Lync 2010 Training material

Waria Ahmed

Is anyone aware of of any training material for Lync Server 2010?

Cant find any cbt's and im not sure about what book is good for this subject.

Would rather self study this rather than book a course.

Last year I attended Lync training through Global Knowledge and although it was very good it left many questions unanswered. The blogs below filled that gap and were instrumental in the successful deployment in my environment which included IM, web conferencing, mobility, and Polycom video conference integration.

- Mastering Microsoft Lync Server 2010
- Jeff Schertz’s Blog – Lync Server MVP : Jeff Schertz's Blog
- Microsoft UC Made Easy
- The Lync Guy's Blog (Formerly OCSGuy)
- Ken's Unified Communications Blog
- The Lync Insider

Another great resource is the Deploying Lync Jump Start video series with Aaron Steele and Brian Ricks.

Lync is a product that you will find to be amazingly simple to configure if you only want IM, and frustratingly complex if you want to run the full gambit of Unified Communication. I haven't worked with it in quite a while, but the documentation on Technet was severely lacking when i was looking at this last year. The experts (check out cyberguypr's blog links) that share their experiences are going to be your best resource once you have completed an out of the box install of OCS/Lync.
