To get the whole thing working, you will need a TMG and an Edge server. It is quite an intricate setup, but far from impossible.

Hi,<br />
<br />
i have been tasked with installing lync 2010 for 25 people, but must meet the following requirements::<br />
<br />
- Must have Mobility Services on iphone/android<br />
- Have access to lync from outside the office - like outlook anywhere<br />
- Have Video conferencing enable<br />
- Be able to share desktop/program/powerpoint<wbr />/whiteboar<wbr />d (all the lync features really)<br />
- video call<br />
- IM (of course)<br />
<br />
I have read a few articles but all seem too complicated requiring TMG servers, and Edge servers, i have tried all this with free trials but really am pulling my hair out with it.. <br />
<br />
Am i going about this all the wrong way? do i really need at TMG Server? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

installing Lync 2010

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.

Microsoft Server Apps

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).

Chat / IM

Web conferencing describes various types of online collaborative services including web seminars ("webinars"), webcasts, and peer-level web meetings. In general, web conferencing is made possible by Internet technologies, particularly on TCP/IP connections. Services may allow real-time point-to-point communications as well as multicast communications from one sender to many receivers. It offers data streams of text-based messages, voice and video chat to be shared simultaneously, across geographically dispersed locations. Applications for web conferencing include meetings, training events, lectures, or presentations from a web-connected computer to other web-connected computers. Popular titles include GoToMeeting, Cisco WebEx, Microsoft Lync, TeamViewer and Skype.
