New Lync Phone Edition (LPE) firmware has been released for all phones. Keeping the phones up-to-date with current firmware is imperative – too often I run into Lync certificate updates where the phones do not have a current root certificate for newly issued public certs and everything comes to a screeching halt. As a side, my basic work around for this is to setup an SE server with an internally accessible CA (read http is in the CRL and AIA), update it to the latest firmware, and then use on the phone on production. A pain, yes, but sometimes needed even if you are diligent as it is not uncommon to receive new phones with old firmware.

Microsoft has released updates for Lync Server 2013 and Lync Server 2010 on time for their quarterly release cadence. The updates are bug fixes to the product and not introducing new features (none of the 2013 databases are updated in this release). If this CU is being applied to RTM, then follow the instructions here to update or check your version level using Doug Deitterick’s blog post.
In addition to the server patches, the Debugging Tools and Resource Kit has been updated. Unfortunately the updates are actually full installs so you will need to uninstall any previous versions before the apps are “updated”. The good news is the Debugging Tools contain the correct updated TMX file from the January 2014 CU so there is no need to manually replace it with the locally installed copy.
Finally, Lync Edition phones have been update which include the entire line of Aastra, HP, and Polycom phones. Updating them is the same method it has been so no news there.
