The Lync Core Services Layer

Using the tests mapped to this layer, administrators can proactively detect the following:

• Capture failed messages and when failures occurred – during message validation? in the MSMQ queue? or when written to the database?
• Measure the quality of the A/V conference experience with the Skype for Business server;
• Understand how well the server processes call park requests and report slowdowns;
• Know how many users/clients are currently connected to the server, and thus gauge the current load on the server;
• Identify dropped conference activities and unfinished tasks
• Know how many messgaes were dropped from the message queue and how many actually failed to be written to the database;
