Lync Server 2010 Meeting Content Viewer

-
The Meeting Content Viewer tool is an administrative tool you can use to convert Lync Server 2010 web conferencing (meeting) content, such as whiteboard and poll files saved in the file store by Lync Server 2010, from its binary format into a viewable format. 
To install the Lync Server 2010 Meeting Content Viewer tool, download DMViewer.msi to the target machine. To install the tool using default settings, run DMViewer.msi. The MSI installs the tool binaries in \Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Data MCU Viewer

Anyone who has the rights and permissions required to read the file store used by Lync Server 2010 can run this tool to convert data.

Syntax
DMViewer.exe log=[true|false] cmdir=[folder_name] ccdir=[folder_name] cid=[conference_id] outdir=[output_folder]
Where,
·         log = True for turning on tracing and False for turning off tracing for the tool
·         cmdir = Folder where conference metadata is stored by Lync Server for a specific user, such as \\share\CollabMetadata\user1
·         ccdir = Folder where conference content is stored by Lync Server for a specific user, such as \\share\CollabContent\user1
·         cid = Unique conference ID for the conference
·         outdir = Folder where converted output is to be stored

Example
DMViewer.exe log=[true] cmdir=[\\co-meetings-1\share\CollabMetadata\User1Hash] ccdir=[\\co-meetings-1\share\CollabContent\User1Hash] cid=[YVF2JPYC] outdir=[c:\conferences\converted]
Lync Server uses the hash of the meeting organizer (in the path of the folder used to store the meeting content).  If you would like to find the user hash for a specific meeting organizer, you can use the following syntax.  

DMViewer.exe org=[organizer_uri]
Where,
  • org = the URI for the user who organized the meeting

Output
The tool generates the output in the following format:
[output_folder]/[conference_id]/polls.xml[output_folder]/[conference_id]/whiteboards.xml[output_folder]/[conference_id]/whitebaords.zip

Polls.xml file contains the polls created during the meeting. The file is in XML format.Whiteboards.xml contains the whiteboards created during the meeting. The file is in XML format.Whiteboards.zip contains the whiteboards created during the meeting. The file is in HTML/CSS/JS format.
For each whiteboard in the meeting, the tool generates a whiteboards.zip file that contains a folder for each whiteboard.
-          [extracted_folder]/[whiteboard_name]/Images
-          [extracted_folder]/[whiteboard_name]/Scripts
-          [extracted_folder]/[whiteboard_name]/Styles
-          [extracted_folder]/[whiteboard_name]/WebPages

How to hide and un-hide users from Global Address List (GAL) in Exchange Online if they are AD Connect synchronized Hiding User from GAL isn't possible if those are synchronized form On-Premises Active Directory. The local AD is the leading system for all important attributes, like SMTP, UPN and hiding from GAL. Especially during a cross-tenant migration, you do not want to see not migrated user in the GAL. Those User aren't actively working until their cut-over day. Since the Exchange Online attribute  msExchHideFromAddressList s is an AD on-premises parameter, we have two possible ways hiding user in BME from GAL.   Modify the AD Connect for your teant with a custom rule, by using a extensionAttribute to set the HidefromGAL. In this rule, for users which have an entry in the extensionAttribute, hiding / un-hiding will be controlled by AD Connect This is the best option for Cross-Tenant Migration, if you run 2 or more AD Connect system We direct modify the AD hide at

Lync Edge Server FQDN and IP PORTS (Version 1.2, Update 26.11.2014) As we all know, we can configure Lync Edge Server in several way. 1) Single Edge Server with a SINGLE IP ADDRESS 2) Single Edge Server with MULTIPLE IP ADDRESSES (3x IPs) 3) Multiple Edge Server in a Pool, with MULTIPLE IP ADDRESSES (Zx 3 IPs) Regardless what we are going to configure, there are common / well-known TCP Port necessary making Lync work, which are: Access: Port: 443 and 5061 Conferencing: Port: 443 and (444) AV: Port: 443 (I have not listed other ports, e.g. STUN or the dynamic port range. This is not required for the topic discussed here) External FQDN with single IP address: What can we see here? If we are going to choose a single IP address, we would have TCP Port overlapping. Therefore the only way avoiding this is assigning other ports. Additionally we will also see and are reminded that Lync highly depends on DNS. If we have single IP, we must have use single, unique FQDN fo
