Lync’s Roles-Based Access Control (RBAC) is great fun. It lets you fairly precisely define the rights of a user: you can easily grant or restrict access to specific commandlets, or apply scoping so that a commandlet can be run, but only against a subset of objects (like say a specific site). I’m quite used to …

I recently rebuilt my PC and was annoyed by Skype for Business popping all of the newbie nag messages that I’d previously suppressed. “There has to be a way to suppress these en-masse” I say to myself. Whilst trawling through the Registry to find them it also occurred to me that when I’m delivering end-user …
Hot on the heels of the oft-confusing March Client update (with its seemingly inconsistent version numbering), here’s a juicy April offering with lots of identified fixes.
