Confirm the versions installed on each. 2010 still says Lync. 2013 now gets
identified as Skype for Business. They are in fact one and the same product.
It's creating an unimaginable amount of confusion for us right now as we have
one of our clients who is moving to Lync / Skype for Business to replace one of
the conferencing solutions they use. They've actually been using/testing Lync
internally for a couple of years now and we've federated with them, etc., but
users don't know that Skype isn't really Skype, or is that Lync, or ... well,
you kind of see my point. :)

Subject: [NTSysADM] Lync / Skype
Hi all,
First off excuse the cross-post , but I wasn't sure if it should be the
Exchange or NT list;
To start forgive my ignorance here, but the last time I setup an MS
communication server it was just that , 2005 Live communication server, which
brings me to my question;
I'm doing a DR plan for a client, and their admin tells me they have a Lync
Server and a Skype for business server, I thought (and again forgive my lack
of exp) that Skype for business was the replacement for Lync, if that is indeed
the case why would they be running both?
the only thing I can tell you is that they have about 50 phones
TIA
