SIP address for group chat in Lync

Question

For opening the chat window with Microsoft Lync, we can call either

Lync SIP:[e-mail]

or

SIP:[e-mail]

However I am looking for single command for open a group chat. It can be by calling Lync with any command line parameter.

Please help.

Found the answer just now and posting here for everyone. We can call Lync like below

Lync im:<sip:user1@host><sip:user2@host><sip:user3@host>

This will open a group chat window for all the three users. Source Lync 2013 Command-Line Parameters. One thing to remember is, do not give your own id in the SIP list as it will not open any chat window.
