Cisco Jabber is being deployed in my ORG.
I am interested in knowing if Lync 2013 can be used as a Client (No Lync Server is available)

Earlier i have used Lync 2013 as client and MS Communicator Server (2007) as back-end through some registry changes.

I know XMPP gateway is required for Lync 2013 Server for Inter communication with Cisco Unified communication.

Any pointers in this direction will be helpful

  • I don't feel savvy enough to expand it into an answer, but: 1. It is possible to a certain extent. Some components are interoperable. 2. It is not a very good idea, unless you really have to. What functionality do you intend to share? Jul 20, 2015 at 12:59
  • I am looking to just use the IM Feature... nothing more

Lync client cannot work as an XMPP client. XMPP supports in Lync is only relating to gateway. It means that users of a Lync Server can talk with users of an XMPP server. However, it does not mean you can use Lync client to connect directly to an XMPP server.

  • Ohh, So its kinda limitation of Lync, but i heard lync is extensible, do you konw any plugin that lync client can install that lets it talk directly to XMPP Server :)

  • No idea, never heard of such plugin. Jul 22, 2015 at 7:51
  • Wouldn't this be enough? Gateway - if you just plan to use IM. Jul 22, 2015 at 10:57
