Customers like to know what the can save by using LYNC / Unified Communication.

ROI (Return of Investment): http://www.slideshare.net/thomaspoett/lync-roi-study

Microsoft released a Study from Forrest, but it's quite a number of pages and it should be better understandable.

Hi all, (This is an updated version 2.2: 09 .07.201 5 ) This blog entry is valid for Lync 2010, Lync 2013 and Skype for Business Server. Generally, I'll write a new blog article, since the conversion history over multiple device and other service have change with Skype for Business 2015 Server. Once this written, I post the link here. there is always confusion in how Lync is crawling Exchange Web Services (EWS).

Very often you find in Lync/ Exchange deployments an issue, where the Lync configuration show up with empty: EWS Internal URL EWS External URL and EWS Information = EWS not deployed Therefor Exchange Web Service are not connected deployed and several Lync Integration Features are not working, e.g. Presence Information based on your Outlook Calendar.

Coming back to the most common question about certificates in Skype for Business and Lync Server. Can we use Wildcard Certificates in Skype for Business or Lync Server? Simple answer is: YESNO First lets have a look into a certificate: A Certificate has a Common Name (CN) and Subject Alternative Names (SAN) A classic wildcard certificate is a certificate where the CN look like: CN=*.domain.com In Skype for Business the main reason for certificate use is TLS/MTLS data encryption and the other point it the server authentication/ validation. Skype for Business is using the Common Name CN for authentication/ validation trusts. Only if a server with in the Topology or for Federation purposes presents a valid certificate with its matching Common Name (CN) the entire traffic can be used with TLS/MTLS. Therefor we understand a CN identifier as FQDN of the Server or the Pool is RECOMMENDED! A valid SAN Wildcard certificate could look like this: CN   = POOL01.DOMAIN.COM
