  1. Pretty amazing that you could found an answer in this ...
    In our company, my other technicians are deploying Windows servers without "admin shares" and i was searching like 3 hours to find a solution ...
    I removed this :
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\ AutoShareServer
    Then :
    net stop LanManServer
    net start LanManServer

    And then i relaunched Lync installation and it passed !
    Well done.
