Decoding Lync’s Client-Side Error Messages

No comments January 9th, 2012

Some of Lync’s Client-side error messages don’t really explain the reason for the failure. Luckily my friend Greig Sheridan has started to compile a very handy list of these on his blog.

If you ever spend time troubleshooting Lync client side error messages, I would definitely recommend that you check it out. Here’s a link:

Microsoft Online Services Internet Connection Performance Test

No comments November 2nd, 2011

This handy little tool has been around for some time now but I’ve found that it does not seem to be very well known so I thought I would write up a quick post.

This performance tool tests your Internet connection to a Microsoft Online Services data center and measures the response times, bandwidth, and overall connection quality. The results can help you evaluate your network configuration for potential use with Microsoft Online Services.

Exchange 2010 remote mailbox move to Office 365 “Microsoft Exchange Critical Error”

No comments August 25th, 2011

I’ve been having a problem with remote mailbox moves to Office 365. The move completes successfully and everything works ok, but it always generates the following error:

“Could not load type ‘Microsoft.Exchange.MailboxReplicationService.RequestPriority’…”

I’ve seen this mentioned a few times on the Office 365 community forums and some of my colleagues are also seeing this. The good news is that after installing Update Rollup 5 for Exchange 2010 SP1 this error no longer appears.
