About Unified Communications Diagnostics 8.6.3

Unified Communications Diagnostics helps administrators detect problems in their messaging environment, accurately locate the root cause, and resolve the problems from a single, easy-to-use interface. It provides a robust and informed troubleshooting solution for Exchange, BlackBerry, Lync, and Skype for Business.

From the Management Console, you can run health tests to verify server functionality. You can also launch the Diagnostic Console for an individual server which shows, in real-time, the actual flow of data within individual servers at increasingly granular levels of detail. This level of detail allows you to pinpoint problems and take preventative action. UC Diagnostics supports the following platforms:

•
Exchange 2007/2010/2013/2016/2019
•
BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express 4.1.2 to 5.0.4 (including 5.0.4 MR4) for Microsoft Exchange
•
Office Communications Server 2007 and 2007 R2
•
Lync Server 2010, Lync Server 2013, and Skype for Business 2015
•
Office 365 (Exchange Online and Skype for Business Online)

UC Diagnostics 8.6.3 is a minor release, with new features and functionality. See New features and Known issues.

For upgrade scenarios, the existing health tests will run using basic authentication mode until you reconfigure them.
