I was on an install recently that involved deploying a Sonus SBC 1000 to replace an upstream Mitel 3300 ICP and a Dialogic Media Gateway – effectively this was to retire old and unnecessary hardware so that Lync can connect directly to ISDN (via the Sonus). There was a snag…
I took this screenshot back in March 2013 because it amused me, and I’ve just stumbled across it again.. Microsoft have done such a dramatic (and fantastic) job of changing MMC based Management Console to the new web based interface. And along the way they’ve managed to either bundle in…
If you like PowerShell and have been looking at the ‘Request-CsCertificate’ TechNet site, you’ll notice that it doesn’t say anything about requesting an OAuth certificate anywhere on there.

The documentation only goes up to Lync 2010, so that’s where I’ll start. Firstly, the language on…
