Great follow up thanks!.
Seems i am near to solution.
I used web site url https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com it pass all test,
When i use to test using tool it goes to my local fqdn and says unable to resolve.
An error occurred while sending the request.
The remote name could not be resolved: 'lync1.hosting.mydomain.local'
When i open this url lyncdiscover_contoso.com it give both internal and extral url.
Which is this {"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://lync1.hosting.mydomain.local/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root?originalDomain=haxxess.com"},"user":{"href":"https://lync01.externaldomain.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root/oauth/user?originalDomain=external.com"},"xframe":{"href":"https://lync01.externaldomain.com/Autodiscover/XFrame/XFrame.html"}}}
I am using lync 2013, with no tmg for publishing, internal web servie name is empty overrite and extranal is lync01.externaldomain.com
So as article says if i see internal url If the internal web services URL is identified, the web publishing rule is incorrect and is bridging the connection to port 443
instead of port 4443 for the Lync external web services.
Where do i have to change this in topology under web service. can you please guide this last phase.

Confused with Lync 2013 Autodisocver and mobile app

Hello
i am confused about some stuff related to lync 2013 client discovery and mobility:
1) internal client will try to resolve lyncdisocverinternal , then why on the internal CA request i can see lyncdiscover &lync disocoverextrnal?
2)for auto discover to work from extrnal does it look for the A record "sip.mydomian.com" or its searching for lyncdisocver?
3) does Mobility (client for ipad or Andriod) try to connect to edge server if if its located on the internal network or it can understand if its on the internal wifi to use internal and its outside the network it will use external?
please help

All Mobility Service traffic goes through the reverse proxy, regardless of where the origination point is—internal or external.
The Lync Server 2013 Autodiscover Service returns all Web Services URLs for the user's home pool, including the Mobility Service (Mcx and UCWA) URLs. However, both the internal Mobility Service URL and the external Mobility Service URL are associated with
the external Web Services FQDN.
You can run the command Set-CsMcxConfiguration –ExposedWebURL internal.
The parameter internal indicates whether the URL used by the Autodiscovery Service is accessible to users both inside and outside the organization firewall (External) or only accessible to users inside the firewall (Internal).
If you set to internal, you can’t connect externally.

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 Client and Outlook 2010

Hi, I installed Lync 2013 (FE and Edge server). I am able to talk but still I need to buy suitable certificate in order to access from outside. Rest of the network is as follow. SBS 2011 with exchange 2010, clients have Office 2010.
Problems that I noticed are:
- If in Calelendar there is appointment, Lync client shows still available
- Lync meeting button doesn't react when pressed.
Is Lync 2013 client backward compatible with older office/Exchange or not ?

For presence show doesn't integrate with outlook, Verify that the
Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office is installed and enabled in Microsoft Outlook.
For lync 2013 client compatible with office and Exchange, you can refer below link

Disable Lync 2013 Client and Exchange 2010 Integration

Is it possible to disable integration to Exchange 2010 from a Lync 2013 client? I found a key that works for Lync 2010 by setting HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Communicator\PersonalContactStoreOverride to 1. That does not seem to do anything
to a Lync 2013 client, nor have I been able to find a solution to disable it via Registry/GPO. Some things I have found seem to indicate that key does is not used by a Lync 2013 client but that is somewhat speculation. Can someone tell me if there
is a key to disable this connectivity and disable it like what the key above does for 2010? Thank you!

Create a new-csclientpolicyentry -name "PersonalContactStoreOverride" -value "1" and assign it to a Client Policy

No contacts in Lync 2013 client and not appearing in others contact lists

Hello all,
I hope someone might be able to help out with this problem, I've been at it for weeks with no luck. I've migrated from Lync 2010 to 2013. All users have been successfully migrated and everything is working for them, except for one user (which i me unfortunately).
When I sign into Lync from any device (desktop, laptop, windows phone, iphone) I do not see any contacts in my organization, but I can find any of the contacts if i search for them. I also don't appear in anyone else's contact list, but they can find me if
they search.
I have tried disabling and removing my account from Lync server, uninstalling and reinstalling the Lync client on my machine, cleaning up all the Lync folders and registry keys on my machine. Nothing seems to get me any closer to getting this fixed.
I did find a discussion
here that is exactly the problem I'm having, but I don'e see a solution there either.
Has anyone else seen this before? Any suggestions or ideas would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I am afraid your Lync account lose the user data contact list when you move user from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013.
Please try to move the user back to Lync server 2010 to check if the contact list is stored.
You can use the tool DBIMPEXP.exe to back up specific user’ data from Lync Server 2010 and import the data to Lync Server 2013 with the command Import-CSUserData which is introduced in Lync Server 2013.
Before you import the data, you need to use the command Convert-CSUserData to convert exported user data to the data format used by Microsoft Lync Server 2013.
For the details, please check

Lync 2013 federation and mobile push 504 error

Hello,
In our company we have deployed Lync 2013 Standard with last CU
1. Front End - External web serwis and mobile sing by wildcard certyfikate trusted in Internet, and Internal webserwis sing by our Internal CA not trusted in internet
In Topology is registred: LyncFE.company.local
Default SIP domain is company.com
2. Edge Server - All in one server sing by our Internal CA not trusted in internet with Subject Alternative Names: sip.company.local, sip.company.com, LyncEDGE.company.com
In Topology is registred: LyncEDGE.company.local
3. Reversed Proxyand NAT and firewall setup our firewall with Port Translating
LyncEDGE.comapny.local have asigned by NAT public IP Adres 10.10.10.10
LyncFE.company.local have asingned by NAT public adres IP 10.10.10.11
Incoming traffic for 10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.11 Lync ports TCP/UDP from documentation
Outgoing traffic for 10.10.10.10 (LyncEDGE) on TCP 5061 need for federation
4. DNS setup
We have split domain and DNS like this:
Company.local (Internal DNS) and Company.com (External DNS)
DNS Records in our External DNS:
LyncEDGE.company.com record A 10.10.10.10
LyncFE.company.com record A 10.10.10.11
sip.comapny.com TLS --> LyncEDGE.copmany.com

_sipinternaltls._tcp.company.com --> -> LyncEDGE.copmany.com
lyncdiscover.company.com --> 10.10.10.10
In this setup works for now: Lync Audio Video, Mobile access. And now we trying setup Federation and Push notyfication and when we testing we get 504 form serwer.
Test-CsFederatedPartner -TargetFqdn lyncedge.company.local (This is the name of our LyncEDGE server in topology)-Domain microsoft.com

But still i cant get working federation and push notyfication for mobile some one can advise where problem can be? I think problem is with our certyficate setup on EDGE server that is sing by our Internal CA not trusted in Internet.

Lync 2013 Client Can't Expand Distro Group (externally)

I have a Lync 2010 FE and Edge server with the web servcies being published via UAG 2010. I am testing the Lync 2013 client and the DG (distro group) expansion is failing externally. I get the error in the client "Cannot use the distribution
group service becasue the service address is incorrect, although the service is available. Contact your...." Distribution group expansion works fine externally with the 2010 client. The web servcie address for DG Extneral does work via the web
browser as expected. Any ideas?
Thanks

Did you migrate from Lync server 2010 to Lync server 2013?
If so, please check you have create DNS record for the Lync server 2013 external web service point to the NATed public IP address of Lync Front end server.
Check whether the internal web service for distributed group works.
Check whether ABS for Lync 2013 works.

Lync 2010 client and Office 2013

I have Office 2013 installed minus Lync 2013 and have Lync 2010 installed in its place, we have a Lync 2010 infrastructure and are planning on upgrading our customers’s workstations to office 2013 and maintaining the Lync 2010
clients.
Is it expected behavior in this scenario to get prompted with the “Join the meeting using your web browser”, “Download and install Lync Attendee” & “Use Communicator” page when attpempting to join a meeting?
Thanks….

Thanks for the reply.
The reason that we though to stay with the Lync 2010 client is that we were told that the Lync 2013 client only communicates to the Lync 2010 back-end via the Lync Edge servers. In looking at the Lync 2013 client configuration
information I see that Inside User Status: True which looks like it might not be communicating via the Edge servers.
Is this a valid reason not to push forward with Lync 2013 client while still having Lync 2010 back-end?
Thanks…

Cannot share desktop - Lync 2013 server and Windows 8 (64-bit) client

Currently my new Lync server cannot share a desktop through a Lync 2013 client installed on a Windows 8 workstation. The client is patched up with the latest MS patches (much beyond the patch issues noted about a year ago, the patches in question do not
even show up as installed).
I get the same "An error occurred during the screen presentation" message. I do have a NVIDIA video cards on the workstations, but they too are patched up. The same systems have no issues sharing desktop screens in the Lync 2013 client on Windows
8 systems when they are connected to a Lync 2010 server.
I have no idea where to go from here. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

Did this issue happen to other Lync 2013 client?
As you mentioned that you can used the same Lync 2013 to sharing desktop screen when it connects Lync Server 2010 while you couldn’t share desktop screen when it connects to Lync Server 2013,
I think it is related with Lync Server.
Please check if you can find any errors on Lync Front End Server.
Check all Lync server services are all started.

numbers and cell numbers for all users. However on Lync 2013 clients, Lync contact details for some users do not populate completely. In most cases, Enterprise numbers/Work Numbers/Mobile Numbers are missing. If the contact is pinned then the details
are retrieved.
In cases where Work/Voice/Cell numbers are not displayed, affected users is limited to making lync to lync calls only. The user can still dial the number and get through without any issues.
I have deleted and contacts cache on Lync 2013 but this has not helped.
Regards

Hi,
How about check the contact of “Outlook Test” user from the Lync 2010 client?
According to the second screenshot, since it’s an external account, the information will be limited.
Thanks,

Unable to search GAL on Lync 2013 Front End Pool through Lync 2013 client

I'm in the beginning of a 2010 to 2013 migration and I'm currently testing co-existence functionality between pools. I've noticed that users cannot search the GAL from their Lync client after being moved to the 2013 pool.
When trying to access the internal URL https://fepool13.domain.com/abs/handler the user is prompted to login and after three failed attempts, receives "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. You do not have permission
to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied".
Searching withing a Lync 2010 or Lync 2013 client returns no results, but there are no errors as well as nothing in the event logs or tracing folder regarding not being able to search.
The 2010 pool has been in production for a few years now and when accessing its internal ABS URL https://fepool10.domain.com/abs/handler the user is granted access after a successful login.
In the IIS logs there are slightly more detailed 401 error codes, but I’m not sure what to make of them.
The rtcab database appears to have user information and all three front end servers appear to be syncing with active directory. I say the rtcab database appears to have user info because the AbUserEntry table is filled with User ID'd, GUID's and a
bunch of other stuff.
The authentication on 2013 front end servers “internal lync website/abs/handler” is set to 1. Negotiate, 2. Ntlm - which is the same as the 2010 front end servers.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Which step did you do among migration from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013?
Did you already move CMS from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013?
Please create a new Lync account on Lync Server 2013 pool and test the issue again.
Please check if User Replication has completed with the help of the link below:

Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.

Hi Team,
Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.
Using Exchange 2010 Server and Lync 2010 Server at the back. To the best of my knowledge, this option is only available when using Exchange 2013 rather than Ex 2010.
Can somebody confirm this as I am not 100% sure about it.
Appreciate your help. Thanks

Hi,
The photo precedence in Lync 2013 is high-resolution photo from Exchange 2013 -> Photo from web address -> Active Directory photo. The "Edit or Remove Picture" button is available if you integrate Lync Server 2013 with Exchange 2013.
Since you are Lync server 2010 and Exchange 2010, you can choose the following two options:
The thumbnailPhoto attribute on the user's object in Active Directory Domain Services
A URL configured by the user

App V 5.0 Sequence - Lync 2013 Client

Hello,
Could you please help me find sequencing steps to virtualize Lync 2013 Client (Basic/Enterprise) using App-V 5.0 SP2?
Regards,
Srinivasa Prasad

Follow that link for advice on how to download Office click-to-run and convert it to an App-V package...
When I did this, I set the Product ID in the CustomConfig.xml file as ProPlusVolume and used ExcludeApp tags to exclude all apps except for Lync:
Access
Excel
Groove
InfoPath
OneNote
Outlook
PowerPoint
Project
Publisher
SharePointDesigner
Visio
Word
Here is the info on how to configure this file:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx
I believe it is also possible to set the Product ID to Lync, but not sure of the exact value to set and I have not tried this myself. Bonus tip - when you deploy Lync 2013 virtually, the plugins automatically integrate with the locally installed copy of
Outlook!

Lync 2013 client is deployed but user accounts are not migrated from OCS to Lync 2013 Server - how to open Lync meetings automatically in the Lync Web Plug-in

We have in our enterprise the following scenario:
1 - Lync 2013 client is installed
2 - User accounts are not migrated to Lync 2013 Server, users are using Office Communicator as their main tool
3 - Users receive Lync 2013 meeting requests but when try to access them, Lync 2013 client launches and shows error. Users will need to open the browser and paste the URL to the address bar but this still open
4 - We cannot use the workaround of adding "?SL=1" to the Lync 2013 meeting URL as the user base is large and manual workaround is not accepted
5 - Question: is there any automated way, via egistry key or GPO setting, so that users temporarily (until their accounts are migrated to Lync 2013 server) can bypass Lync 2013 client completely and automatically open all Lync 2013 meetings
on the browser, using Lync Web Plug-in?

Thanks for the response,
First, I should have mentioned clearly that users have Office Communicator 2007 client and Lync 2013 client installed in their machines. Their accounts are not migrated yet to Lync 2013 server.
Second, we are using IE9 and IE10. The issue is that users CAN join Lync 2013 meetings with their browsers but have to paste the URL manually to browser and add "?SL=1" otherwise, if they just click at the "Join Online Meeting" or "Join
Lync Meeting" URL it launches Lync 2013 client which shows error because is not configured yet, as they are using OCS client and migrating slowly to Lync 2013 server.
Is there a Group Policy setting or a registry key from Microsoft that can be turned on to these users machines and make will all Lync meeting requests to be opened in IE browser instead of Lync 2013 client. We need a way to ignore
Lync 2013 client until user accounts are migrated to Lync 2013 Server. Manually typing URLs is not an option in a big organization, can't explain thousands of users of different levels what to do.
We are regretting the decision not to separate Lync 2013 from Office 2013 package we deployed recently. If Lync 2013 is uninstalled then all Lync meeting requests are opened in browser without an issue.
