Configuring User Federation, Remote Access, and Public IM in Lync

By Curtis Johnstone, on May 31st, 2011

If you are configuring the Federation, Remote Access, or Public IM (PIC) features for Lync users in a script (i.e. that is part of a nightly process), you might be confused by 3 potentially different methods of configuring these features:

1) Lync External Access Policies

Set with the New-CsExternalAccessPolicy cmdlet

2) Lync User Attributes

Available on the Get-CsUser Powershell cmdlet: EnabledForFederation EnabledForInternetAccess PublicNetworkEnabled

3) User AD Settings for Federation and Remote Access

msRTCSIP-FederationEnabled msRTCSIP-InternetAccessEnabled msRTCSIP-OptionFlags (contains a bitmask value which sets the PIC feature)

If you have a background administering user features in OCS, you might be tempted to reuse an existing OCS script for Lync to configure these feature . . . → Read More: Configuring User Federation, Remote Access, and Public IM in Lync

Lync Updates Available on Microsoft Update

By Curtis Johnstone, on May 10th, 2011

Several people have inquired about this in the past.

Today, the Microsoft Lync team officially announced that both the Microsoft Lync Client and Server Updates are Available on Microsoft Update. They also acknowledged that this is the first time, which explains why the previous updates, such as January 2011, were not available.

The April updates should be available as of today.
