Configure Lync 2010 Group Chat Manually

 

Topic Last Modified: 2012-01-29

If the Domain Name System (DNS) has not been configured to return the appropriate SRV records, manually enter the account configuration information used to install the servers.

Note

We recommend automatically configuring account information for Microsoft Lync 2010 Group Chat. For details, see Configure Lync 2010 Group Chat Automatically.

To log on with manual configuration

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, and then click Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Group Chat.

  2. In the Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Group Chat Login dialog box, in the Account list, click Edit Accounts.

    Note

    If the Edit Accounts dialog box is read-only, the system administrator has configured another account by using Group Policy objects, making that the only account available.

  3. In the Edit Accounts dialog box, click Add.

  4. In Display Name, type a name for the new account. This name is used on the Accounts menu of the Group Chat Login dialog box the next time that you sign in to Lync 2010 Group Chat.

  5. To use single sign on (SSO), select the Use my Windows credentials to log in automatically check box.

  6. Type the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 host name, by doing one of the following:

    • If you are installing Group Chat in a Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Group Chat environment that is running Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Enterprise Edition, type the pool name.

    • If you are installing Group Chat in a Lync Server 2010, Group Chat environment that is running Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Standard Edition, enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Standard Edition server.

    Port resets to the correct value.

  7. In Chat Room Domain, type the domain portion of the Lookup Server's SIP Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

  8. If using the default SIP URI (OCSChat@<domainName>.com), select the Use Default Server Address check box. Otherwise, type the SIP URI of the Lookup Server (specified during server installation).

  9. When all the settings are as you want them, click OK.

The name of the newly-created configuration is added to the Accounts box.
