Skype Updater - Success.... or not....

-
Another item that, on a good day, you pick up straight away.
After a long day it can lead to throwing the keyboard at the screen.


When running "SkypeServerUpdateInstaller.exe" you might see:

SUCCESS: Found the main process.

and then back to the command prompt.

W. T. F.
the answer is deceptively simple. Windows Update is running the installer in the background. For whatever reason (admin approved, WSUS download etc) the skype installer is there, stopped at the dialogue box with crosses and ticks. except you cant see it.

To fix, just kill the process SkypeServerUpdateInstaller.exe

Simples! (on a good day.....)

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 us...

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. A step up from the CX3000 they replaced, these are nice pieces of kit. I just missed out on a trio 8800 and visual+ bundle, so with VVX501 in hand i setup a provisioning service. FTP server - filezilla - check exceptions in the firewall - allow the filezilla app through - check DHCP options (160 AND 161 for newer firmware) - check Create a config file for the MAC address (i only have a single device, after all) Remembering to disable updates from the Lync/Skype/Office365 service - I dont want a reboot loop as it updated and downgrades repeatedly. <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <...
