Lync 2013 dials the number that calls are forwarded to instead of the last dialed number

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

• A user (user A) configures Microsoft Lync 2013 to forward unanswered calls to another user (user B). For more information about how to do this, go to More information.

• A user (user C) makes a call to user A in Lync 2013. Then, the call is forwarded to user B.

• User C redials the last dialed number in Lync 2013.

In this scenario, Lync 2013 dials to user B incorrectly.

Cause

This issue occurs because Lync 2013 does not check whether a call is forwarded before it updates the lastDialedNumber setting. Therefore, Lync 2013 considers the number that calls are forwarded to the last dialed number incorrectly.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, install the following update:

2881070 August 2014 update for Lync 2013 (KB2881070)
