Microsoft On-Premise Diagnostics (OPD) tool for Skype for Business Server

Microsoft has announced a new On-Premise Diagnostics (OPD) tool for Skype for Business Server.

OPD is a PowerShell based collection of diagnostic scenarios, analyzers, rules and insights for diagnosing common issues in Skype for Business 2015 and 2019 on-premises and hybrid environments.

Once installed you run it in PowerShell and are prompted to pick a technical area.

Contact List	User contact list is not available
Federation	Federation is not working (On-Premises deployment) Federation is not working (Hybrid deployment)
Hybrid	IM and Presence problems between on-premise and online users

Then you are presented with a list of diagnostic scenarios. E.g. this is for the Federation area

Then you run a scenario
