Hi Everyone, We're having trouble dialling 101 (The UK police non emergency number) 999 and 112 normalise fine and dial straight out. I'll attach a screenshot of my normalisation rules, which to me look like they should work. Is there something else i need to configure except for the dial plan? If anyone has experience with this it would be much appreciated. Cheers

Been asked to integrate an IM system, since we have 365 i'm gonna do skype but can anyone tell me how I can accomplish the following via GPO 1) Not require the user to enter their organisation email upon first use - I was hoping for a GPO setting setting where I can add %username% for this tag 2) Force skype to start up on login and minimize it to the system tray - otherwise its just going to annoy people Everything else is setup, and installed i've downloaded GPO skype for business 2015 but these option aren't in

Hi just wondered if anyone else has had this wonderful issue. So you open Skype sign in and BANG Internet Explorer continuously tries to open Facebook until you quit Skype. Thought it may be a account issue but have now tried 4 accounts. Any suggestions or similar experiences. Cheers:confused:

Hi, After much surfing on the interwebs for an hint or even indication that someone had tried something similar I've decided to post my query here. Ok so here it is... I need a program very similar to Skype that is capable of sending and receiving video calls as well as voice calls and text; And also is able to send and receive files and that also offers Screen Sharing and Remote Desktop control. Has anyone heard of anything that can do this? P.S. I would just use Skype but it does not offer Remote Desktop control as a feature yet.

We have a full Smoothie box and are suffering from a handful of Mac users getting through with Skype. It seems that no matter what we do (minimum of ports open, skype.com blocked in Guardian), Skype gets through and hogs bandwidth. Is there anything we can do, or is a Skype-specific block coming (similar to the Block Kazaa etc. facility)?

WARNING - Skype for Business Server 2015 has a normalization/matching bug - problem for those with Exchange Auto Attendants This is a known issue that is being worked on by MS, fix is expected in q3 2015. Post with updates on this issue is here Original post is below Hi All, I have just upgraded Lync server 2013 to Skype for Business 2015 and now when trying to dial response groups through my UM auto attendant they fail with "The call cannot be transferred, returning to the main menu... The call cannot be transferred, returning to the main menu" and then the phone call cuts out. Calls to the response groups directly from an internal phone work fine, and so does dialling an individual users extension. It's just when trying to call from outside to a response group. Anybody got any ideas? (I'm going to update exchange to CU8 tonight as we are on an older rollup and hope that it helps) Many thanks, Seb EDIT: It seems like it's not able to recognise the extension, if i dial an extension that i know doesnt exist (like 9999) i get the same error in the logs. If i dial 5052 i get straight through to a person, but if i dial 5050 which is set up as a response group it fails. EDIT 2: I have checked that the cert assigned to UM and UMCallRouter has the correct subject name. I have also checked that refer support is set to none.
