Lync 2013: Polycom Firmware Testing

Strange but interesting one for today – testing out the new Polycom CX revision for roll-out on a customers site but would only apply if the scope was set to Site and not Global.

I hunted through the IIS and RequestHandlerLogs to try trace when and where it was getting it’s information from, a snippet below:

So make sure you check on both scopes if you start having issues, current versions below of the setup I was on:
