Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Richard Stovall [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 2:32 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Lync 2010 I've been asked to check out options for corralling / bringing IM in-house. Current policy allows employees to use AIM, etc. but that's going to change. If they want to use IM in the future, they'll have to use the company-provided solution, whatever that turns out to be. Since we're a Microsoft shop, I started to install a trial of Lync 2010 on a shiny new VM in our production domain, but stopped when the installer said, "OK. Let's extend your Active Directory schema." I can certainly build a test domain to play with, but the real test will be getting the current IM users (we've only got about 10) to buy into the new solution. I was planning on setting it up and letting them run with it during the trial period. My dilemma is that I hesitate to modify the schema if we might ultimately decide against using the product, yet I need real people on the company domain to use the software in a genuine work setting. Are the schema extensions 'benign' enough (for lack of a better word) to not worry about in case we uninstall Lync after the demo and go with another solution? Thanks for any input, RS Potentially relevant info: Small shop with ~50 total users, AD = 2008 R2 DFL and FFL, Exchange 2010 with a few mailboxes yet to migrate from 2003. ShoreTel phone system.
