Rocky and I bought our first home together back in late 1995. It was a lovely 3-bedroom semi-detached house in one of the inner-western suburbs of Sydney. We found ourselves holding a housewarming for it in January 1996, and for some reason lost to history we settled on a parody / lampooning of the poster …
I’ve spent a lot of time this year working with the <verb>-CsUserData commandlets in SfB, and it’s been an interesting time. This is part 2 in a series where I document the traps I’ve fallen into with the Import-CsUserData and Update-CsUserData commands in particular. Part 1 – Update-CsUserData fails on bad data. Part 2 – …

Inspired by a question from John Cook on Twitter, I’ve taken my “Update-RibbonADCache.ps1” script, and through the magic of “Save As” we now have Get-RibbonSbcUptime.ps1. Get-RibbonSbcUptime.ps1 invokes a REST login to your Sonus/Ribbon SBC 1k/2k/SWe-Lite and reports how long it’s been running: the CpuUptime. It outputs to the pipeline either a timespan object, or a …

I’ve been travelling a lot for work this year, and when I’m away from home I generally leave my home PC on. It was upon returning from a work trip that I found Windows had pushed an update to it, and it had restarted – and from that moment, Outlook was broken. Cannot start Microsoft …
To borrow from the tourist trap t-shirt, “I was hoping for a CU, and and all I got was this lousy HF”. Oh well, any fix is a good fix. This update builds upon July’s CU1, updating only two components on my SE Front-End. It takes the build from 7.0.2046.123 to 7.0.2046.143. What’s Fixed? Kb …
I presented a Teams Deep-Dive session at Microsoft’s office in Canberra this week. At the end there were a few links I wanted to share with the participants, and a few homework questions I wanted to research and respond to. A blog post seemed the obvious way to provide them with that info. The below …

Hot on the heels of last month’s CU10 comes CU10 HF1 – the “whoops” fix-up release. This is build 6.0.9319.562, and it updated three components on my Standard Edition Front-End. What’s Fixed? 4518680 Can’t transfer external calls by using Polycom VVX phones in Skype for Business Server 2015 4518679 Skype meeting disconnection due to missing …
My colleagues and I recently encountered an intermittent problem with the CSCP reporting “Authorization Failed” when you tried to sign in. This was a Skype for Business 2015 Enterprise Edition pool, and so it didn’t take long to localise the issue to just one Front-End server. Each failed attempt dropped an instance of event 35009 …
