    I have a Lync 2010 Front End Server.  Everything is working just how I want it to.  I have it configured not to search through local Outlook contacts and that is working fine.  The one issue that I am seeing is with Distribution Groups.  When I search for Lync users the only users I see are Lync enabled users which is what I want.  However I do see all of the Distribution Groups that are created in Exchange.  How do I stop this from happening. 

    Thanks

    You will want to use Address Book filtering by setting the 0x4000 flag on the groupType AB attribute.  See the following article for more info.

    Thank you for the reply, would you please give more detail on how to accomplish this. We have been searching for the location of the flag and can't seem to locate it.

    Thank You

    Use SQL Management Studio to open the AbAttribute table in the rtc database on your SQL server and make the appropriate change to the groupType attribute.

    In Office Communications Server 2007 R2, if the parameter PartitionByOU is set to TRUE, then a user search returns only contacts of other users that are members of the same organizational unit (OU) as the user that submitted the search.

    Lync Server 2010 adds the attribute msRTCSIP-GroupingID onto user objects. It can be populated with the Globally Unique Identification (GUID) unique to users that need to be able to search for each other. Unless the user is a member of the tagged group, the search results will not display the user contacts.

    arg180 - there is an updated APSConfig utility that will help you with what you are trying to do.  http://blogs.technet.com/b/drrez/archive/2012/05/09/microsoft-lync-server-2010-resource-kit-tool-absconfig.aspx
