Is Microsoft Lync 2010 Voice Supported on VMware View Composer 4.5?

I am deploying Lync 2010 Premire Plus for our new phone system. I also am looking to move forward with our VDI deployment of View. Is Microsoft Lync 2010 Voice Supported on VMware View Composer 4.5?

The issue that you could experience with VMware View 4.5 is USB Composite devices, we've had sucess in using USB headsets and microphones, but I know other sites have had issues.

Composer is the technology that allows you to deploy snapshots.
and just another tip, RDP doesn't support bi-directional audio. You will need to use a USB headset/soundcard in conjunction with VMware View USB device forwarding to use a microphone within the desktop.

Let me clairify alitttle.  we would be using PCoIP using usb headsets with vmware linked clones on an hp thin client
Yes, okay, I see no issues. Just ensure your HP Thin Clients have the latest firmware and VMware View Client.
Sorry for not taking you word for it but does anyone have any documentation that would indicate one way or the other? I would hate to make a 200k mistake.

oh, one final word, ask Microsoft the question "Microsoft Lync 2010 Voice Supported on VMware View 4.5/4.6".

I already know the answer, and I'm sure you do as well!
You got me, I was looking for someone that has deployed both lync voice and view. I think this answer will be sufficient for the question asked. I will repost with "Has anyone deployed Microsoft Lync 2010 Voice with VMware View 4.5 Linked Clones?"

Thanks
We've deployed with Linked Clones, that's how all our deployments have been - no issues - other than thin clients and usb hardware.
