I have had some interesting comments and emails around the first phase of the script. Some people had issues getting it working and others had issues with PSTN URI’s but hopefully this latest update will solve a lot of those issues along with adding a new UM lookup feature. This update removes the User.txt file and blanket enables for the whole deployment.
Download the script:
Again a big shout out to Angela and Jay from Melding Technology for taking the time to work on the script and make improvements. I am super grateful for the time and effort these guys have put into making this script both easier to use and added functionality. MSPL scripting is a great skill to have and these guys are proving through this community project what champions they are at it. If you would like some help on a project like this or general Lync deployment services and like what you see in this post please reach out to Melding Tech at Sales@MeldingTech.com.
Please let us know if you have any ideas or questions around the scripts use or functions. If you wish to make additional changes to the script please send me an email with updates. This is a community project so any updates, comments and changes are welcomed and remember to test in a lab first.
Below is extract from an email exchange I had with Jay around the improvements to the script. Please note that the script is downloadable from the link I provided above and below is only an extract of the entire script.
This is a new iteration on the script. It has more substantial changes than before. There are some key things that are different:
· Removed user filtering based on the users.txt file. Now the filter will apply to everybody. This makes easier handling both Lync calls and external phone calls.
· Fixed issues that prevented it to work when dialing Phone numbers directly vs Lync calls (we were using the incorrect uri to query for End points).
· The proxyByDefault option was changed to false. Now the script is responsible for redirecting as appropriate. Need to be careful when modifying to make sure the script does not generate dead ends.
· Added the following logic: If user is UM enabled, redirect to Voice mail right away, otherwise send busy response.
Important note: Since the script now redirects to Voice mail, there is a check to ignore requests going to the Voice mail itself to prevent a potential loop. When using the script it is necessary to replace the highlighted URI with the URI for Voice mail in your environment.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteamongst other your blog articles on the theme MSPL have been inspiring to our team but we have noticed that the normal admin can not utilize MSPL i.e. does not even know it exists. Thus we came to the conclusion to build the tool SimpleRoute with which it is easy and safe to generate MSPL scripts without any programming skills.
I will be happy if you could take a look at SimpleRoute and give me some feedback. The FREE-Edition of SimpleRoute is our calling card and is freely available at http://www.colima.de/en/products/simpleroute.html
If you like I could send you a trialversion of the PRO-Edition which offers extended functions. Because of the community being helpful to us we allow the use of the generated MSPL scripts. Thus the client benefits by saving time through the generating of valid scripts.
I look forward to your answer (you'll find my contact details on the Presence-Widget on the website mentioned above).
Best regards
Matthias
Hi Matthias,
DeleteI took a quick look at you web site and the tool looks great. I am sure there are a bunch of people that would be interested in your tool and also seeing it develop even further. Feel free to send me some screen shots and info and I would be happy to do a post about it. When i get time I will download the free version to try out in my lab.
Cheers
Chris
Good afternoon,
ReplyDeleteWhen reading your script, I stumbled on this description of proxyRequest:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd167433(v=office.12).aspx
and it seems, that voice mail redirection branch will generate error, since you have strictRoute="true" in script manifest. According to ProxyRequest() description it must be called without arguments, when strictRoute is true.
Hi:
DeleteThanks for your comment. I was taking a look to understand your point about the call to ProxyRequest(). I see your point. From the docs:
" If the request has a strict route (the "Route" header is present and populated), you must only pass the empty string as a parameter. Alternate destinations are not allowed in this case."
On the other hand, checking at the docs for the requestFilter element (where the strictRoute attribute is set): "Set strictRoute to true if you want the application to receive all messages. Setting the strictRoute filter to false guarantees that only requests that need routing will be delivered."
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg439282.aspx
In this case then, it means that we are getting both strict and non strict requests. I think in this case then, what might needs to be fixed is the strictRoute attribute. Still, the script works and does not generate errors because the flow of the code will only get to the call of ProxyRequest(toVoiceMail) with non strict requests.
Thanks for checking out the script!
Hello, I was wondering if you could please assist with a question I have? I have implemented the busybusy.am MSPL script with a high priority and calling non UM enabled users works great and I receive the expected busy tone. When I call UM enabling users this unfortunately fails, and while the Lync 2010 client does not error, the active call window just displays "Calling Lync..".
ReplyDeleteI think my issue is the value I have used for Exchange UM SIP URI. Using the OCSUMUtil application on my front end server I have confirmed my Subscriber Access SIP URI is DefaultUM.contoso.local@contoso.local. I was wondering if you could confirm if I am using the correct field? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The call should go straight to voice mail.
DeleteI am getting the same as @Andy
ReplyDeleteLync enabled user with no UM enabled - fine, busy works
Lynch UM enabled user strange thing happens, caller gets ringing and recipient doesn't get any call waiting or any pop up to say another call... only when the busy call is finished, an email is received telling of miss call.
Is there a way to also mix into the pool PSTN calls, when a PSTN calls a Busy Lync user, it just drops to normal dial tone, no busy... no voicemail nothing..
Help would be appreciated
excellent script btw
IMPORTNT:
ReplyDeleteI think response 600 is better.
It work on PSTN calls and in Lync it gives "user is on phone".
So modify
Respond( 600, "Busy here" );
And VOILA!
Also note, if you have phone normalization for incoming numbers, SIP uri will be very wrong. (not normalized number)
I will investigate that next...
It worked!
ReplyDeleteI have perfect SIP trunk now. Thanks guys.
I needed to modify SIP trunk call because toUri looked like
"sip:08xxxx009;phone-context=DefaultProfile@mydomain.fi;user=phone"
(with this code does not find user and think user is always "free")
(xxx are for my safe)
So i just modify it to look like
"sip:08xxxx009@mydomain.fi;user=phone"
This code is not direct use for everybody because I have normalization also here:
if (IndexOfString (toUri, "sip:xxxx", false) > -1) { // xxxx = your first digits in your linephone
toUri = Concatenate("sip:+358yyyy",SubString(toUri,10,3), "@mydomain.fi;user=phone");
Log( "Debugr", false, "***BusyBusy***: SIP TRUNK fix ", toUri);
}
If you want busy also when in conference call. (We did want)
ReplyDeleteHere it is:
if (IndexOfString(publication, "on-the-phone") >= 0) {
Log( "Debugr", false, "***BusyBusy***: endpoint in a call change to busy state" );
anyEndpointBusy = true;
break;
}
else if (IndexOfString(publication, "in-a-conference") >= 0) {
Log( "Debugr", false, "***BusyBusy***: endpoint in a conference change to busy state" );
anyEndpointBusy = true;
break;
}
else {
Log( "Debugr", false, "***BusyBusy***: endpoint not in call stay in free state" );
}
This line is returning NULL in every case tested: Where is determines the busy status of the callee.
ReplyDeletepublication = QueryCategory(toUri, 2, "state", dbEndpoint.Instance);

ReplyDeleteDoes this script work if your Lync environment has Enhanced Privacy mode enabled? If not, is there a work around?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteTrying to configure this script on our Lync 2013 environment, however it doesn't seem to work. Calls are still coming through when busy, both internal and PSTN.
This is my first encounter with MSPL scripts, have I created the it correctly (as follows)?
Identity : Service:Registrar:fepool1.mydomain.com/busybusy
Priority : 0
Uri : http://www.meldingtechnology.com/busybusy
Name : busybusy
Enabled : True
Critical : True
ScriptName : C:\scripts\busybusy.am
Script :
Can anyone advise whether this script should also work on Lync 2013?
Thanks,
Shaun
Hi,
ReplyDeletei just tried to implement the script on Lync 2013, but without success. When i activate the script with a priority lower than 7, no calls are routed after activating.
If I activate the script with a priority lower than 7, the script isn't used, i can see no log entries in the apilogger.exe
Any Ideas?
