Beware of Lync Common Area Phone Hotdesking

by Jamie Schwinn on June 13, 2011

I was recently working with a customer who had just deployed a number of Polycom CX600′s as Lync 2010 Common Area Phones across several branch offices in conference rooms and lobbies. The initial deployment went smoothly and the Common Area Phones were working as expected.  

The next Monday morning, I received a call from the customer saying that all of the Common Area Phones were offline, showing the message “Signing in… Cannot sign in. There may be a problem with the server or with your network connection. Please check your network connection. Retrying.”

Lync 2010 Unable to Place Call through Edge

by Jamie Schwinn on April 21, 2011

I ran into an unexpected issue during a migration from OCS 2007 R2 to Lync 2010 and felt it deserved documenting. In the environment, OCS and Lync had been in coexistence for some time, and the decision was made to migrate the voice path from OCS Mediation servers to Lync Mediation servers collocated on the Lync Front End and a Lync SBA. After assigning new Lync Dial Plans and Voice Policies to the users, I started receiving complaints about failed calls from remote users connected through the OCS Edge Server. Certain calls were failing only when connected through the Edge with the error message “Unable to place call. Please check the number and try again“. After a little trial and error it became clear that calls made to E.164 normalized numbers worked fine but calls to non-E.164 normalized numbers were failing consistently.
