Who Can Federate Tool: Check which Outlook contacts have Microsoft Lync

When I run the app on Windows 8 it starts but when you select "Scan" I get an error: Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{00063001-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed duet the following error: Library not registered.(Exception from HRESULT:0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED)).

Appears like it is not compatible with Win8. We will need to take a look at that.

I have Windows 8(x64), Outlook 2013(x32), Exchange 2010. This utility works great!   Thanks Matt

Hi Matt

Great program which i am using to put the case for Lync implementation into one of my clients however i may be missing something as i cant work out what L column is for, it shows small black marks against some names and none against others can you please explain??

Thanks

items with a mark in the L column are domains that are not yet in the WCFTool database. 

thanks for using the tool.

Hi Mattis,
Great tool but i cant see the results.its empty but it says contacts scanned: 16

That is the number of contacts that are scanned for federation (i.e. number of contacts in your contact list), but not the "Hits:" of federated contacts (and associated list).

I installed the tool on a Windows 8 PC running Outlook 2010 / Exchange 2010, but I don't see any contacts or suggested contacts

Appears like it is not compatible with Win8. We will need to take a look at that.

Hi,

I am getting "Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))" when trying to scan. Started app as administrator, Windows 7, Outlook 2010 chached mode.

/mk

Can you try when not cached and see if that makes any difference?
Thanks,

why are you sending email back to your gmail account everytime we run the tool with domains we are checking?  What else are you extracting?

Thanks for that question.

In the instruction we note in red: 
Please note: if you do not want to submit domains via email to the Lync Federation Directory Project, uncheck "Auto Submit..." 

By using the WCF tool and submitting domains, you are helping the Lync Who Can Federate Directory. (http://bit.ly/lyncfed) If you uncheck "Auto Submit" you will not be helping the Lync Who Can Federate Directory and that is your choice. ;-)

The new "Who Can Federate Live!" feature AWLAYS sends domains to the  Lync Who Can Federate Directory, so do not use this feature if you do not want to help with the directory. 

Finally, none of your contacts are sent. What is sent is domains that have Lync. What is sent looks something like this:

microsoft.com
hp.com
dell.com

Thanks! 

Hi Matt,

Is this tool able to scan contacts in outlook public folders?  

Thanks

at the moment it does not, but considering adding to more places to search. Exchange and gmail are some considerations. No promises.

Hi,

When I run the setup.exe, I get error
"Cannot download the application. The application is missing required files. Contact application vendor for assistance.

Part of error log says
RROR SUMMARY
	Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.
	* Activation of C:\Users\LeeWo\Downloads\Compressed\WCFTool\Application Files\WCF Tool_1_0_0_5\WCF Tool.application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:

Oh, I moved the unzipped folder to c:\ and now it works. Thanks.

I need to check why it is doing that. thanks for reporting.

Hi, 

Don't know if it's just me but I do not see the download link on the site?
Hope you can help. Would love to try this out.

Thanks

Alex.

@Alex, my bad, accidentally removed it. Give me an hour and it will be back up. Apologies!

@Alex, okay, the download is available again. 

Thanks for the answer,

but that leads me to the next question :-)
To you have a rough timeline for the commercial edition?

Thanks.

Whaas,

Demand drives the roadmap. ;-) Seriously we are very nimble.

How many users do you have? 

~ 250 users, but it will also depend on the price, if we are able to purchase it.
