http://www.bink.nu/windows-8-has-reached-the-rtm-milestone I've made the (fair) assumption that server will become available at the same time as the client. Im not convinced that many people (in the corporate space) actually care about Win 8.... part of that is because Win7 is a bloody good OS.... if Win-7-to-go existed... i think there would be even less interest…

Many MS products seem to flip flop from web-based admin to MMC and back again. I fucking hate web-based admin. Sure as an additional administration option, web based is…
Continue readingWe went into a regular client this week, after another consultancy had tried to integrate Lync with exchange 2010 and get a sip trunk working. 4 full days - and not only was it not working, but it was busted existing functionality. (We put in the original Lync home server) We actually picked up this…

I'll be putting in Lync 2010 with a sip trunk as my phone system... but what about front door camera and door strike access, intercom ? Mobotix use a…

Continue readingHadnt seen this article before - but an employee pointed it out http://blog.schertz.name/2011/02/wildcard-certificates-in-lync-server/ its quite a good explaination of where wildcards can fall down in a lync deployment
