We are now officially into the 3rd quarter of 2014 and thus into the third round of patching. I know we did not see patches for Lync Server 2013 in the 2nd quarter, but one can assume the trend will not hold and patches will be coming soon. As a teaser Microsoft has released the Lync Phone Edition (LPE) update for Q3, their links are found below. It is always recommended to remain up-to-date with LPE patches regardless of the fixes included.
In this iteration of LPE a Daylight Savings Time (DST) issue is resolved for Egypt and Morocco…nothing exciting but keeping the phones up-to-date ensures you will not run into any patching issues with the next release. You will also notice the CX700/LG-Nortel 8540 was not included in the update cycle – does it not require the DST fix or is this simply Microsoft stating ever so gently to move off the old phones?
*UPDATE*
As noted in the comments below, the CX700 has NOT been updated since April but it is now included in the matrix below.
