If you want to search only Lync sip enabled users in Lync search List then here is the answer. By default Lync address book service scans AD for address book & Lync only adds users to its address book if is able to find or normalize to a valid phone number (E.164). The Address Book service uses the normalization rules in company_phone_number_normalization_rules.txt

But in my case I just want to add Microsoft Lync SIP enabled users in Microsoft Lync client search list.

So lets get start,

Download Microsoft Lync Resource Kit from below URL and install it on front end Lync server.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21165

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\ResKit & open ABSConfig.exe

Here I am going to include only Lync SIP enabled users in Lync address book, so in "Only include users that have a value for this AD attribute" should be msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress

Click on Apply changes & close the ABS configuration tool. Wait for 0-24 hours to populate the Lync address book & see the results. Or you can refer below guide to manually change the Lync address book download interval.

While working on Microsoft Lync few users reported me that they are not able to view all Lync contacts. Follow below process to solve Lync contact search issue,

1. Open Microsoft Lync management shell & run Update-CsUserReplicatorConfiguration command, This process synchronizes data between Active Directory and the Lync SQL database.

PS C:\> Update-CsUserReplicatorConfiguration -verbose

2. Now run PS C:\> update-csaddressbook -verbose command

Above command trigger the Microsoft Lync Server to synchronize current Active Directory information in the Lync SQL database into the downloadable client and device address book files. (i.e. GalContacts.db & GalContacts.db.idx )

Now Update Lync Clients address book download interval- The address book does not populate itself immediately it takes 0-24 hours to populate the contacts. To change the Lync address book download interval follow below process,

Execute the following command from the Windows Command Prompt to add registry entry (run as an administrator) to change the address book download interval,

reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Communicator /v GalDownloadInitialDelay /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Now open C:\Users\santosh\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Communicator folder replace Santosh with actual username & delete Lync profile i.e. sip_santosh@mytricks.in OR delete the Lync address book files (i.e. ) i.e. GalContacts.db & GalContacts.db.idx ) from C:\Users\santosh\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Communicator\sip_santosh@mytricks.in (replace sip_santosh@mytricks.in with actual user name.

Close the Lync client completely & sign-in. wait for 5 min & search for the Lync contacts. After login to Lync client you will see the new address book files i.e. GalContacts.db & GalContacts.db.idx downloaded from Lync front end server in your Lync folder.
