Can not share my desktop with others.  Can not share files.  Seems like Lync is still the best option for Mac.

Agreed. These are two key features that seem to be gone. At least for single person conversations.

    So I wiped all traces of Lync (and skype for business) out of my system. Still no luck. Same UI as before.

      Hi Ben.  In SFB Mac Preferences/General, do you see the option of "Show conversations in separate windows"?  If the option is disabled or not there, you should check if there is a SFB client policy "IMArchivingEnabled" deployed.  If the policy needs to be set to True in order to see the Single UI window.

        Hello!

         

        I don't have those settings available. When I get to work tomorrow I'll see about the policy for IMArchiving... I don't know if that's a policy that I can change on my own personal machine or not if my company has the IM Archiving disabled...
