[cisco-voip] Does Cisco Jabber (windrows) Conflict with MS Lync

Tue Feb 16 16:37:16 EST 2016

nope. no hole. this is great. you raise very valid points. 

i won't be able to upgrade for a while. likely mid-2017 or 2018. we've got a full plate and i need to justify the time to upgrade. 

i've decided to use a different services discovery domain for the reason that i do not control the domain, and someone could easily register it with WebEx, and I don't want that to screw things up. 

considering, it's only really used at client configuration, i'm not too concerned. there are smart URLs that we can use, so that will help as well. 

i will be using the same domain for IM and SIP/Directory URIs though. that's my plan. 

my main concern going forward is that in our AD, we have some people who have modified their MailID to be an email address with a departmental domain attached. i will have to see how that works (or doesn't work). 

thanks again!

All the more reason to upgrade....I kid, but not really. 

Actually, the current CCIE Collab is based on that same version, if memory serves, so knowing it to some degree is important, but not anymore for me. ;) 

Anyway, the Services Domain is simply where Jabber will query for SRV records, it does not have to match the IM chat domain. As long as the SRV records can be found, you're good to go. 

I think the ultimate deployment scenario is when the services domain matches the IM chat domain and both of them match the mail domain. This way, as an end user, I don't have to know three URIs: 

aholloway at chat.company.com 
aholloway at myphone.company.com 
aholloway at company.com 

I would strive to make them all the same, so it's a unified experience across the board. I'm not saying you're doing three domains, I'm using that as a worst case scenario. You might have combined your IM chat domain with your mail domain, and they match, leaving only your services domain out in the wind. 

I think I'm about to start digging myself in to a hole here, so I better watch out where I take this conversation. Deployment strategies, multiple domains, legacy versions, volunteering, murky waters, and all that.

Interesting... I'm running 9.1.1... 

    * I don't have Advanced Configuration > IM Address Scheme option. 
    * And under System > Cluster Topology > All Assigned Users, I don't have the IM address column. 

That being said, I just right clicked on a contact and viewed the profile. The IM address does not include the services domain I configured. I'm guessing because Directory URI is an option only introduced in v10, it's either taking my "Mail ID" or it's building it from the userID and the default presence domain I configured in the .xml file. 

I'll have to take another look at my default calling behaviour.

Your JID is made up from whatever is configured in IM&P under Presence > Settings > Advanced Configuration > IM address scheme 

You can see what everyone is already provisioned for in IM&P under System > Presence Topology > All Assigned Users, and then look at the column labeled IM Address. 

I don't know anything about Office 365 and Presence integrations, sorry. 

I don't for certain about default destinations in the Jabber client, but I can tell you that if you hover over the contact, to get the contact card to show, you can one click call them. It looks like in my environment it's choosing the Directory URI over the DN. This wouldn't be the first time Directory URI takes precedence over DN. It does that in Phone Only Mode, and shows up under your name at the top, where it would normally show your status. 

Multiple Ways to Call (Directory URI and DN) 

Contact Card One Click Default Call Option (Directory URI) *Note there is a left and right section of this green call button. The left side is the one click, while the right side is a selection.

Thanks for this. 

I've decided to use a different domain for the services discovery for the time being, eg myphone.acme.ca because I may not be able to prevent WebEx registration. 

SMTP userIDs in my AD are userid at acme.ca 

I don't believe I have a proxyAddress configured. Or if I actually need one. We'll be moving to Office365 over the summer. 

Should I be worrying about this? 

What would my JID be in this case? 

userID at myphone.acme.ca -or- userID at acme.ca ? 

Does this have anything to do with the fact that whenever I want to dial someone from my contacts I have to select from a list? I'd like to be able to just dial from contacts. A default destination for example.

Great tip Benjamin! 

Along the sames lines, if you *do* want Jabber to take over the Office integration, you will need to add to the AD attribute proxyAddresses, the following format: SIP:JID 

E.g., if my JID was aholloway at company.com , then my entry would be SIP:aholloway at company.com 

You may even end up with two or more proxyAddresses, depending on what else you are doing in AD. I.e., SMTP:aholloway at company.com The good news is, this is a list of addresses, and you can have multiple entries. 

There's actually a tool in the Jabber Admin ZIP file to help you bulk update your AD users to include this SIP proxyAddresses value. You run it from a domain controller, and it's a GUI wizard that will generate an import file, and then import the file back in. It defaults to SIP:smtpaddress, so if you JID != SMTPAddress, then you'll need to modify the import file, and manually import it another way. The LDIF file format is standard .

Lync and Jabber share a large number of resources and registry settings. If you want Lync to maintain control of all the MS Office integration (you're running Jabber phone only, as an example), install Jabber with the flags 

msiexec.exe CLEAR=1 /i CIscoJabberSetup.msi CLICK2X=DISABLE 

and you should be set. This causes it to install without overwriting any of those registry settings, including click to call.

Dears, 

I found that when Ms Lync is working fine with outlook and reflecting all the IM status OK and then you install Jabber ,the sync is disturbed ,Is that due to the fact that Jabber overwrites the linkage to MS office and conflicts with Lync? any such experiences /opinions.
