“No available Servers to connect to” when trying to view user PIN status.
Recently, someone asked me if I could check his PIN.

Difference between Open and Closed Federation in Lync/SfB Server
One of the features that Lync Server and Skype for Business Server has and customers like is the ability to federate with another company.

Lync Server 2013 Cumulative Update List: July 2022
Since we already have a Lync Server 2010 Cumulative Update List it makes sense to have the same for Lync Server 2013.

Persistent Chat: Your chat room access may be limited due to an outage.
One of the new features in Lync 2013 is the Persistent Chat. Maybe not everyone will deploy this, but nonetheless it's a great feature. Persistent Chat is basically a group chat that we can collocate in the Front End Server.

CPU (Socket/No. of Core) Considerations in Lync Server 2013/Skype for Business Server 2015
Update 2017/05/29 - Added Skype for Business Server 2015 and SQL Server 2014 reference. The hardware requirements in Lync Server 2013/Skype for Business Server 2015 have increased since the previous version, which makes sense since now Audio/Video Conferencing, Monitoring and Archiving roles can be collocated in the Front End. As a result, more CPU and RAM … Continue reading CPU (Socket/No. of Core) Considerations in Lync Server 2013/Skype for Business Server 2015
