Chicago Event
As usual I will be hosting the Chicago event, but in a different location. This will be the first event hosted in the suburban Microsoft office and depending on the turn-out we may look into rotating the event location between downtown and suburban locations each quarter, or possibly even hosting two Chicago events per quarter.
Food will be ready at 5:30 so come early if you can to spend time socializing with the group before the presentations begin at 6:00.

Hi Jeff hope you are going well,
I’m need for your help, I have configure a polycom hdx8000 for S4B, but the problem that I had it’s on the polycom calendar when I try to see a meeting I can’t found the botton “join now”, to access to the meeting from the polycom. can you plz help for this issue.
many thanks
Mohamed, the HDX series is not supported with Skype for Business server or Skype Meeting, only with Lync 2010/2013 server platforms.
I need help, you have the best blogs on the net in regards to SFB and Lync13
I have a LYNC13 environment working with FE and Edge servers, federation, presence, screen sharing, audio/video
I have a new SFB FE server, configured to use existing Lync13 Edge server
I am able to receive IM from federated parties, but I cannot send IM or see presence of federated parties.
I believe I have gone through all steps required, but still just not working
I have details and logs in a forum thread, but are you able to offer any advice or guidance please?

Brad, one-way federated presence/IM issues are typically either related to the configuration (something missing on one side or the other) or a firewall somewhere in between limiting communications in one direction.
