We are pleased to introduce the October Service Update for Microsoft Online Services, which includes several new features and enhancements designed to improve the service experience for both administrators and users. The Service Update is currently being deployed into production data centers.

Many of these service enhancements are the result of customer and partner feedback. We are pleased to deliver this Service Update in our effort to continually improve your experience with Microsoft Online Services.

Upgrades and Enhancements
The following features and capabilities are included in the October Service Update:

Bulk Activation of Users
PowerShell commandlets will be added to streamline the activation process, enabling administrators to easily automate the activation of a set of users. Most commonly, these commandlets will be used to activate a set of users that have been migrated from an Active Directory forest to Microsoft Online Services via the Directory Synchronization Tool. Previously, administrators were required to activate users one-by-one with the User Administration tools in the Microsoft Online Services Administration Center.

Sunnyvale, Calif., March 31, 2008 – VoSKY, the market leader in developing Skype for business solutions, announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation’s (TMC®) INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine (www.itmag.com) has named VoSKY Exchange Pro VIS8/VIO8 PBX-to-Skype Application Gateways as a recipient of its 2007 Product of the Year Award.

The VoSKY Exchange Pro family of Skype-certified application gateways allows businesses to take advantage of Skype, the world’s largest VoIP network, without replacing their existing network infrastructure. With VoSKY Exchange Pro, companies can make free Skype-to-Skype calls between company offices located anywhere in the world, free inbound calls to the PBX from remote and mobile Skype users, and inexpensive SkypeOUT rates for long-distance and international calls.

The plug-and-play appliance fully integrates Skype with a company’s TDM or IP PBX phone system, so employees can make and receive Skype calls from their regular office phone – no Skype software, computers, or headsets are required. Additionally, VoSKY Exchange centralizes Skype provisioning and management across the enterprise to significantly reduce the administrative complexities once associated with deploying Skype in the enterprise.

“VoSKY has proven they are committed to quality and excellence while addressing the real needs in the marketplace. INTERNET TELEPHONY is pleased to grant a 2007 Product of the Year Award to the VoSKY Exchange Pro,” said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. “We’re proud to honor their hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative solutions from VoSKY in the future.”
