Hello,
Has anyone deployed an internal installation of Microsoft Lync using a Public CA certificates?
At the moment, we do not have an internal CA to request certificates from and I wondered if there were any issues with using Public CAs for Lync?
I guess you will have to manually update the certificates when they expire, but is there anything else I need to be aware of?

The Lync implementation at my organization uses 100% public certificates for the same reason - lost of non-domain PCs. |

I would look to deploy a new AD Root CA if there were a lot of other services which require certificates, but I'm getting to the tipping point where managing the additional servers etc. actually cost more than buying certs from a public CA!
I think I'll go the public CA way. Thanks for the quick reply. |

I did this recently for a customer with many non-domain members in the internal network. It made no sense to use the AD Enterprise Root CA because this meant we had to distribute the CA cert to the clients. |

No that should be absolutely fine. The only reason it is not done sometimes is due to cost. Cheers
