http://bit.ly/MBmd09 Note: This book is an experiment in a new kind of book writing I’m calling “Blog to Book”. I’m making no effort to hide the fact that these articles come directly from my blog http://windowspbx.blogspot.com . There are a couple benefits of this type of book: Quick to market, mistakes can be easily addressed and new revision released. One last and big benefit is the interactivity of this book: You can click on that date/time URL underneath each chapter title and jump to the live blog article and comment/interact! Several challenges are: No editorial process (arrgg!) and we are working with products that are not even released yet! So expect new editions of this book and your welcome to submit mistakes you see via blog comments or twitter to http://twitter.com/matthewlandis To see this book online in blog form: http://windowspbx.blogspot.com/search/label/Lync_2013_StepByStep To get the latest eBook version of this book: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Lync-Server-2012-9d6fe954 Enjoy! 4 Microsoft Lync Server 2013 Step by Step for Anyone Get a free Lync Proposal in 1 Day! http://bit.ly/MBmd09 Matt Landis started Landis Computer Technology Solutions in 1995 and it has been providing IT services to businesses for 17 years and is now a 13 person Microsoft Silver Certified Partner.
