How do I enable users to attend on Lync 2013 meeting on Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Services/XenApp 6?

Hi,
We are not using Lync internally. But some of my users need to attend Lync 2013 meetings. We run a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Services/XenApp environment. Users are not allowed to install applications.
In the past, I was able to install administratively a Lync 2010 attendee client.
How do I enable my users to attend a Lync 2013 meeting?
Thanks.

This is not viable. I don't know which user is going to be attending Lync meetings from suppliers or customers ahead of time and have no contacts to request a test meeting. This is a loop. How does Microsoft expect sysadmins to support their products if
the client software is not easily available.
At this point if I have a user who needs this, I will only know about it after the meeting has failed. At that point the user is not very receptive to the idea of involving his contact in troubleshooting and setting up test meetings. It's even worse if it's
an executive.
Is there any way of pre-installing the pre-requisites for attending Lync 2013 meetings?
My only choice is to inform my user community that we have no way of supporting Lync and request that they use GotoMeeting or WebEx with their contacts who try to do a Lync meeting.
I am very disappointed in Microsoft's approach with Lync 2013.
Thanks for your time.

Lync 2013 meeting invitation customizations not working for some users

Hello Microsoft TechNet Forms,
I have a strange problem that I am totally stumped on. I made some modifications to the Lync 2013 meeting configuration to add in my company's logo, a footer and set a custom help Lync URL. Now everything seemed to work expect for myself and
one other person I tested with. If I try creating a new Lync 2013 meeting via my Outlook 2013 the normal stock Lync meeting invite appears. Yet testing with any other user everything I have changed appears as expected and I am at a total loss to why.
I have so far from troubleshooting determined it must be something with my account that is causing it but I have just not been able to determine what. As signing into a different machine yields the same result yet testing with another account that is
known to work on the exact same machine works correctly with the different account. I have tired deleting and re-crating my Lync account just in case that had something to do with it but that didn't fix the problem. I have tired repairing Office 2013 to
running windows update on Office 2013 which didn't help.
The changes I made to the meeting configuration are global scoped. I have so far not found anything online from anyone ever reporting a similar issue to this. At this point I am stuck on what I should be looking for with regards to what is stopping
the meeting invite updating for myself and the other person. Given I don't know what mechanism is involved with updating the Lync meeting invite on Outlook 2013 I am stumped. I am open to any suggestions someone might have as to what to do next or what might
be the cause of this problem.
Nicholas,

Hi Nicholas,
Can you compare your account with other’s and check if your account is applied any special policy in Lync Control Panel ?

How to add Windows 2012 R2 RDS to Existing Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

I currently have a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server running and I am looking to add a Windows Server 2012 R2 server to it. All I see when I google the setup is only for Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS, cant find anything to integrate with a current 2008 R2 Terminal
Server.
Can anyone help with this or point me to a blog I possibly missed?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
Yeah, agree with diramoh; as already commented. If you want user session from RDS Server 2012 R2 then you need to install RDS License role on server 2012 R2, purchase and install RDS CAL (per user or per device) according your requirement and then you
can use user session for server 2012 R2 and also for lower version.
But as you already have Server 2008 R2 RDS CAL, then with that you can simply access lower version but can’t manage Server 2012\R2.
For more information, you can refer following document.
Licensing
Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

How do I enable parent paths in Visual Studio 2013?

I am converting a classic ASP site to a Visual Studio 2013 MVC. When I run the ASP code inside of the Visual Studio 2013 debugger I get the following error message. How can I enable parent paths in 2013?
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'
Disallowed Parent Path
/prospect/contact/contact_search.asp, line 33
The Include file '../menu_inc/contacts.inc' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.

I discovered the answer myself. Here is how I did it.
I opened Task Manager and saw that Visual Studio was running processes of IISExpress for the web server functionality.
I clicked on Start and entered IISExpress to find out where it was installed. To my surprise, but an obvious choice, it was located in documents.
I opened the C:\Users\Mike\Documents\IISExpress\config folder then opened Notepad as an administrator. I then opened the applicationhost.config file and under the <system.webServer> element there is an <asp> element. I modified it
to read. <asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true" enableParentPaths="true">
I then opened by MVC solution and ran the Classic ASP program without any problems. Everything works!

Link to User's MySite on Lync 2013 Contact Card does not work

Hello,
we're running a sharepoint 2010 environment with a configured user profile service application and a mysite host. we're also running lync 2010 clients but are planning to upgrade to lync 2013. the it guys (including me) have already installed lync 2013 client.
the lync server is also already on 2013.
with the old 2010 lync client, it was possible to click on a name from a lync contact card and this directed to the users mysite, which was great. to archieve this, we updates the wwwHomepage attribute in AD with the corresponding link for each user to the
mysite.
now with lync 2013 it is no longer possible.
i couldn't find anything about this topic ...
any help would be highly appreciated
kind regards

I tested it in my lab.

Some Users cannot login via Lync 2013 windows client

Hi,
I have a Lync 2013 FrontEnd server, DB server and Edge Server.
Since last noon we are facing a mysterious issue. Its as below.
( I have just entered into Lync administration)
User A and User B, both were able to login to lync till yesteday noon on their individual PC, any PC or mobile (windows, android, mac) with any version of Lync client, inside and outside the organization.
Last noon User A reported that he is facing an issue that whenever he logs in to lync 2013 client he is automatically logged off in 2 to 3 seconds. Then again logs in automatically and again loggs off in 2-3 seconds. and thats all is happening again and
again. The message he is is getting after he is logged off is "The connection to the server was lost
. Reconnecting. Current calls may continue, but with reduced functionality".
But at the same time he was able to login from other computer and his mobile device. At the same time, User B is not facing any issue on his machine.
Then User A tried to login from the User B's computer and there also he faced same issue. Then i asked User B to login on computer of User A and what i see is User B is able to login on User A's computer.
What is concluded from the observation is, User A cannot login from lync client 2013 from any computer inside and outside of my network and can login from any other client/version/platform inside or outside of my network.
What i checked for is Client Version Policy of User A and User B, but both are same (Automatic). Below is my client version policy and i am using client version 15.0.4605.1000
In Sing In Logs. (By Right click on system tray icon of lync) i got below information.
Error-1
In Windows 8, event viewer i am getting only Event ID 1 or 12 which says, "
The description for Event ID 12 from source Lync cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

Thanks, Rishi Pandit.

The issue has been resolved by removing an entry from "Trusted Application Server". This application server was being used for Polycom VC infrastructure integration with Lync.
As per Task 4 section in
Polycom and Lync Integration Documentation we have to use below-
http://support.polycom.com/global/documents/support/strategic_partner_solutions/Polycom_UC_Microsoft_Deployment_W8.pdf
Use the New-CsStaticRoute command to set up a static route for the RealPresence
Collaboration Server system.
$route = New-CsStaticRoute -TLSRoute -destination rmx.corp.local
-port 5061 -matchuri sipdomain.com -usedefaultcertificate $true
where rmx.corp.local is the FQDN of the RealPresence Collaboration Server SIP signaling
domain and sipdomain.com is the name of the Trusted Application Pool you created.
but this was wrong.
we used sip.domain.com and issue got resolved. Polycom forgot one (.) dot between sip and domain.com which ruined us.
Thanks.
Thanks, Rishi Pandit.

Lync Contacts not appearing in Lync 2010 after user is moved to Lync 2013

Good Morning,
Our company recently migrated all of our users to Lync 2013 from Lync 2010. Most of our clients are still running the Lync 2010 client on their workstations. There is an ongoing project where we are upgrading to Office 2013 as well.
When a user signs into Lync, clicks on their contacts, the list is blank. They see their frequent contacts and are able to search for people. Some people are able to manage their contacts through OWA 2013 since we have the integration in
place. If they try to add contacts in Lync, they receive the message:
Cannot Add, Remove or move contacts or groups at this time. Please try again later.
I have tried going into the %appdata%\Microsoft\communicator directory and deleting the .cache and .idx and opening Lync again and still they do not appear.
Found this article: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2757458?wa=wsignin1.0, but we cannot role people back to Lync 2010. So they will just have to live with it until they receive Lync 2013 and use OWA 2013 to manage them until their office
client is upgraded.

Hi BrianDougherty,
I’m not sure whether this is caused by UCS, but you can test it by disabling UCS for a test user.
Run the following command and then check the result.
New-CsUserServicesPolicy -Identity NoUCS -UcsAllowed $False
Grant-CsUserServicesPolicy –Identity “test user” –PolicyName NoUCS
Invoke-CsUcsRollback –Identity “test user”

How to improve the video quality send by lync 2013?

we have one sip client make call with lync 2013 client, and each other support MS rtv video capabilities, after the sip session begin, then video rtp packet send on each directory, all the time our client send 720p video codec to lync 2013 client
, but we only receive the lower format video codec from lync 2013 , and the video format is changed all the time ,some times is 720p then 960*544, then 960*720, or 630*360,,etc. we wonder how can lync client send stable 720p video codec, and we have acheive
the funtion accord ms-rtp.pdf document, and our client can calculate bandwidth using rtcp step accord ms-rtcp , then we should do what else in order to get stable 720p from lync 2013...thank you.

thank you
now we realy have enoght network bandwidth, is heigher to 4-6Mbps, so I think which is in one right work enviroment.
Now I notice that the video format received from lync 2013 at the begining of the call is 720p, and some times change to 960*720, or 960*544, but for many time it may be change between these three formats, but in some times the video format would
change to 640*360, once which change to this mode then it would keep in this sitiunation for long long time, and would never chanege to the heigher ones so it is one incredible things.
how could we change this sitiuation to get one good video format for heigher video effect.

Can't move Users from On Premise Lync 2013 to Lync Online (Office 365)

Hi all
I try to move a single User from a local Lync Installation to Office 365 Lync. Everything is working locally, but in the Lync Powershell i face the following error:
The User with the following SIP-URI can't be found in the Active Directory. HostedMigration fault: Error = 201.
I didn't found anything on the web for the Error 201.
The User exists, and is synchronised with Azure AD eg Office 365. He has an E4 Plan.
Help would be very appreciated!

Please check if the federation SRV record point to the local Edge Server.
Please make sure the Sign-on and directory synchronization works normally.

URGENT: How do you enable users to sign a PDF in Adobe Pro 7.0

I have adobe pro 7.0 and I need to allow users with reader 7.0 & 8.0 to sign the PDF!?!? help!!!!!

Since saving a PDF form by Reader requires Extended Reader Rights you either have to have a version of Acrobat that do that, pay a licensed 3rd party to apply the rights or purchase the Extended Rights Server from Adobe.
Right now the only version of Acrobat that can enable Extended Reader Rights is Version 8 Professional.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21019286/schedule-a-lync-conference-with-ucma-3-0
. how do that?

Hi,
From your description, did you mean you have install Exchange Server and Lync Server 2013 (including Edge server) successfully?
If you have deploy Exchange Server and Lync Server 2013 in the same domain, you should use user’s email address as your Lync account. They will be integrated already. You can just create a schedule Lync meeting on Outlook and send to who you want to invite
to the meeting. If you also want external users to download meeting content for your meetings you also need to deploy a Reverse Proxy in DMZ zone. If the external users don’t have a Lync account, they can also join the meeting as a guest.

How to quickly recover from the broken Exchange Server VM due to Windows Update patch or Service Pack ?

Folks,
I'm planning to apply the Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3 and also applying the Cumulative Update 7 along with Windows Update which haven't been done since the past two years (~100+ patches).
So in this case it I cannot afford to lose any of the Exchange Server due to the bad updates or broken server due to patches. At The moment all of the VMs currently running on VMware:
HT/CAS role Windows NLB:
PRODMAIL01-VM
PRODMAIL02-VM
Mailbox Server stand-alone non-DAG:
PRODMBX01-VM
PRODMBX02-VM
Domain Controllers:
PRODDC01
PRODDC02
My questions are:
1. When taking the VMware snapshot for easy roll-back, do I have to take the entire 2 sets of the domain controller as well?
2. Assuming I have done the Schema Update successfully and moving on to apply the SP3 to the HT/CAS server role, do I have to take both of the mailbox server VMs snapshot as well?
3. Can I disconnect the virtual NIC inside the guest OS to safely take snapshot before applying the patches or service pack ? or do I have to let the network to be always connected during the Service Pack or CU patch process ?
Any kind of suggestion for a better way to quickly roll back broken Exchange server due to patching would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Some hypervisors include features for taking snapshots of virtual machines. Virtual machine snapshots capture the state of a virtual machine while it's running. This feature enables you to take multiple snapshots of a virtual machine and then revert the
virtual machine to any of the previous states by applying a snapshot to the virtual machine. However, virtual machine snapshots aren't application aware, and using them can have unintended and unexpected consequences for a server application that maintains
state data, such as Exchange. As a result, making virtual machine snapshots of an Exchange guest virtual machine isn't supported.
The only supported way to recover a lost Server is gracefully through Setup either Add/Remove programs or recoverserver option
