Renew Lync Group Chat certificates.
Our internal Chat server cert recently expired. Skype for business group chat has stopped working.
Skype for business 2010.
Does anyone know how to renew a certificate between the Chat server and the Lync server ?
Both are housed internally in our building.

Thanks!

Hello All!
I'm back again. So myself and another guy I work with have inherited the SCCM system from our predecessor who is no longer with the company. (hence all the SCCM related questions)

We are looking at upgrading to ConfigMgr 1810 from 1802. I'm doing some research to understand the process and make sure I am not missing anything major so that we can make this as seamless as possible.

Some basics about our setup:
-14 DP's of which 11 are Pull DP's
-1 Cloud DP
-Only run OSD from a single site - the Main SCCM site
-Have only recently begun expanding application deployment via SCCM, so minimal applications on the DP's at this point
-We have about 1500 clients installed including VM's, servers, and end user workstations

What I am wondering is what the major considerations we have to think about before we get this started. I'm speaking specifically to your experience and or resources. I have the MS TechNet upgrade checklist, back up procedures for the the site, and a step by step upgrade guide from System Center Dudes. We are planning on taking a snapshot of the SCCM server ahead of time to protect the system if it all blows up.

Would be great to get some insight from anyone with experience in this as I want to minimize the surprises (I know I can't eliminate them all) for this upgrade.

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to your insight!
Curtis,

We recently upgraded our SCCM clients (Configuration Manager) to 5.00.8634.1814.

We did this after upgrading the site to 1802.

After the upgrade all of the icons in Software Center are wacked out.  Prior to the upgrade, something was taking different sized icons and make them automatically appear the same.

In the new version, this functionality works in the List View option - all icons appear the same size regardless of their size.  In Tile View, which everyone uses, this is not the case.  The icons are not being adjusted for the view.

Has anyone else noted this issue?  Is there a setting somewhere I can click to resize?

I hope so.  So far it's that or I have to resize them all manually.

SIP and Primary SMTP domains do not match. Skype for Business 2015 client displays EWS not deployed.
Hello, I have an Exchange 2007 and Skype for Business 2015 Server on-premise solution deployed.
Originally, functioning fine with SAN certs using <company>.org domain for required certs on mail server and SfB 2015 Standard Edition solution (Standard, Edge and WAP servers).
Primary SMTP domain was <longcompanyname>.com  (domain NOT included in the SAN certs) and everything functioned fine including Conversation History and Calendar synch between Outlook (2007-2013) and Skype for Business 2015 client.
Fast forward a few years and....
New domain purchased and Primary SMTP for each user changed to <shortcompanyname>.com
NOW, Conversation History and Calendar do NOT synch with Outlook anymore.
Research appeared to state I can have this circumstance without issue after running 'Set-CsClientPolicy -DisableEmailComparisonCheck $true'
Ran the powershell command on the SfB Standard Edition server, rebooted test client and SfB solution. STill Outlook Integration Error and EWS not deployed in SfB client Configuration info.
Advice?

I'm having no luck with this on Google.  

I need to create a custom report in SCCM that will list out all systems that have not rebooted within the last 14 days.  I'm completely unfamiliar with creating SCCM reports.  I'm looking for a step-by-step on how to create this report.  So far, I've found lots of SQL statements that don't work but that's about it.

If you have a link to a video or article on how to do this it would be great!

Thank you,

I am interested in trying to use PowerShell against our company SharePoint portal, We have some automation Tools like MS Flow and Alteryx Server that we are leveraging and I am trying to connect to a Workflow History listing. However, it is hidden from these other tools and I hoping Powershell might be an option.

I am trying to install and get it to work our on AWS EC2 environment and I keep having a lot of trouble adding the Add-In for SharePoint,

I tried following this kind of instruction but had zero success.

Any suggestions?

In our Sharepoint site, we have 2 lists.
One we'll call list A (which is the master list) and list B (which is almost the same list, but with less fields).

• List A is only accessible by a small group of persons (let's call the group G).
• List B is accessible to everybody.

Our workflow is structured in such way that when you create an element in List B, it gets copied in List A and deleted from List B. The goal is to enable anyone to create entries in List A, but with limited access to certain fields.
If a user of group G creates an element in List B, the workflow works perfect (since the user has "contribute" access on List A, being member of group G).
But if any user NOT member of group G creates an element in List B, the workflow doesn't work, because it uses the same credentials as the user logged in who doesn't have "contribute" access on List A.

My question is :
Can we and how easy is it to impersonnate another users account in Sharepoint in a workflow process? The goal would be to impersonnate a generic user account that would have "contribute" access on List A and use that account just to make the copy on List A.

My second question is :
If it's not possible to impersonnate (or if it's not a good practice for security matters), how could I manage such a situation?

Thanks,
Claude

We use Ken's Skypeoptimzer site to create our dialing rules. we've used failover routing in the same site for this.

unfortunately an unintended result is: any external inbound call to one of our users which has simring enabled, results in the sim ring leg of the call going out via our second SIP trunk and not through the same trunk as the inbound call. this becomes an issue since our Secondary 'failover' trunk is infact a pstn gateway which cannot pass the original calling parties call id on the outbound call id of the simring portion of the call.

we do have an sbc which we can add the pstn gateway to (the same one which controls the primary SIP Trunk), the issue is this would introduce a single point of failure into the call path.

has anyone successfully managed to deal with this issue?

I am trying to include some text blocks on a SharePoint 2013 Survey.  It would seem that there would be some functionality that allows for this, but there is not.  Is there a way around this?  I need to include some titles and directions at the beginning of the survey, and some informational text throughout the survey.

Hello
Currently we have TMG as web proxy and websense as web filtering
We are going to replace TMG with Bluecoat SG Appliance.

Hence I need to know which design is considered as best in terms of secure and efficiency.

We have 1500 users.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am upgrading CRM 2011 to CRM 2013 for two organizations (CRMTEST and CRMPROD).  The plan is to upgrade each org to newer CRM versions to get to Dynamics 365 (so CRM 2011 to CRM 2013 to CRM 2015 to CRM 2016 to Dynamics 365)

My question is: we have built one CRM server to Dynamics 365 specs and one SQL Server built to Dynamics 365 requirements.  Is it recommended to have separate servers for  the CRMTEST org and CRMPROD org?  Given our current VMs, we would need to upgrade to a single set of servers, with CRMTEST and CRMPROD on the same Dynamics 365 servers.

The current CRM 2011 environments have separate servers for CRMTEST and CRMPROD.  What could be the problems with both TEST and PROD on the same servers?  For example, could this cause issues with refreshing CRMTEST with CRMPROD?

Thanks

I keep seeing this error message on two 100% identical (same hardware ProLiant DL380p G8, 8 GB RAM on each, same 2012 R2 o/s, same updates) servers that are currently

Both are physical servers (NO virtualization running on them) on the same network in the same AD domain as all other servers that do not show this error
