In Skype for Business Cumulative Update 1 (CU1), Microsoft introduced a new feature called Shared Line Appearance (SLA). The feature was so popular and requested that in a later CU, Microsoft back-ported the code to Lync 2013 for those who had not upgraded to SfB. I won’t get into the configuration of SLA as you
Sometimes you are just blown away by the simplicity of a problem. I’m going to let pictures do all of the talking on this. All you need to know is environment is Polycom VVX Phones.

In this scenario we have a user who is having his/her phone SimRing to an endpoint (such as their mobile device) yet the client doesn’t show any SimRing turned on. How can you verify in the database what is setup for the user. Issue We will need SQL Management Studio loaded on a server in

As the world might know, I’ve been playing around with VVX provisioning files for the better part of a few months.

The transition from LyncValidator to SkypeValidator is nearly complete. Although many items look “similar” I can tell you under the hood it’s a complete rewrite of the code to attempt to make things much faster. So what are the big changes. #1 – Monitoring Features In the previous LyncValidator the monitoring features were pretty much
