2. Now validates if UserHighConnectionFlag is specified, and does not exceed MaxEndPointsPerUser

v2.3 – 08-01-2013

1. intro code for script update check
2. better pool version detection. When using the -Pool option, you no longer need to specify -Is2013 if it’s a 2013 pool
3. Added code to restart script in an elevated session if the current session isn’t elevated (previously the script just threw an error and exited)

v2.2 – 05-10-2013

1. Added support for Lync Server 2013 by using the -Is2013 switch. If I can find a better way of automatically detecting the version, I’ll incorporate that in a later build.
2. Some code optimization
3. Bug fix for an issue where the names of servers in a pool wouldn’t display if the script was run in PowerShell v3.

v2.1 – 12-13-2012

1. Minor formatting tweaks for better handling long client names, such as the Lync RT client.
2. Minor bug fixes

v2.0 – 10.16.2012

1. Added -IncludeHighUsers option. Similar to -IncludeUsers, but only shows those users who meet the UserHighConnectionFlag value (shown in white), or exceeds it (shown in red).
2. Added -ShowTotal option. When finished, shows statistics for the org, including total number of Lync enabled users, the total number of voice enabled users, and the percentage of enabled users that are currently connected.
3. Updated the code the assembles FQDNs when just a pool or server netbios name are specified.
4. If -SipAddress option is used, additional information showing the preferred connection order for the user is now also included. This adds the functionality of one liners: Finding out which Lync pool servers a user is associated with, and the preferred connection order.

v1.9 – 09-21-2012

1. Finally resolved the issue where some front end servers would have a different number for PrimaryRegistrarClusterId in SQL Express than others, causing some servers to not return data (and not throw an error). Special thanks to Dave Howe @ Microsoft for helping me identify a work around, and also to Bart, a SQL Engineer at a client site who helped me tweak the related SQL query.
2. A little code optimization
3. -Server option added that now allows you to target a specific server instead of an entire pool.
4. This version is code signed. You no longer are required to have a PowerShell Execution Policy of unrestricted or RemoteSigned. However, the script cannot be edited at all, or the code signature breaks.
5. -SipAddr now supports specifying just the left part of the SIP address, but only in organizations with ONE SIP domain. For example, -SipAddr bill.gates instead of -SipAddr bill.gates@microsoft.com.
6. -Server supports specifying the netbios domain. The script will “guess” at the FQDN by using the domain name of the machine the script is running on and appending it to the netbios name.

v1.8 – 09-14-2012

1. Tons of formatting changes, mostly subtle
   1. Server names in the pool list are sorted
   2. Server names in the ‘Frontend Server’ list are now sorted
   3. Connections are now sorted by client
2. Added -ShowFullClient switch to show extended client info.
3. If -pool is not specified, and only one registrar pool exists, the script will automatically use that pool.
4. Some additional verbose output added for troubleshooting
