Thank you for using MOSDAL. Please open the log files folder and transmit the logs file to your Microsoft Support Engineer. Click Close MOSDAL to open the log file location.
The Log file location is my documents MOSDAL folder
Since I chose the default settings and not to authenticate MOSDAL did not collect any ADFS information
However, I noticed a lot of information in the Communicator folder so I took a look at the Office Communicator File Versions.txt file and found I have different version of communicator installed.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Lync\communicator.exe file version is 4.0.7577.314
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Lync\ocoffice.dll file version is 4.0.7577.0
I also, notice information in the ,net folder that listed the .Net Framework Versions Installed on this system:
.NET Framework v1.0.3705 is NOT installed.
.NET Framework v1.1.4322 is NOT installed.
.NET Framework v2.0.50727 is installed.
.NET Framework v3.0 is installed.
.NET Framework v3.5 is installed.
I am going to stop here and leave the rest for part 2. t this point I love the tool it is easy to use and even with the basic options collects so much information on your environment that I recommend running it after you migrate or just start using Office 365. MOSDAL reminds me of SPSReports for SharePoint and the MPSReports MCS to uses in the field. MOSDAL does a good job of collecting a wealth of information and whether you are working with Premier Support or supporting your self the information is invaluable and collected in one place in a readable format.
Thank you, Microsoft and the Office365 Team for providing us another tool to resolve issues in our environment specifically for folks that have deployed Office 365.
