Ståle Hansen - Understand how video works in lync and how video interoperability can be utilized
This document discusses improvements to video in Lync 2013, lessons learned from the Lync Room System, and updates on Lync video interoperability. Key points include: Lync 2013 supports up to 1080p video and larger conferences; ensuring proper Group Policy and certificate configuration for Lync Room Systems; and that Pexip and Acano solutions now enable application sharing in interoperability scenarios between Lync and other vendors like Polycom and Cisco.

Easy management by assigning Active Directory groups and domain users administrative rights. Joining to a domain has benefits When joining LRS to a domain, pay attention to • • • GPOs (Group Policy objects) assigned to the OU (organizational unit) create a separate OU if possible. Block Inheritance and No Override can cause unwanted effects - check! Also settings for auto lockout, power management, additional authentication, access to local drives, auto start of applications, and so on. @ @NICconf
