Upgrading AD Server for Lync 2013
I have now a Lync 2013 infrastructure deployed on an Active Directory infrastructure based on Windows Server 2003 including the servers, the domain functional level and forest functional level. We are planning to upgrade to Windows Server 2012.
My questions are:
1/ What are the impacts to my Lync 2013 infrastructure?
2/ Is there any documentation addressing the changes on the Lync Infrastructure in relation to AD upgrade?
3/ Anyone could share his/her experience?
AlbertHi Albert,
Lync 2013 supports a domain functional level of Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, or at least Windows Server 2003.
Hence when you introduce a Win2012 DC into the environment, it doesn't make any difference till you have the domain\forest Func Levels at Windows Server 2003.
Windows Server 2003 domain and functional levels of Active Directory are depreciated(soon to be removed) in Windows Server 2012 DC. So if you plan to remove the Windows 2003 and raise the FFL\DFL then you need to consider the questions you have
here.
What Happens Next?
Another common question: what impact does changing the Domain or Forest Functional Level have on enterprise applications like Exchange or Lync, or on third party applications? First, new features that rely on the Functional Level are generally limited to
Active Directory itself. Regardless, changing the Domain or Forest Functional Level should have no impact on an application that depends on Active Directory.
An application like Exchange uses Active Directory to store its objects, or to perform various operations, none of that functionality should be affected if the Domain or Forest Functional Mode changes. In fact, if your applications are also written to take
advantage of new features introduced in Active Directory, you may find that the capabilities of your applications increase when the Level changes.
The answer to the question about the impact of changing the Domain or Forest Functional Level is there should be no impact.
Lync 2013 FFL\DFL requirement
doesn't specify any additional features upon raising the levels beyond Win2003.
Just make sure you don't break the existing DC and have enough redundancy.
Supported in-place upgrade paths
Domain controllers that run 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 can be upgraded to Windows Server 2012. You cannot upgrade domain controllers that run Windows Server 2003 or 32-bit versions of Windows Server 2008. To replace
them, install domain controllers that run a later version of Windows Server in the domain, and then remove the domain controllers that Windows Server 2003.

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

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

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.

SQL Mirroring Requirement (Witness server) in LYNC 2013
Hi Everyone,
We are designing a Highly Available solution of for LYNC 2013 and planning to add a witness server to the backed SQL server.
Following are my Queries.
1)For the witness server should the SQL server be dedicated to the LYNC infrastructure or it can be used to host other databases.
2)I am assuming the Witness Database should be in the same Domain?
3)What is the version of the SQL server that is supported as the Witness server, can this be the Free SQL express edition ?
Waiting for some replies :-)1)For the witness server should the SQL server be dedicated to the LYNC infrastructure or it can be used
to host other databases.
It Can be used to host other database
2)I am assuming the Witness Database should be in the same Domain?
Yes
3)What is the version of the SQL server that is supported as the Witness server, can this be the Free SQL

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.

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
1004:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

</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? -

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)

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.
I will take a look at Fiddler
