Email OTP Verification coming to Teams Meetings

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 .

Restore Lync User Data demo

I have created a video, showing how you may restore Lync User data with a backup created with the Lync 2013 backup script v3.5

The video is less than 2 minutes long, and shows a restore of my lab in real time. It has no sound, but the CC will explain what's going on.



The important giveaways from this movie should be:
  • Permissions required to run Lync commands are the same as previous demos. 
  • I have chosen to do an update rather than a full import
  • Service can be running during an import
  • User should log out and back in after the update is complete
As always, you can find the script right here.
