I will admit I missed this year’s Christmas present from Microsoft to those die-hards still running an on-premises installation of Skype for Business 2019, but here it is. This update (7.0.2046.545) is the only one we’ve seen in more than twelve months, replacing October 2023’s Security Update to 7.0.2046.530.
What’s Fixed?
I can only find five named fixes:
“500: Unable to process request” error and hybrid configuration fails
Can’t modify Skype account in Skype for Business Server 2019 through MACP
Skype for Business Server 2019 admin center loads slowly
Q&A doesn’t work in Skype for Business Server 2019
Can’t sign in to Skype for Business Server with FIPS enabled
What’s New?
Nothing noted. There are no new cmdlets in the SfB PowerShell module.
What’s Changed?
Nothing noted.
Known Issues
Nothing noted.
Download
Note that the download link also has a “PersistentChatUpdateInstaller.exe”, which might also be relevant.
Download the installer from here
Here’s the kb article and the install procedure
Don’t forget to run bootstrapper, as that’s when the new EMS is installed. You’ll usually find bootstrapper in C:\Program Files\Skype for Business Server 2019\Deployment\.
Installation
Here’s the “before” view of it going on to my Lab’s Standard Edition Front-End:
Reboot?
The installer didn’t prompt me to reboot, but I always like to give it one for good measure.
