While support Microsoft Lync Meeting Client software, I noticed that the client installer is a per user based install and thus wouldn’t be available for all users on a system. Users need to have this software installed for each of their logins.
Usually, “Microsoft Lync Web App Launcher” pages gets to redirect to an unusually lengthy URLs during runtime via JavaScript execution.
In a locked down environment where users are behind a proxy server, you’ll need to primarily ensure below three options
- URL Redirection supported?
- Is JavaScript enabled for the chosen browser?
- Is lengthy URL supported by your proxy server?
To workaround the lengthy URL, you can probably do a complete domain white listing for the domain to which page is redirecting to.

p>The other alternate to Web App Launcher is to have Microsoft Lync Meeting Client Software installed locally on the system. However, there are two variants of app available for Lync 2010 version called Lync 2010 Attendee (user level install) and not Lync 2010 Attendee (admin level install). One needs to choose the admin level install. Refer to How do I know whether I have Lync 2010 Attendee (user level install) and not Lync 2010 Attendee (admin level install)?
