Need a clear answer on how to enforce Standard CALs usage.

0
0

I found a few related threads and Blog post but no clear answer.

Most of my users will have a standard CAL and I need to lock them down so they can only use those features.

I need a clear and concise way to do this and it looks like MS is unwilling to provide the answer.
Most of the information that I have found covers Lync 2010 and not 2013.

Here is the test policy I created but the CAL comparison charts I have seen it clearly state that PC to PC voice and video are allowed in the standard CAL. This policy as recommended by a MS rep disables that.

This is very confusing and in desperate need of Clarity.

Outlook Delegate Showing up in Lync even when Enterprise Voice is disabled

0
0

Hi, we have encountered an issue in our testing phase of Lync 2013 deployment.

Users are noticing after they sign into Lync for the first time they are getting messages saying "You were added as a delegate for Employee Name".

These users were at some point in time, set as a delegate for Employee Name, but delegation has since been removed. If we go into the Employee's Outlook and check their delegate settings nothing is listed there.


What's even more perplexing (and nonsensical from a design point of view) is that since we do not have Enterprise Voice in our environment, users aren't able to go into Lync and delete/manage delegates. Without EV enabled, the "Call Forwarding" tab in Options does not show. Why would the management of delegates not be available in Options if the Lync Client is still able to perform delegation of Lync Calls? What a silly oversight.

Not only that, but why would Lync even pull delegation settings from Outlook when a user isn't even enabled for Enterprise Voice? So someone wants to give access to their calendar, they are automatically giving rights to that person to make Lync calls on their behalf too? I don't see any option in Outlook delegates that manages these permissions. This simply doesn't make sense and I'm dumbfounded as to why MS wouldn't have fixed this in 2013, considering it was also an issue in 2010:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/3dbfb19a-c8dd-4d66-bba3-c9865a457625/how-do-i-remove-a-lync-delegation


Is there some other way to remove ghost delegates from Lync user accounts?

Environment is Lync 2013 Standard + Exchange / Outlook 2010.





Meeting icon/tab in Lync 2013 still isn't visible?

We deployed the new Lync 2013 basic client and the meeting tab isn't visible in the app. The icon like thishttp://msftuc.org/2013/07/12/new-features-in-lync-2013-client-july-2013-security-update/

I already installed a whole bunch of updates on 1 pc but nothing seems to resolve this.

  • 2817465, 2817482, 2817489 and 2817491
  • 2880980, 2817624, 2817626, 2817678 and 2825631
  • I also installed all the updates available from Windows Update, even Office 2013 updates when I have Office 2010 apps

The pcs are running Windows 7 Enterprise x86 with Office 2010 x86 and Lync 2013 basic x86 with updates ofMarch 2014 but only KB2863908 of it (without the prerequisites KB2727096, KB2817624, KB2817626 and KB2817678).
This is the config how all the computers are now.

On my test machine I did what I said in the begin. I hope I can sort this out on the forum.


Lync Hybrid : Unable to write to active directory due to lack of permission

Hello everyone,

I need a little help to troubleshoot a problem I have when moving a user to Lync Online.

My client has a Dirsync and Adfs working perfectly with o365.

My problem is that when I try to move a user to Lync Online I have this error :

Move-CsUser -Identity "Username" -Target sipfed.online.lync.com -credential $cred -hostedmigrationOverrideUrl "https://admin0e.online.lync.com/hostedmigration/hostedmigrationservice.svc"

"Move-CsUser : Unable to write to Active Directory due to lack of permissions"

Like the error said, it's a lack of permission but what kind of permission do I need to make this work ? I've tried to googleit/technetit but no helpful topic found...

Thanks in advance for your help and answers.

Regards,

how to customize lync 2013 certificate

0
0

Hello,

We are in process of deploying Lync 2013 enterprise environment, below is the summary of the infrastructure

Lync 2013 Enterprise Edition

2 Central sites

2 Edge Site

IM, Presence and Conferencing including AV conferencing and federation is enabled

We are looking to use wildcard SAN certificate wherever applicable like FE pool, Internal and external Web services.

I understand Lync 2013 deployment wizard has a feature to create the CSR or use Lync PowerShell module to create the SCR but when we choose the certificate type as default it automatically adds the FQDN's that we have defined in topology and doesn't provide any way to customize that.

I just wanted to check if anyone has faced such issue and found an alternate way to create the CSR for Lync 2013 deployment.

Another question:

For edge deployment as per TechNet it seems having access edge URL in the certificate common name is requirement, since we have two edge pools do we need to have a separate certificate for each edge pool or we can have one certificate having all the FQDN's in the SAN.

Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013 Migration Coexistance Issues

0
0

I've recently started working on migrating our Lync environment from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013.  After moving some pilot users from the Lync 2010 pool to the Lync 2013 pool they receive a client warning that says, "Server issues are affecting calls.  Try signing out and back in again."  They also receive another warning that says, "Limited External Calling".  I noticed under Configuration Information MRAS Server is disabled. This issues breaks federation with external users.  I noticed errors on my Lync 2013 FE servers that are currently federated with the Lync 2010 Edge Servers that look like this:

TLS outgoing connection failures.

Over the past 62 minutes, Lync Server has experienced TLS outgoing connection failures 2 time(s). The error code of the last failure is 0x80090322(SEC_E_WRONG_PRINCIPAL) while trying to connect to the server "2010edgepool.server.com" at address [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:5061], and the display name in the peer certificate is "Unavailable".

Cause: Most often a problem with the peer certificate or perhaps the host name (DNS) record used to reach the peer server. Target principal name is incorrect means that the peer certificate does not contain the name that the local server used to connect. Certificate root not trusted error means that the peer certificate was issued by a remote CA that is not trusted by the local machine.

Resolution:

Check that the address and port matches the FQDN used to connect, and that the peer certificate contains this FQDN somewhere in its subject or SAN fields. If the FQDN refers to a DNS load balanced pool then check that all addresses returned by DNS refer to a server in the same pool. For untrusted root errors, ensure that the remote CA certificate chain is installed locally. If you have already installed the remote CA certificate chain, then try rebooting the local machine.

The IP addresses in the above error are the public IP addresses on my Lync 2010 Edge servers.  I find it odd that my Lync 2013 FE servers are trying to use them instead of the internal Edge IP addresses.  Users in the Lync 2010 pool that haven't been migrated don't have any issues.  My certs and DNS entries seem to be fine.  All necessary ports seem to be open between my new Lync 2013 FE servers and the Lync 2010 Edge servers.  I also get this when running a Lync Connectivity Test:

Couldn't sign in. Error: User failed to get response from MRAS server.
SIP service request to MRAS server failed.
Error Message: A 504 (Server time-out) response was received from the network and the operation failed. See the exception details for more information..
Error Type: PublishSubscribeException.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Lync 2013 CAL

Hi,

    I have 3000 users with chat, audio, video, conferencing, no EV, No pstn.  

only 10% of users will be using conferencing.

1. do i need 3000 standard and 3000 enterprise CAL, as we need Enterprise cal for conferencing.

can i take only 300 enterprise CAL for conferencing ? will it create any issue?

2. Can i use lync 2013 basic client as its free, will users will face any issue with respect to features used.?


need clarity on HLB and storage for lync 2013 3000 users

Below is my exchange and Lync 2013 plan for 3000 users, my concern is for Lync 2013 HLB and storage used.

1. DNS Load balancing for EDGE Pool, persistent pool.. is that fine , any issue on that?

2. HLB for FE pool , same HLB using for Exchange also, any issue?

3. NLB for Web app server, any issue?

4. for Lync roles , below is the storage proposed , is that enough? it should be system disk or SAN?  considering that load is minimal and there is no monitoring and archive storage

Randomly the RTCLOCAL SQL service will enter the stopped state, taking down the Registrar Lync service. There is nothing in the error logs showing why this is happening. All I have to do is start the RTCLOCAL SQL service and everything comes back.

Unable to resolve the servers DNS address Externally Only

0

Hello - 

I have 2 Lync 2013 Servers that I am migrating to from OCS 07. I got the migration complete and everything seems to be working fine. 

When setting up a meeting internally, it works fine. I am able to invite users and join meetings, etc... 

When inviting an external user to a meeting (outside of our domain) which would connect from outside our network, I am getting the above error: Unable to resolve the server's DNS address. When I try and reach the site without creating a meeting, I can reach the site with no problem. I get an error, but the webpage comes up. It is only when creating a meeting, and following the link https://meet.domain.com/user/abcdefg/ that I get the DNS error. 

In my deployment, I have 2 servers. One server is for IM and the other is for online conferencing. 

Any assistance is appreciated! Thank you!

Lync Enterprise Voice Deployment - Can't get SIP trunks to work

0
0

Hey guys,

So i'm doing a proof-of-concept for Lync 2013 Enterprise voice. I've just purchased two sip trunks with 3 DIDs. I've followed their directions but have had no luck making outgoing PSTN numbers. I always get the error message "Disconnected service unavailable".

I did some troubleshooting with their tech support, did some logging with Lync & gave them our SIP Logs.

Here is what they told me back:

I have reviewed the log and found the following:

Your logs state the below:

Direction: outgoing;source="local"

Peer: lync2013.network.caedm.ca:5070

sip:+17807198033@208.82.88.120:5070ß this particular line states to send the call of 780-719-8033 to 208.82.88.120 at port 5070. Please change this to port 5060.

In your outbound To field you have the following:

To: <sip:7807198033;phone-context=defaultprofile@network.caedm.ca;user=phone>;epid=EC06E70A33;tag=b91b46715a

Please change this to reflect: To: sip:7807198033@208.82.88.120;user=phone>;epid=EC06E70A33;tag=b91b46715a

Where can I set the outgoing port to 5060? In the topology builder I have already configured the listening port under "PSTN gateway" to be TCP 5060. I don't see anything in the topology builder relating to outgoing ports, only "listening ports".

Thanks.

Bug in Lync 14.0.8 (140321) for Mac OS X

0
0

Hi all,

there is a bug in Microsoft Lync version 14.0.8 (140321) for Mac OS X with case sensitive file systems. The application crashes with the following error message:

Dyld Error Message:
  Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/USBHidWrapper.framework/Versions/14/USBHidWrapper
  Referenced from: /Applications/Microsoft Lync.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Lync
  Reason: image not found

The problem can be resolved as follows (as root user etc.):

  • cd "/Applications/Microsoft Lync.app/Contents/Frameworks"
  • ln -s USBHIDWrapper.framework/ ./USBHidWrapper.framework

@MS: please fix Lync to operate with case sensitive filesystems. The bug is minor and related to this single folder within the Lync package. The bug wasn't there with some previous versions.

Best regards!




Mobility Server Certificate Error Lync 2013 - Iphone/Ipad Client 5.4

Hello,

I'm facing some issues with my Ipad/Iphone Mobility Lync Clients.

After they update the client to ther 5.4 version, they cannot connect anymore. I have only internal CA certs published on my Edge and TMG, and also installed the CA Root on the devices, but I keep receiving the "We cant verify the certificate from the server" error. Checking the Logs, I can see that my lyncpool certificate was expired a month ago, but the Policy Listener Tab is populated with a valid certificate. 

Can someone help me?

Thanks!


Lync Push Notifications Issue 504 Error

0
0

I know that this is a common issue but I haven't been able to find a resolution. I am looking more for clarification and guidance at this point.

I have my Lync 2013 Server set up with an Edge server and TMG as the reverse proxy. Lync services work fine externally and the RemoteConnectivityAnalyzer performs all steps just fine. It has been working for months now.

I just decided over the weekend to try and get push notifications working. I followed a couple guides on how to do that, went through all of the commands but eventually got stuck trying to Test the federation and push. When I enter the command Test-CsFederatedPartner -TargetFqdn lyncedge.domain.local -Domain push.lync.com I get the 504 (server time-out) error.

When I run the logging on the Edge server I see SIPAdminLog::WriteDiagnosticEvent 1198.idx that says Unable to Route the Request. The result code is 0xc3e93d6e SIPPROXY_E_EPROUTING_MSG_DISCOVERED_DOMAIN_NO_SRV_MATCH. The Data says domain="push.lync.com";fqdn1=sipfed.online.lync.com:5061";reason="The domain of the message resolved by DNS SRV but none of the FQDNs is in the same domain".

On my external DNS I have:

SRV records
TypeServiceProtocolPortWeightPriorityTTLNameTarget
SRV_sip_tls44311001 hour<var>      <MyDomainName>       </var>     sip.mydomainname.com
SRV_sipfederationtls   _tcp506111001 hour<var>       <sipfed.online.lync.com></var>          push.lync.com

SRV  _sipfederationtls   _tcp       5061 1          100       1hour         <MyDomainName>              sip.mydomainname.com

I have an A record pointing sip.mydomain.com to my TMG reverse proxy and just allowing it through to the access edge interface of my lyncedge server.

I have a public cert on all of my lync services from GoDaddy so I don't believe that is the issues as some people have come across. I think I have something mixed up in my A, CName and SRV records which are not pointing to the correct locations.

If anyone could help me out it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tmark86

Lync 2013 Licensing

0
0

Hi All,


A very quick and I'm sure simple question.

I know that users features are dependent on the CAL that they have but is there also a server side license that allows/disallows features from being installed?

If I installed Lync 2013 Standard would I be able to add and install all features and have these restricted only by the user CAL's or would I be limited in some way in what can be installed/configured? Obviously SQL and other back end products have their own licenses.

Thanks in advance.

SQL Server HA/DR supported configurations

0
0

Hello. We are looking at implementing Lync 2013 and it needs to be in a supported configuration.

Could someone clarify the position for SQL Server HA/DR options for Lync 2013.

Failover Cluster - Supported
Database Mirroring - Supported
Availability Groups - Not Supported

Log Shipping - ???

I've been reading the documentation and it specifically mentions support for clustering and mirroring:-

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205248.aspx

Yet a few pages down, when it comes to the persistant chat database, it starts to mention log shipping:-

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204653.aspx

So is log shipping a valid HA/DR option for all Lync databases or is LS only supported for the persistant chat database?

Thanks
