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. Before feature.presence.enabled=”0″ Syslog from VVX Phone. Data measured in Bytes After feature.presence.enabled=”1″ Phones set to pickup changes between Midnight and […]
Another day and another odd ball issue with Skype for Buiness and Polycom VVX Phones. So hopefully this helps someone along the way. Scenario So I have an existing common area phone that is attempting to pin auth into a server. The customer has CX600 phones and looking to replace those phones with new VVX […]
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 […]

I’m not responsible for anything you break. Warning #2. This procedure has only been tested on Lync 2013 and Skype for Business 2015 servers. This has not […]
As the world might know, I’ve been playing around with VVX provisioning files for the better part of a few months. We added some basic Polycom Provisioning Server support to the skypevalidator.com website two months ago. I’ve been working on taking this a step further with individual files and found an oddity. Issue: My provisioning […]
So we were presented with an interesting question. Can we use the Audio Test Service on the mobile client. When I tried to search for the object on my Windows Phone it didn’t find anything (I’ll be honest, could be searchable from other mobile platforms but I didn’t test it) but we came up with […]
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 […]
