Problème: Lync 2010 for Android does not start when you join a meeting in a Lync Server 2010-based environment

Description:

When you tap on the "Join Lync Meeting" link from a meeting invitation on a mobile device, Microsoft Lync 2010 for Android does not start. Instead, a web browser is started, and it informs you that Lync is probably not installed on the device. This issue occurs because a newer version of the Chrome browser on the device changes the available methods of opening URIs.

Suite à l'annonce du retrait des certifications Lync 2013 pour fin juillet qui est sujet à polémique, microsoft vient de communiquer (un peu) sur le futur des certifications.

Lien: https://borntolearn.mslearn.net/b/weblog/archive/2015/05/15/why-are-the-microsoft-lync-2013-exams-retiring

Informations:

The new Skype for Business exams will count toward MCSE: Communication certification like the Lync 2013 exams currently do.

FAQ

Q: Should I hold off on taking exams until the Skype for Business exams are available?
A: Not at all. Skype for Business builds on Lync’s features and functionality. The Lync exams provide you with a solid foundation for your Skype for Business implementation. See what’s new in Skype for Business.

Q: Will there be an upgrade exam for those who have completed both Lync exams and want to move to Skype for Business?
A: No. Once you’ve earned your MCSE: Communication certification you cannot re-earn it. You can, however, keep it current through recertification. If you’re not ready to recertify but want to gain some Skype for Business skills, check out this training video.  

Q: What about recertification?
A: Holders of the MCSE: Communication credential must recertify every three years. Recertification is a great way to ensure that you stay current in the latest technology, such as Skype for Business. We’ll be providing more information about recertification options for MCSE: Communication this summer.

Q: I’m a partner with the Microsoft Partner Network. I have the Communications Competency and just took the Lync exams to qualify. Do I still qualify?
A: Retirement of an exam from Microsoft learning does not retire it as a qualifying exam for a Competency. Lync Exams for the Communications Competency will still qualify for a period of time. Always check the Microsoft Partner Network competency requirements. You can view the current Communications Competency requirements here; https://mspartner.microsoft.com/en/us/pages/membership/communications-competency

Durant cette Ignite, on a pu découvrir une fonctionnalité tres intéressante sur le stand de Jabra: Jabra Intelligent Call Transfer

Description:

In use with Skype for Business, Jabra Evolve can support call transfer from a Skype for Business desktop-based softphone call to a smartphone.  To transfer a call using the Evolve 40 and 80, simply un-plug the 3.5mm stereo jack stick from its control unit and the call will transfer to the user’s mobile phone.  Users can then insert the 3.5mm jack into the smartphone to continue the conversation or even continue the conversation using a Jabra Bluetooth™ headset.

The Jabra Intelligent Call Transfer will be available for Jabra Evolve 40 and 80 models exclusively in combination with the Skype for Business client and the latest Jabra Evolve firmware. Existing Jabra EVOLVE™ 40 and 80 models only require the new firmware upgrade and the latest Jabra Direct software to enable this feature, which will be released later this Fall 2015.

Microsoft a publié une mise a jour pour LRS:

About the SCEP feature in April 2015 update for Lync Room System:

This new feature supplements the existing Lync Room System (LRS) security design consisting of Windows Embedded firewall protection, AppLocker, and write filters. System administrators can easily enable Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) on LRS by using an on/off toggle switch. The SCEP feature in LRS can run stand-alone, and does not require back-end server integration. Finally, LRS deployments in private network environments that have no direct Internet connection require some additional planning and preparation to enable SCEP malware signature updates through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). Update from signatures that are stored in UNC file shares is not supported for the April 2015 LRS update. 

Microsoft vient de rendre disponible aux téléchargements le Microsoft Lync Room System Administrative Web Portal for Skype for Business Server 2015.

Description:

Microsoft Lync Room System (LRS) edition is a new Microsoft Lync unified communications client that has been optimized for Lync meetings in physical conference rooms. Install this web component on Skype for Business Server 2015 Front End servers in the pool where the Lync Room System accounts reside.

Une mise a jour d'outil sympathique est disponible sur les gallery technet: Skype for Business and Lync 2013 DDC - Detailed Design Calculator

Description:

DDC is a simple offline, Excel-based, low-level design calculator for Microsoft Skype for Business and Lync 2013 on-premises deployments. Fill in host names, IP addresses etc., and DDC will calculate DNS records, certificate names, firewall rules, deployment scripts and several other design elements to help speed-up your deployment.

DDC is a continuously evolving project and you should expect frequent updates with new features added over time. It is and will always be free.

Features

New in version 5.0.0:

New in version 5.0.0:

• Support for multiple SIP domains (up to 8), each with several configurable options (strict domain matching, SIP/XMPP federation, etc.)
• DNS tables reorganised for multiple domain support (records are sorted by domain).
• Added the ability to include/exclude external servers (Edge pool, Reverse Proxy) from the deployment
• Added the ability to choose AD or main SIP domain name for Pools and Web Services names (earlier DDC versions used primary SIP domain name by default and did not allow to change)
• Option to deploy 1 or 2 network cards on dedicated Mediation servers (separated internal and PSTN IP addresses). We have not included such option for collocated Mediation (not recommended)
• Option to use separate public IP addresses for external web-based applications (FE and Director pool web services, Office Web Apps)
• Support for Office Web Apps farms (up to 6 nodes)
• Additional scripts (setup accounts for synthetic transactions)
• Required empty input cells displayed in red

Other:
 

• Supports Standard and Enterprise pools (up to 12 nodes), with pure device-based load balancing (HLB) or a combination of DNS load balancing and device-based load balancing for web services (DNS LB);  
• Supports Edge, Director and Mediation pools (up to 12 nodes per role) with HLB or DNS LB;  
• Supports up to 4 PSTN gateways (can be media gateways, direct SIP trunks, etc.) with or without media bypass and configurable SIP over TCP or TLS, media ports, media bypass  
• Ability to specify custom media ports for clients and servers. DDC automatically applies consecutive non-overlapping ranges, and creates the appropriate commands on the Scripts sheet to apply these on to your deployment;  
• Calculates internal and external certificates CN and SAN; for the external certificate, it provides the option of separate or single certificate for Edge and Reverse proxy;
• Calculates DNS entries for internal and external zones. Further to that, DDC generates a script (in the Scripts sheet) which will automatically add the required records for both pinpoint or split-brain DNS.

  Calculates firewall rules for: 

• Internal firewalls (internal-facing DMZ); 
• External firewalls (external-facing DMZ);
• PSTN: The PSTN firewall sheet calculates custom rules for firewalls behind PSTN gateways, if any;
• Endpoints: the internal client Firewall sheet calculates custom rules for personal firewalls installed on clients, and rules required in scenarios with endpoints segregated by VLANs or other restrictions in place.

  Script section: new in version 4.x and still at an initial stage, but with plans to grow it over time. Currently it supports:

• DHCP: We have included a modified version of DhcpConfigScript.bat (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412988(v=ocs.14).aspx), with the correct hexadecimal values automatically calculated and included, based on your design inputs; this removes the requirement to use dhcputil to generate the script and makes it ready to run on x86 and x64 Windows DHCP servers;
• DNS: Scripts to create necessary records based on dnscmd (with both pinpoint and split-brain, based on your selection);
• Office Web Apps: scripts to automate certificate request (through certutil), installation and web farm creation;
• Forward Proxy exceptions;
• QoS: PowerShell commands to configure custom port ranges;
• Setup accounts for synthetic transactions.
