Hiding Contacts from Lync Server 2013 Address Book not working

Hello All,

I  am trying to hide 2 contacts from the Lync serve AB but can't make it work.

I was following

http://www.justin-morris.net/how-to-hide-users-from-the-lync-address-book/

Environment: Lync 2013 FE pool which consists of 1 servers since it's  test environment. I am using the  following attribute to filter. Have populated this info to the user AD account

ABS Configuration Tool: added and enabled that attribute. Initially, I didn't select any parameter for "OC Field Name" but I later I set "Description" as the parameter.

I have restarted the RTCSRV services, ran update-csuserdatabase and then after waiting a while ran update-csaddressbook. Deleted another test  user's GAL contact DBs to force a redownload of the updated AB files but no success. I still can see the contacts in GAL.

 Can anyone please give some light on this issue. I am not sure if that "OC Field Name" has something to do with the issue?

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Imrul

Hi Eric,

Many thanks for your reply. Basically,I am trying to hide 2 Distribution List which doesn't have any SIP address. I have checked the AbAttribute table which contains the ExtensionAttribute. Following are the result of debug-csaddressbook:

As  you can see Replication State is reporting Error but other parameters dictate the DL I snot indexed and not processed by AB service. Any idea, why the Replication State is reporting "Error".

I will try a force download of the of the GAL for my lync 2013 client and see how it goes.

Hi lmrul,

Can you remove the character "_" and test again ?

The issue may be caused by the character which was not recognized.

Best regards,

Eric
