Upgrading Polycom CX700 Phone within a Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Environment

When looking through a NetMon trace from an upgrade to 1.0.522.101, you may notice that the DNS query for ucupdates-r2.<DHCPDomain> does not occur until the CPE.NBT file had already started streaming to the OCPE device. This happens when you sign into the phone prior to the upgrade starting; if you do not sign in, the DNS query would have occurred at the beginning of the trace.
