I managed to get it working on my laptop. But I have not been able to get it working for collegues, even when they log on to the terminal server from my desktop. I cannot pair with the local plugin on another pc.... What could be wrong?

Hello, I have installed the VDI-Plug-In on a Windows 8 PC. But the lync software client has no connection to the local audio devices. The two display`s in the lync Client failed. Have you a idea? I have the same tested with a Windows 7 Client. With a Windows Embedded 7 Client have I no Problems. Thank for your help.

I am not able to get this working! Lync Client Pairing status is always: Lync is trying to use your local audio and video device, this never changes.

My client access device is Win8,RDP 8.0, 32bit. VDI plugin is v 15.0.4420.1017 ( No Lync Client )

My VDI device is Win8 x64 running under a hyper-V 2012 host, Lync Client 2013 15.0.4481.1000 kb2760512,kb2760556 installed.

Any help or guidance appreciated.

Hi Tarek,

There is a lot of talk about VDI.

But no information about Citrix Application Publish (Thru the Citrix Receiver)

Is the VDI plugin still requited in the scenario where Lync 2013 client would be published in a Citrix backend (on 2008 R2 SP1)

So not using the REAL VDI scenario...

thanks

Hi philldogger,

Yes, that will work. At my company (Nyenrode in Netherlands) we are doing a PoC right now with Lync2013 and are using Citrix XenApp (terminal server 2008 r2) with the Lync 2013 client in it. For Citrix support we are using the Tech Preview for this Lync Plug-in and it works, but also without Citrix it will work on terminal server 2008 r2.

We have thin clients connecting to terminal server 2008 r2, will this work if load lync 2013 and lync server 2013 or is it only VDI?

Hi Tarek,

Thanks for your answer. I already spoke with citrix and they confirmed that it shoudl work. At this moment the first test are there and everything looks fine. Now we will also test this on our VDI-in-the-Box solution.

Regards,

Jan
