To log on with manual configuration

2. In the Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Group Chat Login dialog box, in the Account list, click Edit Accounts.

   Note:
   If the Edit Accounts dialog box is read-only, the system administrator has configured another account by using Group Policy objects, making that the only account available.

3. In the Edit Accounts dialog box, click Add.

4. In Display Name, type a name for the new account. This name is used on the Accounts menu of the Group Chat Login dialog box the next time that you sign in to Lync 2010 Group Chat.

6. Type the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 host name, by doing one of the following:

   • If you are installing Group Chat in a Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Group Chat environment that is running Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Enterprise Edition, type the pool name.
     
     
   • If you are installing Group Chat in a Lync Server 2010, Group Chat environment that is running Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Standard Edition, enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Standard Edition server.
     
     

   Port resets to the correct value.

7. In Chat Room Domain, type the domain portion of the Lookup Server's SIP Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

8. If using the default SIP URI (chat@<domainName>.com), select the Use Default Server Address check box. Otherwise, type the SIP URI of the Lookup Server (specified during server installation).

9. When all the settings are as you want them, click OK.

The name of the newly-created configuration is added to the Accounts box.
