Issue: Operating System GlobalFlag value has been set to a value other than 0 or null.

Description of the Issue

The Office 365 Best Practices Analyzer tool for Lync Server reads the following registry entry to determine the value for the GlobalFlag entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

If the analyzer finds the value for the GlobalFlag to be present and configured with any value other than 0 or null, a warning is displayed.

The GlobalFlag registry value setting is a bitmask that determines what debugging options have been enabled for the operating system. Unless you are actively engaged in debugging or tracing a problem with the help of Microsoft Product Support Services, it is recommended that you set the GlobalFlag value to 0 at all times.

The GlobalFlag registry value is set to 0 by default. If this value has been altered from the default value of 0, you can use the Gflags tool to set the value. Alternatively, you can manually set the value to 0 by using a registry editor. Both procedures are described in this topic.

Issue Resolution

To resolve this issue, set the value for the GlobalFlag to 0 or null using one of the following procedures.
