Client support on Mavericks (OSX 10.9) for Lync 2011 with Lync Server 2013

It was just pointed out to me by Microsoft Product Support that Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks) operating system is not currently supported by Microsoft. See the paragraph entitled Macintosh Operating Systems in this link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412781.aspx
Does anyone in the Lync community know when it will be supported?

Nothing that I've heard. Having said that although unsupported it seems to work fine (well no worse than it did on 10.8 with its intermittent crashing for no reason) I've been running it on Mavericks pretty much daily since October last year and am running
14.0.7 of Lync 2011.
I have seen a few people report issues though mainly inability to download/search the address book, but not sure if these are related. (although the reports say it's after they upgraded)

What are the supported feature for LYNC Server 2013 WITHOUT Telephony

Hi
I have a new customer who is asking for LYNC Server 2013 without to use VoIP Support.
The would like to use the LYNC-SKYPE connectivity but without LYNC calls.
Most of their internal users are using SKYPE.
The Question is now, what Features are possible for example:
FEATURE-LIST
See other’s presence
Manage own presence
See presence in Office
Contact management
Contact card
PC-PC and multiparty IM
PC-PC and multiparty file transfer
Persistent Chat
PC-to-PC computer audio calling
PC-to-PC computer video calling
PC-to-PC presence display, IM, audio, and video with Skype users
But what of the above feature list is possible without using VoIP ??
And how works that LYNC WebApp Client without VoIP? Is it possible to route Audio/Video over the internet by using that LYNC WebApp Client in LYNC 2013??
Thanks in advance ;-)
Kind regards
Michael

All of that is possible without PSTN connectivity or the plus cal.
When you say VoIP, do you mean audio chatting over TCP/IP in the purest form, or do you mean specifically telephone calls?
Technially PC-to-PC computer audio calling is VoIP, or voice over IP, but if you're talking about connecting it to a PBX or the phone network, you don't need it for any of the above. It works wonderfully and is quite a bit cheaper without it due to
fact that you won't need to license the plus cal for enterprise voice or the Exchange enterprise cal for voicemail.

Deploy licences for Lync server 2013

Hi Guys,
How can i apply or how to put the Licences on Lync server 2013 i have a test lab Lync Server 2013 and i want to put the License on it how to do that? or is it possible i need another installation for it?
Thank you,
This forum really helps a lot.

Agree with Anthony, the only other scenario is if you want to upgrade from the Evaluation to the full version in which case you need a copy of the full version media and follow the steps below:
Insert or mount your full version media on your Lync server.
Open Lync Server Management Shell
Run Get-CsServerVersion to display the current version
Run msiexec /fvomus server.msi EVALTOFULL=1 /qb
You may be prompted to specify the location of server.msi (which can be found in the Setup\amd64\Setup\ folder on your installation media.
Run Get-CsServerVersion to confirm the conversion was successful.
Run Enable-CsComputer

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?

SQL Server Sizing for Lync Server 2013

Hi,
We are planning to install Lync Server 2013 with 800 users, but I can find any information about the SQL Server instance sizing.
Can anyone give me an estimation or prior experience with similar installations? I need to know Disk size, memory an CPU number.
Thanks in advance.

There are a few variables to consider. Are you turning on monitoring, archiving, and is enterprise voice enabled? Is persistent chat enabled? Is it virtualized? Is this Lync enterprise edition or standard with a portion of the
databases hosted on full SQL? Are you required to retain any information or logs for a specific amount of time? Are you keeping SQL backups local with maintenance plans and for how long?
I would suggest not going below 16GB for a SQL Server, but you may not need much more. If it's virtual I'd throw 4 cores at it at least and disk space will vary based upon what you're doing and how long you want to keep things. Thick provision
those drives and make sure the logs and databases are on separate partitions.

Web based client for lync server 2013 , only for IM/presence

Hi,
for 20000 users, 4 FE servers, HA . only for IM/presence , looking for web/browser based client so that there will not be any need of thick client installation. is there any way? thanks

if i integrate lync 2013 with exchange 2013 OWA, wil reverse proxy or Edge server will come into picture?
If you have users who are external to your network , then yes Edge server and reverse proxy will come into the picture.
will integration of lync 2013 with exchange 2013 provide the following
one-to-one, one-to-many chat. ?
Yes
archiving of chats at server side.
you need to install archiving server for lync .
Instant messaging should support rich text, emoticons.
Yes
Instant Messaging/ Chat should provide file transfer facility.
Yes
instant Messaging/chat should provide rich client and web client.
i guess the first question is the same thing
The mail messaging solution should have administrative control for file transfer.
Exchange server wont control file transfer. You have client policies applied through Lync server for
this.
I hope you have seen this link for information related to Lync clients.

Question on latest CU for Lync Server 2013

Trying to follow KB http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2809243 regarding the August 2014 CU for Lync 2013. First, we have 3 Lync 2013 servers in a single enterprise pool and one persistent chat server which is separate. We use an enterprise edition SQL server
to store the databases which is mirrored.
Question is in Step 2, which commands should I be running?
What does the FEBE.FQDN in the command below mean?
Install-CsDatabase -ConfiguredDatabases -SqlServerFqdn FEBE.FQDN -VerboseI think in my particular configuration, all I need to do is run the command below just once?Install-CsDatabase -ConfiguredDatabases -SqlServerFqdn SQLServer.FQDN -VerboseI realize everyone has different configurations so they try to give you all the possible|
options but they make it confusing when they list multiple commands and abreviations that don't
Mmake sense.
Also, is it necessary to run setup step 2 again on all the FE server? Article never mentions it.

Hi,
FEBE.FQDN is the fully qualified name of the server that hosts your back end database (Front End Back End DB)
You are correct, regarding step two you only need to run the single command as your persistent chat is separate, and all other databases are collocated.
Kind regards
Ben

How to put Mediation Server on Maintenance Mode for LYNC server 2013

how to put the LYNC 2013 Mediation server on Maintenance mode???

Hi,
Did you solve the issue with the help the people above provided?
If you mean server draining feature you can also check Topology option on Lync Server Control Panel, on Topology interface, click “Action” and there is an action called “Prevent new sessions for service”.
Here is a similar case may help you:

This is for Lync Server 2013

Hi,
My organization are having some issues with phone numbers replicating from AD to Lync 2013. Up to 2 weeks ago this worked fine no issues, all of a sudden it just stopped. The AD field we use is telephoneNumber. There is nothing obvious
in the logs etc. It looks like normalisation is disabled/set to false. When trying to verify the topology there are errors see below. Is it possible that someone changed the share permissions on the LyncAddressShare folder, could
this be causing the issue. There was one other thing. I changed my title on AD and after deleting my sip folder locally this replicated no issue. Any suggestions would be very helpful
Warning: Unable to access share permissions for "\\XXXXXXXXXXXXXX\LyncAddressShare". This is expected if you are not an administrator on the file server, or if this is a Distributed File System (DFS) share. If the share permissions
have already been configured, this warning can be ignored. If it is a new share, refer to the documentation for details on manually configuring share permissions.

Thanks for the help so far on this. There are 2 event logs that occur just after an sync
The front end no longer owns the task and is therefore shutting down.
Cause: SQL Connectivity issues.
Resolution:
Verify that the RTCService account has access to the database and that the machine running the Lync Server Front-End service has connectivity to the back-end server.
Unable to create output file.
Path: '\\XXXXXXX\LyncAddressShare\1-WebServices-1\ABFiles\00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\F-128e.dabs'
Exception: The process cannot access the file '\\XXXXXXX\LyncAddressShare\1-WebServices-1\ABFiles\00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\F-128e.dabs.tmp' because it is being used by another process.
Cause: Either the path is inaccessible or the Address Book Server does not have the correct permissions to create the file.
Resolution:
Examine the details in the associated event log entry to determine the reason and the possible cause.
Seems like permission issues somewhere?

Telephone numbers (officePhone and homePhone) are missing in a contact card in a Lync Server 2013-based Lync mobile client

In my opinion, the error has not completely fixed in KB2967628. After I install the latest November 2014 cumulative
update. I see the following behavior. User A searches for user B. User B never sign in to the Link. There are three fields in the active directory for User B: officePhone, mobilePhone and homePhone (these fields contain different numbers). When searching on
the mobile client (Android/IOS) for user B – as result user A see only mobile number. If User B At least once will go to Link (sign in) when his search will work, (find officePhone). If User B will change, the privacy settings for user A is in the search will
be displayed homePhone field.
On the Desktop client,
I can find all the fields without those actions performed in the example. If I make a request
to the service UCWA manually like this (below
the text) before
actions, which I performed in example, I did not receive officePhone and homePhone – only mobilePhone field.
GET "https://lync.domainname:443/ucwa/oauth/v1/applications/XXXX/people/search?query=$usename$&limit=200" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: $USENAMETOKEN$"

Hi,
Based on your description, I’m sorry I’m a little confused about the following you mentioned. I understand the issue is we can only see the mobile number in the contact card on Lync mobile client and that we can search for users based on their office number,
we can see the home phone field in the contact card but there isn’t number showing. I anything I have misunderstood, please feel free to let us know.
“When searching on the mobile client (Android/IOS) for user B – as result user A see only mobile number. If User B At least once will go to Link (sign in) when his search will work, (find officePhone). If User B will
change, the privacy settings for user A is in the search will be displayed homePhone field.”
According to the KB29677628, this issue is caused by UCWA only sending the work number, and we need to install the update for web components server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2967628/en-us
August 2014 Cumulative Update 5.0.8308.738 for Lync Server 2013, web components server

2 Problems using lync client andriod conncet to lync server 2013 ( contacts status is Presence Unkhown)

Hello Everybody
I have installed lync server 2013 in my lab . Everything is ok . but internal mobile client in my LAN can not work with lync !
I installed lync server 2013.
I create 2 DNS record to lync-server : lyncdiscoverinternal and lyncdiscover.
clients on PC (windows) work and everything is ok . when user use Anroid phone , cleint connect to lync server and list connnact list .BUT when Send IM to contact or start video call come this error :
" Failed to process the server response.Please try again . if the problem persists,contact your support team."
This is first problem. Another problem is the contact list for every user status is "Presence Unkhown" !
No online , No Offline and all of contact status "Presence Unkhown" !
If i had to config mobility in in lync server 2013 ? or mobility service built-in in lync server 2013 ?
please help me .

Hi Meysam Halvaei,
As Thamara mentioned, you need to deploy reverse proxy.
Lync 2013 mobility clients are using a separate dedicated Ucwa parameter the URL is the same web services location as provided by the
External/Ucwa parameter.
You need to have a look at the following diagram.
The Lync 2013 mobile client will need to connect with the external web services. The way Lync is designed this communication is always established using HTTPS/TCP 443, so the traffic
will need to pass through a reverse proxy or similar service that will take this communication and forward it to the server hosting the external web services, now using port 4443 instead.
Best regards,
Eric

What port number for Desktop Sharing using in Lync Server 2013 and Lync Online

Dear All,
My environment using Lync Server 2013 and Lync online on Office 365. I don't want my user using Desktop Sharing feature. then I need to know what port number for Desktop Sharing using in Lync Server 2013 and Lync Online.
I will deny this port on personal firewall each client.
Thank you for your advise.

Hi,
I'm not sure you'd be able to do this with ports without impacting other application sharing features such as Q&A, Whiteboard, Poll etc - I'm pretty sure they all come under the same umbrella of ClientAppSharing.
Ordinarily you would create or modify your conferencing policy to restrict sharing to single programs only using a cmdlet similar to below;
Set-CsConferencingPolicy -Identity "Global" -EnableAppDesktopSharing SingleApplication
This would disable desktop sharing but enable users to continue sharing other single programs. If you want to remove that functionality too, then replace the 'SingleApplication' parameter with 'None'. Then users won't be able to share any programs either.
This is the correct way to do it as the icons will be greyed out for the users. Doing it your way, they would still be able to click them, and it would throw an error - this will lead to a lot more support calls and people assuming a service is broken.
I hope that helps some.
Kind regards
Ben
