Lync is now Skype for Business — see what's new
Catastrophic Failure posted a blog entry in Catastrophic Failure
If you already use Skype to stay in touch with friends and family in your life away from work, you'll appreciate the power and simplicity of Skype for Business where it's easy to find and connect with co-workers. And you can use the devices you already have to reach businesses through an enterprise-grade, secure, IT-managed platform. If you're coming to Skype for Business from Lync, you'll recognize all of the features you already use but in a fresh new interface with simplified controls and some great new additions: New look and feel Call from Skype for Business using your desk phone for audio Integration with the Skype directory Call Monitor Rate My Call Quick access to call controls Emoticons New look and feel If you’re a regular user of the commercial version of Skype, then Skype for Business will seem very familiar: the Contacts list, presence indicators, buttons and icons, and even the app sounds should make you feel right at home. Learn more. Of course, all the essential Lync features are still there—like the Quick Actions buttons, which let you IM or call a contact (and more) with just one click or tap. In the Skype Meeting window, the simplified arrangement of controls and menus makes it easy to find the command you need. In the conversation window, chat text is formatted so you can easily see who’s talking, and tabbed conversations allow you to keep track of several discussions at once. If you've ever had someone send you a file during an IM conversation, then file transfer preview is another feature of the new Skype for Business look and feel you'll appreciate. When someone sends you a file, select Download in the IM window to update the file's icon, or right-click or tap and hold to forward, preview, or delete it. Call from Skype for Business using your desk phone for audio Important This feature is available only if your organization has Skype for Business Server 2015. If you have a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) desk phone and your IT department has configured it to work with Skype for Business you can search for people in your organization and place calls to them from within the Skype for Business user interface, while audio for the call flows through your standard desk (PBX) phone. You can also place calls from the Skype for Business client using any phone near you (like your mobile, home, or hotel phone). The person you’re calling sees your phone number as though you were calling from your company's main phone number. When you make a Skype for Business call with audio routed through your desk phone, you get great audio, plus: IM—so you can do a quick copy/paste of a URL you want to share, for example Desktop and app sharing—so you can easily show and tell, work through problems, or explain stuff with visuals Attachments—send files to the other person without leaving Skype for Business Server admins enable and configure this feature for the enterprise. End users have limited configuration capabilities, which include turning the feature on or off for their individual account (once it's enabled at the enterprise level) and setting the phone number that Skype for Business should call. If the number has been set and locked by the administrator, then outgoing call options will be unavailable. For more information, see Make a Skype for Business call but use your PBX desk phone for audio Integration with the Skype directory Important This feature requires: Skype for Business Server 2015 or Skype for Business for Office 365 The latest version of Skype Skype for Business users can connect over the Internet with hundreds of millions of Skype users right from the Skype for Business user interface. The first step is to search for your contact. In the search box on the Contacts view of the Skype for Business main window, type a name, IM address, or desk phone number (if they are in your organization). As you type, search results will start appearing below the search box and the tabs will change from Groups, Status, Relationships, and New: to My Contacts and Skype Directory: If the person you are searching for is in your organization, keep the My Contacts tab selected (that's the default). When My Contacts is selected, Skype for Business searches in your organization's address book. If the person you are searching for is not in your organization but you know they have a Skype account, click the Skype Directory tab to search for them among the millions of Skype users out there. Knowing their Skype ID and location helps narrow the search quickly. You can also search using their email address or Microsoft account (e.g., [email protected]). Note Your administrator enables or disables the Skype Directory search feature in accordance with your organization's search policy. If you don't see a Skype Directory tab like the one shown in the screen shot above, then you won't be able to search for Skype users. When you search for contacts in the Skype directory, you can add them to your contact list, have an instant messaging conversation, see their presence information, and have an audio or video call with them. Note that the Skype directory only contains contact information for Skype users, not Skype for Business users. A Skype user who wants to add a Skype for Business user to their contact list must use the Skype for Business user's full email address, such as [email protected]. Call Monitor Call Monitor is a popular Skype feature that's now available in Skype for Business. With Call Monitor, you can move back and forth between a full Skype for Business window, for those times when you're actively participating in the call, and a compact version that lets you continue to monitor call progress—and mute or end the call—while focusing on other tasks. The compact Call Monitor window appears during an audio or video call whenever the main conversation window is minimized. To show the full conversation window again, simply double-click or double-tap the Call Monitor. Rate My Call The Rate My Call feature lets Skype for Business Server 2015 administrators collect call data, access standard reports, and export raw data for further analysis. This feature is available for on-premises deployments only. Users are prompted to take a survey after completing a call. Quick access to call controls Access to the dial pad and call controls is much improved. For public switched telephone network (PSTN) calls, the dial-pad and call controls remain visible throughout the call. For non-PSTN calls, the dial-pad and call controls are accessible with one click. Emoticons Skype for Business now includes the same set of emoticons found in the consumer version of Skype. You can turn off emoticons in Skype for Business by going to Options > IM. No server setting is available.

Using Transport rules, you can look for specific conditions in messages that pass through your organization and take action on them. Transport rules let you apply messaging policies to email messages, secure messages, protect messaging systems, and prevent information leakage. Many organizations today are required by law, regulatory requirements, or company policies to apply messaging policies that limit the interaction between recipients and senders, both inside and outside the organization. In addition to limiting interactions among individuals, departmental groups inside the organization, and entities outside the organization, some organizations are also subject to the following messaging policy requirements: Preventing inappropriate content from entering or leaving the organization Filtering confidential organization information Tracking or archiving copying messages that are sent to or received from specific individuals Redirecting inbound and outbound messages for inspection before delivery Applying disclaimers to messages as they pass through the organization Overview of Transport rules Transport rules are similar to the Inbox rules that are available in many email clients. The main difference between Transport rules and rules you would set up in a client application such as Outlook is that Transport rules take action on messages while they’re in transit as opposed to after the message is delivered. Transport rules also contain a richer set of conditions, exceptions, and actions, which provides you with the flexibility to create a customized rule. You can create up to 100 Transport rules in order to implement your business-rule compliance. The following list summarizes the basic workflow for Transport rules: You create Transport rules to meet your business needs. As messages go through your organization, the Transport rules agent is invoked. The Transport rules agent is a special component that checks messages against the Transport rules you create. The Transport rules agent scans the message, and if the message fits the conditions you specify in a Transport rule, it takes the specified action on that message. Transport rule components Transport rules consist of the following components: Conditions Use Transport rule conditions to specify the characteristics of messages to which you want to apply a Transport rule action. Conditions consist of one or more predicates that specify the parts of a message that should be examined. Some predicates examine message fields or headers, such as the To, From, or Cc fields. Other predicates examine message characteristics such as message subject, body, attachments, message size, and message classification. Most predicates require that you specify a comparison operator, such as equals, doesn’t equal, or contains, and a value to match. Exceptions Exceptions are based on the same predicates used to build Transport rule conditions. However, unlike conditions, exceptions identify messages to which Transport rule actions shouldn’t be applied. Exceptions override conditions and prevent actions from being applied to an email message, even if the message matches all configured conditions. Actions Actions are applied to messages that match the conditions and don’t match any exceptions defined in the Transport rule. Transport rules have many actions available, such as rejecting, deleting, or redirecting messages, adding additional recipients, adding prefixes in the message subject, or inserting disclaimers in the message body. For a complete list of Transport rule predicates, see Transport Rule Predicates. The list of predicates is also available in the Transport rule dialog in the EAC. If you use the Shell, you can retrieve the list of predicates by using the Get-TransportRulePredicate cmdlet. For a complete list of Transport rule actions available, see Transport Rule Actions. The list of actions is also available in the Transport rule dialog box in the EAC. If you use the Shell, you can retrieve the list of actions by using the Get-TransportRuleAction cmdlet. To create Transport Rules in Office 365, first must log into Office 365portal https://portal.microsoftonline.com/default.aspx and go to the following location: Go to Admin and choose Exchange 2. Navigate to Mail Flow (from the left site) and choose Rules This is where any and all transport rules can be created and applied Once you are in the rules area of the O365 portal, you perform the following: 1. Press the + sign and then select Create a new rule 2. Choose a name for this rule and choose the rule for your condition (depends what you want to achieve) 3. Choose the option that apply for your condition and after you finished click on Save 4. Now, this rule is ready to be applied to all emails coming through your Office 365 tenant. For comprehensive information on Transport Rules as a whole, refer to the following link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351127(v=exchg.150).aspx Outlook Rules A rule is an action that Microsoft Outlook runs automatically on incoming or outgoing messages, based on conditions that you have specified. Rules help reduce manually filing or taking the same action when a similar message arrives. Unlike Quick Steps, rules typically are always on and run automatically. For example, when a message is received from a specified person, it’s automatically moved to the folder that you designate. The Rules Wizard helps you design rules to manage messages. Rules fall into one of two categories — organization and notification. The Rules Wizard includes templates for the most frequently used rules, which include the following: Stay Organized These rules help you file and follow up on messages. For example, you can create a rule for messages from a specific sender, such as Anne Weiler, with the word “sales” in the Subject line, to be flagged for follow-up, categorized as Sales, and moved to a folder named Anne’s Sales. Stay Up to Date These rules notify you in some way when you receive a particular message. For example, you can create a rule that automatically sends a message to a mobile device when you receive a message from a family member. Start from a blank rule These are rules that you create without the aid of a rule template and that you can completely customize. Create a rule Outlook includes rule templates for common scenarios. Use these rule templates, or create design your own custom rules. 1. Click the File tab, click Manage Rules & Alerts 2. In the Rules and Alerts dialog box, on the E-mail Rules tab, click New Rule 3. Follow the wizard and at the end click Finish Additional Information: Manage email messages by using rules http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/manage-email-messages-by-using-rules-HA102749402.aspx

Exchange Server 2013 SP1 Prerequisites (Exchange2013SP1Prerequisites_v1.0) This script automate execute steps for installing the necessary Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 operating system prerequisites for the Microsoft Exchange 2013 Mailbox, Client Access, Multirole and Edge Transport server roles. The prerequisites that are needed to install Exchange 2013 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012 computer depends on which Exchange roles you want to install. What do you need to know before you begin? o The Edge Transport server role is available starting with Exchange 2013 SP1. o Make sure that the functional level of your forest is at least Windows Server 2003, and that the schema master is running Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 or later. o The full installation option of Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 must be used for all servers running Exchange 2013 server roles or management tools. o You must first join the computer to the appropriate internal Active Directory forest and domain. o You must check and be sure your server has access to the internet o Some prerequisites require you to reboot the server to complete installation. Let’s have a quick look how to execute the script Exchange2013SP1Prerequisites_v1.0 on Windows PowerShell and what this script do for us. 1. Login to Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 with Enterprise Administrator credentials 2. Start Windows PowerShell “As Administrator” 3. Next step, copy the script Exchange2013SP1Prerequisites_v1.0 on (C:\) drive 4. Let’s start with running scripts from within Windows PowerShell itself. In case you get weird error messages when you try to run a script, the reason is only one, security settings built into Windows PowerShell include something called the “execution policy” the execution policy determines how (or if) PowerShell runs scripts. By default, PowerShell’s execution policy is set to Restricted that means that scripts – including those you write yourself – won’t run. Navigate back to Windows PowerShell and set the Execution policy to unrestricted in order to be able to run the script, in that case, use this command to set your execution policy to RemoteSigned or Unrestricted Note: The Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet enables you to determine which Windows PowerShell scripts (if any) will be allowed to run on your computer. Windows PowerShell has four different execution policies: o Restricted – No scripts can be run. Windows PowerShell can be used only in interactive mode. o AllSigned – Only scripts signed by a trusted publisher can be run. o RemoteSigned – Downloaded scripts must be signed by a trusted publisher before they can be run. o Unrestricted – No restrictions; all Windows PowerShell scripts can be run. 5. The most common (default) way to run a script is by calling it: PS C:\> & “C:\Admin\My first Script.ps1″ If the path does not contain any spaces, then you can omit the quotes and the ‘&’ operator PS C:\> C:\Admin\Myscript.ps1 If the script is in the current directory, you must indicate this using .\ (or ./ will also work) PS C:\> .\Myscript.ps1 In our case scenario we run the script in the current directory “C:\” so, we must indicate this using .\ and we click Enter 6. Our script now it starts running, select an option from the menu. In my case scenario, I will select option 3 (E2013 Multirole installation) and click Enter 7. As you can easy check bellow, my Multirole Prerequisites are in progress to be download and install 8. After the Prerequisites successfully installed, we have to choose the option 10 in order to restart our server 9. After restart your server, login as EA and proceed to install your Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 SP1 You can download the script here Enjoy…..

Where is the EMC in Exchange Server 2013?
Catastrophic Failure posted a blog entry in Catastrophic Failure
The most of you start wander “Where is the EMC (Exchange Management Console) in Exchange Server 2013?” Well, some things remain the same as login in the new Exchange Server 2013, and other things change (this is the technology). Let’s see together which are the things are new in Exchange Server 2013, one of those is the EMC (Exchange Management Console). Where is the EMC (Exchange Management Console) and how where we can find it? Almost everything in new Exchange 2013 is web-based management console, not EMC (Exchange Management Console) but EAC (Exchange Administration Center), that allows for ease of use and is optimized for on-premises, online, or hybrid Exchange deployments. The EAC replaces the Exchange Management Console (EMC) and the Exchange Control Panel (ECP), which were the two interfaces that were used to manage Exchange Server 2010. One of the advantages of having the web-based EAC is that you can partition access from the Internet/Intranet from within the ECP IIS virtual directory to allow or disallow management features. This allows you to permit or deny access to users trying to access the EAC from the Internet outside of your organizational environment, while still allowing access to an end-user’s Outlook Web App Options. How can I login to EAC? If we navigate to IE (Internet Explorer) and type http://server FQDN/ecp (in my scenario is https://e2013.cloud.com/ecp and voila, you are now logged in the new EAC old EMC console.. Supported browsers For the best experience with the EAC, use one of the operating system and browser combinations labeled “Premium”. Premium: All functional features are well-supported and fully tested. Supported: Has same functional feature support as premium; however, supported browsers will be missing features that the browser and operating system combination doesn’t support. Unsupported: The browser and operating system isn’t supported or tested. Be in tune...
