Skype for Business Server patching
Simplified workflow leverages Windows Fabric v2 APIs
4 steps:
Invoke-CsComputerFailOver
Checks for availability of sufficient number of servers
Waits for replica stability across the pool
Initiate deactivation of the node; wait for
success/failure from windows fabric
Stops services after successfully deactivating the node
Invoke-CsComputerFailBack
Start services if not already started
Activate node—windows fabric will now
consider this server for replica placement
