I am pleased to announce that two new Lync 2013 Jump Start sessions have been announced...and once again I will be presenting in both. The first JumpStart, titledCore Solutions of Microsoft Lync Server 2013 Jump Start will be held live on May 30th and 31st starting at 9:00am PST. Just as I presented last time with Aaron Steele for the first series once again he will be my co-presenter for the first session. The first Lync 2013 Jump Start series will present information to assist you in passing the Microsoft Exam 70-336.
It is EXTREMLEY IMPORTANT to note that the series requires/expects you to have a solid understanding and foundation of Lync 2010 as much of the content will reference the previous version and compare the old to the new.
The second JumpStart, titled Enterprise Voice & Online Services with Microsoft Lync Server 2013 Jump Start will be held live on June 13th and 14th, again at 9:00am PST. Once again, the second series will be co-presented with Rui Maximo as I did in 2010. The second Lync 2013 Jump Start series will present information to assist you in passing the Microsoft Exam 70-337.
Registration for the first session can be found at http://aka.ms/Lync336. The second session is not yet available for registration but will be coming soon tohttp://aka.ms/Lync337.
I look forward to sharing important Lync information and discussing my hair once again. Do not miss out on this live session - register today!
Yesterday Microsoft released CU April 2013 for Microsoft Lync Server 2013. The update only lists a big fix for Live Meeting audio issues so I would not consider a must-have (it is also an update by PSS request). Since February just came out it may be a hard justification to shut down and install a new update but the info is included below. This is the first CU for Lync Server that does not include the database upgrade requirements.
