are using SKYPE.
The Question is now, what Features are possible for example:
FEATURE-LIST
See other’s presence
Manage own presence
See presence in Office
Contact management
Contact card
PC-PC and multiparty IM
PC-PC and multiparty file transfer
Persistent Chat
PC-to-PC computer audio calling
PC-to-PC computer video calling
PC-to-PC presence display, IM, audio, and video with Skype users
But what of the above feature list is possible without using VoIP ??
And how works that LYNC WebApp Client without VoIP? Is it possible to route Audio/Video over the internet by using that LYNC WebApp Client in LYNC 2013??
Thanks in advance ;-)
Kind regards
Michael
Kind regards Michael Damaschke

All of that is possible without PSTN connectivity or the plus cal.
When you say VoIP, do you mean audio chatting over TCP/IP in the purest form, or do you mean specifically telephone calls?
Technially PC-to-PC computer audio calling is VoIP, or voice over IP, but if you're talking about connecting it to a PBX or the phone network, you don't need it for any of the above. It works wonderfully and is quite a bit cheaper without it due to
fact that you won't need to license the plus cal for enterprise voice or the Exchange enterprise cal for voicemail.

Is it possible to archive user presence change in Lync 2013?

We are using Lync 2013 and were wondering for QA purposes, is there a way to get or archive presence data in Lync 2013? Is the presence information only available in the client?
Thanks!

I don't believe this is archived (but someone feel free to correct me)
Based on the Technet article
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204900.aspx the following information is archived:
Peer-to-peer instant messages
Conferences (meetings), which are multiparty instant messages
Conference content, including uploaded content (for example, handouts) and event-related content (for example, joining, leaving, uploading sharing, and changes in visibility)
Whiteboards and polls shared during a conference
Also looking at some of the sample reports, I can't see an option for it: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Sample-Lync-Server-12fb1c4c

Getting user presence availability from Lync Online

Hello.
Suppose we have an organization where all users have a Lync account, and the organization uses Lync Online (i.e. not an on-premise server).
We would like to retrieve the presence availability (online, busy, etc.) of any specific user (to display on an intranet user profile page) without actually being logged on with a Lync client.
Is there any way to do this through for instance PowerShell or any other mechanism/API in Office 365? Would it be possible to set up a provider of sorts from which the presence availability could be requested?
P.S. I am posting the question here, because I cannot find a dedicated Lync Online forum here.
Cheers,
Lasse Jensen

This is currently not possible with Office365. The only supported SDK for interacting with O365 is the Lync client SDK. I believe it is on the road map to enable UCWA access at some point in the future (no promises here).

Lync 2013 - Hide users not enabled for Lync from Lync AB

Ok - so here is the environment
Lync 2010 - preparing to upgrade to 2013
Exchange hosted on O365 only, so no exchange schema in the local domain.
There are tons of service accounts and other non-user accounts, as well as disabled users for previous employees that still show up in the Lync AB. I understand how in 2010 to add an attribute and modify the AB behavior to hide users like this, but
I am concerned that when we upgrade to 2013 in the near future, I won't be able to hide these users.
Is there a method to modify the behavior of the Lync 2013 AB service to not grab and index users?

You'd want to use ABSConfig for this. Is that what's in place now? Most of the documentation is around Lync 2010 for this, but it is included in the 2013 resrouce kit and should work with 2013.

On Prem Lync - Enable federation for "Lync Online" causes presence fail and gives error when creating groups

Hi all,
We have had Lync on premise for a long time, and have recently added Office 365 Business Premium Plan because we wanted Cloud exchange and SharePoint.
I have found that on our on prem Lync, when we enable federation for "Lync Online" it cause our presence to intermittently flick on and off, and we are unable to create groups in our Lync Client. We get the message "unable to create a group
at this time".
We are also not able to federate with Office365 hosted Lync Online clients.
This seems to be a bug between Office365 plans that have hosted lync licenses and on prem Lync. Has anyone found the
What I need to do is disable office365 Lync, and I have tried to do that in every location I can find (DNS/User settings), but I still have this issue.
Has anyone come across this issue and found a fix?
Simon.

Hi,
Did you do a Lync Hybrid environment or just make federation with Lync Online?
Please double check if there is any wrong configuration for federation with Lync online environment. You can refer to the following steps in the link below of “Configure federation support for a Lync Online domain in Lync Server 2013”:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202166.aspx
Then make sure CMS replication update to the latest status.
If the issue persists, check if Lync Server update the latest version. If not, update it and then test again.

Lync 2013 User Presence Unknown in OCS 2007 R2 Client

Lync 2013 User Presence Unknown in OCS 2007 R2 Client
OCS users had reported that they can’t view the presence status of some Lync 2013 users in OCS client, presence unknown. I found one of FE01 server that registration for those Lync 2013 users have that effect on OCS client. I shut down FE01 server to force
Lync 2013 users to register to another FE02 server. After Lync 2013 users signed in again (Connected Lync Server has been changed to: FE02), OCS client can view their presence. However I still don't found the root cause, when I run Test-CsRegistration in both
FE server. The FE02 passed, but FE01 show the following error. I checked the same certificate was imported to FE01/FE02.

Use Cisco CUCM for outbound "call me at" feature on Lync meetings

I'm trying to find a step by step to enable users (non enterprise voice users) to use the dial me at feature in Lync conference meetings. I only want the user to have the ability to tell Lync to dial a number to place that number into the conference call,
the feature is easy to enable but i can't get the routing right between CUCM and Lync. I've looked all around the net but I can't seem to find anything that matches what i'm trying to do, other docs cover enterprise voice and that's out of my scope. Any assistance
here would be nice. Thanks

Hi,
In Lync Server 2010, it is not supported with “call me at” function for non-Enterprise Voice users.
However, Lync Server 2013 now allows participants that are not Enterprise Voice enabled to initiate dial-out calls from a meeting conference, called “Dial-out Conferencing for non-Enterprise Voice users”.
This can be configured by setting the Conferencing policy to allow this feature (Set-CSConferencingPolicy –AllowNonEnterpriseVoiceUsersToDialOut:$true). After enabling this, then assign a voice policy to the users who need the function.

Lync Serch brings up deleted users and unwanted users (presence unknown)

We are about to deploy lync 2013 out to 800+ users and I have been playing with this feature for about 2 weeks now. I want to clean everything up the best I can before our deployment date. We are using 365 to manage the users with L1 and L2 licenses.
I have around 20 actuve users online right now for testing and they are working great. I have setuop MIICLIENT filters to remove OUs and certain attibutes. However if you open Lync and start typing a name it looks as if its searching through the GAL and not
the users I have assigned Lync to. Another example,,, you can still see users that are disabled. Of course their statues says unknown. and you will only receive an error message when trying to send to that user. But I want to make sure in the search feature
these users and other users do not show up in a search. Doing a search in o365 there are NONE of these users in there. They have to be pulling from our outlook credentials. or OWA somehow.
Could someone shed a little light on this for me? How can I completlly remove these users from showing up in a search even tho they are not synced users.
Thank you so much for the help...
Brian

Hi,
Agree with Edwin.
Also, if you search the user who have been disabled, it may the sync issue of Lync address book. Please run the following cmdlet on Lync Server Management Shell:
Update-CsUserDatabase cmdlet to force the user database to refresh its contents by re-reading all of the user information stored in Active Directory.
Update-CsAddressBook cmdlet to force an Address Book server to immediately sync with the user information stored in the user database.

Web based client for lync server 2013 , only for IM/presence

Hi,
for 20000 users, 4 FE servers, HA . only for IM/presence , looking for web/browser based client so that there will not be any need of thick client installation. is there any way? thanks

if i integrate lync 2013 with exchange 2013 OWA, wil reverse proxy or Edge server will come into picture?
If you have users who are external to your network , then yes Edge server and reverse proxy will come into the picture.
will integration of lync 2013 with exchange 2013 provide the following
one-to-one, one-to-many chat. ?
Yes
archiving of chats at server side.
you need to install archiving server for lync .
Instant messaging should support rich text, emoticons.
Yes
Instant Messaging/ Chat should provide file transfer facility.
Yes
instant Messaging/chat should provide rich client and web client.
i guess the first question is the same thing
The mail messaging solution should have administrative control for file transfer.
Exchange server wont control file transfer. You have client policies applied through Lync server for
this.
I hope you have seen this link for information related to Lync clients.

Is there a way for this community, to make a suggestion to Apple to include blocking a specific contact number calls and messages just as other phones provide that feature for their users.

Is there a way for this community, to make a suggestion to Apple to include blocking a specific contact number calls and messages just as other phones provide that feature for their users.

No phone provides true call blocking. At best, they provide call diversion. Essentially, the call is answered and disconnected automatically. If I recall, Apple is adding call diversion features in iOS 7.
Best of luck.

[All Platforms][Playlists] Feature for normal user to customize playlist cover

Hello spotfiy commuity! I saw a post about this a cople of years back, but I feel like its time to revisit the subject. I have always wanted a feature that enabled me to choose a custom playlist cover photo. This would make my playlist even more personal. I always wonder why this wasn't a feature, I thought that it could be legal issues with the pictures, but just resently spotify released the "Discover weekly" that is absolutely amazing! On the playlist they use your facebook picture as the playlist cover. So it can't be legal issues? One can use anything as a facebook photo (No copy rights needed). I know this is a feature for records companys or larger playlist and so on. I can understand that its limited to partners, but I don't think it would do any harm to add this feature for regular users aswell? All I really want is an reason why this isn't a feature for normal users :)

Updated: 2015-08-03Hi and thanks for your contribution! Any announcements about this potential feature will be announced in this thread:
