Microsoft lync for mac 2015 upgrade#

Our messaging team is working on a back end upgrade to Skype for Business 2015 server, which is supposed to bring back file sharing. SfBfM lost the ability to share files through chat, but video conference and group chat do work. Also, on the Advanced Options of the sign-in page, the username needs to also be entered and uncheck Auto-Detect, entering in both the internal and external discovery address fields. Other requirements - SfBfM did not work on Yosemite but is fine on Sierra. 992, and use the SIP address instead of the format that the Skype client suggests, but it works.

To get Skype working, we had to upgrade Lync 2013 to CU. We're currently on Lync Server 2013 and only have corporate network access, using SfBfM and the mobility piece is not enabled. Basically, I need an app that can connect to the Lync server back end that is not 32-bit and not SfBfM.Īre you using Lync Server 2013 or Skype for Business 2015?Īlso, are you looking for external access or just use while on the corporate network? It sounds like a great win, in practice, however our infosec sees that as a MASSIVE security hole and so far has blocked access to that for all but a select few users. So that means that I can take my un-trusted mobile device (aka my iPhone), download the public facing Skype for business app, and then connect with my work credentials. Specifically this part: your account must be enabled for Mobility

In addition, your account must be enabled for Mobility. The client has the same requirements as our mobility clients in that you must have an Access Edge Server and Reverse Proxy deployed in a supported configuration. The Skype for Business on the Mac client leverages both the Unified Communications Management Platform (UCMP) as well as the Unified Communications Web API (UCWA) that our mobility clients use. It comes down to this: Infrastructure requirements for Skype for Business on the Mac
