Removing Lync 2010 contact details
So the reason why we needed to do this was cause a user changed from an old number to a new number and for some reason it kept reverting back to her old number. We checked AD and Lync admin and both were set to her new number. The only place that it was coming up with her old number was her lync contact card.
Here is the fix that I used to removed it, but try at your own risk.
The dbimpexp tool can be found in the support directory of Lync:
X:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Support
To change the information we will first need to export the information from the database:
dbimpexp /hrxmlfile:”c:\export.xml” /sqlserver:"[lyncsqlserver]\rtc" /restype:user /user:[email protected]
If you want to remove or change an entry you will need to update all entries in the XML. When you have replaced each entry save the file and import it into the database:
dbimpexp /import /hrxmlfile:”c:\export.xml” /sqlserver:"[lyncsqlserver]\rtc" /restype:user /user:[email protected]
When the data is uploaded in the database a new addressbook needs to be generated. This to update the addressbook with the new information.
Depending on when the client downloads the new addressbook the changes will be displayed within 60 minutes.
