Lync 2013 / SfB 2015 Client Update – April 2019

It’s April already – Autumn/Fall here in Oz, or Q2 if you’re more the practical type – and have an update to the Office 2013-based Skype for Business client. Our last update was February, and this one (Kb 4462207) takes us from 15.0.5101.1000 to either 15.0.5125.1000 or 15.0.5127.1000, depending on whether you trust the kb or the Help/About version more.

What’s Fixed

This update fixes the following issues:

  • Kb 4495279 Skype for Business stops responding when receiving a toast notification of an IM or an incoming call in Citrix VDI environment.
  • Kb 4495282 Update the country name from “Macedonia, Former Yugoslav Republic of” to “North Macedonia” for Skype for Business 2015 (Lync 2013).

What’s New / Changed

Nothing documented.

Known Issues

Pre-Req’s

It’s all good if you’ve been diligent in your patching.

If however your patching isn’t to current you’ll need to check you have *all* of these pre-req’s. The Office 2013 SP1 requirement still applies if you’re using Outlook 2010. (Lync 2013 in all of its flavours – e.g. Lync Basic – is still a component of Office 2013).
