Join Teams work meetings from Microsoft Teams (free) and vice versa

Microsoft Teams (Free) users can currently join Teams for work (or school) meetings only as guests, which requires them to use a browser and results in a sub-optimal experience. The new feature rolling out will allow these users to join Teams for work (or school) meetings in one click, without being redirected to the browser or asked to fill in their name/surname. They will also be able to continue collaborating with the meeting organizer and other participants via meeting chat after the meeting.  The feature will work in the opposite way as well, so Teams for work (or school) will just as easily be able to join meetings hosted by a Teams Free user with one click.

An update to the Lync SE Backup script

I just wanted to let my readers know I have updated the backup script previously added in a post earlier this summer.
After doing some research, I have now been able to enumerate the local Lync file share path, hosted on the server. So now, the Script should be able to run without any modifications or input.

The solution was quite "simple", once I figured out where and how:


Not the prettiest piece of code, but it worked. I've also been working on a similar script for Lync 2013 (preview), for those of you who would be interested in that.

The script can be downloaded here: Backupscript - Standard EDT.ps1
All my scripts can be found in the "Lync Scripts" section at the top

As always, I appreciate your feedback, suggestions or questions.
