Using Lync as a standalone client without integration with Exchange is possible, however there are multiple functions which will not be usable in this case.
- Presence integration with Calendar infomation in OWA/Outlook
- Conversation History
- Voicemail & Missed calls
- Auto-Attendant
- Personalized Profile Pictures
Please Note: We highly recommend using Lync with our Hosted Exchange services, as this provides the full and advertised functionality.
