A suivre pour ceux commencant a essayer la nouvelle fonctionnalité BusyOnBusy disponible depuis le CU3 pour Skype for Business avec des utilisateurs dans Exchange Online: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3168736

Probleme:

When you set the BusyOnBusy option to an ActionType of VoicemailOnBusy, you receive a "Voicemail is not enabled for Identity KatieJ@contoso.com" error message.

Cause:

This issue occurs when the user's mailbox is homed in Office 365 Exchange and has a Hosted Voicemail policy instead of an Exchange on-premises UM Mailbox policy.

Workaround:

To work around this issue, enable the user for BusyOnBusy with an ActionType of VoicemailOnBusy before you move the user’s mailbox to Exchange Online. Then, enable the user for a hosted voice mail policy in Skype for Business on-premises.

Note Support for this configuration is "best effort" because the VoicemailOnBusy action type was designed to support only on-premises Exchange UM deployments.

Dans le cadre d'une migration d'un environnement Lync vers Skype for Business comprenant des SBA, une réassociation de ces derniers avec le nouvel environnement est nécessaire.

Au jour du post, l'applicatif SFB pour SBA n'est pas encore disponible, mais l'image Lync Serveur est totalement compatible dans le cadre d'une coexistance avec les nouveaux serveurs SFB:

Skype for Business Server 2015 doesn't support an In-Place Upgrade of a Lync Server 2010 or Lync Server 2013  Survivable Branch Appliance (SBA), or a Lync Server 2010  Survivable Branch Server (SBS), or a Lync Server 2013 SBS.

However, we do support coexistence of Skype for Business Server datacenters with Lync Server 2013 SBS/SBA and coexistence of Skype for Business Server datacenters with Lync Server 2010 SBS/SBA.

L'opération nécessite de respecter les étapes scrupuleusements.

1/ Déplacez les utilisateurs du Survivable Branch Appliance vers le pool de serveurs SFB:

Exemple de commande disponible ici: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg182600.aspx

L'objectif est de déplacer les utilisateurs et téléphones gérés par le SBA vers le pool. Bien prendre les comptes afin de procéder a l'opération inverse ensuite.

2/ Stopper les services Lync sur le SBA

3/ Modification de l'association dans le topology builder

CUCM 11.5 est disponible depuis quelques jours au téléchargement depuis un CCO,

La release notes de la version 11.5 pour CUCM et IM & Presence est disponible ici: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/rel_notes/11_5_1/cucm_b_release-notes-cucm-imp-1151.html

Points a prendre en considération:

Deprecated Phone Models:

As of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Firmware Release 11.5, the following phones are not supported:

•     Cisco IP Phone 12 SP+ and related models
•     Cisco IP Phone 30 VIP and related models
•     Cisco Unified IP Phone 7902
•     Cisco Unified IP Phone 7905
•     Cisco Unified IP Phone 7910
•     Cisco Unified IP Phone 7910SW
•     Cisco Unified IP Phone 7912
•     Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920
•     Cisco Unified IP Conference Station 7935

If you use any of these phone models on an older release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and you upgrade to Release 11.5, the phone will not work after the upgrade completes.

IM and Presence Service Interoperability with Expressway-C

To interoperate Cisco Unified IM and Presence Service Release 11.5(1) and Expressway-C, you must be running a minimum version of Expressway-C X8.8. IM and Presence Service 11.5(1) does not support earlier versions of Expressway-C.

If you are upgrading from an earlier release where you are already interoperating with Expressway-C, upgrade your Expressway-C system to X8.8. After upgrading Expressway-C, you can upgrade your IM and Presence Service.

Cisco IP Phone 7800 and 8800 Series Features

The phone Firmware Release 11.5 is not embedded in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 11.5. The phone firmware needs to be downloaded from Cisco.com and installed separately.

Remote Call Control using Upgraded Skype for Business Clients

With this release, the Remote Call Control feature of IM and Presence Service supports Skype for Business 2015 clients that were upgraded from Lync 2013 clients, and which are registered to a Lync 2013 server. With this feature, users can use the upgraded Skype for Business client to control their Cisco Unified IP Phone.

The Skype for Business 2015 client must have been upgraded from a Lync 2013 client, and must be registered to a Lync 2013 server

Contexte:

Migration d'un environnement Lync 2013 vers Skype for Business en mode HA et DR.

Résolution:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3070789

Les étapes:

• Télécharger l'application Skype for Business Server 2015, Post Move Cleanup Tool
• Ouvrir une fenêtre command promp avec des privilèges élevés
• Lancer la commande PostMoveCleanup.exe -SummaryFile <Path of summary file> [-MachineFqdn <Fqdn of server>] [-LogFile <Path of log file>]

Notes:

• You must provide to the tool the summary file that is generated by the Move-CsUser cmdlet.
• The -MachineFqdn parameter refers to the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server that the tool is connected to for cleanup of the local database. This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, it points to the local server on which the tool is running.
• The -LogFile parameter refers the path of the file that the tool writes logs to. The tool will append logs to the file if the file exists. This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the tool creates a new log file.
• There may be more than one summary file in the same folder that is generated by multiple uses of the Move-CsUser cmdlet. Make sure that the correct summary file is provided. You can find the summary file path in the Move-CsUser cmdlet output.
  
  For example, results from this operation can be found in the following path:
  
  C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\2\MoveResults-986d45c2-0035-485c-9cf7-f753380cf281.csv
