where to start?

Maybe its just me. I hope not. You go through days of ideas buzzing about your head, things to do, everything is a top priority.

Then, suddenly, you find you have an hour of free time and you know you have all these things to do, but cant remember a single one of them.

or you stumble into a problem and you know you've dealt with it before. But you cant remember.



welcome to my 'note to self'.

Skype Online and MCOValidationError

These user counts are incorporated into the Lync ReportHTML  from the previous post: https://jc-nts.blogspot.com/2019/05/powershell-module-reporthtml.html While doing some housekeeping for a client, I noticed that the Interpreted User Type attribute in SfBO threw up some HybridOnpremSfBUserWithMCOValidationError accounts. The full list included: DirSyncSfBUser: On-premises users which have been assigned a SfB online licence DirSyncTeamsUser: On-premises users which have been assigned a Teams licence HybridOnlineSfBUser: A user created on-premises and migrated to SfBO HybridOnpremSfBUser: A user created on-premises and enabled on-premises for Lync/Skype HybridOnpremSfBUserWithDeletedLicenses: An on-premises user has a deleted office 365 SfB licence HybridOnpremSfBUserWithMCOValidationError: An on-premises user with a domain that is not valid in your synchronised tenant PureOnlineSfBUser: Online users which have been assigned a SfB licence PureOnlineTeamsUser: Online users

Polycom provisioning - and Zoom!

-
Updated June 2019 So I have a little downtime which means I need a little project. On my 'havent setup in the test lab yet' is a polycom provisioning service. So, off to eBay i head for some devices (naturaly) and i'm pleasantly surprised to find some VVX handsets at a very reasonable £30. On a roll, i head off to find some Trio conference devices.
