Live Meeting-To-Lync: Support Strategy

 

This page is part of the Live Meeting-to-Lync Transition Guide (TechNet site).

    • Define your escalation path between help desk tiers as well as Microsoft
    • Include support contact information in your communication plan to end-users
  • Live Meeting ramp-down
