Just in case you missed this one, Microsoft released documentation and an ADM template for the Microsoft Lync 2010 client. The following settings can be configured.
- Specify transport and server
- Enable strict DNS naming for server name
- Configure SIP security mode
- Configure SIP compression mode
- Prevent users from running Microsoft Lync
- Allow storage of user passwords
- Require logon credentials
- Disable HTTP fallback for SIP connection
- Disable server version check
- Additional server versions supported
- Enable using BITS to download Address Book Service files
- Help Menu
- Launch Microsoft Lync First Run
- Turn on tracing for Lync

Oh and yes, just in case someone from Microsoft reads this post, what about providing the templates in the latest and greatest ADMX / ADML format instead of just the ADM format?
