Sky is a free client for Lync 2013, Lync 2010, Skype for Business, 365. Voice calls, conference calls, meetings, chat, group chat, persistent chat rooms. More reliable, more stable, more user friendly than standard MS Lync for Mac 2011. Focused on the basic functions most people use at work. From what I read at this link, Lync should be available to the public. However, it says you need Lync Server which comes with 'Office 365'. We already have the business version of Office 2011 for Mac, where do I get lync and why isn't there a download link for Lync? Seriously confusing.

Looking to set configuration preferences in Lync for mac? The office for mac site has a good overview of the settings here Download icloud photos to mac.
From their site:
Certain features and behaviors that are available to Lync Server 2010 clients are determined by preference settings on the client. You can standardize the settings for Lync for Mac in your organization by configuring preferences for the application and then deploying these preferences to users on the network.
The Lync Server 2010 preferences are stored in the /Library/Preferences/MicrosoftLyncRegistrationDB.plist or the User/username/Library/Preferences/ByHost/MicrosoftLyncRegistrationDB-xxxx.plist. The /Library/Preferences/MicrosoftLyncRegistrationDB.plist corresponds to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE keys on a Windows-based computer. This means every user on the computer shares the same set of settings. You need Administrator privileges on the computer to modify the file in this folder.
The User/username//Library/Preferences/ByHost/MicrosoftLyncRegistrationDB-xxxx.plist corresponds to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys on a Windows-based computer. This means that users who are using the same computer can have different Lync settings. The keys documented below are supported in either of these .plist files. However, the /Library/Preferences/MicrosoftLyncRegistrationDB.plist key will override the ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/MicrosoftLyncRegistrationDB-xxxx.plist file, if available.
To add a new preference, in the /Library/Preferences/MicrosoftLyncRegistrationDB.plist file, use the following syntax: hkey_local_machinesoftwarepoliciesmicrosoftlync<preferencename>. Use all lowercase letters for the preference entry. Before you add a new preference in the file, you must create the following default preference entries with the specified values in this .plist file:
Value | |
Backward_Compatible_Version | 1 |
Current_Version | 1 |
hkey_local_machinesoftwarepoliciesmicrosoftlync | <<MacRegNoValue>> |
Note To edit a .plist file, you can use a property list (plist) editor. A plist editor is available as part of the Apple XCode tool set. The default location for the plist editor on the hard disk is /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor. Various third-party plist editors are also available.
