Hello,
We are using Lync 2013 with Lync 2013 server with CU from August 2014 (so not ready for Skype for Business).
I have installed latest Desktop Updates for Windows and Office, and now everytime we log on we get the Skype for Business UI with the question to restart the client with the Lync UI.
I have followed the recommendation in this article: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn954919.aspx
I have set this:
In the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync] key, create a new Binary value.
The Value name must be EnableSkypeUI, and the Value data must be set to 00 00 00 00.
But this settings seems to be completely ignored... doesn't do anything.
We can't set the policy on the server, as the server is not yet up-to-date and doesn't know about a Skype UI policy.
Can somebody please tell me how I can start the updated Lync / Skype for Business client with the Lync UI as a default (without disturbing the user with the restart-the-client pop-up)?
Thanks a lot!
