Skype for Business Search

Question

Hi guys! I have a contact saved in GAL, is there a way to find him by searching for his displayname (currently the only way I find him is by searching for the e-mail). External communication is allowed in Skype for Business settings. Thanks for any help!

Hi,
Is it a Contact object in Active Directory? If yes add the SIP address to the attribute msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress and you should see it in Skype.

Hi Linus Cansby,
no it is not a Contact objects in AD. It is a Contact in GAL. I can't find him by displayname but by his emailaddress.

Hi Michael,
Please run Get-CsClientPolicy |select SearchPrefixFlags , AddressBookAvailability in the SFB management shell. Check SearchPrefixFlags is 255 and AddressBookAvailability is websearchonly
When I create a contacts called “leontest” like the following screenshot.
I could search it in the SFB client .

Hi Leon,
when I send Get-CsClientPolicy | select SearchPrefixFlags , AddressBookAvailability , it returns litteraly nothing for SearchPrefixFlags. When I try to set SearchPrefixFlags it retruns an error. I am logged in as an O365 administrator.
PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-CsClientPolicy |select SearchPrefixFlags , AddressBo
okAvailability
SearchPrefixFlags AddressBookAvailability
