Policies

Conferencing policy: The conferencing policy specifies the conferencing experience for participants.
Client version policy: The client version policy checks the SIP User Agent header to determine the client version.
PIN policy: The PIN policy provides a personal identification number (PIN) authentication to users who are connecting to Microsoft Lync 2010 with IP phones.
External access policy: The external access policy determines whether or not your users can 1) communicate with users who have SIP accounts with a federated organization; 2) communicate with users who have SIP accounts with a public instant messaging and; 3) access Microsoft Lync Server 2010 over the internet, without having to log on to your internal network.
Archiving policy: The archiving policy controls whether archiving for specific users is enabled or disabled for internal and external communications.
Location policy: The location policy automatically locates clients within a network. The Lync Server uses a Location Policy to enable Lync 2010 clients for E9-1-1 during client registration. A location Policy contains the settings that define how E9-1-1 will be implemented. You can edit the global location policy and create new tagged location policies. A client obtains a global policy when not locations within a subnet with an associated location policy or when the client has not been directly assigned a location policy.
Client policy: The client policy determines the features of Microsoft Lync 2010 which are made available to users.
