Lync: “The provided credentials are not authorized by the server”
I was recently testing a Lync deployment prior to cutover, and as part of that process I needed to fail the SBA and the Front-End to ensure the users were all correctly re-directed to a SIP Registrar and that the “Limited Functionality … Outage” message displayed.

Deploying Lync client updates through WSUS? Not yet…
Back in OCS/R2, deploying updates to your clients was a manual process. It usually worked but was not without its challenges (generally permissions-based).
