Client Version Policy: Upgrading from OCS R2 Phone Edition to Lync 2013

Hey, everyone!
Looking at the settings in Lync Control Panel, the default OCPhone Client Version Policy is set to block anything older than 3.5.6907.*.
Now, I have two older Polycom CX700's that are running. In order for them to receive updates from Lync Server, do I need to temporarily remove that policy? I know I need to upgrade them to 3.5.6907.* first, so I guess my question is this: is the Client Version
Policy, just for signing in or does it also pertain to which devices are allowed to get update information?
Thanks so much.
-Eric

The client policy should only prevent your phones from signing in. Your phones should update fine being blocked.
I've updated CX700's out of the box (with ancient OCS 2007R2 firmware on them) using Lync 2013 and have not had to modify the Client Version policy.
Edit: I will add that I needed to install a specific couple interim versions of the firmware before I could upgrade to the latest (OCS 2007 R2 Phone Edition 3.5.6907.222 and then Lync 2010 Phone Edition Feb 2012 4.0.7577.4066) - I blogged about it here: http://www.lynced.com.au/2013/08/getting-that-out-of-box-cx700-from-ocs.html

  • Search Service Application problems after upgrading from Foundation to Enterprise edition of SharePoint 2013

    Hi all. I have been searching for days for a solution to a problem I am having with SP2013 Enterprise edition.
    We recently upgraded from SP2013 Foundation to SP2013 Enterprise. After the upgrade, the search services are no longer working and we are receiving many application log entries indicating the following:
    Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (ea2019ef-bb9e-4efe-85ee-5d2307406f31).
    Reason: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
    Technical Support Details:

       at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance.Synchronize()
       at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ApplicationServerJob.ProvisionLocalSharedServiceInstances(Boolean isAdministrationServiceJob)
    as well as:
    Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (ea2019ef-bb9e-4efe-85ee-5d2307406f31).
    Reason: The object you are trying to create already exists. Try again using a different name.

       at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance.Synchronize()
       at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ApplicationServerJob.ProvisionLocalSharedServiceInstances(Boolean isAdministrationServiceJob)
    I have tried to remove the search service application and recreate it, and even though the SharePoint Central Administration states that it was created successfully, I am still getting the same errors in the log. If I go to the Search Service Application
    Search Administration page, the "System Status" shows the following message:
    The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '0359af35-0982-4ede-8838-b1d390e915bf' in search application 'Search Service Application' is in a good state and
    try again
    Additionally, under the "Search Application Topology" section, it states "Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running" which I assume is normal if the admin is not
    running.
    Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem? 
    Thanks!

    Hi Joaquin,
    According to your description, the error occurred when you re-created the Search Service Application.
    Based on the error message, I recommend to verify the things below:
       1. Check if the association between the Search Service Application proxy and the web application is configured.
    Please go to Central Administration > Application Management > Configured service application associations > Click Default to see if the Search Service application is checked.
       2. Change the app pool for the Search Service Application to SharePoint Web Services Default in the properties of the Search Service Application.
    Please go to Central Administration > Application Management > Manage service applications > Highlight the Search Service Application > Click Properties in the ribbon > Change
    the two app pool to SharePoint Web Services Default: App Pool For Search Admin Web Service and Application Pool for Search Query and Site Settings Web Service.
        3. Run PS command to check if the search admin timer job is enabled: Get-SPTimerJob
    job-application-server-admin-service | fl. If it is not enabled, use PS command to enabled it and then reset Internet Information Services: Enable-SPTimerJob job-application-server-admin-service.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

    Phone number of the device is assigned by the carrier.
    Ask the carrier.

  • Why won't Apple allow Verizon to let me upgrade from an Android phone to an iPhone 5 early at the reduced price?

    Why won't Apple allow Verizon to let me upgrade from an Android phone to an iPhone 5 early at the reduced price?

    Here's one of my responses from Verizon:
    Dear Kevin,
    Good Afternoon; I know how frustrating it is to want a new phone, and be told that you are not eligible to upgrade early. My name is Shane, and I will be assisting you today regarding your most recent email.
    I am sorry to say that it is not possible for us to do the upgrade. We most certainly don’t want to lose a valued customer, but we can’t break our contract with Apple. If we did this for you, we would have to do it for everyone. If we did this for everyone we would risk losing our contract with Apple, and not be able to sell iPhones at all. I understand it is a savings to cancel your contract with us, and move to another provider we certainly don’t want you to do that, but that is an option for you.
    Kevin, I am sorry that we were not able to give you the resolution you were wanting. I do appreciate you being a valued Verizon Wireless customer, and I hope you have a good day!
    Sincerely,
    Shane
    Verizon Wireless

  • HT4528 Is it possible to buy an iphone for yourself at the apple store when you're using an upgrade from a different phone number on your plan?

    I broke my old phone a few days ago, and my phone number doesn't have an upgrade until the summer of next year. My dad offered me his upgrade, since he doesn't need a new phone and it would save me a few hundred dollars. Is it possible for me to go into the Apple store and purchase a new iPhone when I'm using an upgrade from a different phone number? I already cleared it over with the people at Verizon, who told me I could switch the upgrade over online.

    There are 2 issues here.
    Some carriers REQUIRE a data plan in order to use an iPhone on their network. This requirement will vary from carrier to carrier. The iPhone is designed to be constantly connected. If you do not manually go in and turn off cellular data (not just 3G) The phone will attempt to connect to the Internet over the cellular data network. If you have your carrier specifically block these requests, you shouldn't be charged for them. If not, it could end up costing you lots of money you didn't expect. The other thing that will happen is things like visual voicemail will not work (if the carrier supports it to begin with) and you will get lots of messages about not being able to connect to cellular data if you're not in range of WiFi you can connect to. MMS messaging also will not work.
    The second issue surrounds the statement: "use the iphone 4 with a standard cdma phone plan".
    It is NOT possible to purchase an unlocked CDMA iPhone. ALL CDMA iPhones are locked to Verizon.

  • Outlook 2010 contacts not showing phone number in Lync 2013 client

    Hi,
    We have Lync 2013 with Exchange 2010. Recently we started upgrading Lync clients from 2010 to 2013.
    A few users started reporting that their local Outlook contacts does not show phone numbers in Lync 2013 (working with 2010)
    I have installed the august patch which should solve this issue
    981751 - Lync 2013 does not display telephone number of an Outlook 2010 contact in the contact card
    Any idea where to look next?

    Hi Tobias Borgen Nielsen,
    Lync expects all the phone numbers to be in the E.164 format, meaning they should be +1-111-11111111 etc. If they’re not like this, you will have to normalize them if you want Lync
    to publish them.

  • Upgrading from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition

    Hi
    I want to upgrade from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition. Is there any script provided by oracle which I can run on existing Oracle 10G standard edition to upgrade to enterprise edition after completing the licensing formalities or do I need to install Oracle 10g Enterprise edition from scratch and then migrate my data.
    Ramanbir S

    You will not need to perform any data migration to upgrade to EE. The diffetence between standard en enerprise editions are the features offered. When you upgrade you can use the same set of files you used to install standard edition and just add the enterprise edition features you want to use in the 'Custom' section of the Universal Installer.

  • Can I Upgrade From Regular Cell Phone to Smartphone Several Months Early?

    I have a Samsung Sway that I upgraded to last spring - in March. It's been a great phone, but I now have a full-time job where I need e-mail access and would like to upgrade to a Droid smartphone. Beyond that, my Sway has serious screen issues now where it frequently becomes a patchwork of lines and squiggles that I can't see anything through. I have a feeling it's dying.
    I'm on a Family Plan and have been for years - my mom started the contracts 7 or 8 years ago - and I'm wondering, could I get an early upgrade to a Droid? It would require me getting a different plan for the phone since it would need data etc. versus my current 1500 minutes, unlimited texts, no data plan. Would it be possible for me to upgrade for free or for a small fee?
    How do I go about upgrading even though I'm still about five or six months away from my Every Two Years upgrade? Is this even possible?

    Generally, Verizon will not change your upgrade date, even if you change your plan or add high-value features like data.  Verizon allows you to reverse these changes at any time, so they are not an effective bargaining chip.
    You should start by calling CS and asking if you are eligible for any early upgrade promotions.  These vary by region, so you may be lucky.
    If there are no promotions, you could do an alternate upgrade using the eligibility from one of the other lines on your family plan.  Basically, they upgrade and give the phone to you, then in March, you can upgrade and get them the phone they want.
    Otherwise, you will have to purchase the phone at full-price or from a non-Verizon source.
    Good luck!

  • Upgrade policy (upgrading from Panther to Leopard?)

    Hello,
    is it possible to perform a major upgrade and skip a major version (10.3 -> 10.5)? Most modern OS don't support this and I wonder whether OS X supports this.
    Please don't reply if you think it does or doesn't, I need an answer from someone's 100% sure (such as someone who upgraded from Jaguar to Tiger).
    Thanks.

    So just to be clear, if I haven't been...
    To install a new OS, you must purchase the full retail install DVD and install it. There is no way to download it like an incremental update (i.e. 10.4.9 or 10.4.10)
    There are several install options to choose from, which may provide more information for you.

  • Supported Tools version when upgrading from PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 to 9.2

    Hello,
    Our customer is on HCM 9.1 FP2 with 8.52.03 tools. Now, they would like to upgrade to HCM 9.2 and PeopleTools 8.53
    I have found the following upgrade path on Oracle Support.
    PeopleSoft Human Capital Management 9.1 to 9.2 Upgrade Home Page (Doc ID 1536201.1)
    The document gave the following path certification
    From Release
    To Release
    Microsoft SQL Server
    Oracle
    Application: 
    HCM 9.1*
    PeopleTools: 
    PeopleTools 8.4x or higher 8.4x.xx patch level
    Application: 
    HCM 9.2
    PeopleTools: 
    PeopleTools 8.53.02 or higher 8.53.xx patch level
    Certified
    Certified
    Does it mean, the template can not be used with 9.1 application on 8.5x tools?
    Will we be able to use the same Upgrade Template to upgrade from HCM 9.1/8.52.03 to HCM 9.2/8.53.xx ?
    Thanks
    Hareesh

    Yes,
    1. You perform Tools upgrade to 8.53.xx
    2. Then perform Application only upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2

  • Upgrade from OCS 2007 to OCS 2007 R2 and Lync 2013

    Hy friends!
    Help me, please!
    Scenario: Migration from OCS 2007 RTM to OCS 2007 R2
    Target: Keep user contact list (I'm talking about only OCS contact list from internal organization users, I'm not refer about external addresses)
    Question: I want to know if when I move a user from OCS 2007 RTM to OCS 2007 R2 the user contact list is also migrated?
    If Yes, can you share the Microsoft documentation that describe it?
    So, after I migrate the users to OCS 2007 R2, finally I can do a supported migration to Lync Server 2013. 
    Thanks in advance.

    If you do a side-by-side migration the contact lists (and other user data) should remain intact. If you tear down OCS2007 and then install OCS2007R2, then you will need to use dbimpexp.exe to export the contact list from OCS2007.
    Here is an overview: http://blogs.technet.com/b/ucedsg/archive/2009/02/07/how-do-i-get-from-ocs-rtm-r1-to-ocs-r2.aspx
    Also take a look at the deployment guide: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19984 specifically
    the section called "Updating from Office Communications Server 2007" which lists some potential issues.
