Chris Woodward comments on Frustration with the Lync 2013 client for Windows Phone 8

I can't figure this out either...
I can sign into my Office 365 online account NP from my computer, Win8 phone(Lync 2013) and the Win8 App but, other users can't on their Win8 phone. Keeps telling them they need to use Lync 2010.

Lync 2013 on my phone works using the @domain.onmicrosoft.com and then I have to click more details and add my real username for my local account. I don't use single signon.

Thanks for the comments, guys. We had a lot of fun putting it all together, so I thought others would enjoy seeing it.

I've never posted anything like this before, so it's good to hear that people like it.

This looks great! Especially the Harry Potter egg. You should at least rake in a bit of cash through brand sponsorship ;)

jonoble comments on Deleting AD Users with PowerShell - Why is a user not a leaf object?

Thanks Joe, I've edited the post to make it clearer. They are always containers, but they are often empty.

User objects are always container type objects, they just don't always contain other objects. :)

@thommck comments on R.I.P. Google Reader

Wow, and I thought I used reader a lot!
Maybe we should start a #showyourstats thing on twitter?

From your 88 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 2,766 items, clicked 194 items, starred 6 items, and emailed 0 items.
Since October 14, 2007 you have read a total of 93,345 items.

I was really angry about this news too but then I followed a link in an article from reader (oh the irony) and switched to Feedly in under a minute. It has everything I used in Reader and looks a whole lot nicer too!

I was so loyal to Reader and really appreciated it as one of the only Google services I still used. They did the same with their Google Notebook which was around before OneNote and Evernote. Funny how easily I was converted to other solutions. Not sure if I'm fickle or if that is just the way of the web?

I'm also having the same problem. At our work place we are running a Lync server. Lync 2013 for Windows 8 signs me in fine but not the Windows Phone 8 application. I guess the Lync 2010 app will just have to do for now...

Turns out it works fine with my NEBytes account.

The thing that bothers be isn't especially whether or not it works, but just how unclear they are about who it should work for.

I'm in a position to understand what's required for it to work. There are lots of people who might have bought their own phone and be trying to connect it up BYOD-style are just going to get a bad experience that reflects negatively on Microsoft (and on people trying to push Lync inside a reluctant organisation).
