Certificate Requirement for Lync 2013 Standard Edition

I have successfully run the setup of lync 2013 standard edition now I am stuck due to certificates required for lync 2013. when I generate a csr. it show the subjected urls for that.
hostname.domain.com
sip.domain.com
diali.domain.com
meet.domain.com
admin.domain.com
lyncdiscover.domain.com
lyncdiscoverinternal.domain.com
im.domain.com (External URL)
so if I go for 3 party CA then I need 8 certicate only for internal lync. As I also need to connected federated partner and external user so I need Edge for again I need 3 more certificates
web.domain.com
a/v.domain.com
sip.domain.com
now when I go for these certificate it quit costly and I didn't understand why such certifcates required. can anyone help me to fix such requirement.
Or, what are the necessary url to which I buy 3 party CA rest leave as it is.
I also want to deploy Edge with single adopter as we have only one network so can anyone assist me to proceed it further.

To save on the cost of your third party certificates, I would deploy an internal certificate authority to sign certificates for your internal front end. For your third party certificate, you would only need the SANs for the edge and for your
reverse proxy and as Edwin said, this can be a single cert with multiple SANs.
For example, for your edge you would need:
sip.domain.com
web.domain.com
You would not need A/V as this role does not require a SAN on your certificate. On the same certificate, which you could also use on your reverse proxy, you'd likely want the following FQDNs.
lyncdiscover.domain.com
im.domain.com (your external web services FQDN)
meet.domain.com
dialin.domain.com
You may also want to consider your internal web services FQDN and include the following so third party mobile devices can connect without needing a certificate installed:
im_internal.domain.com (your internal web services FQDN)
lyncdiscoverinternal.domain.com
I'm sure that's not entirely clear yet, so feel free to ask more questions or what the purpose of each is.
When you say Edge with a single adapter, you mean a single adapter in a DMZ or internal? You definably want two NICS, both in separate DMZs, but I've managed to get the edge working with a single adapter in a DMZ before. What you don't want is
the edge in your internal network.

Lync 2013 Standard Edition on Cisco UCS E-Series

Hello,
We have a working Lync 2013 deployment:
- Front-End Enterprise Pool consisting of 3 FE servers
- one Edge Server
- one Back-End server
- one Mediation Server
- one IP PBX gateway, where ITSP's SIP trunks end.
Because we have geographically distributed offices, we are considering deploying of branch offices deployments.
Technet recommends to use SBA for branch offices where there are less than 1000 users. But in case of WAN outage, no conferencing will be available for branch users.
Lync 2013 Standard edition branch deployment would offer all Lync features in case of WAN outage.
In every branch, we consider deploying a Cisco ISR G2 router for terminating branch SIP trunks. This equipment have option to add Cisco UCS E-Series blade that supports CPU with hardware virtualization and supports decent amount of RAM (up to 16GB and up
to 48GB).
Have anyone experience with deploying Lync Standard Edition on this equipment - Cisco UCS E-Series blades? In every branch office there are up to 50 - 500 users that will use Lync.
Thanks,
Andrei Moraru Endava

Hi,
I don’t think you can deploy Lync server 2013 on Cisco UCS E-Series blades.

Lync 2013 standard edition server disadvantages

I have 3000 users, client is so cost effective , wanna insisting on Lync 2013 standard edition server. no enterprise voice
Feature required :- IM.presence, A/V conf, persistence chat, external access.
planned servers :- 1 Standard server in DC, 1 in DR. 1 edge server in DC and 1 in DR
1. if i make a pool of standard servers, then will it serve as HA, if yes how much time wil take for failover and what would be the impact on users?
2. If complete DC is down how mch time would take for fail-over and what is the procedure, impact on users?
3. can i collocate persistence chat role on standard edition? any limitation? how backend sizing would be for persistence chat as sql express would be there
4. can i suggest any better solution with standard servers where HA in DC .

For 3000 users Standard Edition will be fine. Use the capacity planner to size out your environment. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36828
1. It won't really serve as HA, as pool pairing is the only option it's more of a DR solution. The RTO for a pool failover is 30mins. So it could take anywhere up to 30mins. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205079.aspx
2. Same as above. Here is how you failover http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204678.aspx
3. Yes, you can co-locate Persistent Chat on the Front End with Standard Edition. If sized correctly, there should be no performance issues.
4. The only option with Standard is Pool Pairing, so no better suggestions.

Lync 2013- Standard Edition - Persistent Chat

What is the capacity of the Persistent Chat if it is collocated on Lync 2013 Standard edition front end ?
ie, number of chat rooms /usage?
In a Lync 2013 standard edition deployment if Persistent Chat is on separate server, can the SQL be offloaded to central SQL cluster enviornment or it will be held on the local server?

I haven't seen a chart that really defines the capacity, and it's difficult to measure because it's difficult to say how active the rooms will be or how much content you'll generate. That much is different from organization to organization.
There are some guidelines in general here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg615006(v=ocs.15).aspx but they don't really touch the standard model.
The pChat database can be offloaded to a central SQL cluster if you'd prefer, there are no requirements to collocate it with the local Lync databases.

Bandwidth required for Lync 2013 audio video call

Hi,
what is the required bandwidth required for lync 2013 audio video call from out side of company network. considering users will use owa integration with exchange 2013 for audio video call.
i tried with lync bandwidth calculator but could not figure it out.
actually i have some remote site where users have connectivity of 160 kbps only.

There are a number of variables such as call type and video resolution, but I would suggest using this table as a guide:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj688118.aspx
For example for capacity purposes with a Lync peer-to-peer call you're looking at 57Kbps (86 with FEC)

For meeting the loadbalance requirements for LYNC 2013 FE SERVER, which features will be necessary for HLB ?

I has read the deployment guide from some vendors, such as A10 networks and coyotepoint, it seems that HLB will have the ability to load balance the lync flow when it support L4_VS, least-connections method, source_ip
persistence, as follows
VIP
Single VIP exposed through ARP
Source Address Affinity
Enabled
TCP Idle Time-Out Interval
1800 sec
Balancing Algorithm
Least-Connections-Based
TCP Resets on Idle
Enable
My first questions is: need the source_ip_persistence among these L4_VS be shared ?
For example, there are two FE servers, they are FE-1, FE-2
HLB has two L4_VS, they are VS_5061, VS_443 (of course, the vs will be more in real case)
When client-1 access vs_5061, HLB will dispatch the request to FE-1 according to method, ok, after a while, if client-1 try to access vs_443, will this
connections have to be dispatched to the same RS ( FE-1) ?
Except that this question, there are any other requirement have to be support for HLB ? such as SNAT ? such as anying else ...
I doesn't know the real communication theory about lync server, so hope anyone could help me, it is very appreciated

For the other port with HLB, I saw the depolyment from F5 networks, A10 networks( which are HLB vendor), the following link is one scheme from A10
http://www.a10networks.com/resources/files/A10-DG-Microsoft_Lync_2013.pdf
So I feel that
A. The other port should be able to be loadbalanced by HLB
B. The HLB can do it with the only L4 ability
In fact, I come from the vendor too, I want to know whether our new product (which is one type of HLB) could support LYNC, want to know any potential requirement when deploy HLB to lync.
In other words, if our produce has the ability as follows
VIP
Single VIP exposed through ARP
Source Address Affinity
Enabled
TCP Idle Time-Out Interval
1800 sec
Balancing Algorithm
Least-Connections-Based
TCP Resets on Idle
Enable
Will it have the ability to support the LYNC (not just 80 and 443) ?

Licensed required for LYNC 2013, Sql, Edge

for 1500 users for IM presence, audio video, HA, DR, archive
proposed design :- archive collacted with backend,
DC:- 2 FE server, 2 Edge server, 2 Sql Mirrored,
DR :- 1 FE, 1 Edge, 1 SQL
is there any flaw in sizing?
Licenses :- 3 FE license, (FE in DR will need license as it is passive?)
3 SQL licenses :- how to calculate it per core, in my case how much core and how many licenses required?
thx

Yes, you'll need 3 Lync licenses (you only license the front end and passive will need to be licensed).
For SQL, yes 3 servers. This article will help calculate your core licensing:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/licensing-by-cores.aspx
Sizing is fine provided everything has adequate resources. 3 FEs in the DC pool is recommended.

Do we need License for Lync 2013 Edge server?

Hello Team,
We are currently running Lync 2013 Standard Edition Server. We are planning to enable users for External access and planning to deploly Lync 2013 edge server.
1. Do we need License for Lync 2013 Edge server?
2. Any other client licenses needed?
Please advise.

Hi,
No you don't required any additional License in order to install Lync Edge server. the only license required at OS level i mean windows server licence in terms of Lync concern you don't require any additional License
check this

http://lyncuc.blogspot.in/2013/02/lync-2013-licensing-guide-how-to.html
And for client also you don't require any additional license with your existing client license will work for externally as well

Lync 2013 Standard backup questions

Hello
I need to backup our Lync 2013 Standard Edition setup.
We have Only one server atm.
Looking at this post for inspiration:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2014/06/28/weekend-scripter-basic-lync-server-2013-backup-and-restore-part-1.aspx
As far as i can understand, i don't need to do SQL backup at all? Or am i missing the point?
Would I be able to restore my Lync from these 3 commands:
Export-CSConfiguratiom, Export-CSLisConfiguration and Export-CsUserData - Is that enough for a disasterrecovery?
And a bonus question:
When i run Export-CSLisConfiguration . The export only contains the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<LisDatabase xmlns="urn:schema:Microsoft.Rtc.Lis.Database.2008"/>
Is that not incomplete somehow?

That much would get you back up and running, yes. But it may not be a "full" restore.
For example, if you have persistent chat data, it wouldn't necessarily be included in there. If you have an archiving database where all IMs are sent, that information wouldn't be in the PowerShell exports above. If you don't have a copy of the
certificate and private key, that's lost.
Typically, I run my own custom version of Lasse's backup script https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Backup-script-for-Lync-2013-aacbb9b9
That pulls all the data, including your file stores, SQL exports, certificates, and everything into a single folder and zips it for you. If you back those zips up, you'll have most everything.
Restoring directly back into SQL isn't the recommended method, if you did need to get back up you'd want to follow standard restore procedures by using the supported PowerShell, but you'll have other avenues to restore if needed and a more complete copy
of your data.
The LIS export may be complete if you don't have any Lync locations defined. You'd typically enter these for 911 purposes.
Check out Lasse's Channel 9 video as well:

HLB for Lync Server 2013 Standard Edition

Hi Guys,
I am planning to add an additional new Lync Central site with paired Lync Server 2013 standard edition in Primary and DR data centers. with 1 or 2 OWAS Servers in each DCs. No Edge
server in this new Lync central site as we already have an Edge pool in another central site for federation. Only IM & P and Conferencing, no External Access, Mobility and EV.
My question is, for LS2013 Standard edition paired pools in the new Lync Central site. should I use HLB or DNS LB should be ok? as technically we do not have any HA here only DR.
Any advantage using HLB over DNS LB in LS2013 Standard edition?
Thanks for your help.
Cheer....

You typically wouldn't need HLB with standard edition at all. What were you planning to accomplish?

Lync 2013 standard server for 3000

Planning to deploy Lync 2013 standard server for 3000 users, IM/presence, Audio/video, persistence chat, monitoring/archive. external access required so 1 edge server in DC and 1 in DR. No enterprise voice. DC and DR are corrected with dark fiber
one lync 2013 standard server in DC and 1 in DR. 1 edge server in DC and 1 Edge server in D R.have couple of queries.
1. can i get HA while doing server pairing in DC and DR?
2. how much time will it take for frontend failover if my frontend server is down in DC.
3. how much time will take for external access failover in DC and DR?
4. are there any potential risks if using standard version instead of enterprise?
Basically client need cost effective solution as lync is not critical for him, does not want to use 3 FE servers in DC and 3 FE in DR to achive HA. want to achieve the solution with standard servers.

1) HA typically refers to automatic failover, so not with Standard edition, but you can get manual failover with this with nearly full functionality.
2) Again, this is manual, but once invoked less than 20 minutes I'd think, possibly faster, only testing invoke-failover will tell you for sure but it won't be too bad.
3) This involves a topology change to change the federation route, possibly next hop for the edge, and possibly media path for a front end pool. That can be completed and replicated in under a minute. You may want to point your external simple
URLs and such (lyncdiscover) at the remaining server, this may be a DNS change to point to a separate reverse proxy. Your _sipfederationtls._tcp SRV record can have a lower matching partner as well, but I typically prefer to keep low TTLs on the external
DNS records so they can be changed quickly.
4) Sure, no automatic failover, your scalability is limited without building out new pools later, no SQL backend that can be mirrored for a bit more resiliency. But again, you can manually failover without issue, you just have to be able to tolerate
a short outage.
Technically, you'd only need 1 FE in the DR site. You have to match Ent/Ent or Std/Std in a pool pair, but the number of servers don't need to match. Still, the HLB and SQL requirements can be costly so I understand this.

Lync 2013 standard number of Backends required and pool paring setup?

Hi
I am in the process of putting together a lync 2013 implementation. The plan is to use lync 2013 standard as IM and Presence are the only requirement we have approx. 3000 users
we have two sites
Site A (Primary)
x 2 FE-A1 FE-A2 Lync 2013
x1 BE-A1 Lync 2013
Site B (D.R)
X 2 FE-B1 FE-B2 Lync 2013
X1 BE-B1 Lync 2013
what I want to know is
1. If Site A has two FE servers each will require there own pool if I pair FE-A1 with FE-A2 can I also pair FE-A1 with FE-B1 and the same for 2?
2. Can the servers FE-A1 and FE-A2 use the same BE server or should I be using a separate server for each?
3. In this design I was thinking of using two edge servers 1 at each site that would be published using TMG, would this be correct, this would be for IPhone mobile users to use.
thanks in advance
J

1) If site A has to FE servers, and you go with Standard edition, they would be their own pools. If you wanted HA you could put three enterprise servers together into a single pool and load balance them. If you pair FE-A1 with FE-A2, those
two pools cannot be paired with any other pool. You also can't Pair FE-A1 to FE-A2, then FE-A2 to FE-B1.
2) Your diagram looks like Lync 2013 for the back end, it would actually be SQL, and this would specifically apply if you're using Lync enterprise. If the Lync front end servers are in the same pool, they can use the same backend, if they're not they
need separate back ends.
3) Edge servers would be published with a standard firewall, if TMG is your firewall that would work. If TMG is only being used as a reverse proxy, you would use it to publish your web services on your front end servers. Either way, you'll need
to also publish the web services on your front end servers to the Internet for mobile clients to function.

Lync 2013 standard deployment: Exchange 2010 Sharepoint 2010 and outlook 2007 collaboration

HI
I have Exchange 2010 and sharepoint 2010 with all our user using outlook 2007. what options do I have for collaborations between these systems if I was to install Lync 2013. I have seen posts that mention that you cannot use outlook 2007 and lync 2013 and
that you would be better off installing the lync 2010 client?
1. would we be covered from a licensing point of view if we had bought lync 2013 cals but install the lync 2010 software on desktops?
2. what Cals do we require for presence to be available in SharePoint we currently have standard sharepoint cals?
3. what new features will we loose if we install 2010 lync software.
4. if our mobile users use the 2013 lync software will these be able to communicate with the 2010 users?
thanks
J

Hi,
If you use Lync 2013 client with Outlook, multiple functions will not be achieved, such as: customize Outlook meeting invitations (add logo, help URL, disclaimer, footer text), in Outlook, configure meeting option to mute attendee audio and video by default,
presence status in the Microsoft Outlook To and Cc fields, and so on. As Lync 2013 is the part of Office 2013, the best choice is using Outlook 2013.
More details:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412817.aspx
For the CAL requirement, you can refer to following link:
Lync Licensing Guide
You can refer to the link below of “What’s new for clients in Lync Server 2013” to understand the new features for Lync 2013:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204933.aspx
If you use Lync 2013 mobile clients, you can communicate with 2010 users with no possible.

Questions in setting up Security group policies for Lync 2013 Users

Hi Team,
One of our customer looking for the below requirements:
ü
B>>> Being able to split users in to groups. Would like to be able to split in to Departmental groups, the groups will be Service Delivery, Finance, Business Development, Clinical Services, Radiologists,
SLA Team, Call Handlers.
ü
B>>> Being able to control which users are able to contact or see other users. For example Limit Radiologists to only be able to see Service Delivery and Call Handlers
We know that RBAC policies can be used by Administrator or Technicians who works remotely. However, a user sitting at a server running Lync Server is not restricted by RBAC.
Question:
Is there a way we can fulfill the above customer requirements in Lync 2013 environment?

Hi,
On Lync Server side, what you can do is to change the AD attribute msRTCSIP-GroupingID. You can set different value for different groups. Then each group will not able to search the users in other groups with user name. However, they can still search the
users in other groups with the sip address.
