Microsoft Lync 2010 Installation: XP, Vista, 7 (32-bit)

Windows XP, Vista, 7 (32-bit)

  • Download the client installer and the latest update and save them to your computer.
  • Run the client installer (LyncSetup.exe) and follow the on-screen prompts, accepting all the default settings.  Repeat with the update installer (update.msp).
  • If the Lync client does not start up automatically, open it from the Start Menu or taskbar (Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Lync -> Microsoft Lync 2010)
  • If your computer is part of the AD domain, and you are on the campus network, no further configuration should be necessary; Lync will sign in automatically when started.
  • If Lync does not sign in automatically, you will be prompted for your sign-in address and password, which are your full UCMAIL email address (username@ucmail.uc.edu) and your Central Login Service password.
  • You may also be prompted for a username; if you are, use the format AD\username.
  • Click Sign In to begin using Lync.

(NOTE:  You will need to be connected to the campus network or the VPN to download this software.)
