“….{lync., meet., dialin}.domain.co.uk going to my front end.”

“Have you created the public SRV record for your SIP domain?
It should be _sip._tls.domain.com pointing to your edge servers public name (i.e. sip.domain.com) on port 443. Without that record things will not connect.”

Now this is where i get a little hazy. What exactly does public mean? Do you mean my ISP’s DNS panel, or the public side / zone of my network? In my ISP’s DNS i have sip.domain.co.uk (which is used for sip, a/v, webconf) going to my edge, and .domain.co.uk going to my front end. On my ISP’s panel i can only add an ‘A’ record or ‘cname’. there is no option for an SRV entry – and certainly not one for a port number!

We only want the software for external online meetings which do currently work, except it will not allow the remote guest to share their desktop with the internal user (although vice-versa works!!) I assume this is something to do with the subsequent communication between the two through the sip/edge, after the initial handshake through the front end!

I hope my post doesn’t sound to dumb/basic, but i’m specifically stuck regarding the external SRV record. Many thanks,

I posted this on the Technet forum for Presence and IM in Lync but thought I would run it by you to see if you’ve ever heard of it happening to anyone else. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

I have a very odd situation I am looking for some guidance on. We have PIC licensing for Lync and federation is established with Yahoo and Live Messenger and it works fine for the most part. Our Lync users have outside customers they communicate with over IM. These customers mostly use Yahoo Messenger. When the outside customers (I’ll refer to them as Yahoo users from this point forward) are logged into Yahoo Messenger on their desktops, messages and presence flow both ways and everything is happy. However, when a Yahoo user logs out of his desktop Yahoo client and into the Yahoo Messenger client on his Blackberry, the Yahoo user can see Lync user’s presence but my Lync users show the Yahoo user offline and messages no longer flow either way. Logically, I would think the Yahoo Mobile client for Blackberry doesn’t support communicating with Lync so I started some testing and this is what I have found.

I tried this same thing with Yahoo Messenger clients for both IPhone and Droid. This is where it gets really strange.

IPhone – Lync users could see Yahoo user presence and receive IMs from Yahoo user, but Yahoo user cannot see Lync user’s presence and cannot receive IMs from Lync.

Droid – Presence flows both ways, Lync user receives IMs from Yahoo but Yahoo user does not receive IMs from Lync.

This same thing is happening when logging into Live Messenger mobile client as well. I haven’t tried Google Talk as I do not have an XMPP gateway deployed.

Is anybody else running into this? I’ve had a consultant talkng to both Microsoft and Yahoo about this and they each keep pointing fingers at each other. This is not a Blackberry problem as the issue is not just showing up on their platform. My consultant also has a hosted Lync provider and they are having the same issue. There has got to be a fix out there for this.

Definitely could easily add the dial plan if needed, just wasn’t something I did with the script. As far as the sleep, from my testing, the loop to create devices being separated from the loop to assign voice policy was enough time for everything to happen. If that isn’t the case than adding the sleep at line 38 would do the trick.

Thanks for the feedback!

Why Microsoft aren’t doing it?
