Lync/Skype4B Improvement Suggestions Lync Server

ability to pickup another ringing phone in your group.

Today there is no decent way of doing call recording on a multi-site Lync implimentation. You need to have appliances at each location to capture the packets. It would be helpful if there was a centralized method of getting all peer-to-peer and PSTN type traffic

At this moment the default 20sec timeout for call forwarding could be managed by users or via SEFAUtil.

I think could be more practice if this (and some other call forwarding option) became Global Option, managed by a new Policy. The administrator could set it for all, or for some Group of users, could set it mandatory or not and so on....

When a customer calls in to a user and then hangs up in a few seconds, there is no call record generated. I would like to have a call record generated so that I could find out number of hang ups.

 

This does work if a "Response Group" answers the call, but not before it is answered by the response group.

It would be very helpful to be able to schedule on call rotations with response groups so that the members can be dynamically scheduled to be on call without having to change the response group or user forwarding manually. This could be achieved with similar functionality as the holiday schedule but routes the calls to a specific user or specified number at a scheduled time/day/week etc.

As Lync 2013 now has the ability to use Call Pickup which works on the Principle that if u hear the Phone Ring u can Pickup another users Phone Call - which works very well insetad of complex Simultaneous Ring Setup

This Scenario obviously only works if u can hear the phone - now that Phone Vendors like Snom are providing customizable Buttons if Lync Could provide a presence that changes color or flashes to alert user... more »

One of the biggest limitations I have found with Lync from our traditional PBX system is lack of in-depth workflows/call handling with response groups. Currently, our Lync deployment is rock solid, however as our organization grows, we are finding that Lync is continuously being a bottleneck at what we can/cannot do with call routing at the response group level. One thing our organization would like is the ability... more »

Currently Lync can only have one Call Park orbit/configuration for each site that contains a Front End Pool (or more than 1 FE pool). This means that a site with only a SBA/SBS does not have its own Call Park configuration.

Companies that use call park generally want one Call Park range (or at bare minimum call park configuration) per Branch Office so that they can have a timeout destination per office. (not have call... more »

Even if Call Forwarding is disabled in Voice Policy the option is still visible in the Lync client. This confuses users who think they can configure call forwarding.

UserB (person call parked for) are able to answer a parked call (external call incoming /thru pstn/sip) EVEN after "CallPickupTimeoutThreshold" completes and when the call is ringing back to the user who parked the call (UserA).

So at this time the call is ringing back to UserA, but if UserB picks up the parked call (and they can), UserA will continue to ring!

If UserA answers, this call becomes a 3 party conference,... more »

In the same scenario as here:

http://lync.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Parked-Calls-Through-Gateway-After-Park-TimeOut-Act-Weird/373728-16285?submitted=1

 

when the external caller has timed-out and is ringing back to UserA, the external Caller hears a combination of ringing and music on hold. Instead of just MoH, or ring back tone.

Its a pity that when I click Join Lync Meeting and then choose to join the meeting audio via a DDI of my choosing that the video is then disabled.

Would be handy if I still had the option to have video without the workaround of joining without audio and then inviting my DDI.
