You'll need to get an email address before you can get our Outlook add-in. All you'll need is the handy Skype plugin. I upgraded to the RTM version today, and OCS 2007 R2 is still functional. Go from emailing and chatting to making video and voice calls, right from your inbox. Restarted Outlook, restarted Communicator.Removed the aforementioned registry hack.Uninstalled Lync 2010, installed Communicator 2007 R2.32-bit Office 2010 w/ Lync 2010 client and this registry hack on 64-bit Win7 Syncing problems with Office 365 SharePoint sites sometimes they’re easy to resolve and sometimes they are very difficult, tedious and nearly impossible to resolve (unless you are very well acquainted with SharePoint-speak and have some pretty deep networking/IT/Microsoft knowledge).Just as a recap, here’s what I had going on: Here’s the full registry key and value that I changed to fix it: If one of the above is not configured or missing, the client will default to Do not join Audio. In looking at the two sub-keys, I could see “Lync” and “Communicator.” So, I took a guess and changed the value to “Communicator,” restarted Outlook, and–voila–I was in business! 2 Work Phone (If different from your Skype for Business line uri).

There’s a registry key that lets Outlook know what the default IM provider is, and this value was set to Lync on my workstation. After a bit of Googling and tinkering, though, I was able to find a solution to get things back on track. I decided that Office 2013 was more important than Lync 2010 and reverted to OCS 2007 in hopes that it would fix my woes, but it did not. I assumed this was because I was using an unsupported configuration with my 2010 Lync client connecting to an OCS 2007 server. As noted last week, I installed the Office 2013 Preview and was generally excited about it except for the fact that I wasn’t getting any presence information for contacts from Lync.
