Deployment of Lync Server 2013

HI , 
Please help to get deployment plan of Lync 2013 including all steps.

Hi,
Before deploy Lync Server 2013, you can firstly use Lync Planning Tool to provide prescriptive guidance to get you started with planning your topology.
More details:

Then deploy Lync Server 2013 with the help of other Lync guidance.

  • How to unattended deploy Lync Server 2013 administrative tools

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to deploy the Lync Server 2013 administrative tools unattended but it seams not to be such easy as with other Microsoft products.
    I have looked for Lync Server setup command options/Switches but didn't find anything.
    Currently the only way it really works is by manually installing the administrative tools using normal deployment wizard.
    I have obsorved that the wizard then executes in the backgroud (not transparent) a set of different tasks like preparation tasks, installs some MSIs from the setup folder (like SharedManagementObjects.msi, SQLSysClrTypes.msi) and it copies
    the Lync Powershell Module locally.
    I'm trying to find a way where I can deploy only this Lync 2013 administrative Tools on a set of Administrators Workstation (Windows 7 clients) and on some Windows Server 2012 R2 Management Servers by using for example a Powershell script or any other way
    ... important is that I can install them unattended and distribute them via existing software distribution tool.
    Is there really no way to install them unattended?

    Hi Sergio Verardo,
    If I understand you correctly, the following steps for your reference.
    1. Installing all the required software that Anthony mentioned.
    2. Running the following command on target machine.
    Msiexec
     /i \\SharePath\admintools.msi /qn
    I tested it and worked on my computer.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • The CompileSPL.exe in the Lync Server 2013 SDK can't compile the application manifest file

    My windows server version is 2012 standard, I deployed the lync server 2013 to my environment, and ran the lync server 2013 SDK on the front end pool. Today, I wanted to compile a application manifest file, but I got the warning that this app can't run on
    your pc, to find a version for your pc, check with the software publisher.

    Hi,
    The issue is related to Lync Server 2013, I suggest you ask for help from Lync Server 2013 SDK forum for better and accurate answer to the question.:

  • Clean up Active Directory after dirty deleted lync server 2013

    Hi All,
    i have trouble with my lync server, im gonna re-deploy my lync server 2013 after it has deleted without no purpose.
    based on my experience if we want to deploy with the same name and configuration like previously. setup with failed because it has already register in adsiedit ?
    please tell me how to clean up my AD.
    thanks for you assistance guys,
    Best Regards,
    ari

    Hi,
    On DC, please run adsiedit and connect to the Configuration naming context. 
    Browse down to Configuration > Services > RTC Service and then just delete the entire
    RTC Service container.  Also delete the Computer object(s) for any Lync Server you had previously installed. Then you can install the new Lync Server 2013 with no issue.
    Here is a similar case may help you:

    please verify your computer name while you creating FQDN pool FQDN of Server name
    example
    computer name
    is server1
    domain name is abc.ae
    so,
    your FQDN pool name will be server1.abc.ae

  • 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

  • Persistent Chat (Lync Server 2013) with Lync 2010 Group Chat

    I have successfully deployed Lync Server 2013 and both 2013 and 2010 desktop clients connect and function as expected.
    The problem is with Persistent Chat. It works perfectly with the 2013 desktop client but - whilst 2010 Group Chat connects - I receive the error message "The [LOGON_DOMAIN] is not available". No chat rooms are available and I am unable to search.
    I have been unable to locate anything on the web which discusses the problem.
    I do not know whether this makes a difference but the 2010 clients use terminals rather than dedicated workstations.
    Can anyone shed any light on what the problem may be?

    Have you created a CsPersistentChatEndpoint to allow the Group Chat client (2010) to connect to Persistent
    Chat server? Please take a look at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204901.aspx

  • Office Web Apps server / Lync server 2013

    Hi I have installed a Lync 2013 Server and Office Web Apps Server. Configured Lync topology, Office Web Apps farm and certificates.
    However when i start the services i get this error message in the log saying Office Web Apps discovery failed.
    Event ID:      41033
    Description:
    Office Web Apps Server (WAC) discovery failed, PowerPoint content is disabled.
    Attempted Office Web Apps Server discovery Url:
    Received error message: Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration
    The number of retries: 1,
    Cause: Office Web Apps Server may be unavailable or network connectivity may have been compromised.
    Resolution:
    Check HTTPS connectivity from this box to the Office Web Apps Server deployment using the discovery Url.
    I can access the OWAS server Url from Lync Server
    Connecting to the HTTPS discovery URL is working fine, and brings up the XML-page (after i click "show all content").
    The two servers are located on the same internal network, DNS resolves fine both ways, and no firewall rules blocks any connections between the two. Can anyone please help me figure this out?
    Only identical problem found online is here (Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration):

    He resolved the problem by assigning a new OAuthTokenIssuer certificate. This however did not fix the problem in my case.
    Regards

    Hi,
    In addition, please make sure you have restarted front end and office web apps server after reissuing the certificate.

  • Microsoft Lync Server 2013, Backup Service user store backup module detected items having pool ownership conflict during import.

    Dear Team,
    I have two Enterprise lync 2013 pools, abcPool and abcpool1. abcPool1 has got two servers, Server1 and server2. and abcpool has one FE server named "Server 3". and they have pool pairing.
    Replication was fine between them when i had only one FE server in each pool, one day FE service broke on one of the FE server on abcpool1 and failed to start so i had to do failover to another pool, at that time i introduced one more FE in abcPool1, that
    why now 2 FEs in abcPool2. Server1 FE service was resolved by reinstalling the binaries. However after that im unable to get the backupservice state to normal, i tried the below articles with no luck,

  • Lync Server 2013 Installation Error

    Hello,
    I am using my AD in Windows Azure VMs. I created new VM of A3 (4 cores, 7 GB Memory) Windows Server 2012 R2, Port 1433 MSSQL added, made it a member of Domain and planned to install first Lync Server 2013 on it.
    In "Setup or Remove Lync Server Components" of "Install or Update Lync Server System", got an Red Coloured text "An error

  • Lync Server 2013 in a Remote Desktop Environment

    Hello Community,
    We have a client who is sold on Lync. He wants to install Lync server in a Terminal Server but his environment is RDHS 2008v2 and his end users have thin clients. According to MS official position It is not supported. Has anyone successfully implemented
    this ? If yes what are the pitfalls that lay ahead with regards to audio/video redirection, desktop sharing etc. He has traditional phones but really he wants to get rid of them and go Lync full blown.

    The Virtualizing Lync Server 2013
    (WindowsITPro) article presents a nice overview to this topic.
    In additon, do take a look at the following resources which may be helpful:
    Planning a Lync Server 2013 Deployment on Virtual Servers

    Note that unlike Lync Server 2010, the Lync 2013 VDI browser plug-in is designed to support VDI environments (with paired audio/video) running on supported platforms (from Windows Server 2008 R2 to 2012/R2).
    Hope this helps.
