Lync Dialing Rule Optimizer. Thursday, January 29, 2015. Out of the Gutter: The Ken Lasko Story, Part 2. Part 2 - Higher Learning. Through most of high school, I was a solid C student. I did the minimum effort required to get by without raising the ire of my parents or teachers. I was more focused on having fun without giving much thought to the future. So, we all piled into a few cars and made the 3 hour road trip down the 401 past Toronto to check out. My 1st year roommate studying hard. My on-campus r...

Lync Dialing Rule Optimizer. Thursday, August 13, 2015. Selective Caller ID Blocking in Lync/Skype for Business. Once in a while, a customer asks how they can block caller ID on outgoing calls in Lync/Skype for Business. If they're interested in blocking caller ID on all calls, then the answer has always been simple: use the Alternate Caller ID. Field in Voice Routes. Easy enough, right? But what if administrators want to give users the ability to selectively block caller ID at the individual call level?

Lync Dialing Rule Optimizer. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. In-Call QoE Reports in Skype for Business. When a Lync or Skype for Business user is in a call, the client is continually capturing call quality data that is invaluable in helping diagnose call issues. There are lots of metrics that are recorded, like round-trip times, network jitter, packet loss and even things like " Insufficient CPU event ratio. That indicates the call quality was affected by a heavily loaded processor. Message after the final BYE.

Lync Dialing Rule Optimizer. Monday, February 9, 2015. Out of the Gutter: The Ken Lasko Story, Part 3, Part II. One day in the late 1990's, I got a call from an old co-worker from my Microsoft days asking me if I wanted to help out on a 3-month long consulting job for the provincial government managing their Microsoft Mail 3.5. So began my consulting career. Working with this was as dirty as this package implies. I primarily consulted on Active Directory and Exchange projects, and had my hand in quite a ...

Lync Dialing Rule Optimizer. Friday, May 1, 2015. Address Book Normalization in Skype for Business. In Lync Server 2013 and older, you could use a special oddly named text file called the Company Phone Number Normalization Rules.txt. Thankfully, things have changed in Skype for Business to finally make address book normalization part of a new suite of PowerShell commands, *-CsAddressBookNormalizationConfiguration. Where * is the typical Get. Name : Generic E164. Pattern : ( d )[Xx] ( d{1,15}). In my opin...

Lync Dialing Rule Optimizer. Thursday, June 18, 2015. Dealing with Overdialing in Lync/Skype for Business. If you've never heard the term "overdialing", you're not alone. I hadn't heard of the term either until Greig Sheridan. Anyways."overdialing" can be thought of as what happens when people try to dial a phone number with more digits than are actually allowed by the PSTN carrier. This often pops up with numbers that are presented as words, like 1-800-BUYSTUFF. Would accept any number of digits with or...

I saw variations of this pose from my managers all too often. I had so many CD-ROMs that I used a bunch of old ones as a Halloween. Costume. Meet CD-MAN! All the OS support guys underwent extensive training on Windows 95 in preparation for what we. On the day Windows 95 finally released, I was sitting in my cubicle waiting for the onslaught of.

Lync Dialing Rule Optimizer. Monday, January 26, 2015. Out of the Gutter: The Ken Lasko Story, Part 1. I've really gotten a kick out of reading people's IT backstories on their blogs, so I thought I'd add mine in. This will be much like the Twilight and Hunger Games film series. There will be 3 parts, but the third part will be broken up into Part I and Part II to drag things out and to maximize profits. April 1941, London, UK. Part I - Boyhood, but not as good as the movie. Verification, which was extre...
