Lync Link List
Monday, 16 March 2015
In my travels I collect lots of links to pages about Microsoft Lync and Skype for Business. If you're looking for a particular solution to a Lync or S4B problem, some of these might help!
This list is not in any particular order, nor addresses every issue a Lync administrator might come across. I offer no guarantee for any link. Caveat emptor.
