Lync 2013 / SfB 2015 Client Update – January 2018

Happy new year! It’s barely January and we have a fresh update to the client – albeit a relatively small one, but with what looks like a doozie of a fix. Our December update took us to 15.0.4989.1000 and today Kb 4011638 nudges us up a few builds to 15.0.4997.1000.

What’s Fixed

This update fixes the following issues:

  • Kb 4057706 FIX: Skype meetings not found when joining meetings

What’s New / Changed

Nothing documented.

Known Issues

Nothing documented.

Pre-Req’s

We saw a couple of pre-req updates last year, but if you’re current 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).
