Current Hardware for Lync 2013 Environment
I am currently running Lync 2013 Enterprise in a test environment and was curious if anyone could share their hardware setup. Total memory used per Front End, Total memory used per Edge, and for how many users. I have run the planning tools to
drill down for our environment but was curious to see other setups. Thanks
Hi Scott,
Are you talking from a physical or virtual environment? The basis of most of the numbers for hardware is based on the amount of Lync users that you'll active on your environment at any given period. With the inclusion of HA/DR improvements, many
places have to "over-build" to get HA. For example:
One physical Lync Server 2013 Enterprise Front-End can have up to 6,600 active users . If you have a company < 6,600, then you would think you would only need one server right? Well, if you want HA, you'll need two (note, MS recommends having
at least three EE FE servers due to Win Fabric).
That same methodology continues when discuss roles like Edge, RP, OWA, etc.

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.

What is best recommendstion for DNS LB for lync 2013 Edge servers
What is best recommendation for DNS LB for lync 2013 Edge servers ?. We have F5 LB for edge and want to decide if we can go with DNS base LB for Edge servers.
Anil MCC 2011,ITIL V3,MCSA 2003,MCTS 2010, My Blog : http://messagingschool.wordpress.comIt will be better to Use Hardware Load balancing (F5).
If you choose to use DNS load balancing for a pool but still need to implement hardware load balancers for traffic such as HTTP traffic, the administration of the hardware load balancers is greatly simplified. For example, configuring the hardware load balancer
will be simpler as it will only manage the HTTP and HTTPS traffic, while all other protocols will be managed by DNS load balancing

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

SQL Cluster requiremnt for Lync 2013
Hi
We are are planning to deploy Lync 2013 enterprise. Planning to use SQL cluster. Would like to clarify whether we must create a sepearte sql instance for Lync 2013 or can we use an existing shared instance to create a seperate database for Lync.
We prefer 2nd approach. Is there any issues or demerits using existing shared SQL instances?
Thanks and regards,
Aboo ArifHi AbooArif.
This kind of question is very common. Basically here is the Microsoft Documentation about it.
Database software support in Lync Server 2013
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398990.aspx
This point is the important: "If you collocate Lync Server databases with other databases, we highly recommend assessing all factors that might affect availability and performance, as well as ensuring that, if one node fails, the remaining node can
handle the load. To verify failover capabilities, we recommend testing all failover scenarios."
We can say the following: It's recommended to use a separate SQL server for Lync, however collating Lync database with other SQL databases will work, but has an high probability of present some performance problems. Many customers prefer to use this option
considering the cost of SQL licenses.
It is important to consider all the hardware requeriments for the Lync Server BackEnd role:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398835.aspx because the normal issue when customers share the SQL server with other instances is due to performance issues. Also note
that if you have multiple front end pools, these cannot share a SQL server.

Issues using IIS 8.5 with ARR 3.0 as Reverse Proxy for Lync 2013
Dear reader, after searching for a day without finding a solution to my problem I end up here ;-)
Working Lync 2013 environment (gradually adding functionality) consisting of 2 FE servers, Persistent Chat Server, Web Apps server, Edge Server, Reverse Proxy Server (IIS 8.5/ARR 3.0), SQL Server.
Set up a fresh Windows 2012 R2 with IIS 8.5, installed ARR 3.0 and followed along this
TechNet article.
So far so good, external clients (incl. mobile phone apps) can all connect.
Now trying to add Web Apps to the reverse proxy, which is slightly different from the others by not forwarding 80/8080 and 443/4443, but just 80 and 443 to internal Web Apps server.
After creating the server farm/URL rewrite, browsing to the webapps.FQDN/hosting/discovery ends up with a 404 error (instead of XML, which is shown when try from the LAN).
After moving this rewrite rule to the top, it started working, but now my lyncdiscover.FQDN stops working.
Ofcourse moving the webapps rule down restores the lyncdiscover.
Any ideas? (everything setup as described in above mentioned TechNet article, so using wildcards. Tried fiddling around with webext.* and lyncdiscover.* and so, but no luck. (I'm completely new to ARR)
Thanks,
BarryCan you confirm that for each URL Rewrite Rule, you have an {http_host} record that matches something like webext.* as you referenced above and as seen in step 15 here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2013/02/19/using-iis-arr-as-a-reverse-proxy-for-lync-server-2013.aspx
It might help if you posted a screenshot of your URL rewrite rules.

OU For Lync 2013 Central Forest deployment when using GAL Sync
Hello,
We are attempting to set up Lync 2013 in a Central Forest configuration. We have a 2 way forest trust in place. The primary forest being A.com, the secondary forest being B.com. Exchange 2010 is deployed in both forests. Lync 2013 is deployed in forest A.com.
We currently have FIM 2010 installed, using GAL Sync between both forests. For GAL Sync, we have an OU in Forest A.com active directory called GALSync. There are currently contacts in that OU that correspond with the user accounts in forest b.com. Here's
my question:
When configuring FIM MA's for Lync 2013 Central Forest deployment, can I point the LCSCFG.xml file to the SAME GALSync OU we use for GAL Sync? Will it see the contacts already exist and just update with the necessary attributes needed to provision
the forest B.com users for Lync? Do I need to create a separate OU for the Lync MA to use? Or, am I going about this in the wrong way?
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank youThanks for the reply Anthony
Almost right. The only difference is that the remote users will get the autodiscover url and the ews url from their local domain and dns.
Here is how it is setup:
Shared public namespace
mycompany.com (email address and sip address use this in both domains)
Central Forest (mycompany.com)
Lync 2013
Exchange 2013
Autodiscover url
autosdiscover.mycompany.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
192.168.10.10
EWS Url
https://mail.mycompany.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
192.168.10.11
Remote Forest (Fabrikam.com)
Lync 2010
Exchange 2010
Autodiscover url
autosdiscover.mycompany/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
192.168.11.23
EWS Url
https://mail.mycompany.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
192.168.11.24
User in Fabrikam login locally with their Fabrikam credentials. They have a Lync enabled contact in mycompany. There is a 2 way trust in place. They login to mycompany Lync fine.
When they do the autodiscover DNS lookup, they return the same autodiscover and EWS url, but they point to the local Exchange 2010 since their mailbox and user account still resides there and that is the system that the Fabrikam account has access to.
Autodiscover works fine for Outlook.

Physical cpu to virtual cpu ratio for LYNC 2013 FE
what
should be the physical cpu to virtual cpu ratio for LYNC 2013 FE and Edge server, it is same like exchange 1:1 ?Putting this here as well:
I don't believe this is documented anywhere. I typically see 6 cores, but I've run with 4 or 8 but in the end it's all about watching performance.
System Center Advisory for Lync can complain if it's not at least 8.

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)

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.
Talha Faraz MalikTo 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.

OWA 2013 watchdog system errors for Lync 2013 -
OWA Farm is configured on two 2012 servers. Lync 2013 installed on server 2012 as well.
I can access all services, internally and externally without issues on the client end.
However, my OWA farm machines are marked as Unhealthy per get-OfficeWebAppMachines.
The OWA Farm system Logs show multiple events related to source Office Web Apps Monitoring, event ID(s) 1004, 1010, 2004, & 2010.
What are the BroadcastServicesWatchdog_Wfe & AgentManagerWatchdog that are running, reporting these event codes, and where can it be managed?
The actual event codes

</HealthReport>Yes, PPTs can be shared correctly; and the urls have been verified.
As to setting the http auth settings ~ this Farm isn't integrated with SharePoint, and is only in use for Lync 2013.
It is clear that these additional service executable , AgentManagerWatchdog, BroadcastServicesWatchdog, and BroadcastServicesWatchdog_Wfe
are from the OWA services to manage system health.
Where can they be configured, or worked with? They reiterate that
Reported
status: Contacting Participant.svc failed with an exception
Which leads to more alerts about the Unhealthy state of the machine. What is the "participant.svc" ?? that is cannot
contact? Is this internal to the OWA Farm, or is this a remote service connectivity check the Lync Front End servers? -
