Specify server

Specifies how Microsoft Lync identifies the server. If you enable this policy setting, you must specify the server name that Microsoft Lync uses. If you disable this policy setting, Microsoft Lync uses a DNS lookup to identify the server. If you do not configure this policy setting, the user can choose automatic configuration, or the user can specify the name of the server in Microsoft Lync user preferences. To set the user preferences, from the Microsoft Lync Tools menu, click Options, click the Personal tab, within the SIP Communications My Account area click Advanced, select Configure Settings, type the server name in the Server name field. Note: You can configure this policy setting under both Computer Configuration and User Configuration, but the policy setting under Computer Configuration takes precedence.
