Understanding Dial-In Conferencing with Office 365
I just published my first technet wiki…
Understanding Dial-In Conferencing with Office 365
I would say as a MSFT employee but I never posted one prior to joining Microsoft (although I encourage you to participate in the wiki). The topic is on dial-in conferencing in Office 365. For those of you that are not familiar with what the Dial-In Conferencing feature entails, it allows Lync Online tenants to integrate with third party dial-in conferencing providers. This enables meetings that are scheduled inside of Lync Online to have a dial-in number that people on a PSTN line can dial into. It also allows the meeting organizer or authenticated user to dial-out from the meeting to a PSTN line. This is an important aspect of using Lync Online as a primary means for meeting organization and participation as so many meetings require people to dial in from PSTN lines instead of use only Lync or SIP devices.
Don’t forget… The User Group Meeting is tomorrow!
Calendar Sharing Matrix
With Exchange Online and Exchange On-Prem both penetrating the marketplace more equally, I see more requests for information about how to make the two integrate or work together between companies and in M&A situations. Luckily the Exchange team is on top of it as usual and have put together a nice matrix that covers all of the scenarios… Here is a sample screen shot, the full document goes into more detail – Download the EHLO Exchange Calendar Sharing Matrix!
Thanks to Jesper Osgaard for passing the link along.

Don’t fret regarding those last two, training people to use new modes of communication is the norm. In fact, when the telephone was introduced ATT had to undertake a HUGE training excercise as evidenced by this video…

Also good to note, RIM is finally supporting o365!!
Office 365 Training
I promised to blog here for all things UC – so here is the first!! I have a bunch of misc Exchange stuff to blog about, but as Chris and I are planning the next UC meeting about Exchange SP2 & cloud based UC, I thought I would post some Office365 training that I recently attended. It is online, so everyone can attend. It is put on by the TechNet Edge team and is pretty good. It was over three days (so a lot of material) and covers most of the important stuff for Office365! All the links are below, if you only have a limited amount of time, I recommend deploying clients, directory synchronization, hybrid options, and Lync Online Overview.
Enjoy!!
