Hey all,
Have a customer who is changing their primary SIP domain. CompanyA.net will finally be CompanyA.com, which is great for a lot of reasons. However, changing SIP domains is a little bit of a painful process.
I have already read this blog several times (great read, btw)

However, I have a problem that is mentioned in the comments there, that is not yet answered.
Within this customer's topology, I have the Simple URL's configured so that:
Unfortunately, their SMTP cutover to companya.com has already occurred, and we are finding that their Outlook Lync conferencing add-in is continuing to use meet.companya.net (the old simpleURL)
From within Lync, a meet now works, and builds the correct simpleURL meeting URL, but the Lync conferencing plug in seems to be oblivious to the change. The only way we've found to address this is to delete both their Lync and Outlook profiles and rebuild both. This is not an acceptable workaround for the amount of users we would need to address this on.
I have researched and found that their Lync conferencing addin saves the meet URLs in two registry paths:
- HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2497740874-3433287755-1094512302-1108\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\ConfAddin\Chris@companya.com
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\ConfAddin\Chris@companya.com
Unfortunately, my attempts at manual registry updates to address this also have not helped. Also, even if they did help, scripting this would be difficult since the SIP URI is a variable as well as the user GUID.
Anyone know a way to force the Lync conferencing Add-in to forget/requery its settings with minimal desktop impact? Any way to replicate this sort of change en masse would be really helpful.
