Skype for Business (formerly called Lync) is a helpful tool for enabling seamless communication among an organization. As an admin, preventable downtime is simply unacceptable, especially with mission-critical technology like Skype for Business.

However, because Skype for Business is often rolled out in phases, the certificates needed for it to remain operational will have varying expiration dates, which can become difficult to manage between routine maintenance. Even allowing an expired certificate to persist one minute can cause front-end servers to go down - meaning users can’t connect to the server, receive messages or make video calls.

In this scenario, watch how Uniscope - ENow’s monitoring and reporting solution for Skype for Business - quickly and easily helps you identify expired certificates and avoid costly downtime.
