Our May client update took us to 15.0.5031.1000, and now Kb4022170 increments us to 15.0.5041.1000 – but there’s a trick to this one: see “Before/After”.
What’s Fixed
We have just one update this month, but it’s a doozie and surely a Godsend for some of you:
- Kb4294971 Skype for Business 2016 or Skype for Business 2015 (Lync 2013) crashes in a Citrix-based VDI environment
What’s New / Changed
Nothing documented.
Known Issues
Nothing documented.
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).

This is the client fix itself:
Reboot
I have all the pre-req’s already installed, had exited the client before we started & was not prompted for a reboot.
Before / After
Here’s the ”trick” that I mentioned in the opener: the Help/About doesn’t report the version as you might be expecting.

From the user’s PC you’ll be led up the garden path if you check the properties of Lync.exe:
Get-CsConnections sees things differently though:

The kb article reveals if you search for “5041” that only two DLLs scored an update. Here’s the properties of one confirming the new version:
