Cannot share desktop - Lync 2013 server and Windows 8 (64-bit) client

Currently my new Lync server cannot share a desktop through a Lync 2013 client installed on a Windows 8 workstation. The client is patched up with the latest MS patches (much beyond the patch issues noted about a year ago, the patches in question do not
even show up as installed).
I get the same "An error occurred during the screen presentation" message. I do have a NVIDIA video cards on the workstations, but they too are patched up. The same systems have no issues sharing desktop screens in the Lync 2013 client on Windows
8 systems when they are connected to a Lync 2010 server.
I have no idea where to go from here. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

Did this issue happen to other Lync 2013 client?
As you mentioned that you can used the same Lync 2013 to sharing desktop screen when it connects Lync Server 2010 while you couldn’t share desktop screen when it connects to Lync Server 2013,
I think it is related with Lync Server.
Please check if you can find any errors on Lync Front End Server.
Check all Lync server services are all started.

Iphone and ipad Lync Client Randomly cannot sign in to Lync 2013 Server

I have a Lync 2013 environment that will allow all clients to connect from inside and outside of the network except for ios devices. iOS devices are sometimes able to connect and sometimes not. When they are not able to sign in they receive a message stating,
"An Error Occurred in Lync. Please retry. If the problem persists, contact your support department"
I have run tests using the Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer and all tests come back green. I have also used the Lync Connectivity Analyzer and get the results below:

Your deployment meets the minimum requirements for Lync Mobile 2013 App.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to go next? Troubleshooting an intermittent connection issue that only affects one mobile platform is tough...especially when all the testing tools say everything is configured correctly :)
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem, and we have netscaller as revrse proxy solution and we have the required records created for mobility.
with lync2010 mobility it is working fine, but with lync 2013 mobiltity we have intermittent issue with error e2-3-33 error

I had the same problem (e2-3-33 on mobile devices at random times) and it turns out it was McAfee antivirus causing the UCWA service to crash repeatedly. The workaround for it is outlined in the below blog entry I found as well as the below Microsoft document.
Long story short you want to run follow the steps outlined in the workaround section below (I copied it from the linked MSFT document)

WORKAROUND
he following procedures must be performed on all Lync Server 2013 FE server and Director Lync 2013 server roles. To
perform these procedures, first open a command prompt as an administrator.
Windows Server 2008 R2
On the Start menu, type cmd.exe in the Windows search feature, and then press Enter.
Right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator.
Windows Server 2012

In the Command Prompt window, follow these steps:
Navigate to the %install drive%:\Windows\System32\inetsrv> directory prompt.
Enter the following command, and then press Enter:
appcmd set config /section:applicationPools /[name='LyncUcwa'].recycling.disallowOverlappingRotation:true
Enter the following command, and then press Enter:
appcmd set config /section:applicationPools /[name='LyncUcwa'].processModel.shutdownTimeLimit:0.00:00:30
To confirm the changes from steps 2–3, enter the following command, and then press Enter:
appcmd list apppools lyncucwa /config
The following information should be returned to the console to confirm the update to the LyncUcwa application pool

What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following end points are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?

Hi All,
What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following clients are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?
Client Type
Port range and Protocol required for Audio
Port range and Protocol required for
Video
Port range and Protocol required for
A/Vconferencing
Windows Desktop Client
Windows mobile App
Iphone
Ipad
Andriod phone
Andriod Tablet
MAC desktop client
Please advise. Many Thanks.

Out of the box, 1024-65535 for all of the client ports. :)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398833.aspx
You'll want to tune your client ports a bit
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204760.aspx as seen here, and then the client ports would use those ranges which is easier to set QoS markings. I'm not sure the mobile clients respect that setting.
Elan's got the best writeup for Windows clients here:
http://www.shudnow.net/2013/02/16/enabling-qos-for-lync-server-2013-and-various-clients-part-1/
However, the marking of the packets is the tricky part. Windows can do it via Group Policy, but for the other clients you'll need to have the network specifically prioritize ports regardless of DSCP markings. You have to do it based on ports
as the traffic could be peer to peer.

Lync 2013 for iPad & Windows Mobile Sign in Issue

Hi,
I hope someone can help with a very frustrating issue I'm having with Lync 2013 on iOS & Windows Mobile - it won't sign in with an error message saying 'We can't sign you in. Please check your account info and try again'
I know my account info is right as I use it to sign in to the desktop client when working remotely, and it also works fine on an Android client.
The Lync remote connectivity analyser passes all the tests, I can get to the xml file using https://lyncdiscover.domain.org/autodiscover/autodiscoverservice.svc/root from a laptop, but from the iPad it's just a blank screen.
I've tried using auto detect, and entering details manually, but still no luck. I'm completely stumped. I've trawled blogs, form posts etc, but nothing. HELP!!!
Some details - we have a FE server, and an Edge Server, both running Lync 2013 with latest updates. We use nGinX as the RP and that all seems to be fine. It just doesn't want to authenticate me (or anyone else).
See below part of log file from my iPad that shows an error on the FE server.

Hi,
Did the sip address name match with User Principle Name?
If not, when you enter the login information please also populate the Username filed using the format domainusername and test again.
Here is a blog may help you, it is for Lync server 2010 but similar for Lync server 2013:

Windows 2008 Server and Windows 8 clients

Hey Guys,
I have had this problem for sometime now and really need a solution. I have Windows 2008 Enterprise Server running about 200+ terminal services clients. All Windows XP clients are fine, Windows 7 clients have issues when they get an updated version of
remote desktop client(to solve the issue we simply rollback the update), Windows 8 clients cannot connect and use out remote app. The issue stems from the newer version of remote desktop client (on windows 7 and embedded in windows 8) cannot connect to our
terminal server and generates an error and immediately disconnects. The error says "
Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want
to connect to
So my questions are, how can i update my Windows 2008 Terminal server version to support these clients, or do u have migrate to Windows 2012? Or is there a solution to my current problem which will allow my client to connect and use the remoteapps?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please follow the below steps and verify result.
LAN manager authentication level settings (Local security policy->Local Policies->Security Options->Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication level).
Try to change it to "Send NTLMv2 response only"
Snap:
If still face the issue please install this Hotfix.
RDS client computer cannot connect to the RDS server by using a remote desktop connection in Windows

System Center Ops Mgr
Health configuration in Lync Server 2013 is built around System Center Operations Manager and the use of Lync Server Management Packs. These Management Packs include a number of new features and enhancements, including:
Feature
Description
Synthetic Transactions
Windows PowerShell cmdlets that can be run from various locations to ensure that end user scenarios such as sign-in, presence, IM, and conferencing are readily available to end users.
Call Reliability Alerts
Database queries for Call Detail Records (CDR). These records are written by Front End Servers to reflect whether end users were able to connect to a call or why a call was terminated. These queries result in alerts that indicate when a wide range of end
users are experiencing connectivity issues for peer-to-peer calls or basic conferencing functionality.
Media Quality Alerts
Database queries that look at Quality of Experience (QoE) reports published by clients at the end of each call. These queries result in alerts that pinpoint scenarios where users are likely to be experiencing poor media quality during calls and conferences.
The data is built upon key metrics such as packet latency and loss, metrics that are known to directly contribute to call quality.
Component Health
Individual server components raise alerts by using event logs and performance counters. These alerts indicate failure conditions that can severely impact one or more end user scenarios. These alerts can also indicate a variety of other failure conditions,
including services not running, high failure rates, high message latency, or connectivity issues.
Dependency Health
Failures can occur for a variety of external reasons. The management packs now monitor and collect data for some of the critical external dependencies that might indicate severe issues, including IIS availability, CPU and memory usage of servers and processes,
and disk metrics.

Lync 2013 client is deployed but user accounts are not migrated from OCS to Lync 2013 Server - how to open Lync meetings automatically in the Lync Web Plug-in

We have in our enterprise the following scenario:
1 - Lync 2013 client is installed
2 - User accounts are not migrated to Lync 2013 Server, users are using Office Communicator as their main tool
3 - Users receive Lync 2013 meeting requests but when try to access them, Lync 2013 client launches and shows error. Users will need to open the browser and paste the URL to the address bar but this still open
4 - We cannot use the workaround of adding "?SL=1" to the Lync 2013 meeting URL as the user base is large and manual workaround is not accepted
5 - Question: is there any automated way, via egistry key or GPO setting, so that users temporarily (until their accounts are migrated to Lync 2013 server) can bypass Lync 2013 client completely and automatically open all Lync 2013 meetings
on the browser, using Lync Web Plug-in?

Thanks for the response,
First, I should have mentioned clearly that users have Office Communicator 2007 client and Lync 2013 client installed in their machines. Their accounts are not migrated yet to Lync 2013 server.
Second, we are using IE9 and IE10. The issue is that users CAN join Lync 2013 meetings with their browsers but have to paste the URL manually to browser and add "?SL=1" otherwise, if they just click at the "Join Online Meeting" or "Join
Lync Meeting" URL it launches Lync 2013 client which shows error because is not configured yet, as they are using OCS client and migrating slowly to Lync 2013 server.
Is there a Group Policy setting or a registry key from Microsoft that can be turned on to these users machines and make will all Lync meeting requests to be opened in IE browser instead of Lync 2013 client. We need a way to ignore
Lync 2013 client until user accounts are migrated to Lync 2013 Server. Manually typing URLs is not an option in a big organization, can't explain thousands of users of different levels what to do.
We are regretting the decision not to separate Lync 2013 from Office 2013 package we deployed recently. If Lync 2013 is uninstalled then all Lync meeting requests are opened in browser without an issue.

RDWeb Server 2008 R2 and WIndows 8.1 Clients

Hi
I have an issue with RDWeb and Windows 8.1 clients. Works fine with Windows 7 and Windows 8 clients, yet 8.1 is a no go. I can log on to RDWeb, display the available apps for the logged on user, but when trying to connect to an app it never loads. If I click
'Show Details' on the app, I can see the desktop load but then that is it. Screenshot below is when I try to launch Sage. Sits at the blue desktop screen.
I have tried compatibility mode in IE to no avail. I found a post on here where a user was having similar issues. I tried her fix, but again, nothing.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
I am afraid to say but still there is no any Hotfix for this, but you ca try December 2014 updates might it get it work for you.
December 2014 update rollup for Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2

How to Generate 250 Users Conference using Lync 2013 Stress and Performance Tool

How to Generate 250 Users N-way IM Conference using Lync 2013 Stress and Performance Tool.
Please Let know the configurations to generate the XMLs. We are not able to create more than 70 users N-way IM conference though during configuration, we opted for 300 users conference for Large Conference (in custom setting).
The tool somehow does not create the number of participants as indicated. Is there any way to troubleshoot why it's not generating the expected load.

Hi,
Would you please elaborate more about your Lync environment?
Please check if you meet the following configuration requirements:
Set the MaxMeetingSize option to 1000. (The default is 250.)
Set the AllowLargeMeetings option to True.
Set the EnableAppDesktopSharing option to None.
Set the AllowUserToScheduleMeetingsWithAppSharing option to False.
Set the AllowSharedNotes option to False.
Set the AllowAnnotations option to False.
Set the DisablePowerPointAnnotations option to True.
Set the AllowMultiview option to False.
Set the EnableMultiviewJoin option to False.

HTTP Server for Windows 64 bit not on the companion CD

Hi,
I cannot find the HTTP Server for Windows 64 bit on the companion CD. Any idea where I can get it from? For the 32bit version the HTTP Server is on the Companion CD.
Thanks in advance,
Florin

If i am correct reason should be : Oracle Application Server 10g will run as a 32-bit application
Following platforms have the same media in either case:
Microsoft Windows 32-bit and EM64T/AMD64
(Not Itanium-64, which is separate and referred to as "Windows 64-bit")
Linux x86 and Linux x86-64
Solaris Sparc 32-bit and Solaris Sparc 64-bit
As the Oracle Application Server 10g will be run as a 32-bit application. See the Installation Guide or readme files for any specific steps on these 64-bit platforms.
Refer the Note.433061.1 - How to Obtain Application Server 10g Media, Patchsets, and Patches

Lync 2011 for MAC and Lync 2013 Server Std

Hello,
We are using a Lync 2013 Std (single-server) as a POC. It works fine for Windows-clients but I cannot connect using Lync 2011 for MAC from any MAC machine.
Using automatic configuration, I cannot connect to the Lync server.
Using manual configuration (I tried putting in just the server name and adding port 5061 to it, both to no avail) I keep getting 'Sign in to Lync failed. Please verify your credentials and try again.'.
Lync server is on the latest CU version with all components, MAC clients are on update 140321.
I noticed that Lync tries to create the OC_keycontainer_username@domain, but it seems not te be created. It flashes by and disappears again when the client fails to login. I have imported the Lync server certificate, issued by our windows 2012
root CA, on the Mac clients and have stored it in the 'Login' container.
Does anybody know if Lync2011 for Mac is supported for use with Lync server 2013 Std?
Cheers

Hi,
To clear cached data and corrupted certificates in Lync, you can do the following steps:
First, delete the following folders:
Users/Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.Lync
Users/Home Folder/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Microsoft Lync History
Then, delete any corrupted or cached certificates. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open the Keychain Access certificate management utility. To do this, in Finder, click Applications, click Utilities, and then click Keychain Access. Or, search for Keychain Access by using Spotlight.
2. In the left pane, click login, and then click Certificates.
3. In the right pane, find a certificate that's named Unknown or Communications Server, select it, and then delete it.
Note: You may have to unlock your keychain by using your password.
4. Close Keychain Access.
5. Restart Lync for Mac.
You can refer to Lync Mac for Lync Server online, but similar for Lync on-premises:

Some Users cannot login via Lync 2013 windows client

Hi,
I have a Lync 2013 FrontEnd server, DB server and Edge Server.
Since last noon we are facing a mysterious issue. Its as below.
( I have just entered into Lync administration)
User A and User B, both were able to login to lync till yesteday noon on their individual PC, any PC or mobile (windows, android, mac) with any version of Lync client, inside and outside the organization.
Last noon User A reported that he is facing an issue that whenever he logs in to lync 2013 client he is automatically logged off in 2 to 3 seconds. Then again logs in automatically and again loggs off in 2-3 seconds. and thats all is happening again and
again. The message he is is getting after he is logged off is "The connection to the server was lost
. Reconnecting. Current calls may continue, but with reduced functionality".
But at the same time he was able to login from other computer and his mobile device. At the same time, User B is not facing any issue on his machine.
Then User A tried to login from the User B's computer and there also he faced same issue. Then i asked User B to login on computer of User A and what i see is User B is able to login on User A's computer.
What is concluded from the observation is, User A cannot login from lync client 2013 from any computer inside and outside of my network and can login from any other client/version/platform inside or outside of my network.
What i checked for is Client Version Policy of User A and User B, but both are same (Automatic). Below is my client version policy and i am using client version 15.0.4605.1000
In Sing In Logs. (By Right click on system tray icon of lync) i got below information.
Error-1
In Windows 8, event viewer i am getting only Event ID 1 or 12 which says, "
The description for Event ID 12 from source Lync cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Lync
Thanks, Rishi Pandit.

The issue has been resolved by removing an entry from "Trusted Application Server". This application server was being used for Polycom VC infrastructure integration with Lync.
As per Task 4 section in
Polycom and Lync Integration Documentation we have to use below-
http://support.polycom.com/global/documents/support/strategic_partner_solutions/Polycom_UC_Microsoft_Deployment_W8.pdf
Use the New-CsStaticRoute command to set up a static route for the RealPresence
Collaboration Server system.
$route = New-CsStaticRoute -TLSRoute -destination rmx.corp.local
-port 5061 -matchuri sipdomain.com -usedefaultcertificate $true
where rmx.corp.local is the FQDN of the RealPresence Collaboration Server SIP signaling
domain and sipdomain.com is the name of the Trusted Application Pool you created.
but this was wrong.
we used sip.domain.com and issue got resolved. Polycom forgot one (.) dot between sip and domain.com which ruined us.
Thanks.
Thanks, Rishi Pandit.

Lync 2013 Edge and Reverse proxy on same server with SNI

Hello
I cannot find information if it is possible to create a single Lync 2013 Edge server with a Reverse proxy on the same server?
Would it not be possible to share port 443 with SNI support? That way we could use only one public IP?
Thanks!

Sorry, it doesn't work. Remember that 443 isn't HTTPS for the Edge. If you went with the single IP model for the edge, 443 would be used for the A/V role which would be STUN/TURN.
The edge will always want to listen on 443, it just doesn't work to collocate a reverse proxy.
