Lync 2010 “Appear Offline” Status

Lync 2010 users may wish to set the “Appear Offline” status, which unlike OCS 2007, is not enabled out of the box.

Open Lync Server Management Shell and run:

Get-CSClientPolicy | Set-CSClientPolicy -EnableAppearOffline:$true

On the next login the change will be visible in the client.
