Got a question regarding Lync Federation. &nbsp;Currently we have federation turned on so that its dynamic, so anyone can connect to us. &nbsp;However, another company we do business with (big company has not turned on dynamic) and we can not simply ask them to allow us for federation. &nbsp;I know the trick for live addresses not using the msn domains and it works (example: user.name(domain.com)@msn.<wbr />com but how can i talk to those users using Lync if they dont federate me/cant federate me? &nbsp;Am i really out of luck and have to continue using MSN to talk to them? &nbsp;

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).
