Custom State Presence Tool
The Unify Square Custom States application allows users to easily define and manage up to 4 custom states for Microsoft Lync 2010 or Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 and 2007 R2. The user can define a custom state text and choose from one of the icons for “online”, “busy” and “do not disturb”. The icon for “away” is not supported as a custom state by Lync 2010 / Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 and 2007 R2.
The presence state texts are specific to the language of Lync 2010/Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 and 2007 R2. The application configures the state text for following languages:
| MUI Language |
LCID |
| Chinese (Simplified) |
2052 |
| Chinese (Traditional) |
1028 |
| Chinese – Hong Kong |
3076 |
| Czech |

| English – United States |

Users with an installed Lync client language pack that have selected a language that is not listed above will see the default text of the respective status (i.e. “online”, “busy”, “do not disturb”).
In addition, the application can also be used to enable the “Appear Offline” status.
Installation:
No installation is needed. The EXE file can be extracted and started right away. The needed configuration file is create automatically and stored in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Communicator.
Requirements:
To configure custom states, the user must have Administrator rights on the local machine.
The application modifies the Registry Key “EnableSIPHighSecurityMode” to disable high–security–mode. The value is “1” by default and prevents Lync/Communicator to access configuration files from HTTP or local drive locations. Since the Custom State configuration is stored locally (rather than on a HTTPS enabled webserver), high–security–mode needs to be disabled.

Make sure this change does not conflict with your corporate enterprise policies at any time. |
