Lync/SfB Edge Server on a single subnet

The point of this post is to help those that can't have 2 NIC on 2 separated not routable subnets. I have already encountered some customers whose security team stated that it was technically impossible to deploy an additional subnet on their current security/network infrastructure.

AudioCodes 420HD – Failed to validate server

AudioCodes 420HD can be a good replacement for Lync Phone Editions, at least regarding its price. However, don't expect to have all the features that exist in the Lync Phone Editions. In addition, AudioCodes has already promised to enable Better Together over Ethernet to 420HD, 430HD and 440HD in a future firmware release.

“No available Servers to connect to” when trying to view user PIN status.

Recently, someone asked me if I could check his PIN. Usually, I instruct the user to change his PIN in the Dialin Web Page, but in this case, since Lync Control Panel was already open, I check the PIN Status: Request failed with error No available Servers to connect to: The only error was managing … Continue reading “No available Servers to connect to” when trying to view user PIN status. →

Installing private CA root certificate on iOS devices

This isn't related to Lync or OCS, but we see people having a hard time to install root CA certificates on iOS devices (iPhone/iPad).

Lync 2013: EWS has not fully initialized

Lync 2013 Client was internal, therefore the conversations were stored in the Outlook Conversation History folder. … Continue reading Lync 2013: EWS has not fully initialized →
