The eventlog contained lots of event 1001 “Information”(Why not error !!!!!) that RTCHOST.EXE crashed. Probably failed installation of KB2982385.

Provisioning Lync federation with Skype.
If you want your Lync users to be able to federate with Microsoft and Skype you will need to go to https://pic.lync.com and request a new service. Login with the live account that has permissions to access your Microsoft Licenses through the Microsoft licensing portal.
Enter your Licensing type and License Agreement number.
Add you Lync Edge serve Access name ( sip.yourdomain.com) and all domains that are handled by this edge server (yourdomain1.com … yourdomain9.com).
Wait for the emails from LCSprovisioningsupport, one when your request are entered and one when provisioning has been completed. Usually no more than 2-3 hours.
Also remember to enable federation with messenger/skype in the Lync Control Panel og Lync Management Shell.

msRTCSIP-GroupingID editor.
This is my msRTCSIP-GroupingID editor. I use it to segregate addresslists in Lync solutions. It takes a commaseparated text file containing Company name and GUID for the addresslist assigned to this Company (filename : groupingids.txt) sample:
Name,Value
CompanyA,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000010
CompanyB,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000011
CompanyC,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000012
I have placed this file on the Lync share for my own convenience. Powershell script Groupingeditor.ps1 loads these values to a listbox. It let you search for users and then apply the groupingID to the selected users.
Next Version will contain possibillities to select entire OU’s and list users containing a spesific GroupingID.
