[SOLVED] Lync Administration - how to set everyones presence viewable by all as default

Lync Administration - how to set everyones presence viewable by all as default

I am using Office 365 and Microsoft Lync 2013

The menu item I am interested in setting as default upon new installation is:

Go to <gear icon> --> Tools --> Options --> Status

There are two radio buttons concerning presence on this screen. They are:

I want everyone to be able to see my presence
I want only people in contacts to be able to see my presence

Currently, when a new user installs office 365 and downloads lync, the default option they have set is number 2. What I want is:

I want all new users to default to option 1.
I want to apply option 1 to all existing users retrospectively.

Any ideas?

Solution

Unfortunately, this is not supported by office 365. This setting is controlled from the user client can cannot be set globally. Details in the post below:
