July 2018 CU for Skype for Business Server 2015 with big improvements

Recently, applied July 2018 cumulative updates for SfB 2015 Pool, which has many improvements and fixes. It did work well so thought to share.

One of the major improvements is this update enables Location-Based Routing to support the Skype for Business mobile clients. which is very helpful for countries where location-based routing enabled like India.

Another big improvement and my favorite is VBSS support for Mac, Microsoft Video-based Screen Sharing (VbSS) is now supported by Skype for Business on Mac users for meetings that are hosted on Skype for Business Server 2015. VBSS is more reliable and faster than the traditional (RDP) screen-sharing.
