Thank you for sharing this information, @Brad Wilson.

It may help to point customers to Workgroup Manager to avoid configuring this on a per user basis:  [ see Client Management in the Mac OS X Server area of the Apple Web site (www.apple.com/server). For detailed information about managing preferences with Workgroup Manager, see the Mac OS X Server User Management documentation available for download on the Apple Web site (www.apple.com/server/documentation). ]

Are there any Preferences aplicable to Skype for Business on iOs?
