Overview of this book

We start with a set of recipes on core PowerShell concepts. This will provide you with a foundation for the examples in the book. Next, you'll see how to implement some of the common exchange management shell tasks, so you can effectively write scripts with this latest release. You will then learn to manage Exchange recipients, automate recipient-related tasks in your environment, manage mailboxes, and understand distribution group management within the Exchange Management Shell. Moving on, we'll work through several scenarios where PowerShell scripting can be used to increase your efficiency when managing databases, which are the most critical resources in your Exchange environment. Towards the end, you'll discover how to achieve Exchange High Availability and how to secure your environment, monitor the health of Exchange, and integrate Exchange with Office Online Server, Skype for Business Server, and Exchange Online (Office 365). By the end of the book, you will be able to perform administrative tasks efficiently.

Integrating Skype for Business with Outlook on the web

If you are using Outlook.com as your private e-mail provider, you've probably noticed that the consumer version of Skype is integrated in the mail functionality nowadays. A similar functionality can also be achieved with Exchange 2016 and Skype for Business 2015 instead of the consumer version of Skype we use Skype for Business.

A scenario when this is ideal would be if there are users that might not have the rich Skype for Business client installed or available for some reason; they can then simply go to the webmail and utilize the instant messaging functionality there.

In this recipe, we will take a look at how this can be configured and validated.
