Avenging_Mikon posted:Our fresh images on machines come with Skype for Business, AND Skype, but we use Lync, and when you first launch Skype for Business it will downgrade automatically to Lync. But it confuses the hell out of users, because there's also some bug where if you search the start menu for Lync, you get nothing, but search Skype for Business and you get lync.exe. I've been doing more Exchange than Lync/SfB lately so I might be mistaken, but there should be a client policy that forces either the Lync client 'experience' or the Skype one. Depending on server version (Lync10/13/SfB15/Online) there are different ways to do that but all on-prem ones are (assuming you actually want SfB code:On a sidenote I think the lync.exe thing is hilarious because MS had just managed to get all of the registry, appdata folder names, executables and whatnot ported over from OCS' communicator.exe to lync.exe starting at version 2013 when they decided to rename their product and start the whole thing over again... So in case you weren't aware, it's supposed to be that way. I believe that all you do is start SfB (lync.exe) and then downgrade to the Lync client experience hence the confusion. Yes, it's not the best idea the Office team ever had. also yeah This conversation is saved in the Conversations tab in Lync and in the Conversation History folder in Outlook. "This conversation is saved in the Conversations tab in Lync and in the Conversation History folder in Outlook."

Avenging_Mikon posted:This is all great info, but unfortunately, I'm just the guy people call when they can't figure stuff out. The people in charge of setting up the machines are a different group, and they...don't like advice. I don't even know what they use to image computers. It's like a black box over there. Requests go in, results go out, but no one knows how it happens. Condolences, mismanaged skype can be pretty lovely to deal with. Not too much you can do. Farking Bastage posted:After testing Skype for business, we're using Microsoft Teams now " since we already pay for it with 365" It's as if Google Wave and MS project had a love child on a full moon. Arguably it's worse than that. I think it's more of a bastard child of Exchange and SharePoint with a hint of Skype. It's probably meant to replace a) the (pin-sized) hole left in the MS messaging suite when lync/OCS persisten group chat died an on-prem death and b) compete with slack et al. (ha!) However Microsoft being Microsoft, they might iterate on it and make it work. It's basically better and more integrated than persistent chat was already
