Lync Server 2010 back-end should be CU5 or greater, then:

  • Set-CsClientPolicy global -EnableExchangeContactSync $False
  • Delete Lync Contact folder from the Personal contacts in Outlook. The folder will be recreated but no contacts.

All you just need to do is 4 steps on the Lync server

1. Check what you have on -EnableExchangeContactSyc by doing c:\get-csuserclientpolicy. And make        is set to false by doing Set-CsClientPolicy global -EnableExchangeContactSync $False if you only have one policy but if you have another group policy apart from the global e.g. Accounting and you want to apply it to the group. Do c:\Set-CsClientPolicy -identity "accounting" -EnableExchangeContactSync $False

2. Do C:\Update-Csuserdatabase (this update client database)

3. Do C:\Update-CsAddressBook (this update client address book)

4. Do C:\Invoke-CsManagmentStoreReplication (this replicate changes to all Lync servers)

Give it five minute and all should be fine but some users might need to exit from Lync and sign in again to see changes.
