Lync 2010 CU7 is here! It takes the server to .205, the client to .4356, and OCPE to .<TBA>. Of interest to me in this update: 2739693 “Presence unknown” status is displayed for a user’s contacts after you install update 2571543 [CU3 – or later!] in Lync 2010 (This one’s just made my month!!)
This post is obsolete. ‘Profiles’ has been replaced by bounSky! This post is obsolete. The latest Profiles post (1 Jan 2015) is here: https://greiginsydney.com/p4l-sticky/. It’s been a while coming, but I’ve finally updated my Profiles For Lync app. We now need two builds because the DLLs between the 2010 and 2013 Preview …

This one’s been kicking about for a while, but I thought I’d document it here. If for whatever reason you don’t want a Lync meeting to launch in the client, just append “?sl=1” to the end of the invitation URL: https://meet.contoso.com.au/greiginsydney/ABC123?sl=1 The meeting will launch a page (the image below) that gives you the option …

Following my recent post about the SoundPoint phones, I thought I’d dig some more and refine them. Customising the Tones First off, let’s make them sound Aussie. With a bit of digging, I was able to customise the dial, busy and ringback tones and cadences. In the process of testing this config I found …

“Elyza”, sister to “Profiles for Lync”, is a client-side app I’ve built using the Lync SDK. Elyza started life as a means for me to test Federation when I deploy a new Lync, and also as an auto-responder to help me present demos and deliver user-training without needing to annoy some poor colleague back in …
I was recently presented with the challenge of how to manage a customer’s client upgrades from OCS to Lync. Users on the company’s domain are OK and catered for with SCCM to push the necessary upgrade, but there are apparently some remote users on workgroup machines that are immune to policy and other sneaky management …

Superceded 12th Nov2012 by the Mk-II. A not uncommon user-misconfiguration for a Lync user is to find their account possessing a LineURI (their “msRTCSIP-Line”) telephone number, but for them to not be enabled for Enterprise Voice. This more commonly occurs in the early stages of a deployment (ahead of cutover), or as the on-site admins …

I see NET’s just released a firmware update for the Tenor series of UC Gateways. It takes it up from “AS_AF_AX_BX-DXi-P108-09-18” to “AS_AF_AX_BX-DXi-P108-09-21”. No idea what’s in it, and I’m not allowed to post it here (sorry) – but if you’re a Tenor devotee like me, you’ve already abandoned this post and are downloading it …

Lync CU 6 has just landed. It takes the server to .199, the client to .4103, and OCPE to .4100. I’ve placed all of the relevant links in my new “Lync Resource Toolkit” page, my new one-stop shop for Lync bits, which I’ll be keeping current. It’s up the top of the grey bar on …
You might have seen my earlier post on the file formats you need for audio files for Lync and Exchange. From firmware release 2.1.x, the UX family of PSTN Gateways now support the direct provision of Music On Hold (MOH). “The Music On Hold feature allows you to play music or other audio while a …
