NET UX2000 SIP Override Tables
Updated 12th December 2011. (Scroll to the bottom) We’ve found here in Oz with the UX that occasionally a random failure code from the carrier is enough to block the entire gateway. The NET faithfully interprets the applicable standards, mapping the ISDN failure messages to their SIP equivalents, then sends the resulting message to Lync. …
Lync User Guides
Microsoft’s provided great, customisable training material for Lync. Download the Lync training intranet site and publish on your webserver, applying your own CSS to give them a look and feel consistent with the rest of your organisation.

Lync PowerShell query syntax
This is one of those posts selfishly for my own use. Until I start to dream in Lync PowerShell commandlets I’ll be referring back to this one to get the syntax right. Today I need to see how many users were homed to a particular Front-End server, and here’s the commandlet I used. It demonstrates …

Which Front-End server is my Lync account registered to?
If you have multiple Front-End servers, your account will be randomly homed to one of them, and it’s not revealed if you just get-csuser. You need to Get-CsUserPoolInfo <username>. This won’t spell it out for you, but you should be able to figure out which FE is which. Alternatively, Get-CsUserPoolInfo <username> | Select-Object -Expand PrimaryPoolMachinesInPreferredOrder …
