Our March 2018 update nudges the server up from 6.0.9319.510 to 6.0.9319.516 and updates 7 components on my Standard Edition Front-End. It doesn’t seem to be officially called CU7, but so far Martin and I are going with that. I’ll update the post if I’m advised to the contrary. CU6 HF2 it is, thanks Tim!

What’s Fixed?

According to the kb, “This update enables Location-Based Routing to support the Skype for Business mobile clients”, but the last one said that too.

It also fixes the following issues:

• Kb4036626 Missing ApplicationOptions attribute in user object created by New-CsHybridApplicationEndpoint cmdlet in Skype for Business Server 2015
• Kb4078589 High memory usage on RtcHost.exe when you deploy Shared Line Appearance in Skype for Business Server 2015
• Kb4078588 Can’t sign in Skype for Business mobile apps after applying Skype for Business Server 2015 CU6
• Kb4078590 Calls to Mac fail when enhanced presence privacy mode is enabled in Skype for Business Server 2015
• Kb4078592 Push Notification not working for Skype for Business for iOS in Skype for Business Server 201
• Kb4078587 Voice settings are intermittently reset in Skype for Business on iOS and Android

What’s New?

We have a pre-req! (OK, to be true this one was introduced with CU6 in December, but I thought I’d mention it here again in case you skipped that one).

“To apply this update, you must have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 (Offline Installer or Web Installer) installed.”

Download

• Download the installer from here
• Here’s the kb article and the install procedure

Installation

Here’s the “before” view of it going on to my Lab’s Standard Edition Front-End:

A Bug?

This popped at the end of the installation:

An unhandled Microsoft .NET Framework exception occurred in w3wp.exe [2292].

This prompted me to install it on 2 more SE FE’s, an Edge and my Applications server, but the error failed to recur. Was that a fluke, or perhaps just something triggered by my woefully underpowered FE? I guess time will tell. Please add comments if you encounter this, and I’ll update the post if I see it in the real world.

Reboot?

The installer didn’t prompt me to reboot, but I always like to give it one for good measure!
