Microsoft Lync Server 2013 Hosting Pack Integration 4.7

The following new features and changes are introduced with the Integration version 4.7:

  • The capability to view the Windows Active Directory Domain Names and User Names in CCP and MyCP. This functionality helps subscribers to configure IP desk phones for their users and also allows the users themselves to obtain this information quickly and configure their own IP desk phones in an easier way.
  • The capability to assign Lync license and phone number to user in a single API call. The "Assign Lync License to Service User" API method is supplemented with the ability to specify whether a phone number should be assigned to a user license. The input parameter userId now supports both APS ID and PA ID.
  • The ProvisioningEndPoint-*.zip file is renamed to LyncHostingPack-*.zip and is shipped inside MicrosoftLyncHostingPackV2-4.7-*.app.zip.
