Ive been doing a fair bit of work around coexistence and migration lately and throwing contact lists around all over the place using dbimpexp. In light of this, I thought itd be a good idea to do up a post to help you understand what dbimpexp. Lync implementationmigration or during day to day operations. If youve had experience backing up or restoring OCS 2. R2 or Lync Server, chances are youll be familiar with dbimpexp. Its very helpful for moving contact lists in a DR situation or between deployments in different domains. The only constant is that the SIP address must be the same when exporting or importing, so theres no dependency on the AD domain that the contact lists have been exported from or are being imported into. What is Dbimpexp Essentially as per Microsoft, its a utility for exporting, managing and importing XML files containing homed resource data from a Microsoft Lync Server 2. SQL database. When they say homed resource data, they mean user contact lists and conference directories. Dbimpexp allows you to import or export users contact lists either on a per user basis or a bulk pool wide basis. Using dbimpexp. exe. Dbimpexp. exe is located in C Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Lync Server 2. Support on a Lync Front End Server. Youll be running it on one of your Enterprise Edition Front End servers or your Standard Edition server to export or import users contact lists. The commands are slightly different for Standard and Enterprise Edition Front Ends, so Ill cover both in the following sections. Exporting Contact Lists. So the first thing we want to do is get those contact lists out of one serverpool so we can have them stored to restore in the event of failure, or so we can import them into a new server where the SIP domain is the same. We can export the contact list of an individual or the contact lists of all users on the serverpool. Standard Edition. For Lync Server Standard Edition, we run the following commands to export users contact lists. For a Single User. This will export out an XML file of the contact list for the single user you specify dbimpexp. So an example of this would be dbimpexp. C justin. xmlFor all users homed on the server. This will export out an XML files of all users contact lists on the serverpool dbimpexp. An example of this would be dbimpexp. C allusers. xmlEnterprise Edition. For Lync Server Enterprise Edition, we need to specify the backend SQL instance to connect to that the rtc database resides on. Run the following commands to export users contact lists from your Enterprise Edition Front End pool For a Single User. This will export out an XML file of the contact list for the single user you specify dbimpexp. SQL Server FQDNinstance name hrxmlfile lt path that you want to write the xml file to So an example of this would be dbimpexp. SQL0. 1. justin morris. LYNC hrxmlfile C justin. For all users homed on the pool. This will export out an XML files of all users contact lists on the serverpool dbimpexp. SQL Server FQDNinstance name hrxmlfile lt path that you want to write the xml file to So an example of this would be dbimpexp. SQL0. 1. justin morris. LYNC hrxmlfile C justin. Importing Contact Lists. So now that weve exported our contact lists from the source serverpool, we can take the XML files that dbimpexp has created and import the contact lists into the target serverpool. The only difference between the export and import commands is that to import users, you need to specify the import switch and the restore type switch of restype user which is different from restype all which will attempt to import the conference directories also. Standard Edition. For Lync Server Standard Edition, we run the following commands to import users contact lists. For a Single User. This will import the contact list from the XML file for the single user you specify dbimpexp. So an example of this would be dbimpexp. C justin. xml restype user. For all users homed on the server. This will import all users contact lists on the serverpool from the XML file you specify dbimpexp. An example of this would be dbimpexp. C allusers. xml restype user. Enterprise Edition. For Lync Server Enterprise Edition, we run the following commands to import users contact lists. For a Single User. This will import the contact list from the XML file for the single user you specify dbimpexp. SQL Server FQDNinstance name hrxmlfile lt path where the xml file resides restype user. So an example of this would be dbimpexp. SQL0. 1. justin morris. LYNC hrxmlfile C justin. For all users homed on the pool. This will import all users contact lists on the serverpool from the XML file you specify dbimpexp. SQL Server FQDNinstance name hrxmlfile lt path where the xml file resides restype user. So an example of this would be dbimpexp. SQL0. 1. justin morris. LYNC hrxmlfile C allusers. Conclusion. So as you can see, its a really good tool to have up your sleeve. Its great for restoring data after youve had to do a force move of users or have just rebuilt a new server and have a working Front End ready to go.
