Design lync server 2013 for 20000 users, licenses required

Hi,
for 20000 users, required features are IM/presence, Archive, external access thats it with HA. also its hyperv.
is below configuration sufficient?
4 FE enterprise server, 2 SQL mirrored, 2 Edge servers, 1 SQL witness
20000 lync client license :- is there any client, which is not thick???
20000 standard cals
4 server cals
3 SQL licenses
am i missing anything here??

If you build those servers out to the full specs mentioned in
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg615015.aspx you should be fine.
The client software license is included with Office Pro Plus or can be purchased separately.
The standard cal gets you IM and peer to peer AV. Enterprise will get you conferencing and desktop sharing (see a breakdown here:
https://mspartner.microsoft.com/en/wi/pages/solutions/downloads/lync-2013-licensing-guide.aspx)
You'd want 4 Lync server licenses, correct.
You'd only need two SQL server licenses as the witness can be SQL Express.
As for missing... just Windows server licenses if you need them.

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,

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.

The Director role is optional in Lync Server 2013 - could anyone please explain why the director server has lost its importance??

Could anyone please explain why the director has been removed from spotlight as it had much importance in LYNC 2010 and now being an optional role in LYNC server 2013.[any call flows regarding director servers would be much useful]

Hi SJ Praveen,
A Director is a server running Lync Server 2013 that authenticates user requests, but does not home any user accounts. Lync 2013 Front End servers have the same registrar service and functionality
as the Director.
The Director isn't providing any special functionality. If the Director goes down, all pools would become inaccessible when the clients queried DNS for the SRV record until an administrator
makes a manual internal DNS change that points users to a Front End pool to handle the sign-in request from Lync clients. Microsoft has made the Director functionality relevant for organizations that have specific security requirements, such as allowing all
external users to register to a specific internal server instead of the Front End servers. This server role is merely optional and not needed for most Lync Server 2013 deployments.
Best regards,
Eric

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.

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
Kind regards Michael Damaschke

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.

Configuring Lync Server 2013 to be a partner Application for Exchange 2013

Hello Guys,
I just want to share my experience while configuring Lync server 2013 to be a partner Application for exchange 2013 sever.
As mentioned on technet you need to run Configure-EnterprisePartnerApplication.ps1 script that ships with Exchange 2013.
But when I tried to run the script as described on the technet article, I found it always fails with " the accepted domain is not valid"
I have checked my accepted domains many times and i found that there's no issues with my configured accepted domain.
So I started to review the script to find the issue and I found that the script was configured as below
$acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain ;
if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
$acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains[0].Name;
if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
else
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true;
which is totally wrong as below:
firstly it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the Name of the accepted domain.
Not all customers configure the name of the Accepted Domain to be the Domain Name.
Secondly it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the name of the first Accepted Domain.
The first domain may be not the default Accepted Domain.
So I have configured the script as below
$acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain | ? {$_.Default -eq "True"} ;
if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
$acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains.DomainName;
if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
else
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true;
I hope This help.
Thanks

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

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

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?

Export-CsArchivingData -
By using this Command-let Can i get the files or name of files transferred between 2 users
Whether it is stored in "LcsLog" database ?
If not weather Lync server saves the files (which users are sending to another users ) anywhere on file system, or not ?

Doug Deitterick has a great blog posting that should answer your question: http://blogs.technet.com/b/dodeitte/archive/2013/04/24/archiving-options-in-lync-server-2013.aspx
The actual File is not archived in Lync, but the file name is and will be have either _p2P or _conf at the end of the name to indicate how it was transferred.
Please mark posts as answers/helpful if it answers your question.
