The URL that you provide comes with a message to advise the user of the upgrade to the latest Lync client version.
#Microsoft lync clients update#
When the user clicks on the notification, they will connect to the Microsoft Update web site (opens in new tab), where they can upgrade to the latest version.īut what about Allow with URL? Allow with URL lets you specify a custom URL rather than pointing to Windows Update. If Allow and upgrade is selected as the option for a specific client version, then when a user with that Lync client version next logs on, the user is presented with the tray notification shown below. Allow and Block are pretty self explanatory - Allow allows the specific Lync client version to log on to Lync 2010 whereas Block prevents specific Lync client versions from logging on to Lync 2010 but what is Allow and Block together with and upgrade and with URL? So what impact do these actions have on end users? My thanks to Jed Elerby for helping test these scenarios.

Important: If you install the 32-bit Microsoft Lync VDI Plug-in, the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office must not be installed on the client machine. For more information, see the white paper about Horizon 6 and Microsoft Lync 2013, at. This optimized architecture is highly scalable, results in lower network bandwidth used, and provides point-to-point media delivery with support for high-quality real-time VoIP and video. Whenever a Lync VoIP or video chat call occurs, the Lync VDI plug-in offloads all the media processing from the data center server to the client endpoint, and encodes all media into audio and video codecs that are optimized for Lync. End users can use the Microsoft Lync 2013 client for presence, instant messaging, Web conferencing, and Microsoft Office functionality. This architecture requires the installation of a Microsoft Lync 2013 client on the remote desktop and a Microsoft Lync VDI plug-in on the client endpoint. A dedicated IP phone is no longer required.
