Hi all.
I have been very interested in testing Lync 2010 at our company ,so this weekend I went through many videos and installed a test lab consisting of a domain controller and a Lync server installed on 2008R2.
This is just a test and only contains a front end server. I know that in a proper environment an Edge server should be delpoyed and I will do that in time.
I am new to Lync and now that everything is working great on the internal network I wanted to get the client to be able to connect from the outside.
I would like to understand the External DNS records that I need to create for the clients to connect when they are at home for example.
I have opened ports 5061 443 and 444 on the firewall pointing to my front end server.
Are these the correct ports that I have open ?
If I take the laptop which worked fine in my internal environment and connect via a 3G card it doesnt connect unless I fill in the external DNS name manually on the link client.
Also instant messaging is working and the initiation of calls, but no audio can be heard from the client to the other Lync client when connecting externally.
Do I need to deploy an edge server or can a front end Lync server also accept external requests ?
I would really appreciate some advice in helping to solve this.
Much appreciated.
Shaun
