You can actually think of the VPN as another network layer on top of your internet connection.<br /><br />This resilency feature is designed to overcome minor network connectivity issues, not a major failure back to Corpnet which is what a complete disconnection of VPN is.<br /><br />With the security features built into Lync having IT Security pin point what is stopping you from using Lync Edge services would be a good start. Two factor Authentication is a common reason for not using Lync Edge. Feed this information back to Microsoft for possible future releases. More and more companies are taking advantage of service that no longer require VPN to access Corpnet services.<br /><br />Just an idea.Chris Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200178774058910421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158853543793456735.post-7451698619073588472010-09-18T20:25:30.253-07:002010-09-18T20:25:30.253-07:00well, with all due respect, the answer of 'jus...well, with all due respect, the answer of 'just don't use VPN' isn't going to win over to many IT security folk now is it? :) <br /><br />in a perfect world the internets would be safe from naughty people... :)<br /><br />but that's not Lync's problem, was just curious if you had a chance to test it. thank you for the reply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158853543793456735.post-52920940255384971692010-09-18T00:21:05.410-07:002010-09-18T00:21:05.410-07:00So ideally this feature is designed to work withou...So ideally this feature is designed to work without a VPN connection because when you add VPN you add a layer on top of another layer and you complicate things. There are also timeout values you have to place on the RTP session which I would think if you can restore your VPN session in time it can continue to function but in reality this is highly unlikely.<br /><br />In a perfect world you would have the Lync traffic not pass over your VPN and utilise Lync edge services. This example was actually over edge while I was working at home.<br /><br />I am not totally up to speed on changes in VPN technology but I would like to think that minor interuptions in network service should be recoverable from with user interjection. So really this comes down to the capabilities of the underlying VPN's capability to recover from network interuptions and not complete outages.<br /><br />In the end your biggest limitation will be the limitation of the VPN. If you can remove the VPN you not only enable more scenarios with Lync but remove a potential bottle neck and failure point.Chris Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200178774058910421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158853543793456735.post-54050640853172502462010-09-17T20:59:11.751-07:002010-09-17T20:59:11.751-07:00This is interesting and certainly a cool feature. ...This is interesting and certainly a cool feature. Not trying to rain on they Lync parade, just want to know... how does this all work if the platform is using a VPN client connection and the underlying network connectivity fails? Typically this means a lost VPN connection and just having another network connection doesn't restore the VPN connection at a client level. So just curious if you can test or talk to the same scenario with a client VPN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
