That might sound a bit careless but, if needed, certain domains can be blocked from federation. Of course, it’s also possible to opt for you domain federation to be open, so that everybody can freely federate through the Lync Online environment. The default setting for domain federation is closed, which means that you have to add every new domain as a federation partner. Crucially, the partner you want to federate with either has to have an open federation, or they need to add you as a federation partner. These can be regular on-premise Lync environments, or other Lync Online enabled environments. Domain Federation – this lets the Lync Online domain communicate with other Lync-enabled domains.

In the Lync Online Control Panel you can control: To start, open the Microsoft online portal as the domain administrator, and select Domains under the Management Section (on the left of the screen): In my previous article, I registered a domain in Office365, and enabled Exchange Online to now enable Lync for this domain is literally just a matter of a few mouse clicks. There are things in the Office365 environment that aren’t that nice at the moment but will probably be solved before Office365 enters the ‘general availability’. This is going to be aimed at giving you the Office365-specific information you need to get this working, soīut first I’d like to do a heads-up warning: Office365 is still in beta which means it is a platform in development. I’ll also give you a taste of what this great product makes possible.

If you’re still reading, then that probably sounds like an attractive proposition to you! In this article, I will demonstrate how to correctly set up Lync Online in just 15 minutes, including using the Microsoft Online Services Connector to configure the client software running on the workstation. If you’re already familiar with regular Lync, the online flavor provides all of this functionality (although full telephony will not be available to start with), but with the added bonus of the services being hosted in Microsoft’s cloud, so you don’t have to worry about installation and maintenance.

If this sounds familiar, that’s because Lync is the next evolution of Office Communications Server. If you’ve never used Lync before, then you should know that Lync is a core part of Microsoft’s Unified Communications solution, pulling together voice calls, video calls, instant messages, live meetings and shared whiteboard sessions into a single interface. As we also saw, Lync Online is one of the powerful services being offered as part of the Office365 product suite, and now we’re going to take a closer look at setting that up. As I demonstrated, it is really easy to set this up and start using either the Outlook Web App, and Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010. In my previous article on Simple-Talk, I explained how to setup Exchange Online in Office365. Office365 and Lync Online - Simple Talk Skip to content
