Address Book GAL status is shown as the internal address
-
10 Mart 2010 Çarşamba 14:44I have an issue with the GAL address book address being set to the internal address in OCS 2007 R2. I need it to be set to an external address so that external users can access this correctly. Does anyone know how to do this? I have tried with WBEMTEST and it continually crashes when I try to access the DB to change this account.
Does anyone know how to change this or to fix the error that I am getting when trying to access the DB via WBEMTEST.
Thanks
Mike

No idea why wbemtest is crashing for you
However the easiest way to change the external web farm fqdn is to use lcscmd. Details using lsccmd to make the change and the options can be found here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb803611.aspx

As Chris mentioned the best architecture is to configure the external web farm FQDN but there are cases where that is not possible. If you are in one of those situations you can use the appropriate process below. I know you are on R2 but I included the R1 link because it shows how to do it with wbemtest. The R2 link uses a different tool. You can use either.
Process for R1: http://mikestacy.typepad.com/mike-stacys-blog/2008/05/changing-the-ocs-internal-urls.html
Process for R2: http://mikestacy.typepad.com/mike-stacys-blog/2009/04/updating-the-ocs-r2-internal-urls.html

Hi Mikem1408,
Chris and MIke gave some good infomation for you how to change the external webfarm.
If you want to external users could download files from the Address Book Service, you would also need a reverse proxy.
You could refer to bleow: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd441312(office.13).aspx
Regards!

Hi Mike ,
Did you solve the problem? I have the same issue now. It looks GAL points to the internal server.
GAL Status;https://pool1.testlab.com:443/abs/handler;--;
so External lync clients cannnot download addressbook.
Thank you very much,
John

Same problem here for Lync 2010. I am trying to implement remote users. 2010. All works fine for local users. Remote clients connect normally but cannot download Address Book. When opening Lync client configuration information “DG URL External” shows correct external URL but “GAL Status” shows internal URL. I guess this is the problem.
Now, in order to fix that I have checked and changed back and forth the external web interfaces , republished topology, restarted services, server – nothing helps. I have spent hours googling for this issue. The suggested solution above using Wbemtest and changing the wmi info directly does not seem working for Lync 2010 – no such instance unless I am missing something.
I think Microsoft moderator should step forward and finally clarify this: where in the world this “GAL Status” is formed and how to modify it without server reinstallation. BTW there is very similar thread on this problem, no solution as well:
Please, help.
