With Standard Server Failover, the Lync clients go into Resiliency Mode until the admin uses Invoke-CsPoolFailover, correct?
During this period between the Standard server going offline, and the Failover completing (after Invoke-CsPoolFailover) , exactly what services don't work? I can only find vague descriptions, but not a comprehensive list. Anyone got one?
Hi,
i have an issue with my lync deployment,
when testing mobility 2013 after retrieving the discover url the client get redirected to the internal fqdnunder the External test what is the cause ? in the get-cswebservice -webserver i can see that the external url is the correct url that's odd...
LOG:
Exception encountered while sending an HTTP request to https://lync.local/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root/user?originalDomain=contoso.com?sipuri=tomers@contoso.com: An error occurred while sending the request.. Complete Exception: \r\nSystem.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending the request. ---> System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond LYNC.INTERNAL.IP:443thanks
If it's possible, how would I enable a Response Group to receive IM's? I see the presence of the RG is green (available), and I can call it OK. When I try to send an IM to it however, it says "can't receive IM's now".
Thanks in advance!
Good morning gentleman.
Any help will be very appreciated.

I've been working with a pilot deployment of our Lync 2013 environment including Edge/Proxy Servers. I am preparing to deploy Lync to the rest of our company very soon.
One thing that I noticed was that we seem to have a lot of issues with the Lync Address book.
1) It takes a day or two for new users or existing users signing into a new client to see the address book without a reg hack. It appears as if this workaround is not available for MAC users.
2) Some MAC users are never able to see the address book.
3) The address book contents are often corrupted by changes such as to the SIP address and take days or longer for a fix to apply to clients after a new address book is generated.
4) The offline address book contents on users MACs and PCs often becomes corrupted.
So I found that it is possible to set the Address Book Availability to Web Search Only in the CsClient policy. This seems to help with all of these issues. I haven't been able to find a good explanation online regarding how these changes affect performance, how specifically these two differing protocols work and what if any downsides that I can expect from such a change.
Does anyone with knowledge or experience with this setting have anything to relate such as potential issues this may cause and a more technical explanation of how this setting works in comparison to File Download?
Hi all,
While publishing the topology it shows an topology with CMS.
Take a look at the error screenshot.

Hello,
This is the first time I am working with Lync Online. My task is to install Lync on premises and we either will keep it together, or we migrate to the local Lync.
The Lync online is running for about a year now, so I know that everything is configured correctly.
I installed and configured local Lync SE server, Lync Edge server and Reverse Proxy server. Everything is setup and configured. I added a user that I use for installation to that Lync and it can login. I configured federation with another company and federation works.
I run the following PowerShell commands on local Lync server:
Set-CsAccessEdgeConfiguration -UseDnsSrvRouting -AllowOutsideUsers 1 -AllowFederatedUsers 1 -EnablePartnerDiscovery 1
Set-CsHostingProvider -Identity LyncOnline -EnabledSharedAddressSpace $true -HostsOCSUsers $true -VerificationLevel UseSourceVerification -AutodiscoverUrl https://webdir.online.lync.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root
I thought that at this time I should be able to see status and communicate between my user that is on local Lync and everyone else in the company that is on Lync online. This does not happen. When I do search in my Lync client, it shows me all other people but I cannot IM to them, I do not see their status and they are displayed with icon of the phone. If I check details of the user, it shows me correct phone numbers, title, email address, etc...
Can someone tell me what am I missing? Why it does not work?
Thank you. Eric.
Hi,
We have a Lync environment running and we can federate just fine with external parties. I'm currently setting up a brand new Lync environment in a new Active Directory forest on the same hardware platform. On this new environment, I can also federate with external parties, but not with the Lync users on the current environment. The edge servers external NICs are on the same subnet, the internal NIC and the front end servers are on a different subnet.
This is what happens:
Can I find a log somewhere to find out what's wrong here?
Hi guys,
I'm in the following situation:
A stamping machine (for sending pos) is connected to a modem. That modem is connected to a HT503 device which makes the signal digital. The stamping machine sents a preset 0900XXXXXXXX number. The HT503 converts it to a digital signal and sends it to Lync Server.
We see the number coming in, but it doesn't get any further because it's missing the +31. We'd tried a lot of things, but this seems to be a little over our heads.
Is there an easy way to fetch the incoming 0900XXXXXXXX number > Convert is too +31900XXXXXXXX > send it out. Fetch the response and send it back again to the HT503?
Cheers,
Gerben
We recently upgraded from Lync 2010 to Lync 2013. We do not use enterprise voice. It has been brought to my attention that users are no longer able to create meetings on behalf of another user in Outlook.
I have read about the delegation in 2013 and this is not an option for us since we do not use Enterprise voice.
Am I correct that the only way a user can schedule a meeting on behalf of another user in Lync 2013 is if both parties are EV enabled? Is there another workaround? I find it odd that a calendar scheduling function/permissions needs to be tied to voice.
Any advice, or I am going to have some very unhappy Lync 2013 customers (they are already upset that they can no longer look for a person by phone extension, something you could do in 2010)
Hi,
we are planning to integrate an on-premise Lync in our existing Lync Online Infrastructure to use the Enterprise Voice Features. So we want to set up a Split-Domain Hybrid Deployment. From what I read here:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205403.aspx it says:
"DNS Settings
When creating DNS SRV records for hybrid deployments, the records, _sipfederationtls._tcp.<domain> and _sip._tls.<domain>, should point to the on-premises Access Proxy."
Since it says "should Point to the on-premises Access Proxy", would it also be possible to Keep it pointing to the Lync Online Environment?
I thought Kerberos was enabled in Lync 2013 by default but it's not. Just wondering if it's necessary to enable it and assign it to the site. Seems easy enough to do but was wondering about the downside. Our environment is 3 Lync 2013 FE servers in an Enterprise Pool. 1 PC server. 1 Web Access Server. Still have a single Lync 2010 Standard Edition FE we are in the process of decommissioning and a Lync 2010 Edge. Most of our clients are Windows XP SP3 with Lync 2010 if it matters. Just wondering if its worth it as things seem to working just fine now.
Only reason I found this is I ran the BPA for Lync 2013 and it told me I did not have Kerberos enabled for the Site. Article below does a good job of stepping you through enabling it.

Hello All
We have successfully installed and configured LYNC 2013 within our organization and enabled persistent chat and office web application servers. Our clients are able to communicate well with each other and the certificates are installed properly. Below is our setup
Enterprise Pool: lyncs.schs.sharjah.ae (Under this pool we have 2 front end servers)
Persistent Chat Pool: groupchat.schs.sharjah.ae (Under this pool we have 2 chat servers)
Edge Pool: edge.schs.sharjah.ae (Under this pool we have 2 edge servers)
Office Web App Servers: owas.schs.sharjah.ae (Under this we have 2 office web app servers)
Now we would like to have our external clients connect to our Lync Servers: We are planning on using the following for the Edge Server
Access Edge Service: access.schs.sharjah.ae Port 5061
Web Conference Edge Service: Port 444
A/V Edge Service: access.schs.sharjah.ae Port 443
The 2 Edge Server Details are as follows:
Internal IP Address: 10.32.18.35
External IP Address: 10.33.50.11
Nat Enabled Public IP Address: 195.229.57.58
Internal IP Address: 10.32.18.36
External IP Address: 10.33.50.12
Nat Enabled Public IP Address: 195.229.57.59
So basically we are using one public IP Address for each edge server to run all the edge services!
Now all these DNS records have been created internally. What DNS records we have to create so that our clients can use Lync Externally?
Internal DNS Host A Records:
dialin.schs.sharjah.ae
lyncdiscoverinternal.schs.sharjah.ae
lyncs.schs.sharjah.ae
meet.schs.sharjah.ae
owas.schs.sharjah.ae
admin.schs.sharjah.ae
sip.schs.sharjah.ae
sipinternaltls (protocol _tcp, port 5061, host offering this service lyncs.schs.sharjah.ae)
Moreover are there some records to be created on the Reverse Proxy and what are they? Also do we need to have a reverse proxy?
Regards,
Sheldon Dsouza
I have a Cisco 881 router / firewall device connect to the WAN and several public IP. (125.7.113.xx)
I have created the public DNS records to point to respective public IPs (sip.domain.com to 125.7.113.xx)
The Cisco has a local IP of 10.10.10.3 and is connected to a regular switch.
My LAN is 10.10.10.x 255.255.255.0 - all computers have 10.10.10.3 as default gateway.
Onethe vsphere server is a VM (win2008r2) with 2 NICs one has IP 10.10.10.11 255.255.255.0 and the other has the public IP and subnet (125.7.113.xx 255.255.255.248).
But how to I get the cisco to route the income traffic for sip.domain.com (125.7.113.xx) to the VM?
I feel like im going crazy searching for the answer, please help! :)
Hi.
I have difficulties to create or modify groups, queues or workflows with no descriptions.
In the web interface, I can set whatever I want as a description for these objects, including empty description, but when I try to do the same using the powershell commands, I have errors.
For example, I first create a queue with the following command :
New-CsRgsQueue -Name 'MyName' -Parent 'service:ApplicationServer:LYNC2013Finale.ciscoad.lab' -Description $Null
I then change the description with the following commands :
$KURMI_GETQUEUE = Get-CsRgsQueue -Identity 'service:ApplicationServer:LYNC2013Finale.ciscoad.lab/ba74e783-71b6-4952-ade7-4afbf2599653'; $KURMI_GETQUEUE.Description = 'MyDescription'; Set-CsRgsQueue -Instance $KURMI_GETQUEUE;
Once again, it works correctly, but if I try later to empty the description I have an error :
$KURMI_GETQUEUE = Get-CsRgsQueue -Identity 'service:ApplicationServer:LYNC2013Finale.ciscoad.lab/ba74e783-71b6-4952-ade7-4afbf2599653'; $KURMI_GETQUEUE.Description = $Null; Set-CsRgsQueue -Instance $KURMI_GETQUEUE;
The error (SetValueInvocationException) tells me that the minimal length of description is 1.
Il also tried to use the '' value, but the error is the same.
How can I empty a description ?
