Lync Server 2010 SDK Documentation

Documentation updated Thursday, December 1, 2011

Microsoft Lync Server 2010 SDK download includes the SDK documentation, SDK library (ServerAgent.DLL), application development tools, and Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Application API sample applications.

Lync Server 2010 SDK documentation is a technical reference for the Lync Server 2010 Application API that is used to create Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server applications that customize and extend the functionality of Lync Server 2010. It is intended for the following audiences:

• Developers who want to use Application Manifests and Microsoft SIP Processing Language (MSPL) scripts to implement simple custom SIP message filtering and routing on computers in a Lync Server 2010 deployment.

• Experienced SIP developers who want to create SIP-based managed code server applications that implement real-time content delivery or instant messaging infrastructure, including applications that work directly with SIP transaction objects or support multithreaded transactions.

Caution
The WMI-based Lync Server Management API is deprecated in the Lync Server 2010 release. The functionality is now supported by the Lync Server 2010 PowerShell Commandlets.
