Hey All,
So here we are with our trusty OCS 2007 R2 deployment sitting alongside a shiny new Lync 2013 back-end with merged topologies and ready for user migration. Currently all our users (4000) are running the OCS 2007 R1 client.
Can you share any experiences of the following scenarios and what the end user experience should be during our migration from OCS to Lync. (by the way , the end users will actually be using the Skype for Business 2015 client, part of Office 2013 click to run).
1. Can legacy OCS 2007 R1 clients share content with a migrated Skype user, by initiating from within a IM chat window? (i/e invite them to joing a LiveMeeting)
2. Can newly migrated Skype users share content with legacy OCS users, by initiating from within a IM chat window? (i/e invite them to a native Lync sharing session?)
3. Should a newly migrated Skype user be able to schedule and invite legacy OCS clients to a "skype meeting" from Outlook using the new Skype Meeting Outlook button? The Legacy OCS client will join via the Lync web app, right?
So far I am getting the feeling we need the OCS 2007 R2 client on our 4000 strong user base, but we were told this was not necessary at the beginning...
What your views and experiences? Anything you can share will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
