How to enable Lync audio within a Remote Desktop session
By Tristan Watkins On January 28, 2013 · 3 Comments · In Client applications, Networking, Unified Communications
I’ve been working from home a bit more lately, and with that, I’ve been fine-tuning how I work. For instance, I’ve been using the “Use all my monitors” setting in order to stretch my remote desktop session across two screens.

By Tristan Watkins On October 12, 2011 · 3 Comments · In Networking, Office 365 Grid, Unified Communications
Following my last post on Lync, Strings and Cans I need to report further detail on my test findings, wherein I identified that some Lync Online traffic would route peer-to-peer.

Lync, Strings and Cans
By Tristan Watkins On July 21, 2011 · 1 Comment · In Client applications, Networking, Office 365 Grid, Unified Communications

In the last couple of weeks I’ve received notification of two important updates regarding Amazon Web Services.

If you’re interested in this broader topic, I’ve covered it in detail [...]

By Tristan Watkins On November 3, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Networking, Performance, SharePoint, Windows
A couple of weeks ago I posted information about a Fix For Bit Rate Throttling W3WP Crashes in SharePoint 2010. A few hours ago, Jack Freelander from IIS.NET announced that IIS Media Services 4.0 has been released, [...]
Over the Summer, we dove deep in to SharePoint 2010 for WCM when we re-launched our corporate website. As I mentioned the other day, I spent a decent amount of time looking at caching and some of the new supporting technologies, like
