#       presence and telephone provider                                          #
#   1.1 Added NetBIOS domain variable for Lion support                           #
#       Removed support for local dscl lookups                                   #
#   1.0 Created LyncSetup-1.0.sh script                                          #
#                                                                                #
#   Instructions                                                                 #
#   Locate the NETBIOSDOMAIN line below and enter your company's NetBIOS domain  #
#   name. Save the script as "LyncSetup-1.1.sh" into each computer's             #
#   /Library/talkingmoose/Scripts folder or any location of your choosing.       #
#   Modify the net.talkingmoose.LyncSetup.plist launchd item to point to this    #
#   script and place it into /Library/LaunchAgents.                              #
#                                                                                #
#   The launchd agent will launch the script at every user login. If it finds    #
#   ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Lync.plist then the script will exit.    #
#   Otherwise, it will do the following:                                         #
#        1. Determine the current Mac OS version                                 #
#        2. Get user's current login name                                        #
#        3. Read Active Directory for the user's email address                   #
#        4. Populate the user's ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Lync.plist   #
#           file with the Lync logon information.                                #
#        5. Set the preference to not show the license agreement.                #
#        6. Write details of the setup to ~/Library/Logs/LyncSetup.log.          #
#                                                                                #
#                                                                                #
