Hi there,

I have a member that is added in different Groups. I found a script to list all groups where that person is member of:

"Get-csrgsagentgroup | Where-Object {$_.AgentsByUri -like "sip:name@domain.com"} | Select name".

In my case is that specific person added to 21 different groups (Response Groups - Groups) and I want to delete that specific user from all the groups. Can somebody help me please (with a script) to delete only the user from all the groups please?

Hello,

I am planning on adding a SBS into my topolpgy.

Most users in the central site are connecting externally using Edge server. Which way will take the media traffic between an external user from central site and a user homed on the branch site?

I read a lot that media traffic should not go inside a VPN so I am not sure how it will behave as the SBS will contact the central site servers through VPN.

Hi,

I'm installing SfB Server 2015 standard server in single forest and single domain environment.

After installation process I get error when statring service , the Front end service - Rtcsrv won't start. Also the Windows Fabric service fails.

I'm using using self signed certificates at this point signed by the local windows authority server. Importing the sertificate was successful without errors.

I've also checked that all rights should be ok and I've also ran the Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState command with -ResetType FullReset, no help.

Also I've reinstalled Fabric host service also no help.

I've also done the whole installation process twice and had the same result.

Here are event viewer errors I've got:

Hi, I want to try my hand at Skype Meeting broadcast but am hitting this error.

Your company policy doesn't allow you to use Skype Meeting Broadcast.

I run a school network so I know the EDU licenses don't cover it but have bought a Skype for Business Online ‎(Plan 2) license which I thought covered it.

I then tried using powershell to make sure its enabled for my network and got this after running the right command.

Am I missing something obvious?

When I attempt to log onto the site at https://portal.broadcast.skype.com/en-US/# I get the company policy error.

Hi,

We are moving all our servers from the child domains, into the root domain. what changes will be required, if I need to move our Skype for Business server? Will it be easier to build a new sever and move the users across? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Mathew

hello guys, using the Skype Manager am I able to list the calls made by other users?

I don't want to receive or listen to their calls, I just want to check and export or list the mobile/telephone numbers called by the users.

Because we don't want to give them 500 credits and use it for personal calls.

Is it possible to list the numbers called by users?

Thanks.

Dear all,

we have ocs 2007 R2 (yes, I know, out of date:) server ..can I use lync 2010 client on windows mobile or exist another windows application, like office talk free on android ? We have cwa too..how can I  allow pop-ups for this site on windows phone?

Thank you!

I recently renewed our Lync Server 2013 TLS certificates, both for our Front End and Edge servers, because they were due to expire.  I followed this guide to execute the certificate renewal process.

The certificates just recently expired.  As soon as that happened, I noticed that the Skype for Business mobile client on my phone reported a certificate issue.  I checked https://dialin.domain.com/ from my mobile phone and saw that it was still presenting the old public certificate that expired in January 2016 instead of the new, current one.

On the Edge server, I opened the Lync Server Deployment Wizard | Install or Update Lync Server System | Request, Install or Assign Certificates.  I verified that it shows that both the Edge internal and Edge external certificates that are assigned are ones that expire in January of 2018.  I checked certlm.msc on the Edge server and verified that the Personal store shows both the new and the expired certificates for Edge internal and Edge external.  I tried running Stop-CsWindowsService and then Start-CsWindowsService on the Edge server, but this did not fix the problem.  I then rebooted the whole Edge server; this did not fix the problem either.

We haven't had any problems with Lync/Skype for Business internally, but I checked the Front End server to be sure.  Sure enough, it's using the new certificates and not the old ones.

How do I get the Edge server to pick up and start using the new certificates?  I'm not sure what else to do at this point.

Hello All............I have a few questions, would appreciate if someone could guide:

1.  Can Skype for Business/Lync Server 2013 be used as an alternative to Cisco Call Manager/Avaya, etc.?

2.  Can Skype for Business/Lync Server 2013 be used as a Call Center/Contact Center Solution?

3.  Can  Skype for Business/Lync Server 2013 be integrated with CRM Solutions either Microsoft-based or Third Party?

4.  How in a typical environment, Call Managers and CRM are integrated?  OR do they run independently of each other?  Is it any benefit to integrate both?

5.  Can Skype for Business/Lync Server 2013 be used as an alternate to PABX/Phone Extensions?

6.  If answers to above is yes then can the same Skype for Business/Lync Server 2013 be used for Call Center Management and Users Desk Phones? 

We have a partially broken OCS 2007 R2 environment and a partially deployed Lync 2013 environment.  Currently our Lync 2013 environment appears to be fully functional for hosted meetings on our environment.   

We are currently unable to join meetings that are hosted on outside parties environments.

I believe that our internal users are attempting to connect to the externally hosted meetings via our on premise Edge servers, is that correct?  Any documentation on this?

I also believe that they are not able to connect because currently our Edge servers have no external/outgoing access other than what is required for our internally hosted meetings.  They (the Edge servers) have no outgoing Internet access.

We are not federated with anyone, just trying to join their meetings.

Do I need to just open up port TCP 443 outgoing to fix this?  or do I need UDP 3478 outgoing as well?   

Side note, if we manually add ?sl=1 to the end of the meeting URL to force the web client, the meeting connects.

Dear all,

I ran into the problem that within the organisation we are now testing S4B.

Setup is hybrid with O365 and the activated users are on-premise.

Now, I have

- 5 users set up identically in S4B (cross checked AD information and S4B configuration -> powershell)

- 3 users are able to create a meeting request in outlook through the addin

- 2 users get the above error

I tested the group policies and they are the same for the users. Even better, I setup a fresh computer and logged in with a working users profile -> success and with a non-working user -> fail. Hence I ran out of ideas what to check. Eventlog does not say anything.

Can someone help me with finding a solution or device a debugging method? Is there a way to tell Outlook to monitor more strictly the addin activtity?

Thanks a lot

Martin

Setup an new SBA and when I attempt to rehome users to in I get the following error (doesn't work in GUI either)

If I attempt the move to any of the other SBAs or the FE itself it completes normally.  There isn't anything in the event log.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Hi,

Currently we have on-premise Lync 2013 Edge server configured and sitting in our Texas Datacenter. We have 4 different sites from users connect to Lync at this site.

We are planning to move the Edge servers (and the whole Lync solution) to another location and like to know the best non-disruptive way to do that with minimum impact for our users.

Can we add another Lync 2013 Edge server in the second site and get users reconfigured in a way very minimum impacting the users? Can we run two Edge servers at different sites for time?

Also have lync federation with many companies and our SRV records are published. Any documentation on Lync site migration procedure will be appreciated.

I've just deployed Skype for Business Server 2015 in my domain but I get the following in my event log persistently.

1) 1e5880b0: ignore error 0x80092013:certificate revocation list offline

2) 1f8da773d0: cert chain trust status is in error: 0x1000040

All my clients work fine, and I've verified my certificate is perfectly valid with a good chain.

I've found a Russian MSDN post with the same problem.

Anyone any ideas?

Skype displace the presence indicator icon next to resources listed in Microsoft Project. This is not a problem except when I hover the mouse over the resource name the presence indicator pop-up is displayed preventing me from actually clicking on anything since the pop-up is larger than the things I'm trying to manipulate.  Very frustrating.  Is it possible to prevent this from occurring?

Thanks,

Brent.

Is it possible & supported in a paired pool containing two Lync SE servers, to have them use the same SQL instance for archiving and monitoring data, rather than each SE pool utilising it's own SQL instance for monitoring & archiving data?

I cannot see anything in the TechNet documentation that confirms either way, if this is a supported configuration or not?

The requirement is to have two Lync SE servers in an active / passive configuration, using a single SQL instance for monitoring and archiving data.  This is so that during a failover to the passive pool, the SQL data collected by the previously active pool is accessible.  IN other words, regardless of which pool is active, I need to be able to have all historical data accessible - but without using something like SQL mirroring.

Thought anyone?

Paul
