Skype Room Systems v2 - first impressions
So we just installed a Skype Room Systems v2 (Logitech Group) in our largest conference room. Here are our first impressions when it comes to the software. We have Exchange 2016 on-premise and SfB On...

Jan 26, 2017Thanks for the feedback! All very good points. We are working on an update coming soon that will address some of the issues you point out:
- Removing Surface Pro 4 Front/Rear cameras (after this change, most deployments will only have 1 camera so device selection will not be necessary)
- The settings page will allow admins to configure (1) Speaker and Mic for Conferencing and (2) Speaker for HDMI ingest
- Regularly logging Skype health data (ie. app is running, signed in, front of room screen plugged in, etc) to an Event Log for OMS (or any other service) to pickup and raise alerts

Hello David!
I can see that SRS already got updated to version 3.0.6.0 and we still do not have installation package even for v3.0.0.0.
It is hard to implement this solution in Enterprise. We are going to deploy the solution in 600 rooms. We would not like to have Windows Store enabled for updates.
Also, when I try to create a reference Image I can see that SRS disappears after generalizing Image.
Could you please set some expectations regarding installation package readiness and how to plan supportability in enterprise without Windows Store enabled?
Thank you!

Hello Roman,
I fully agreed about the need to have a package and a more integrated entreprise solution. I would like the Windows updates without having impact on the SRS2 application and the MSI package available to redeploy anytime instead of a hving to go to the MS store app to get the latest version.
For a masse deployment of 600 rooms you can't afford to restage even 20% of your SRS2 if you get a wrong windows update or a need to update to the latest version due to a bug of federated contacts.
I really appreciate the schedule of updates for the support of the SRS2 but this needs to be stabilized, communication about the roadmap, and support .

Hope that changes soon...Yes. In the meanwhile - turn OFF automatic updates or your on-screen-keyboard will stop working.

Surface Hub is managed via MDM. I suggest doing the same with this tech. Is that possible?
