I occasionally find myself thrown into a strange Lync or SfB environment – sometimes it’s even a TeamViewer session – and I need to hit the ground running and start discovering what’s going on.
Quicker than running up Topology Builder or wading through the output of Get-CsPool, “Get-CsComputer –Local” will tell you very quickly if the machine you’re on is a Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition.
PS C:\> Get-CsComputer -Local Identity : sfb2015fe.contoso.local Pool : sfb2015fe.contoso.local Fqdn : sfb2015fe.contoso.local PS C:\>
If all three values are the same, you’re on an SE machine – and if it turns out to be an EE server, its pool will be identified for you too!
