Lync CU 6 has just landed. It takes the server to .199, the client to .4103, and OCPE to .4100. I’ve placed all of the relevant links in my new “Lync Resource Toolkit” page, my new one-stop shop for Lync bits, which I’ll be keeping current. It’s up the top of the grey bar on …
Jeff Schertz is a brilliant resource. Yes, I’m a fan. His recent post on getting the SoundPoint phones working under Lync was invaluable – and the extension dialling one even better! I was actually quite impressed when I managed to get my sample IP650 working. Consultative transfer on a handset under Lync has to …
Hooray! The Reskit’s been updated and ABSconfig.exe now remembers the radio button settings! (I blogged it way back here & originally here). The new version takes the Reskit to 4.0.7577.197, and can be downloaded from here. Note that you’ll need to uninstall the old version – this update won’t just go in over the top …
Long-thought impossible, it turns out that you CAN configure an NET Tenor (nee Quintum) FXS gateway for HOTLINE operation. Here’s how.
There are plenty of articles that outline the migration process for taking a Standard Edition installation of Lync to Enterprise Edition, but what I’ve not seen covered off is a check-list of things to look out for BEFORE you kill the old SE. The obvious things are checking you’ve: swung DNS updated the Edge (hosts …
Here’s one I stumbled across by chance – a March 2012 update to the Lync server. I’m calling it CU5.5, although I’ve not seen anything to suggest it’s been formally bestowed with that title. (Could it be CU6 running early??) It updates several components on the Server (including Mobility) to 4.0.7577.197, and comes with its …

Having been inundated with Lync work since it was released over a year ago, I’ll admit to having not paid a lot of attention to OCS. Once area where OCS continues to play a part in Lync installations is the IM functionality we now enjoy through Exchange 2010 OWA. Those are actually OCS components you’re …
Updated 5th April 2012: The server & client components are obsoleted by CU “5.5”, aka server 4.0.7577.197 / client 4.0.7577.4087. The update for Lync CU5 is here, and there are some nice fixes in this latest batch.
Ståle Hansen has published a great PowerShell script that digs through the Lync CsUnassignedNumber list and mashes it against all of the possible uses of a number (including CsAnalogDevices, CommonAreaPhones, RGS, UMContacts and more) to report what numbers in a given number range are currently spare. It fills a yawning (and frustrating gap) in the …
My Topology here in the Lab started with a Standard Edition FE, and I later added an EE. Accordingly, the XDS is on the SE FE, which would be considered ‘unconventional’ in the outside world, and certainly highly undesirable if you’re aiming for high availability. CU4 went on to the SE without any problems, but …
