Running Lync 2013 Standard Edition on a single server including the Enterprise CA, all on the same server but i can't get the Front-End Service to start, it returns with the error below.
I'm running everything under Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise.
Windows could not start the Lync Server Front-End on local Computer. Error code -1008193491.
Hey All,
So here we are with our trusty OCS 2007 R2 deployment sitting alongside a shiny new Lync 2013 back-end with merged topologies and ready for user migration. Currently all our users (4000) are running the OCS 2007 R1 client.
Can you share any experiences of the following scenarios and what the end user experience should be during our migration from OCS to Lync. (by the way , the end users will actually be using the Skype for Business 2015 client, part of Office 2013 click to run).
1. Can legacy OCS 2007 R1 clients share content with a migrated Skype user, by initiating from within a IM chat window? (i/e invite them to joing a LiveMeeting)
2. Can newly migrated Skype users share content with legacy OCS users, by initiating from within a IM chat window? (i/e invite them to a native Lync sharing session?)
3. Should a newly migrated Skype user be able to schedule and invite legacy OCS clients to a "skype meeting" from Outlook using the new Skype Meeting Outlook button? The Legacy OCS client will join via the Lync web app, right?
So far I am getting the feeling we need the OCS 2007 R2 client on our 4000 strong user base, but we were told this was not necessary at the beginning...
What your views and experiences? Anything you can share will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Hi
I have in production a Lync 2013 hosting pack v2 system and I need to Integrate it with On-Prem Exchange 2013 for one of my tenants. The Lync hosting pack deployment guide mentions the following:
"To integrate the hosting pack with
Exchange on-premises, you need to establish a MPLS or VPN connection to the
on-premises network, and then establish an Active Directory trust relationship
between the on-premises Active Directory and you’re the Active Directory of the
hosting provider where the hosting pack is deployed."
I would like to get some feedback from someone that already performed such integration.
I would like to set up a separated Domain controller/AD on my side and create trust to the customer's site connecting thru IP Sec. The Domain Controller/AD part is not clear to me as I am not expert on it.
I have been trying to resolve an issue for a user on Windows 7 x64, who gets the dreaded White Screen when trying to join a Lync session. I have looked around this forum, and keep seeing
Delete this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} . That key does not exist on his machine.
I have updated his video card drivers from HP. Resetting IE to defaults worked once, but the second time, it would not work. Even going back in and resetting IE again did not work.
He has Office 2007 if that matters.
Any help is appreciated.
I am moving CAC functionality from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013. I am successfully assign the CAC functionality to Lync Server 2013 Enterprise Edition Front End pool and publish the topology.

Hello,
I have a "small" problem with PowerPoint presentations in our Lync 2013 PoC deployment. We have deployed the FE and WAC server according to the deployment procedures, the FE is fully functional. For WAC, besides the procedure published in Technet we followed these recommendations:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219455.aspx
http://blog.insidelync.com/2012/08/lync-server-2013-preview-and-the-office-web-app-server-preview/
http://howdouc.blogspot.com/2012/08/installing-office-web-apps-server-for.html
We can upload pptx files in a conference but when apparently the content is fully uploaded,the text is ripped off the presentation, only graphics, brackgrounds are displayed. This consistently happens from the very simple presentations to the content-rich ones. Not sure where the problem is, whether in the Lync FE or in the Office Web Apps server. Our WAC server is configured with HTTPS, ran all the testings to check if is operational and apparently it is. the FE logs event 41032 that shows that the FE successfully discovered Office Web Apps server, 41034 is logged too.
This is very puzzling so any idea is very welcome.
Regards,
MC
Hi all, we have two datacenters each with their own SfB pool and edge pool.
Currently our SRV records point to sipeast.domain.com and sipwest.domain.com
We do have sip.domain.com on our cert, but I realized that it does not actually exist in DNS, nor is it referenced by any SRV records. Our CX phones work just fine in this configuration. As our cert renewal is coming due, I’m trying to figure out if I need to keep the sip.domain.com name on it.
How about in the same situation, but with multiple sip domains? Do we need to have sip.domain2.com, sip.domain3.com etc on the cert?
Thanks!

getting a 503 Service Unavailable when browsing to the internal web services fqdn and then /ucwa in IE. for example, https://lyncinternalwebservices.domain.com/ucwa
in IIS manager > Application Pools, the LyncUcwa is stopped. it stops when i start it.
i've been searching and trying different fixes. none of them have worked.
no antivirus on server.
already followed kb2997513
tried this: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638592%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Dear all,
Ive some confuse on the external web services FQDN setup:
My AD Domain name: domain.com
My SIP domain name: sipdomain.com
when deploy the topology, i set up the external web services FQDN to be "lync2013.domain.com" as same as the internal web services FQDN, but when i need to deploy the external mobility function, should i change the external web service FQDN from "lync2013.domain.com" to be "SIP.sipdomain.com"? as i know the mobile access the server via Mobility Service URL, which is associated with the external Web Services FQDN, if must change, then should i
1. change the "lync2013.domain.com" to be "SIP.sipdomain.com" in the topology builder.
2. Publish the topology.
3. modify the CA? how to do?
Thanks.
Hi,
i have to design a solution for 2500 lync users. There are two sites connected by fiber, one site hosts 1500 users and second site hosts 1000 users. I will use sql mirroring for back end servers. I have a question regarding the bandwidth requirements. How can i calculate a bandwidth requirements for sql mirroring between sites? Is there any tool available from Microsoft ?
I have been trying fruitlessly to get lync 2013 mobile client to connect to my Skype for business server. I cannot work out what is wrong as Skype for business clients can connect without any changes, the autodiscover seems to work for PC clients.
So what would be causing mobile clients to be unable to connect if PC clients can externally?
Im sure I have public DNS set correctly. See below: -
External DNS Records
Record Type | Value | Points to |
A | Public IP | |
A | Public IP | |
A | Public IP | |
A | Public IP | |
A | Public IP | |
A | Public IP | |
A | Public IP |
Record Type | Value | Port | Points to |
SRV | _sip._tls.domain.co.uk | 443 | |
SRV | 5061 | ||
SRV | 5269 |
I also have our on site root CA cert installed on the device as the first error i received was a certificate verification error, now i just get cannot connect error.
I found an article that said i could just use our firewall to redirect ports 80 & 443 to 8080 & 4443 rather than use a reverse proxy so i went that route.
It must be communicating with my server shouldnt it if i got the certificate verification error, so cannot work out whats wrong?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks

I am running Win 7 64 bit OS and Office 2013 also 64 bit. I had been running both office 2010 and office 2013 on my laptop (Dell M6600) and was able to run Lync and share my desktop. I then unintentionally updated lync to Skype for Business via Windows Update. Since then I have removed all office products and reinstalled office 2013 and not lync is not able to share my desktop. All other functions work. I can see other people's desktop just can't share mine. When attempting to share it appears to time out. The message is Couldn't connect because media is not setup correctly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times now with no success. I have since reinstalled office 2010 and lync 2010 as well as office 2013 back on my laptop. Lync 2010 works fine. I assume there is some installation file that is not being removed or reset that is causing the issue. Any suggestions.
Thanks

Hey!
We recently updated our Lync 2013 Servers to Skype For Business Server 2015, after that the monitoring from SCOM stopped working. So I was looking for the new Skype For Business Management Pack but I can't seem to find it.
The only information I find about it, is this:
"
System Center Operations Manager is recommended. We recommend that you monitor the health of your Skype for Business Server deployment to help ensure service availability for end-users. You can use the System Center Operations Manager Management Pack for Skype for Business that is available as a free download from Microsoft. With the Skype for Business Management Pack, you can proactively get real-time alerts when issues occur, run synthetic transactions to test end-to-end Skype for Business functionality, get reports for service availability, and so on. This helps you to proactively respond to issues with your deployment before end-users experience them.
"
I have searched all around Microsoft Download Center, but I can't seem to find it.
Have somebody else located it, or maybe have some information about the release of it?
Thank you for your time!
We have an issue with our Exchange-list based RGs in Lync 2013 not getting updates properly.
For example, we have a response group Reception, which has ReceptionGroup@domain.com as its Exchange based membership group.
When I add user D to ReceptionGroup@domain.com, he shows up properly in Exch and in AD, but when I run Update-CSAddressBook (or wait for it to sync automatically), he never shows up in the RG list. Running Get-CSRgsAgentGroup shows the same results - users A, B and C are in the group, but D is not.
When I run Update-CSAddressBook, I see several events indicating a successful User Replication, so I know it's at least attempting to process properly.
The only questionable event I see is this:
Event 30059
The older user are getting synchronized as part of current synchronization cycle for naming context DC=Domain,DC=orgHow can I narrow down where the disconnect is here? Switching the group membership to 'Custom' works properly, but Exchange based memberships never seem to update correctly.
This issue is driving me nuts...
we have a lync 2013 deployed and everything runs great however we couldn't get voicemail to work. Now we moved to skyp for business as an in place upgrade.
After upgrade we can call a DID and the voicemail will pick up for that user, however if we call the subscriber access number it just rings and rings and rings no answer!! Same with Auto Attendant
Voicemail works if a call is placed to a user and message is left then we receive email great! We can also call our user did line and press * when the voicemail greeting starts and we can retrieve full voice setting functions....this is great and fine with that.
We have a line dedicated as a subscriber access and configured in the dial plan, we also have an auto attendant setup as well and configured in the dial plan. Each have their own dedicated DID. These lines never answer they just ring and ring and ring....very strange. We have created new dial plans and such to no avail
Can someone help us out or provide suggestion??
Thank you
Hi.
Im having a problem with deploying the monitoring databases on a backend sql server.
I run the following script:
Install-CsDatabase -DatabaseType Monitoring -SqlServerFqdn dbserver.fqdn -SqlInstanceName instance01
And receiving "Type: System.IO.IOException, Message: The network name cannot be found."
I am a member of RTCUniversalServerAdmins and have sysadmin permissions.
Network discovery is turned on.
At the Lync server: "Verify the back-end is up and this Lync Server has connectivity to it. Verify that both Lync Server and the back-end were installed or modified by the same installation package.
At the sql server i see this in the event log: "Login failed for user 'domain\LYNC01$'. Reason: Could not find a login matching the name provided."
Which account do I need to give permissions for this to work?
Please have in mind im new to Lync.
Thank you.

Hello,
I am sure this has come up, but i haven't found exactly what i am looking for.
We have a single 2007 non r2 OCS 2007 server in a Standard pool.
Our intention is to move to Lync 2013.
We are only using the OCS server for Internal IM and Screen sharing.
Can we just de-provision all the users and stand up the new system and re-provision everyone?
Should i run an uninstall, will this remove the built-in AD groups from 2007 and anything in the AD system partition?
Are there any AD Schema Attributes that i need to be concerned with?
I hope i gave enough information.
Thank you in advance.
I am getting quite confused on what could be wrong with my Lync 2013 Standard deployment. Here are my outstanding issues so far -
We currently have OCS2007R2 deployed in a merged topology. I am trying to get as much working as possible before we make the switch to only Lync 2013. Because of this, I will note that sip.domain.com still points to old OCS server and any pertinent SRV records still point to OCS environment.
We are still waiting on an Audiocodes to do our PSTN/Dial-in plan portion.
Here are my Internal/External DNS records. I am guessing I have a few extras that were added while trying to follow different guides and such, but now I am a bit confused on what is needed. We run split-dns.
| External Access name | access1.domain.com | ReverseProxyIP1 | ExternalIP1 | External |
| External Audio/Video name | av1.domain.com | ReverseProxyIP3 | ExternalIP3 | External |
| External Web Conferencing name | webcon1.domain.com | ReverseProxyIP2 | ExternalIP2 | External |
| External Web Services name/Reverse Proxy | lyncweb.domain.com | ReverseProxyIP1 | ExternalIP1 | External |
| Dial-in simple URL / Reverse Proxy | dialin.domain.com | ReverseProxyIP1 | ExternalIP1 | External |
| Meet simple URL | meet.domain.com | ReverseProxyIP1 | ExternalIP1 | External |
| External Web Server/Reverse Proxy | sfdwebapps0.domain.com | ReverseProxyIP1 | ExternalIP1 | External |
| Lync Discover record | lyncdiscover.domain.com | ReverseProxyIP1 | ExternalIP1 | External |
| SIP Record - | sip.domain.com | Still pointed at old OCS | xxx | internal |
| Internal SIP record | sipinternal.domain.com | FrontEnd | 192.168.3.105 | Internal |
| Lync web services External record (for internal mobile) | lyncwebext.domain.com | ReverseProxyExternal | ExternalIP1 | Internal |
| Lync Discover Internal | lyncdiscoverinternal.domain.com | ReverseProxyExternal | 192.168.3.105 | Internal |
| Office Web Apps Farm (internal) | webapps.domain.com | WebAppsServer | 192.168.3.97 | Internal |
| Admin Console simple name | admin.domain.com | FrontEnd | 192.168.3.105 | Internal |
| Dial-in simple URL (internal) | dialin.domain.com | FrontEnd | 192.168.3.105 | Internal |
| Meeting simple URL (internal) | meet.domain.com | FrontEnd | 192.168.3.105 | Internal |
| Lyncweb External Web Services | lyncweb.domain.com | FrontEnd | 192.168.3.105 | internal |
Any assistance or recommendations in regards to my environment would be much appreciated!
Hello I have a really basic question. I'm trying to set up a UM Policy between O365 with On Premise Lync and I need to get my Reverse Proxy URL and the tenant for the UM Policy. I am looking for the easiest way to get these two pieces of information for the policy.
Thanks,
Joe
