Hide Attributes in Address book

Good day , 

I tried to use ABSConfig to hide mobile number from Lync contact card with no luck , 

i couldn't find any proper documentation for ABSConfig, so what i already tried is 

1 - Uncheck the "Enabled" check box for mobile attribute , along with other check boxes for that row

2 - i tried to select the row and hit delete button on keyboard.

then i ran Update-CSAddressbook , waited more than 24 hours .. no change! 

has anyone done this before ?

Hi,

User Replicator determines which Active Directory attributes to write by reading a configuration table located in the same SQL Server-based instance as the AbUserEntry table. The AbAttribute table contains three columns, ID, Name, Flags, and Enable.

You can refer to the link below:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg429711%28v=ocs.15%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

The default Flags value for the Mobile is 0x0B622800, try to change it to 0x4000B622800

After you modify the AbAttribute table, you can refresh the data in the AbUserEntry table by running the cmdlet Update-CsUserDatabase command. After UR replication completes, you can update the file in the Address Book Server file store by manually running the cmdlet UpdateCsAddressBook command.

Hi Eason , 

Thank you for the reply , 

Actually i prefer using ABS tool , because editing database fields manually is not recommended,

In addition , will this option also remove the attribute from Exchange Address book ?

Thanks and regards
