In some environments, the administrator may have more than one User Services Policy, and they must be adjusted accordingly. In this scenario we are changing the global policy that applies to all users. In order to enable Unified Contact Store (UCS), we just need to change the UCSAllowed attribute to true, as shown in the cmdlets below (Figure 04). In the new window, look at the Contact List Provider line, and when the integration is not in place we will have Skype for Business Server, as shown in Figure 03. We can hold Ctrl + Shift and right click on Skype for Business client and then click on Configuration Information (Figure 02). The UCSAllowed should have the value of True and that means that integration is enabled in the current environment, as depicted in the image below we can validate that feature is not enabled.Īnother easy place to spot if the integration is in place or not, is using Skype for Business client.
If you are transitioning from a previous version of Skype for Business (Lync Server), the Unified Contact Store may not be configured, and in order to check the current status we can use the Get-CSUserServicePolicy cmdlet in Skype for Business Server Management Shell, as shown in Figure 01. If you are following our article series, you should be fine with integration by now. If you are installing Skype for Business for the first time in your organization, then Unified Contact Store will be enabled by default, however you still need the basic requirements which are having the user hosted on an Exchange Server 2013 or higher, and the integration between Exchange Server and Skype for Business must be in place.
In previous versions of the Skype for Business Server (this product had several names, such as Live Communications Server (LCS), OCS which stands for Office Communications Server, and the last couple of releases were Lync Server) the contact information was stored inside of the product on its own database that resides on the SQL, however we can take advantage of Unified Contact Store (UCS) and store all contact information on the Exchange Server. In this article we are going to cover the Unified Contact Store (UCS) feature which allows all contacts to be stored in Exchange instead of the Skype for Business Server. In the previous article, we worked on the high resolution photos among Unified Communications products.
