Deploy Lync 2013 with XML?

Lync 2013 is part of Office 2013 Pro Plus.
When I first deployed Office I never bothered with Lync... we now need it.
Same with Access.... for Access I use the following XML:
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" /> -->
<USERNAME Value="Authorised Used" /> -->
<COMPANYNAME Value="XXX XXX" /> -->
<OptionState Id="ACCESSFiles" State="local" Children="force" /> -->
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" /> -->
</Configuration>
Doesnt see to work for Lync though....
In OptionState Id I've tried LyncFiles, LyncCoreFiles... but no joy.
Any ideas?

Hi Peter,
I also haven't found the OptionID for Lync, could we use the OCT to change the installation state of features instead? The equivalent option in the OCT is
Set feature installation states. And we can deploy the update via a MSP file.

Lync 2013 with ipad clinet (lync 2013)

Hi All
I have deployed lync 2013 and installed only the JAN -14 updates over it, my setup is in split brain dns (same name internal & external) and I have added all lync discovery A record to point to the internal IP.my problem is ipad client 2010 is working
fine however ipad client 2013 is not able to connect at all, what I am missing here?
PS: I am using public certificate for the internal servers & Lync connectivity analer go green on every thing when I chose Lync Mobile 2013
please help

Do you have server autodetect turned on in both client versions? Are you signing into both version from the same type of network location (ie. internal WiFi). Does it work if you switch to a different WiFi location that would be external?
Also, you said before "I have added all lync discovery A record to point to the internal IP."
If you have lyncdiscover.<yourdomain> pointing to internal, but mobilty set to external, it won't work. Set lyncdiscover in your internal DNS zone to your external reverse proxy IP.

Deploying Office 2013 with Group Policy

I would like to deploy Office 2013 using group policy. I am new to group policy so am looking for some advice and guidance on the best way to deploy. I would like to deploy with no interaction with the user but yet display a message so that they
know not to open Office. I would also like to create a custom registry setting so that if I need to re-install, all I have to do is delete the registry setting. I have tried a group policy for installing with OCT settings (Basic, Suppress
Model checked, No Cancel checked, Completion Notice checked) and modifying the Config.xml (<Display Level="Basic" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />) but I can not get it to display
the installer screen so that users know it is installing. It does display the screen when running the setup.exe manually. I have a setting in the OCT that creates the registry setting and that is working correctly. My group policy is set to run the
below bat file at startup in the Computer Configuration.
setlocal
REM *********************************************************************
REM Environment customization begins here. Modify variables below.

REM Check for 32 and 64 bit versions of Office 2013 in regular uninstall key.(Office 64bit would also appear here on a 64bit OS)

echo %date% %time% Setup ended with error code %errorlevel%. >> %LogLocation%\%computername%.txt
REM If 0 or other was returned, the product was found or another error occurred. Do nothing.
:End
Endlocal
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciate on how to get a pop up message while software is installing or if there is a better way to deploy.

Deploy Lync 2013 in phases

Can someone shed some light in this ? I really appreciate.
We currently have OCS 2007 (non R2), and planning to upgrade to 2013. We understand the choices of path of migration. However we want to understand if we can deploy 2013 with the the same features t we have today (IM and presence), and then add on other
features at a later stage. So this would look like this:
Phase 1: IM and presence
Phase 2: conferencing
Phase 3: AV conferencing
Phase 4: Dial-in conferencing
I understand at some point with Dial-in conferencing we have to setup FEs, so do we have to setup all the servers when we deploy in phase 1? How scalable it is if we want to expand/shrink the feature sets?
Thanks.

Hi,
Agree with Thamara.
The FE Server (or Standard Edition Server if it is Standard Edition) is the core Server roles for Lync Server 2013, and runs many basic Lync Server functions. After you install FE Server and BE Server (Standard Edition Server) and enable the related
function such as conferencing, you can use the function. IM and presence function is enable by default. If you want to use dial-in conferencing function, you need to collocate FE Server with Mediation Server or deploy Mediation Server alongside.

Decommissioning 1st OCS 2007 R2 FE after deploying Lync 2013

Hello,
We have done a successful deployment of Lync 2013 that interoperates with OCS 2007 R2. Now we want to start decommissioning OCS 2007 R2 step by step. We have four OCS pools on different sites and I want to decommission the first OCS. 2007
r2 FE. I´ve tried to follow the deactivation order suggested by different bloggers and MS site:
http://www.ucprofessional.com/2011/04/decommisioning-ocs-2007-r2-after.html
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd572548%28v=office.13%29.aspx
However when I want to deactivate any service like Application Host or A\V Conferencing Server I receive the next message,
even if I have domain\enterprise admin rights as well as RTCUniversalServerAdmins membership :
Remove Active Directory Object CN=UC AppServer Services
Failure
[0x80070005] Access is denied.
Remove Active Directory Object CN=LS AV MCU
Failure
[0x80070005] Access is denied.
We have a parent root domain, and this FE is joined to one of its child domains. I still have other three pools but I don´t want to touch these other three until I can decomm this first FE and its pool. I don´t have any users in this.
How could I deactivate these services on this first FE server and have my AD clean? what might be happening that the deactivation process doesn´t do its job?
Thank you for any feedback.
MC

Is the account you used to deactivate OCS 2007 R2 Servers in root domain or child domain?
Your problem is more of a permission issue.
Try to use an account created in root domain to deactivate OCS 2007 R2 servers.

Deploying Lync 2013 client and SCCM Detection method

So I am deploying the stand alone Lync 2013 client via SCCM 2012 R2, I have used OCT to create a .MSP, and I am trying to import it into SCCM. However, I am curious as to what others are using for the Detection method? Normally I would just
use the MSI code, but since there is no single MSI, that is not possible with this particular version? I'm not sure what the best method would be, Option 1 is to find a registry key that is installed by Lync, or Option 2, use a file, maybe Lync.exe under
the Program Files?

From the testing I've done Lync creates this reg location...
HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Office>15.0>Lync
Try using one of the keys in there, or you could use the file version but not sure if this would change with updates.

Lync 2013 with Skype

Hi,
I do have Lync 2013 Servers (on premise) and I do have connected with PIC, I can chat with GTalk users and MSN users. I can also chat with new Skype users who have new Skype client application and which were connected their Skype account with Microsoft accounts.
However, when will Lync 2013 users will be able to add ALL current Skype users (including those who aren't connected to their Microsoft Account). Also when will this Skype users be able to find & add all Lync users ?
If never, what will be with those who never connect their Skype account with Microsoft Account.
Are there any rumors or official news regarding to this ?
-- Hrvoje Kusulja

I didn’t see such news.
In theory, you can’t search all the Skype users and Lync users.
In the corporate network, you can access the GAL, then you can search all the Lync enabled user. But as an external user, you can’t access the GAL. So you need to add the contact by SIP address.
If the receiver doesn't accept your invitation, you won't be able to chat with this user.

Lync 2013 with outlook 2010 meeting error

I have installed lync basic 2013 with outlook 2010. The meeting add in is in place, but I get an error when trying to set up a Lync meeting "unable to identify the calendar owner"
What to do to correct this?

Hi,
You seem to get the error “Unable to identify the calendar owner. Please contact your support team.”
This is caused if the Online Meeting Add-in for Lync 2010 cannot determine the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) address of your Microsoft Outlook account. You need to contact your Exchange administrator.
If you mail server does not support online meeting(such as a pop3 server), you can join the meeting as anonymous user through the meeting URL.
You can also create a new profile to check the result:

Deploy Lync 2013 Via SCCM 2012

Dear,
I wants to deploy Microsoft Lync 2013 via SCCM 2012, I have created a new deployment package based on MSI file to install Microsoft Lync 2013 for company machines, during the installation package will install for clients computer perfectly but instead of
install automatically to users, every time message coming user should do it manually for example user should accept the terms of the agreement, kindly I need a way to solve this issue, I need Lync 2013 automatically install without users doing anything, please
see attached snapshot.

Make sure that you are using the right command line using your newly created MSP
ex: setup.exe /adminfile "Lync_Updated.msp"
As proposed, update your DP so that your MSP gets distributed.
You can also follow this guide if you're still experiencing difficulties.

Deploy Office 2013 with language pack

Hi,
We want to deploy Office 2013, for this I followed the tutorial:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/How-to-Deploying-Office-0f954e7f
In the first step I need to make an MSP file, but this file doesn't get used in the deployment? I think this is a fault in the tutorial.
Also the uninstall string is setuP.exe /uninstall. Is this correct?
Second we want to deploy the dutch language pack with SCCM 2012, but I can't find out how. The package need to be installed but Office 2013 still need to be default language English.
Can someone help me out with this?
Thanks in advance.

Some troubleshooting tips:
Run the installation command locally using SYSTEM account (Get psexec.exe, open cmd, run "psexec.exe -s cmd", this will open a new command line window with SYSTEM privilege, try running your installation command there)
Check the Office 2013 installation logfiles to see if your configurations are correct, more info on that here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2010/12/30/troubleshooting-office-installation-failures.aspx
After those two steps are ready and you're sure your installation command works, you try it with ConfigMgr
With ConfigMgr, check %windir%\ccm\logs\ -folder for AppEval.log, AppEnforce.log and AppDiscovery.log, more info on these logfiles you can find here:

Lync 2013 with SIP trunk with panasonic kx-tde200

Hi
My company has installed a panasonic ip-pbx kx-tde for multiline with 100 number range for telephone service.
Now my company is going to replace multiline by sip trunk . It will still work with Panasonic pbx box just need to reprogramme to be able to connected to the sip proxy which is managed by internet service provider.
For this scenario , would Lync 2013 voice work if I just add PSTN gateway which is the ip of panasonic pbx address to the frontend in topology ? Or I may need a mediation server as a must requirement to make lync voice work?
Thanks
WenFei

Media bypass allow a call to basically skip the mediation server once it's established and go directly from gateway (in this case the PBX) and the endpoint (the telephone handset or Lync client) More information here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398719.aspx
By having this (if your PBX supports it) you reduce the load on the mediation servers. Before you go too far down the road also make sure that your PBX supports SIP trunks that are SIP over TCP (as Lync doesn't work with SIP over UDP)
Sort of, the easiest way is to add the .com as an additional SIP domain in Topology builder, you will need to create DNS records for it (both internal and external) and you will need to reissue the certs with additional SANs to support the second domain.
YOu will also need to update all the users to use the new suffix of xxx.com. So it's not a small task.

Integrating Lync 2013 with IBM Lotus notes

Hi All,
One of our customer raised the below query:
We have Lync Online Meetings Connector for Lotus Notes that will work with Lync 2010. You can refer the below article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh527742(v=office.14).aspx
However, partner is not sure about the same meeting connector available for Lync 2013 when we have Lotus notes email system.
Partner wants to schedule the Lync 2013 meeting but don’t have Outlook client as Exchange server mail system is not used in their environment. They have Lotus notes email system.
Question:
Do we have Lync 2013 Meeting connector for Lotus notes?
Please advise. Thank you for your time.

... Good question. I don't have a Notes environment to test in, but you could use the 2013 client to connect to the 2010 back end to test. I'd download the free Lync Basic client and see if you can replicate the functionality you need:

Deploy exchange 2013 with current Exchange 2007 organization

Dear All
our company will update exchange 2007 to exchange 2013, on AD site we already update Forest functional level and Domain functinal level to Windows 2003 ( can not up to windows 2008 yet because have some ad that run windows 2003 server
) but one thing that I'm not sure, between migration we can not full tranfer mailbox form exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 in one time, we need to migrate on night time manybe one day we can migrate only 100 user per night, my question is
1. which exchange 2013 server role that we will install first ( mailbox or CAS)
2. on migration time, can we let's user used exchange 2007 to main of OWA and SMTP or not? we need all user's mailbox tranfer to exchange 2013 complete first after that we will switch OWA and SMTP

1. Mailbox, or install both on the same server at the same time. (Edited: First I said CAS, which used to be true, but now you need the Mailbox role to run PowerShell, so you have to install Mailbox first. Consider a dual-role server,
however, because there aren't a lot of cases where you need separate CAS and Mailbox role servers.)
2. You cannot. Exchange 2013 mailbox users must use the Exchange 2013 CAS. You can have users use their respective CAS while migrating, but that requires two sets of URLs and is therefore more confusing for the end user. I recommend planning
to deploy Exchange 2013 CAS, a legacy URL for Exchange 2007, and switch your hostnames to Exchange 2013. This is all spelled out in the Exchange 2013 documentation.
