Here’s a “one-liner” I came up with this week that dumps ALL of the SfB policies in your system ordered by type: PS C:\> Get-Command -Module SkypeForBusiness Get-Cs*Policy | where-object {$_.Name -ne “Get-CsEffectivePolicy”} | ForEach { invoke-expression $_.name } | ft @{Label=”Policy type”; Expression={($_.getType()).ToString().Split(‘.’)[-1]}}, identity -auto This is what it looks like here in the …
Preparation Installation Operation Tips, tricks and traps Debugging There’s an old joke that goes “Q: Why do people take an instant dislike to <InsertNameOfUnpopularPolitician>?” “A: It saves time”. And so it is with SEFAUtil. Without doubt SEFAUtil is an indispensable utility. “Secondary Extension Feature Activation Utility” – to give it its full name – ships …
I occasionally find myself thrown into a strange Lync or SfB environment – sometimes it’s even a TeamViewer session – and I need to hit the ground running and start discovering what’s going on.

My current work project is to add an Australia-wide Lync deployment into a much larger global installation. As part of this I’ve found it’s sometimes a challenge to monitor just those bits that I’m responsible for. The Command “get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus” – or “get-CsMana<tab><tab>” as I prefer to call it – outputs too much “noise”, scrolling many …
The new year’s off to a great start with a flurry of update packages. Last week I blogged the Lync 2013 & Sonus Tenor updates, and here’s what’s in the January update for the Lync 2010 Client and Server. What’s Fixed?
