Client and server support for Location-Based Routing in Lync Server 2013
Topic Last Modified: 2013-06-18
Location-Based Routing is enforced by Lync Server. Lync Server can identify the network sites where users are connecting from within the corporate network. Since remote users are outside the corporate network, their location is considered to be unknown.
Lync Server Support
Location-Based Routing requires that Lync Server 2013 CU1 is deployed on all Front End pools and Standard Edition servers in a given topology. If Lync Server 2013 CU1 is not installed on certain Lync components in the topology, Location-Based Routing restrictions cannot be fully enforced.
The following table identifies the combination of server roles and versions that is supported for Location-Based Routing.
