Some Lync discussion

  • Offer assistance is more about sharing an app

Awesome docs presentation.

  • The lync video was small with lots of real estate on the side.
    • Perhaps the work flow needs to be tweaked
  • The 20 user cap was an issue. Needs to be discussed by Governance.
  • adding more converence servers in the future

Lync distribution:

  • Keith Sumlar’s SCCM tips helped and works
  • Chris Clausen’s GPO also works well

New AD can’t allow delegate GPO policy creation.

  • Request new GPO and a shell policy will be created and then you will be given full control on the policy.
  • Helps with Audits
  • Have a dream to have a web page to allow requesting for GPO’s.
    • Low on the priority list

New EDE may be the way in the future to create resources.

Address / resource changes can take 0-48 hours to propogate.

Looking at the possibility of personal auto-archiving rules in the future.

Lync from home on mac delays is caused by caching of the internal servers.
