Lync Trunk Configuration also applies to analog devices

This one took me a little by surprise recently. I was working with a HP SBA/SBM for Lync, equipped with FXS and FXO ports. I’d setup the Trunk Configuration for outgoing FXO calls to strip the Country Code and insert a 0 (as is pretty standard in Oz), and once that was working OK I …

I have a particular dislike of blog sites blatantly re-posting others’ content as their own. I’m happy to re-post, with all the credit going to the original poster. Thanks to mickjf for this post on the auTechHeads site, which I recently stumbled across whilst cursing some strange behaviour of Exchange 2010 UM. This commandlet will …
