Lync 2010 CU4, Mobility, Reskit & more

I’m big on consistency, so who am I to break with tradition? Every OTHER blog on the internet has re-posted the links to CU4, so why should mine be any different?

Lync Mobility

You’ll also want to download the Mobility Service and the Mobility Guide.

Don’t forget the Database Update!

As with CU3, there’s an accompanying update to the database that’s all too easily missed.

This is an extract from the Mobility Guide:

4. Stop Lync Server services. At the command line, type: Stop-CsWindowsService

5. Close all Lync Server Management Shell windows.

6. Stop the World Wide Web service. At the command line, type: net stop w3svc

7. Install the cumulative update for Lync Server 2010: November 2011 by running LyncServerUpdateInstaller.exe.

11. Start the Lync Server Management Shell: Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Lync Server 2010, and then click Lync Server Management Shell.

12. Apply the changes made by LyncServerUpdateInstaller.exe to the SQL Server databases by doing one of the following:

  • If Enterprise Edition Back End Server databases are not collocated with any other databases, such as Archiving or Monitoring databases, at the command line, type the following:

Install-CsDatabase –Update –ConfiguredDatabases –SqlServerFqdn <SQL Server FQDN>

  • If Enterprise Edition Back End Server databases are collocated with other databases, such as Archiving or Monitoring databases, at the command line, type the following:

Install-CsDatabase –Update –ConfiguredDatabases –SqlServerFqdn <SQL Server FQDN> -ExcludeCollocatedStores

  • For Standard Edition, type the following:

Install-CsDatabase –Update -LocalDatabases

13. Restart the Lync Server services. At the command line, type: Start-CsWindowsService

ServerUpdateInstaller

Here’s what the server update looked like on my Lab. It’s showing the “before” and “after” releases. Note that I snuck a Hotfix onto the Core post-CU3, as per this post from October, which is why the the very top line is at .172 and not .166.
