Lync 2013 / SfB 2015 Client Update – July 2018

Having recently hopped to the identity-challenged 15.0.5041.1000, this month we jump to the more self-assured 15.0.5049.1000 courtesy of Kb4022225.

What’s Fixed

  • Kb 4340831 Unread messages of a reopened chat room are indicated incorrectly when restarting Skype for Business 2015 (Lync 2013)
  • Kb 4340830 Rate My Call privacy statement incorrectly redirects to Lync 2010 privacy statement

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).
