Group Configuration File Names
You specify the name of the group configuration files in the Cisco Support Field on the CSF device configuration in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
If you remove the name of the group configuration file in the CSF device configuration on Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, Cisco UC Integration for
Microsoft Lync detects the change, prompts the users to sign out, and loads the global configuration file. You can remove the name of the
group configuration file in the CSF device configuration by deleting the entire configurationFile=group_configuration_file_name.xml string or by deleting the group configuration filename from the string.
If users have desk phone devices only, use the following command line argument to specify unique names configuration files for different groups:
