I encountered a problem this week that I thought I’d document, as it offers a different solution to the others on the web. My Lync 2013 Enterprise Edition pool wasn’t well – the understatement of the week. The three FE’s were all spitting Lync Server error 41029 every 20 minutes:

Lync applications/utilities built using either the 2010 or 2013 client-side API software development kit (SDK) are supposed to work against all 3 major releases of the Lync client: 2010, 2013 & 2013 Basic. This means if you upgrade your client from Lync 2010 to the 2013 release, your third party utils (like my Profiles for …
Here’s a blast from the past! I recently encountered a customer in a bind. They’re still on OCS 2007 R2 (don’t ask) and are (were?) using Polycom SoundPoint phones registered to OCS through “SmartSIP”. SmartSIP was a useful little util that let you register generic SIP phones to OCS, but it’s since been EOL’d by …
I encountered an interesting fault this week: calls were being presented to Lync Response Group Agents, but they couldn’t answer them.

Interestingly, it fixes a problem I didn’t even know I had! 4916 PSTN_to_SIP call: Music on Hold not heard when Lync put Call …

Just in case you missed this week’s kb, Lync Server 2010 can now be installed into an Active Directory where the forest and domain are at the Server 2012 functional level. This brings Lync Server 2010 into alignment with Lync Server 2013 plus Exchange 2010 & 2013, all of which are OK on functional levels …
It’s a relatively light update for Lync Server 2010 this quarter, but there are still some interesting fixes in there. This update takes the server up one increment, from 4.0.7577.216 to 217. (The current client update is last week’s hotfix release, taking it to 4.0.7577.4392. That’s HERE).
