MSPL will be a solution, but that will ask you some work like "Shane Powell" said.

The most easy way will be to use Powershell...

I use for my part "Get-CsConnections" from ehloworld.

Is a powershell script who it will shows you all the details of connection about any users.

With either UCMA or Lync Client SDK you can determine if one or more clients are logged in using presence subscription. This will give you a simple "there is a endpoint running somewhere or not", but that's not what you are asking for.

As far as I know, there is no way to do what you want with UCMA or the Lync Client SDK.

You can do it with the Lync Server SDK, but it will take some work. You can do with either a MSPL script (limited) or MSPL/C# proxy application (more options) that filters for REGISTER requests/responses.

From the register request you can determine if it's a register (coming online), unregister (going offline) or re-registration (replacing existing registration) by the expires header / contact uri expires parameter (0 == unregister).

You can determine the user type by the user-agent header, mainly between Lync Client (e.g. "UCCAPI/15.0.4771.1000 OC/15.0.4771.1001 (Skype for Business)"), Lync Phone, UCMA endpoint (e.g. RTCC/5.0.0.0 Xxxx).

You also need to handle registration timeout and re-registration.

With this knowledge you have a running knowledge of what user agents are running for the users you wish to track and do with what you wish.

So if you really want to do this, I would as a prerequisite to starting:

  • Get familiar with sip messaging.
  • Play around with building / running the examples in the Lync Server SDK.
