Lync 2013 Android update

Is out since last night


What's new:

  • Quickly rejoin to a Lync Meeting you just left
  • Pick up your conversations from the point you ended them.
(...) the Lync team also improved the media and audio routing for the client. The work was mainly to support new devices and newer Android OS versions, in addition to the audio flow throughout the client (handset, speaker phone and headset).

Lync 2013 and Windows Server 2012 R2

I've come across some issues with Lync 2013 and Windows Server 2012 R2 (TLS fix is applied!)

Working on a project with 2 Pools and a number of SBSs and for some reason every couple of days the users on the SBSs go into Outage Mode. After reading the logs I can see "TLS negotiation failed" and after that the SBS can't talk to the FEs anymore, can't even browse to any Web Service on that FE.

Haven't figured out what's actually wrong but rebooting the FEs seems to be the only way to fix it.

I'll post more info once I have it but for now I would stay away from 2012 R2 if you are thinking of deploying SBSs
