Email OTP Verification coming to Teams Meetings

on
Microsoft introducing a new security feature in Teams that will enable enforcements of Email OTP verification for meetings. This new policy, "Anonymous users can join a meeting after verifying," will be available in the Teams Admin Center for all organizations. This feature is available only for meetings created by organizers with a Teams Premium license. The feature is in public preview, but should be rolling out in GA any time soon. The update will roll out automatically. Admins should consider to update the new meeting policy setting from “By e-mail code” to “No” by mid-February if they wish to continue blocking all unverified users (If "No" is the current setting). The policy is described in this article .

Searching for that LineURI - Again

on
This is a script I have not used for a while, and when I needed it recently I discovered it would not run properly on a Lync 2013 server. I decided to rebuild the script to adapt to Powershell v3 and Lync 2013.

It is quite simple. use the script to search for a part of a complete LineURI and see where the pattern is in use. The longer the pattern you use in your search, the more exact is the result.

As an update, the script has been signed to be run on any system, and a more appropriate snippet with explanation has been added. And again, this has been added to the Technet Gallery. http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Search-for-that-LineURI-814ac281

The script has not been tested on large deployments, so feedback and bug reports are really appreciated.
