Get reports on your Skype for Business Server using Exchange Reporter Plus

Windows-based organizations usually depend on Skype for Business Server (formerly Lync) for communication and collaboration. While Skype for Business lets you communicate with your employees and partners all over the world, managing Skype servers can be a bit difficult. To get reports on your Skype for Business environment, you have to use the native Lync Sever Control Panel or PowerShell.
