My bigger issue with the Lync client is for me it stops receiving incoming calls approximately every two days. We did previously get bit by the GAL Mavericks issue and every once and a while I'll get a call from tech ops, but usually it someone who managed to still be using like 14.0.7. I haven't heard any reports of the GAL issue and I am pushing out 14.0.11 but I will keep my ear to the ground. I bit the bullet and really ate the dog food, my phone is a sennheiser headset and Lync. There are so many better chat/video/collaboration tools out We are all in Unified Messaging here. Just not sure what's going on with it and the silence from them has been deafening.Īs far as I'm concerned Lync kind of sucks anyway, and the only reason you'd use it is because of an MS communication server in your organization.
Given this, I'm baffled at both the lack of updates and the broken update URL their product is still pointed to. We'll be lucky if its not a year before we move to it. I reached out to our MS rep regarding this, he passed it on to someone else in the org responsible for Lync and I've gotten nothing but crickets.Įven if Skype for Business is right around the corner, surely Microsoft must know businesses aren't going to make such a switch overnight. The last update it refers to is 14.0.10, and the download DMG it references is non-existent. The update URL for Lync that the MS Auto Update application uses has more or less been broken for months now. Yeah, not really sure myself on what's going on with Lync.
