This week we had a very good Office 365 International User Group meeting. Rene Modery (@Modery) and Matthew Hughes (@Mattmoo2) gave a recap of the Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2012 in Las Vegas.

In my previous blog post, I described the various preset scenarios and how to determine which ones contain our favorite “SIP Stack” provider =) Now the next step is to turn it on and then analyze the output.
