Skype for Business Server 2015 new cmdlets

Lync, Skype for Business

, , ,

I’ve decided to go ahead and compare between the existing PowerShell cmdlets index exist for Lync Server 2013 and the new index published for Skype for Business Server 2015.

This revealed a few new cmdlets which are pretty cool, especially around the AddressBookNormalization, Call-Via-Work, VIS and Failover/Failback scenarios as you can see below.
