Polycom vvx 500 Questions with Skype for Business

[Tkrebs]

We are starting to replace our old Lync Phone edition phones with vvx500 phones running 5.5.2.8571.

We would like to be able to display the users DID as well as their name just like the old Lync phone edition. Is this possible.  We did find the article that shows how to change the name by using the reg.1.useTelUriAsLineLabel option but this only shows the extension number and not the full DID.

Is it possible for user contact picture from AD to display for incoming and ongoing call?

Is there are way to enable a soft key or screen option to send an incoming call directly to voicemail.

Is there a way for the phone to search the Lync directory as you dial like Lync phone edition does?

I know you can click the icon for directory or go into search.  What I am looking for is when start typing a number it goes to search or directory vs dialer/dialpad.
