Microsoft Lync 2010 for the iPhone and iPad Released

By Curtis Johnstone, on December 20th, 2011

February 23, 2012 Update:

A significant update was made to the Android client. The big news is that the Android client now supports call via work. Ken Lasko has an excellent write-up on this update at: http://ucken.blogspot.com/2012/02/lync-mobile-for-android-updated.html.

The long awaited official Microsoft Lync 2010 clients for the iPhone and iPad were released on the Apple App Store this morning:

A good tip from Tommy Clarke is to watch for Lync iOS clients connected through a corporate WiFi that do not have the root Certificate Authority installed: http://www.ultimate-communications.com/2011/12/lync-for-ios-and-certificates/.

This completes the Lync client releases for all major smartphone platforms. Earlier this month the Android and Windows . . . → Read More: Microsoft Lync 2010 for the iPhone and iPad Released

Lync Client and Server Cumulative Update Package (CU4)

By Curtis Johnstone, on December 6th, 2011

The latest Lync Client and Server update (as of December 6, 2011) was released a couple of weeks ago and is called Cumulative Update (aka ‘CU4’). I finally had a chance to read about it and install it.

It can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?&id=11551. The associated knowledge base article is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2493736

Note: this udpate is referred to as the “Cumulative update for Lync Server 2010: November 2011” in the mobility documentation.

"Profiles for Lync" - a Lync Client Profile Manager

By Curtis Johnstone, on December 5th, 2011

I was about half-way through writing a similar Lync client extension, when I was alerted to a similar little Lync application called “Profiles for Lync”.

“Profiles for Lync” is a small Windows application that manages, and allows you to switch between, multiple Lync client profiles. This is particularly useful if you have several Lync environments that you connect to from the same client machine. For me, I have my main Lync ‘production’ environment, a Lync Online account, and several Lync lab identities.

This tool allows me to easily switch between environments.

You can read about is and download it here: https://greiginsydney.com/profiles-for-lync/#more-740.

Great work Greig!
