Tip of the Day: Securing Lync Meetings

Today’s Tip…

By default, Lync uses the same meeting ID for every Lync meeting you create.  This means that if you send a meeting request to customer A and then later send a meeting request to customer B, it is possible that both customer A and B could join each other’s meeting.  While this is fine for some scenarios, it is not very secure.  You can easily improve security by configuring Lync to create a new meeting space for each meeting and limiting the attendance to specific people. 

This change will configure Lync to create unique meeting IDs for every meeting.
