Microsoft has finally released Skype for Business Server 2015, the successor to Lync Server 2013, with a host of new features and capabilities that will take Unified Communications to the next level for the millions of users already using Lync today. Having just attended Ignite2015 in Chicago 2 weeks ago, I am excited to be writing a series of blog articles on Skype4B over the coming months. Lets begin with this first one - Upgrading Lync Server 2013 to Skype for Business Server 2015 Standard Edition. This article will cover the pre-requisites, supported upgrade scenarios, as well as walking through the steps required to do an in-place upgrade of Lync Server 2013 standard edition server to Skype for Business Server 2015. |
