The contactCard category instances contain various contact information about the local user. They are intended for share with members of the hosting containers other than the Blocked container.

legacyInterop category instance value element

100, 200, 300, 400, 32000

The legacyInterop category instances are created and published by Microsoft Lync Server 2013 to provide some backward compatibility for clients that do not support the enhanced presence data model. A legacyInterop category instance contains an availability number, the value of which corresponds to the availability number of the state[@type='aggregateState'] element category instance in the same container.

note category instance value element

100, 200, 300, 400, 32000

The note category instance in each container prescribes the presence note to be shared with or blocked to the members of the hosting container.

noteHistory category instance value element

100, 200, 300, 400, 32000

A noteHistory category instance is just a note category instance value element category instance with a registered category name of noteHistory. Such category instances are used to enumerate the most recently published note category instances and will appear in the presence feed of the container members who have subscribed to the note category instance value element category instances of the local user. By default the last three note category instances are published to Container 200, 300, and 400 and no such category instances are published to Container 100 and 3200.

state category instance value elements

100, 200, 300, 400, 32000

The state category instances in these containers are of the aggregateState type. They are produced by the aggregation script.

100, 200, 300, 400, 32000

The services category instances are produced by the aggregation script and represent the device-independent user-bound presence capabilities of the local user.
