What’s Fixed

A handful of items are addressed in this update:

  • Kb 4035431 “Call forwarding settings failed” dialog occurs after you sign out Skype for Business 2015 (Lync 2013) if RCC is enabled
  • Kb 4035430 Switch between “Compact View” and “Content View” does not work in Skype for Business 2015 (Lync 2013)

    Pre-Req’s

    It’s been a big year for pre-req updates, but if you’re current (to 15.0.4933.1000 or 15.0.4945.1000) then you’re OK today.

    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).
