Hey
I am installing Lync 2013 server, I am trying to publish topology but there occurs error:
"Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Deployment.UnknownObjectException" "Cannot locate Central Management store location container in the Active Directory global settings container"
Any help please

I was deploying Lync 2013 Enterprise Edition. When I first created the Topology, I edited for Simple URL’s, added the Admin URL & for “Central Management Store” option, the drop-down had my pool name with Site name. I guess I selected that & published. I found that the CMS databases were split between two front-end servers and due to which the other databases were not created at all. I thought after complete installation they will appear, but they didn’t and neither did any error popped up.
With much pain, I uninstalled Lync 2013 completely & started again now. I see that only lync pool name is coming for CMS. I know it should be the name of front-end server.
If I give only one front-end server in the Enterprise Pool, even then it shows the Pool Name rather than Server Name.
I thought to first give one server & publish topology, since there will be only one front-end the CMS Store will get on one server only. & later add Second Server. What say?

still working on some lync 2013 issues for mobility. lync mobile is working for external users coming into our network though the proxy except i'm at a loss to a cert prompt.
when setting up a new mobile device using lync 2013 mobile, after entering credentials, I get prompted for: Lync is attempting to redirect your to 'issued by thawte SSL CA -G2 and our external web url" which is correct. I also get a second
prompt for the same exact thing. Then I get something weird. I get a third SSL cert prompt stating:
Lync is attempting to redirect to:
Issued by: acquia.com
subject *.acquia-sites.com
expires 2010
sig algorithm: SHA1withRSA
No one knows what this is or how it is in our environment. Any idea???
If I continue thought the prompts, It connect fine. We are having issues with internal network mobile devices and I'm not sure what this is, nor do any of our other folks.
Has anyone else ever seen that???
I am developing a Lync in my test environment and running into and issue with the mobility part. I have the reserve proxy setup and it is in my DMZ. I have static paths between the proxy and the front end server and they can talk to each other. I am using an internal cert that I installed on my device.
The issue is that when I click sign in on the device it sits on the signing in screen and that is it. I have ran wireshark on the proxy server and I see that the device is talking with the server and they are passing application data. The handshake was also completed. But it will not sign in. I have looked at the front end server and with wireshark I am seeing the servers talk. I pulled the log from the device and it says that the e-mail address is not valid. Any suggestions. If it would be easier I can post screen caps of the wireshark and device logs
Hi All,
recently, I plan to patch latest CU in my Lync server 2013. but I have a doubt that should I need to patch the mirror database when I apply back-end database updates. kindly advise. thanks
Best regards

We are currently working through a Lync 2013 Standard deployment with a reverse proxy and a front edge server.
We purchased a UUC cert from godaddy and have installed the cert on the Edge and Reverse Proxy and can make successful connections using standard and mobile clients.
When mobile devices connect over our BYOD wifi network they get prompted twice to accept the internal cert assigned to our front end server. I understand it is best practice not to put the internal names on the external cert and am trying to figure out what is needed to allow authentication without the domain prompt. We do not want to install the internal ca cert on all the devices and prefer to use autodiscover.
Since we have so many domains our meet url is meet.domainb.com/Domain to minimize certs.
What is the recommended approach to grant access to internal mobile devices without installing the internal cert on the devices?

Hi,
We already have pool1 published and trying to publish second pool, ie pool2.contoso.com, while publishing i get the following error.
Error: An error occurred: "System.IO.InvalidDataException" "Multiple pool objects found in Active Directory with the name 2:4 or FQDN pool2.contoso.com. To continue, ensure that your deployment does not use conflicting pool information and clean up any stale entries from deactivated pools
I've set up Edge server and reverse proxy on ISA 2006. Certificates were requested from a local CA wich is added to trusted root authorities on Android phones and desktops. Desktop clients can connect to Lync server and phones can not.
Hi guys,
I have a system landscape that was migrated from Windows 2008 R2 (as AD) with Exchange 2010 and existing Lync 2013 Installation. Lync Integration with OWA was working fine in that configuration.
After the AD was migrated to Windows 2012 R2 and Exchange was migrated to 2013, there are some problems with OWA Integration for users hat have UCS enabled (that is my guess). All Systems are installed in german language.
For testing I created a new user in AD, Exchange and Lync and I can use Lync in OWA without any problems.
But when I log in to Lync Rich-Client with that user, after a few minutes I got logged off and on again (because there were some changes in my contact list; the UCS enablement, I guess) -> after that the Default Contact Group in Lync is named "Other
contacts" (was "Andere Kontakte" before) and I cannot login for Lync with that user in OWA anymore (this is reproducible; delete user from Lync, delete contact list in Outlook, try again).
However I can still login with users that have never used Lync 2013 Rich-Client (i.e. Domain-Administrator), so it is not a General Lync-OWA-Integration problem.
I did some testing, but I am not able to find a solution.
When I enable UCMA-Tracing with OCSTracer I get the following error message:

Any ideas on this?
Thanks in advance!

Afternoon all
Has there been any change in the support for SQL 2012 AG's with Lync 2013? My understanding is that this is still not supported but a customer is challenging that they believe it now is.
I believe the confusion has arisen around Microsoft's statement around support for Clustering.
If someone could confirm, I would appreciate it.
Regards
Neil
Hi Everyone
I have been looking around for documented cases of this type of deployment but cannot find any meaningful information on it. I am migrating from Lync 2010 Enterprise edition and want to migrate to Lync 2013 Standard Edition. An enterprise deployment is not nessacery at all and I want to limit the amout of servers I need. We do not have a requirement for resilience and we want to run a single FE deployment, we use all the bells and whistels on Lync including desk phones on all desks.
Is it supported to migrate from an EE deployment to a SE deployment?
Many Thanks
Joe

I have a Lync deployment consisting of a Front End , and an Edge server as well as attempting to get this Web Apps server deployed. I also have an IIS ARR as my Reverse Proxy. Everything in my deployment works, except the Web Apps server. I have followed blog posts, technet posts, videos EVERYTHING in an attempt to get this thing working and it ONLY works internally. I have tried having my internal and external URLS be the same and bypass the reverse proxy and NAT directly to the server with a public cert, not working. I have tried having the internal and external URLS of the WebApps Server be different and have my Reverse Proxy route, still does not work. I am at my wits end and need assistance.
Questions answered before you ask, Can I access the https://webapps.domain.com/hosting/discovery externally with no cert? Yes I CAN
Internally? YES
The issue that i have is when a user is at home, not on VPN and they attempt to share they get the "Cannotthe server for presenting right now". If they are within the network, no issue.
What is the issue here?
UPDATE: I realized for some reason, we have no public IP assigned to webconf.domain.org....which as you can assume will probably make these features not work. Will update our public DNS and report back
Hi guys,

The error i received is as following.
I really appreciate your help.
Thank you
Hello.
On our SQL instance that hosts the LcsCDR & QoEMetrics databases I have the following SQL Server Agent Jobs:
LcsCDR_Purge
LcsCDR_UsageSummary
QoEMetrics_Purge
QoEMetrics_UsageSummary
I'd like to know if anyone else has these same jobs on their instances as it's unclear looking at the job descriptions, when they were created, and the code they run if these are part of the core Lync system or something that has been set up randomly afterwards.
One thing I do know is that these jobs don't work correctly when you use database mirroring. I will elaborate on this if/when I can find out any more information about them first.
Thanks
Hi,
Configured open federation for a customer few weeks ago and after a couple of days it stopped working.
Yesterday we found out that external companies and users on office 365 can see the customers precense and initiate an IM.
However the customer (inside) can not see precense on office 365 or other external organization users.
If the customer initiates an IM/Chat it wont work.
If an external user from another company or office 365 initiates an IM/Chat to the customer it gets through and the customer can respond to that message. Still no precense though.
It all depends on how it beeing initialized.
Any hints on how to proceed?
I have a few questions on setting up a Lync 2013 Edge Server. Let me give a little background into what is going on. My comapny currently still has the old Communicator server(1 user left to migrate to Lync!) and a Lync 2013 that is all setup and functional. Our current Lync environment is only internal, since we do not have a Edge Server setup. That is what I am task to work on now. I have read alot of guides on how to build this server, where it needs to be placed in the DMZ, and what is needed for it.
First question - Is there a hardware spec needed for this server?
Second question - I read that 3 public ip are needed. What are they needed for? So I can explain to our network guys why I need this.
Third question - Does it matter if the Edge server is on the domain or not? I read it shouldnt be. I dont think it will be an issue either way for me, but its easier to manage if on the domain.
Fourth question - Should I finish my Communicator server decom before worrying about the Edge server?
Final question - is there a guide on how to get rid of the Communicator Server Connections to our Lync Server?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
We are developing some software that will make use of the Lync 2013 monitoring database. Does anyone know if there is a sample database available for download anywhere? or could anyone with Lync 2013 monitoring running help me out?

Hello everyone,
Could anyone please refer me to an article or explain to me what I need to know regarding Lync Server 2013 on-prem to Skype for Business license upgrade and O365 CALS?
We have Software Assurance with Lync Server 2013, and would like to upgrade when S4B becomes available. What do I need to know?
Thank you for any information.
