Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a computer that is running Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, or Windows Server 2012 R2.
-
You use Microsoft Lync 2013 to share your desktop or applications with another Lync 2013 user.
-
Another Lync user uses Lync 2013 on a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client that has the thin client mode enabled.
In this scenario, the Lync 2013 sharing performance is slow: content update on the sharing window takes 10 to 15 seconds.
Note This issue occurs on the following versions of Lync:
-
Lync 2013 for desktop
-
Lync application for Windows
Cause
This issue occurs because of a mismatched behavior between the RDP client and the Lync 2013 client.
