In Lync Server 2013 Control Panel, you use conferencing policies to control how conferencing is implemented in your deployment. This includes the following conferencing policies:

To view conferencing policy settings

  1. From a user account that is assigned to the CsUserAdministrator role or the CsAdministrator role, log on to any computer in your internal deployment.

  2. Open a browser window, and then enter the Admin URL to open the Lync Server Control Panel. For details about the different methods you can use to start Lync Server Control Panel, see Open Lync Server Administrative Tools.

  3. In the left navigation bar, click Conferencing and then click Conferencing Policy.

  4. On the Conferencing Policy page, double-click the conferencing policy that you would like to view.

  5. In Edit File Filter, select the Show Details… check box.

    Edit Conferencing Policy - <policy> opens displaying the settings for the selected policy. For details about configuring the settings, see Create or Modify a Conferencing Policy.

Viewing Conferencing Policies by Using Windows PowerShell Cmdlets

Conferencing policies can be viewed by using Windows PowerShell and the Get-CsConferencingPolicy cmdlet. This cmdlet can be run either from the Lync Server 2013 Management Shell or from a remote session of Windows PowerShell. For details about using remote Windows PowerShell to connect to Lync Server, see the Lync Server Windows PowerShell blog article "Quick Start: Managing Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Using Remote PowerShell" at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkId=255876.
