Our January release took the SfB 2015 Server to 6.0.9319.537, and now we have a March update taking Core Components and UCWA to 6.0.9319.544. (I thank Luis Ramos for bringing this to my attention. Check out his very detailed post on the subject.) What’s Fixed? It looks to be too soon to tell for this …
This week saw the release of an update for SfB Server 2015, taking the server up from 6.0.9319.534 to 6.0.9319.537 and updating 8 components on my Standard Edition Front-End. My fellow MVP Luca has commented on the size of this one, which is indeed a lot larger than its predecessors: Latest #Skype4B CU 2019-01 has …
The larger and more complex your on-prem SfB installation is, the greater the likelihood of encountering firewall problems. If you run this script on your Front-End server(s) it will: query the topology to find all of the Edge servers. (Add the “-site” switch to only retrieve those in a given topology site) initiate a TCP …
Our August 2018 update – officially CU7 – nudges the server up from 6.0.9319.516 to 6.0.9319.534 and updates 9 components on my Standard Edition Front-End. As you can see from the below, it’s a doozie, but doesn’t come without downsides. Read on… What’s Fixed?
Our May client update took us to 15.0.5031.1000, and now Kb4022170 increments us to 15.0.5041.1000 – but there’s a trick to this one: see “Before/After”.

Our March 2018 update nudges the server up from 6.0.9319.510 to 6.0.9319.516 and updates 7 components on my Standard Edition Front-End. It doesn’t seem to be officially called CU7, but so far Martin and I are going with that. I’ll update the post if I’m advised to the contrary. CU6 HF2 it is, thanks Tim! …
