Hi everyone...

We just installed LCS 2005 here and I am wondering if there is a way to have
a global contact list and/or predefined groups set up as contacts.

Example; a new user signs in and their Messenger window already has some
contact groups defined, like "Operations" and all the contacts in the Ops
group already there.

Thanks for the reply, Oscar.

I didn't see the c# code, but I've been banging away with the LCS RK files
and pretty well have it sorted out. It's not pretty and I'm thankful for
batch jobs!

You can do this using the WMI interfaces to the LCS server. I've attached a
sample C# console app that shows how to do this. The app will get it's
input either from a file that you supply or from the AD. It needs to run on
the LCS server.

From an earlier post by Bob Christian:




There seems to be a bit of fuss over this feature, or the lack of it, and
with good reason.

There is an import script that can be utilized to import a list of contacts
for a user, or group of users. It will enable you, the admin, to add the
groups on behalf of the user(s).

Download the LCS 2005 SP1 Resource kit:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A368DED8-EA7C-4C65-9844-39CAFA07A454&displaylang=en

Located in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft LC 2005\ResKit\WMI Samples\
directory are two files: LCSAddContacts_readme.htm and LCSAddContacts.wsf

Regarding this script, the readme is pretty good...and is great for a
script. In addition, you can look at the .wsf script as it is cleartext and
not encoded/encrupted.

This script utilizes two import text files. The downside is that this
script would have to be re-ran each time a user is added to your
group(s). The upside is that you simply need to update the files.
Another upside is that the script should not duplicate contacts that it has
already added. You could also utilize it to put the contacts in a group and
simply update that group.

The WMI reference is located here:
