It updated 7 components on my Standard Edition Front-End server. What’s Fixed? This cumulative update includes a …
Occasionally someone will be brave enough to ask why I give my sexuality top billing in my Twitter profile and bios: It probably seems a little out of place given that if you search the word “gay” on my blog you’ll find the only hit – singular – is on my “about” page (until …
I don’t know about you, but I’m not getting any younger, and my eyes often glaze over when faced with a table of numbers to compare for differences. This is often the case when I issue one of my fave p$ shortcuts to test my SfB server’s databases: Test-csDatabase -LocalService | ft *name,*edver* Do this …
One of the significant enhancements delivered in today’s Skype for Business Server 2019 CU1 is the new “Modern Administration Control Panel” or MACP.

Added to Skype for Business Server 2019 from CU1 is “SEFAUtil” functionality in native PowerShell. No longer do you need to install a clunky “Trusted Application”. SEFA-WhatNow? Such innocence. You don’t know the world of pain you’ve missed! “Secondary Extension Feature Activation Utility” – to give it its full name – has historically shipped in …
Last month we saw an interim hotfix that took SfB 2019 Server from its initial “dot-zero” release to 7.0.2046.116, and this July update (officially CU1) is the one we’ve all been holding out for, updating *everything* on my SE Front-End as well as adding some long-awaited functionality. The new build number is 7.0.2046.123. What’s Fixed? …

I’ve been building electronic kits since I was a kid, and even designed a couple that made publication. A very relevant example of the latter is my Telephone Intercom. It’s been a long time between drinks though – and I’ve been lamenting that since 2011 apparently, if you read the aforementioned post. Ahh, fate… Wind …
Not to be confused with the somewhat overdue arrival of a CU1, this release – the first for SfBS2019 – is but a hotfix. This took only one component on my Standard Edition Front End from 7.0.2046.0 to 7.0.2046.116. What’s Fixed? This update enables Location-Based Routing to support Skype for Business mobile clients.
