Migrate Lync 2013 to new server

0
0

All,

I have found plenty of documentation on migrating Lync 2010 to 2013 but very little on going from one Lync 2013 server to another.  I am adding a second Standard Edition front end server and plan to remove its predecessor after migrating all functionality to the new machine.  Any assistance or direction would be appreciated.

Thank you.


Lync 2013 multitenant pack and lync 2010

0

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to upgrade our current Lync 2010 environment.

My question is can I install a new Lync 2013 multi tenant pack server in a current Lync 2010 environment and have them running side by side?

The 2010 servers are not multi tenant.

Thanks

lync 2013 edge with lync 2013 pool and coxiestence lync 2010 pool

0

HI,

I have lync 2013 enterprise FE pool with coexistence lync 2010 FE pool and I am using lync 2010 Edge server.

Now I want to move my lync 2010 edge server to Lync 2013 edge server with xmpp service.

I donot want to run parallel lync 2010 edge server with lync 2013 edge server because I have to deploy  same name and certificate on lync 2013 edge server.

My question :- If I use same lync 2010 edge certificate in lync 2013 edge server with xmpp service. 

 do I need add any SAN entry in edge  server Public certificate for XMPP or I can use internal CA Certificate for XMPP service on edge ?

In my lync 2010 edge certificate entries are :-

sip.xyz.com

webcon.xyz.com

Thanks,

Deepak

 

Lync 2013 streaming full hd ok, but recording very bad

0
0

Hi there.

Is there a way to set up the recording quality on Lync 2013?

We have a videomeeting with FULL HD camera on laptop and the streaming FULL HD video Works like a charm.

But if this user records the meeting into MP4 format, the quality is a disaster.

Can we somehow change that on server side (somewhere on Lync Control Panel?)

Can we somehow change it on the client side?

Would Lync2010 make better quality recording?

With best regards

Lync 2013 - Skype Connectivity - Can't connect to users

0
0

I followed the article for configuring Lync 2013 & Skype connectivity for which i got the acknowledgement email from Microsoft what the request is processed.

I have:

*Enabled communication in the External Access policy

*Enabled Federation and public IM connectivity in the Access Edge Configuration

* Insert Skype as a public provider with the edge server address federation.messenger.msn.com

*verified my edge server with Remove Connectivity Analyzer, Ran the Test for remote connection to Lync. it came back green and it verified that port 5061 is opened and listening.

I can search for my Lync users from Skype and add them to my list and add Skype users to my Lync list.

But the users never come only and I can't send any messages.

I's there something I missed?

Lync Edge Server Configuration

0
0

We have LYNC 2013 setup in Entperise Pool with 2 Front End Servers and then later installed Persisitent Chat and Office Web Apps Server both with 2 servers each.

Now we would like to configure the Edge Server pool, we have 2 Virtual Machine in a Workgroup with DNS suffix. Both have 2 NIC and one is configure for the Internal and the other for the external.

The Internal Connection has local DNS and no Gateway

The External Connection has IP on different subnet and has a Gateway

What are the steps, one has to follow to setup EDGE with 2 machines in the same pool. How many Public IPs do I require or can I use just one IP with different ports and just one common FQDN and can i use one port for all of the FQDNs. Is there a document/guide which I can follow.

Certificates on Front End Server

0

Here is my dilemma. my FE server name ends with Domain.local, I have no problem creating a cert using my internal CA but when I create a csr for my public cert and submit it to GoDaddy it doesn't like the .local. I understand and read about all the new rules on certs, my question is how do I get around this? I even tried a digicert utility and rekeying the cert but that didnt work either.  Please HELP :-)  FYI I have two FE servers and plan on using an Edge server all Windows Server 2012 64bit but all the servers names end with .local.

Thanks in advance.



Problem with Lync Mobility 2013

0
0

We migrate from Lync 2010 to Lync 2013. In Lync Server 2010 we deployed Lync Mobility and it works fine. But in Lync Server 2013 mobile devices can't connect to Lync Server and IIS log contains "500" error. Lync event log contains errors with 4096 event id (source "LS Web Components Server") and with text:

An unhandled exception was encountered in Service service.

Exception Details. System.FormatException: Issuer URI not formatted correctly.

(or same message about RgsAgentService)

We tested external access to the Lync Server web services from Lync and all worked (ABS, Group Expansion and so on). This errors appear only when we try to connect from mobile device.

Both Lync Servers are deployed on Windows 2008 R2.

Contact List search issues after changing user's SIP domain

0
0

Hi,

I'm getting ready to migrate users to a new FE pool (both pools are 2013) and change their SIP domain. As a test I migrated myself and a couple of my coworkers. Now when I search for my coworkers by name, they show up as "Presence Unknown", and only if I type their full new SIP address in the search bar their presence is displayed correctly.

When I look them up from my home computer, connected to the Edge server, it seems to be working just fine.

I'm getting a feeling that something didn't get updated in the process and their names are still attached to the old SIP in the address book.

Running Update-CsAddressBooks gives multiple warnings and an error, which I think were there before the migration:

Users are not indexed in the database that should be.
Expected indexed user count: 0
Actual indexed user count: 412
Cause: User replication issue.
Resolution:
Run Update-CsAddressBook to synchronize all accounts.

(running it again causes the same error)

Or this:

The older user are getting synchronized as part of current synchronization cycle for naming context DC=xx,DC=xxxxx,DC=com
Source of replication is: AddressBookReplication.
Resolution:
The issue should rectify itself in next synchronization cycle.

(Doesn't get rectified in the next synchronization cycle)

Please advise.

Edge server fail SSL via MCRA

Hello everyone!

I've been trying for days to get my edge server working with Lync 2013 to no avail, even after going through all the posts.

Every time I try to test my Edge server it fails with error: "The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer wasn't able to obtain the remote SSL certificate."

My edge server is named: lync.domain.com. On the FE server I've configured the external URL the same.

If I setup my firewall to redirect 443 to 4443 on the Edge server the tests get a little further but the Edge server presents the INTERNAL SSL certificate.

If someone could help that would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Pat

What is the webconf.domain.com URL used for in Lync 2013

0
0
Trying to figure out what the webconf.domain.com URL is used for in Lync 2013. How does it different from meet.domain.com? Our currently implementation of Lync 2010 has a public record in DNS for webconf but this name does not existing in any certificate on either the Edge or FE. If it needs to be in DNS, does it need to exist in the certificate or is it like av.domain.com which doesn't need to have an entry in as a SAN?

SIP Trunk IP question

0
0
We are moving from a Dialogic gateway to a SIP Trunk soon. I am preparing myself for the switch, was wondering how the physical NIC on the mediation server should be configured. I was given an IP for the SIP Trunk from our provider, do I set the external NIC on the mediation server's IP to the IP given to us? Or is that IP used somewhere else in the configuration?

Lync 2013 Edge replication is not working after migration from 2010 !

0

Edge stopped replicating with FE since 29 December out of no where! I can't see anything on the Edge side but on Front end in control panel it shows in topology that it's not replicating.

on even viewer I can see the following event 

File transfer failed for some replica machines. Microsoft Lync Server 2013, File Transfer Agent will continuously attempt to replicate to these machines.

While this condition persists, configuration changes will not be delivered to these replica machines.
Replica file transfer failures:
edge.mydomain.com: Https request failed.

Cause: Possible issues with transferring files to the replicas listed above.
Resolution:
Check the accessibility of file shares or https web services listed above.

any suggestions?

Thanks

Call Forwarding settings frozen after remote pool crash

0
0

Hi, we have two Enterprise FE Pools (US and Europe) and few SBAs assigned to the European Pool. Few days ago, the US pool crashed and had to be rebooted. (The FE servers of the EU pool were rebooted afterwards too.)

Since that event, the call forwarding settings for all users homed on one of the SBAs are frozen. So, regardless what is configured by the user or by SEFAUTIL, Lync applies the settings that were there at the time of the US server crash. If someone had 'transfer immediately to voicemail' configured at the time of the crash, all his calls are transferred immediately to voicemail, even if he has changed the setting and disabled voicemail in the meantime.

All servers are running Lync 2013 CU3, and of course we rebooted the SBA in question but without success. We found that we can "fix" the issue by disabling the users for Lync, waiting 10 minutes and then re-enabling them again. But does anyone have an idea what could be stuck here and what can be done to fix such issues in the future?


Lync Monitoring - Media Quality Diagnostics Reports are empty?

0
0

Hi all

We have a working Lync Monitoring solution, which I've used for various troubleshooting. However now for the first time I wanted to view some media quality data and there doesn't seem to be any? I can view the user activity reports and everything just fine, but any report related to QoE seems to have no data. We have enabled purging and gathering of QoE data and the retention period is 60 days.

I don't know where to go from here. Any ideas? I was thinking about looking in the sql database to see if there is any data, but unfortunately I'm unsure which database to check and what query command i should use on which table.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

External Lync Client 2013 with private IP only can write text message to internal clients (no voice, no video)

0

Hi!

In test lab persists:

DC, Lync Server 2013 Standard Edition (Front End+other roles as Persistent Chat and etc), Edge Server in DMZ, Reverse Proxy (by TMG 2010). Internal clients can used text, voice, video in LAN normally. External Windows clients with private IP (not always ISP give public IP for their clients) can connect to Lync 2013 infrastructure. Presence information working fine. Text message available, but no video, no voice. External Windows Lync clients with public IP not tested yet, sorry. Today I can't do this.

Say me please. In my configuration possible has voice and video between external client with private IP and internal clients?

Thanks!

Lync 2013 Mobility - Push (not working) Question

0
0

Hi all,

I have a Lync 2013 SE Front End Server and a Lync 2013 Edge Server in DMZ. I am trying to get Mobilty to work, aswell as Push Notification. I have configured the Mobility Push for LyncOnline in Control Panel.

I run the following command from my Front End Server:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Test-CsMcxPushNotification -AccessEdgeFqdn edge01.domain.co.uk
Test-CsMcxPushNotification : A 504 (Server time-out) response was received from the network and the operation failed.
See the exception details for more information.
At line:1 char:1
+ Test-CsMcxPushNotification -AccessEdgeFqdn edge01.ingeus.co.uk
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : OperationStopped: (:) [Test-CsMcxPushNotification], FailureResponseException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WorkflowNotCompleted,Microsoft.Rtc.Management.SyntheticTransactions.TestMcxPushNotificat
   ionCmdlet

Looking at other blogs on this issue,

http://blog.ucmadeeasy.com/2012/02/03/lync-push-notifications-504-timeout-error/

http://imaucblog.com/archive/2012/02/16/what-to-do-when-you-get-a-504-server-time-out-response-for-lync-mobile-push-notifications/

I have checked the following. the Default Sip domain is our INTERNAL domain (domain.local)

  1. PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-CsSipDomain

    Identity                                Name                                                                 IsDefault
    --------                                ----                                                                 ---------
    domain.local                            domain.local                                                              True
    domain.co.uk                            domain.co.uk                                                             False
    domain.com                              domain.com                                                               False


  1. My Edge Server in Lync Topology Edge Pool is called 'Edge01.domain.co.uk' (netbios name too)
  2. Access Edge Service is sip.domain.com
  3. Federation SRV record on External DNS: (nothing for domain.local as internal)

SRV : 5061 : _sipfederationtls._tcp.domain.com à sip.domain.com

SRV : 5061 : _sipfederationtls._tcp.domain.co.uk à sip.domain.co.uk

My question is this.

1. Is there any harm in changing the default sip domain to ingeus.com? or will this screw up my live environment, certificates etc.

My Live environment is Lync 2010 but there is no External connectivity of any sort, only internal IM / Presence - I am looking to migrate to lync 2013

2. Do I need to configure external SRV record for the FQDN of the Edge server? (aswell as to the Access Edge Service)

SRV : 5061 : _sipfederationtls._tcp.domain.com à Edge01.domain.co.uk

SRV : 5061 : _sipfederationtls._tcp.domain.co.uk à Edge01.domain.co.uk

Thanks
