Aktualizacje dla Skype for Business

Minęła już połowa wakacji, wróciłem z urlopu, ale zespół produktowy Skype for Business nie próżnuje. W ostatnich dniach pojawił się pakiet aktualizacji CU10 dla Skype for Business 2015, a nieco wcześniej (podczas mojego urlopu) długo oczekiwany pakiet CU1 dla Skype for Business 2019. O ile Skype for Business 2015 aktualizowany jest regularnie (CU 8 w grudniu, CU8/HF1 w marcu i CU9 w maju - w tym artykule zaktualizowana lista poprawek), to w przypadku Skype'a 2019 pierwsza aktualizacja, ale za to pełna nowych funkcjonalności. Co można znaleźć w tych aktualizacjach?

Skype for Business 2015 CU10 usprawnia LBR i bezpieczeństwo systemu, rozwiązuje również sporo problemów zgłoszonych w ostatnich miesiącach, :

Na CU1 dla Skype for Business 2019 czekaliśmy bardzo długo. Jeszcze w zeszłym roku Microsoft zapowiedział kilka istotnych usprawnień, takich jak zastąpienie w Control Panelu Silverlighta przez HTML 5 oraz wprowadzenie cmdletów dostępnych w SEFAUtil (więcej o SEFAUtil w oddzielnym artykule). Podobnie jak w przypadku CU10 dla SfB 2015 pakiet usprawnia również Location Based Routing oraz naprawia błędy znalezione w ostatnich miesiącach w Skype for Business 2019. Istalacja pakietu jest realizowana dokładnie tak samo jak w wersji 2015, więcej szczegółów w artykule KB, poniżej lista poprawek:

Warto również wspomnieć o zaktualizowanych narzędziach Skype for Business Server 2019 Debugging Tools - Snooper ma nowy build, jednak Microsoft nie opublikował informacji jakie zmiany zostałe wprowadzone. Zostały  również zaktualizowane materiały na temat parametrów KHI, zarówno dla Skype for Business 2015/2019 jak i Lync Server 2013.
