Setup

Hi folks,

Today I had to deploy Skype for Business for a Office 365 Business Premium Plan using ConfigMgr 2012 R2. This is a special O365 plan for a maximum of 300 users.

Normally with an E3 plan you can use a config.XML file with the lync product code entry called “LyncRetail”.

This is not working for all other plans like E1, E2, Business, BusinessPremium etc.! You have to change the product code to “LyncEntryRetail” otherwise you won’t be able to activate your Skype for Business installation.

This is how my config file now looks like:

</Configuration>

Here you can find a list of all supported products: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2842297

Maybe this helps.

Cheers,
Al

Hi – It’s me, Alain
A quick post: Today I was running into a problem upgrading Windows Server 2003 with the CU4 SCCM SP1 Client.

The Server startetd to install the Client but faild after a few minutes with following errors in the application eventlog:

.NET Runtime Optimization Service (clr_optimization_v2.0.50727_32) – Failed to compile: C:WINDOWSCCMSCClient.exe.config . Error code = 0x8007000b
.NET Runtime Optimization Service (clr_optimization_v2.0.50727_32) – Failed to compile: C:WINDOWSCCMSCNotification.exe.config . Error code = 0x8007000b
.NET Runtime Optimization Service (clr_optimization_v2.0.50727_32) – Failed to compile: C:WINDOWSCCMSCToastNotification.exe . Error code = 0x8007000b
.NET Runtime Optimization Service (clr_optimization_v2.0.50727_32) – Failed to compile: C:WINDOWSCCMSCToastNotification.exe.config . Error code = 0x8007000b

Solution: Make sure you have .net 4 Framework installed. Uses this patch KB982671

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982671/en-us

No reboot is required after installing the KB. Just make sure you’re refresh the maschine policy to install the client.

And please: Keep your systems patched :-).

Al
