Scenario 1: during pool failover, files may be flushed out from storage service for each front end. After failover is completed, the tool should be run to re-import the data. This automatically flushed data should be re-imported routinely by the administrator.
Event IDs of full flush operation is started , full flush has completed , maintenance level flush started , maintenance level flush complete , flush occurred due to filling up of database. Note these event Ids correspond to the RTM release. When an administrator sees these events, it means that there are files that have been flushed out. This data should routinely be imported back using this tool, for example once per week. For the Online Service release, if health monitoring SCOM pack for Lync Server is deployed, there are new alerts which may be raised which ask the administrator to re-import the flushed data back into Storage Service.
There will be a corresponding event in the event log on the Front End server which triggered the alert. The event will give a description of the Parent path under which the flushed data files are located, as well as how many files there are which meet the alert criteria.
Two examples of events which can trigger the health alert are shown below, with the difference being their parent path. One possibility is under Web service file share, while the other possibility is the local Application Data directory of each front end. The administrator will then run this reskit tool. This tool will increase CPU and IO load on the front end it is running on, as well as other front ends, in the situation that the data is not owned by the front end that the tool is executed on.
We recommend runng this tool when front ends are not under heavy CPU and IO load, for example outside of peak hours. Secondly, this tool can 2 to 3 minutes to import one data file. Keep this in mind when estimating how long tool will be running. The verbose log file generated by the tool will by default appear on the File Store. Delete it if there are no errors reported, because the log file can be tens of MB or more.
The tool uses a cmdlet from the management shell to identify all the Front End servers in the pool. Otherwise, remote Windows PowerShell commands from this tool will fail. Windows PowerShell Remoting can be turned off on all Front End servers in the pool after it is finished.
Otherwise the tool will fail with IO Permission errors. This tool is used to synchronize users and groups from different user forests as an Active Directory Domain Services contact object to a central forest where Lync Server is installed. To provide single sign-in, the primary user account must be mapped to the Active Directory Domain Services contact object in the central forest for Lync Server This tool helps perform that mapping.

The Response Group application gives agents the ability to access useful real-time information using its built-in Web service. Unfortunately, no graphical view of this data is available outside the application. The Response Group Agent Live Resource Kit tool solves this issue by providing a simple and graphical way to access this information, enhanced with real-time Microsoft Lync communications software information such as the presence of other agents.
Response Group Agent Live is a Windows application that provides sign-in and sign-out functionality and some real-time information such as group membership and current number of calls to Response Group agents.
It is meant to be an enhanced version of the Agent Groups page accessible from Lync The Response Group application queues incoming calls, and then routes them to agent groups. To make informed decisions about which calls to service, agents can access real-time information about their agent groups, such as what other agents are available and how many calls are waiting in each queue. This information, initially accessible only through the Response Group service, is made available in an intuitive way by Response Group Agent Live.
It provides Response Group agents the information and capabilities that are available from the Response Group service such as group membership, presence of other agents, and number of waiting calls.
This application provides three quick ways for agents to sign in or out:. Group membership: When an agent group is selected, Response Group Agent Live displays the list of agents in this group in the right pane. If Lync is running on the same computer as this application, presence information and the contact card are displayed in the Response Group Agent Live. Agents can send an IM or call other agents directly from there. Real-time statistics: Response Group Agent Live provides real-time statistics for all agent groups.
The update frequency is one minute. When a call is answered by a Response Group, a visual indicator is added next to the group name with the current number of queued calls.
Pausing the pointer over a group also displays the longest waiting time. Response Group Agent Live requires the. NET Framework 4.
In addition, to take advantage of the presence and contact card features, Lync must be installed locally and be running. Response Group Agent Live can be customized to individual preferences by using the Options dialog box in the application. In addition, the administrator can define the default host address by editing directly the defaultHostAddress property of the RGAgentLive.
The figure below illustrates the Options dialog box that agents can use to configure the host address and shortcut keys.
This dialog is accessed by clicking the Options button on the top right of the main interface. The following three different settings can be customized in the Response Group Agent Live configuration:. The exact Response Group service address is automatically derived in the background from this information by appending the right path after the host.
The figure below illustrates how to call or send an IM to another agent by right-clicking the contact in the right pane. The figure below illustrates how Response Group Agent Live displays the current number of calls in the queue and the longest waiting time among all these incoming calls.
Fast sign-in and sign-out, group membership, and basic real-time statistics are interesting Response Group agent features that are only available outside the application from the Response Group service. With the Response Group Agent Live Resource Kit tool, Lync administrators can provide their agents with a Windows application that allows them to perform tasks in a faster and graphical way.
SEFAUtil secondary extension feature activation is a command-line tool that enables Microsoft Lync Server communications software administrators and helpdesk agents to configure delegate-ringing, call-forwarding, simultaneous ringing, team-call settings and group call pickup on behalf of a Lync Server user.
The tool also allows administrators to query the call-routing settings that are published for a particular user. The administrator can specify the target in the form of a SIP URI or use a target that has already been published by the user. This tool also allows administrators to add or remove delegates or team-call group members on behalf of the user.
SEFAUtil secondary extension feature activation enables Lync Server administrators and helpdesk agents to configure delegate-ringing, call-forwarding, simultaneous ringing, team-call settings and group call pickup on behalf of a Lync Server user. This tool also allows administrators to query the call-routing settings that are published for a particular user. The current version of SEFAUtil is only a command-line tool; there is no supporting graphical user interface.
The features in this tool allow administrators and helpdesk agents to do the following:. View all call routing settings for a user includes call-forwarding, delegation, simultaneous ringing, team-call and group call pickup.
The current version of this tool provides output only in the Command Prompt window. For details, see the Examples section later in this document. Bob is an executive and has been moved to Lync Server telephony.
He has delegation on his existing PBX system. Alice is travelling and realizes that she is expecting an important call from one of her customers.
However, she is in a hotel and has no access to a computer. She calls the helpdesk and requests that they forward to her mobile number all the calls made to her work number. The helpdesk personnel are able to do the configuration on her behalf.
A customer service practice in the human resources department at Contoso is to provide personal service for all callers since the first call. Given that all members of the department sit very close to each other, having all phones ringing at the same time with team-call is very disruptive for the team. To provide the best service without disrupting the team members, the Lync administrator takes advantage of the Group Call Pickup capability.
The administrator adds all department members to a pickup group and communicates to the department the pickup group number. When Samantha is absent from her desk, Joe notices her phone ringing and he proceeds to answer the call from his desk.
UCMA 3. If needed, adding a pool as a new trusted application pool can be done via the Lync Server Management Shell with the following cmdlet:. The topology changes need to be enabled. Enabling the topology changes can be done via the Lync Server Management Shell by executing the following cmdlet:. To do this, run the tool from a windows command prompt with administrator privileges to display the call forwarding settings of a user in the deployment. To display the call forwarding settings of a user, use the following command:.
Group Call Pickup requires additional configuration in Lync Server for the capability to be fully enabled. Before assigning pickup groups to users, refer to the Group Call Pickup product documentation for the planning and deployment steps of this capability.
The following command displays the call handling for the user. This example changes the simultaneous ringing rule that was set in the previous example to the delayed ringing rule. This example adds a team member to the team-call group of a user and enables simultaneous ringing to the team-call group. Adding a member to the team-call group of a user will automatically switch the simultaneous ringing settigs of the users to simulring his team-call group.
If the member being removed is the only member of the team-call group, simultaneously ringing to the team-call group will be automatically disabled. When you disable Group Call Pickup for a user, the group number that was assigned to the user is not retained. While the script name is similar to the System Preparation Tool for the Microsoft Windows operating systems, they are different. This script will only install the required prerequisites for Lync Server Once those prerequisites are installed, the Windows SYSPrep tool can then be used to create an image of the server.
Prior to running the SYSPrep. This folder must also include a copy of the Lync Server files, specifically Setup. The prerequisite files can be downloaded from the following locations:.
The —SetupFolder parameter takes as an argument the directory location of the prerequisite files. To run the SYSPrep. The Unassigned Number Announcements Migration tool enables a Lync administrator to move the unassigned numbers configuration that is serviced by the announcement application from a source Lync Server or Pool to a destination Lync Server or Pool.
The Unassigned Number Announcements Migration tool is a Windows PowerShell script that moves the unassigned numbers configuration serviced by the announcement application of a source server or pool to a different server or pool. When executed, the Unassigned Number Announcements Migration script will perform the following operations:. Move all the audio files used by the unassigned number announcements of the announcement application hosted in the source server or pool to the file store of the destination server or pool.
Move all unassigned number announcements configured for the announcement application hosted in the source server or pool to the destination server or pool.
Reassign all the unassigned number ranges that are serviced by the announcement application hosted in the source server or pool to the destination server or pool. After successfully running the script, all the unassigned number ranges that were serviced by the announcement application hosted in the source server or pool will now be serviced with the same configuration by the destination server or pool.

This tool outputs predefined reports about the Skype for Business Server database. To install Dbanalyze. To use the tool, run the following command from the command line. Users The table below shows the administrators who have the necessary permissions to access Skype for Business Server databases. DBAnalyzer provides administrators a quick and easy to analyze Skype for Business Server databases. The data flushed out of the Storage Service could have been automatic periodic based on Queue Item status or database size.
It could have happened due to the manual invocation of the pool failover cmdlet, or the StorageServiceFullFlush cmdlet which the pool failover cmdlet invokes. Note that data should ideally not be reimported if any of the Storage Service LYSS database sizes on the front ends is above the normal level, because doing so will likely just cause more data to be exported back out. Furthermore, any problems that could have contributed to errors that caused the Storage Service Queue to grow should first be resolved for example Exchange endpoint errors, network issues, or other problems.
