Lync 2013 Client takes a long time to "restore" from taskbar

On many Windows 8 & 8.1 systems in our environment the Lync client will take anywhere from 2-10 seconds to pop up when clicked on in the taskbar. The application is running, logged in, and active. This is very frustrating to our userbase
as they will click on it multiple times and have it then act like a jackrabbit when it finally processes the requested actions.
The computers we have are brand new systems. Happens on freshly installed & updated versions of Lync 2013. Seems to be after the Lync client hasn't been clicked on, or utilized in a while. Other applications pop up instantly (zero delay)
and without any problems, it only affects Lync. I tried disabling UI animations such as fade, slide etc, which did nothing to help the issue.
This has me a bit stumped, and I'm wondering if this is a known issue or not? Hopefully there is a solution?

I wouldn't say it's dismissive, I was asking for more information. I wanted to know if it was potentially an overactive endpoint protection application or something similar, if it can't be reproduced on fresh build of Windows then something is interfering
and it's difficult to work out not knowing what all is installed. Most people don't experience the issue so I imagine another piece of software may likely be conflicting.
I do agree that it's not an answer, at the least not very useful answer. Occasionally items get marked as answer but they're more of a "closed" as the original poster never responds.
I'd suggest posting your issue in the Lync 2013 forums instead as people are less likely to watch this post now that it's already marked "answered". Work through it and see what can be found, hopefully you'll find some good information which will be
more helpful to others.

SUS - Some Clients Take a Long Time to Check for Updates

We have the newest XSERVE, running 10.6, with 12GB of RAM. We use it as our software update server and for some reason, some clients take a long time to check for updates. I'm talking anywhere from an 30 mins to an hour. I can't figure it out. Some clients are quick, some are extremely long.
Now if I tell the client to just check Apple for updates, it takes a few seconds.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks.

After another restart, firefox has begun throwing errors when starting from terminal. the error reported is:
/opt/kde/bin/skim: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This is printed 5 times, then gives up and firefox loads quickly after. So this appears to be an issue with skim and libpng similar to other problems being reported.
Some research uncovered that skim is no longer supported and is part of my kdemod3 install, however until this update it was working fine under kdemod4.

Macbook Pro takes a long time (41 secs) from start to reach log-in - It used to be almost instantaneous, I'm running Lion OS

My Macbook Pro takes a long time (41 secs) from start to reach log-in - It used to be almost instantaneous, I'm running Lion OS. I thought this might be because I'd used a lot of disk space but I've now reduced that - I'm only using 40 of the 320 gb available. I have no games and I've unchecked the "re-open windows" option on shutdown. The rest of the preformance (once in) remains good.

41 seconds is actually a little faster then normal. Boot from completely off is normally around 45-50 seconds.
Your computer never ever came on almost instantaneously from completely off. You are confusing waking up from sleep mode and booting the computer from completely off.

Exchange 2013 mailbox takes a long time to connect with Outlook 2010

We just installed a 2013 CAS/Mailbox server in our Exchange 2007 environment and are running in coexistence while we migrate users over. So far I have only moved one 2007 mailbox over, a new account used for testing. Everything is working fine, OWA,
ECP, ActiveSync, etc... When connecting Outlook to a 2007 mailbox autodiscover takes a couple seconds and Outlook opens fine. The problem is when connecting Outlook to a mailbox on the 2013 server. Autodiscover takes about a minute before it finally finds
the settings and the mailbox takes about 30 seconds to open everytime. It generally times out, I click retry and the mailbox opens. Once in everything is good but the initial loading always takes a long time, double the time when opening Outlook with a shared
mailbox attached. All autodiscover is autodiscover.domain.com, Exchange 2007 is all legacymail.domain.com aside from the components that need to point to 2013. We do not have any certificate issues, well that's not true, at some time in the last couple years
someone applied a 3rd party cert to our domain.com root but not sure if that would cause this issue. Also, these are internal clients we are trying to get going with the 2013 mailbox, not external. I just applied a registry change that helped someone else
out there by disabling IPv6 for all components but that did not work for us MS KB929852. Any suggestions? Right now I am thinking of changing the internalURI for autodiscover to the FQDN of the server but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.

Hi Angela, thanks for the response. I cannot post links or pictures as my account has not been verified?
The autoconfiguration tests passed, I will paste the xml below. Ping times were all under 1ms. When I entered the IP for the 2013 serve I received errors that the connection to Exchange is unavailable followed by another one that the name cannot be resolved.
I did this test by removing the Outlook profile and creating one manually without Autodiscover. I am able to ping the server by all names from the command prompt.
Our autodiscover.domain.com points to our 2013 server and the name is resolvable both internally and externally. Our certificates cover the internal server name fqdn as well as external names. I am doing all testing in the internal network.

Hi,
do you still see the entry:

The signal 11 could indicate memoryproblems which are most likely to
appear when importing cluster or transparent table
A possible solution might be to delete the entries in the target client
before the import or otherwise to exclude the clustertable from the
client export and to transport it separately. Check note #68896 for more
information on these topics.
Table RFRR is a work table. Its content will be filled by the two
reports RFDRRGEN and RFKRRGEN (batch jobs) periodically. So you can
exclude the table from the transport. Please do it by using
 report RSCCEXPT (see note #70290 - see attachment).
After this you can start your export of the client.
If all is done, start the reports RFDRRGEN and RFKRRGEN to create the
table RFRR.
Note 718511 is also applicable here, you could clean up the scrap characters and then retry the export.
Kind regards,
Paul

Excel files with fields linked to other excel files take a long time to open from SharePoint library

Trying to track a problem for a user.
Most of the documents opened from our SharePoint libraries appear to open in a timely fashion.
But...one user has noticed an issue, and I just noticed something with her files that are a little less common than other stuff we've seen.
she has a lot of pricelist excel files. there are some master price list files, and then other files that link to fields from within the master files.
the files that contain links to other files appear to be the ones that open very slowly.
the files are being opened via excel itself, not the owa viewer or editor.
is there a trick to setting up either the library, the site, site collection or web app... or some client-side setting that affects how quickly/efficiently excel will open files that link to other excel files shared within sharepoint?

Hi carphuntin_god,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you click a hyperlink which redirect to other files , the file are opened very slowly via excel client.
How about you download the same file and open it using excel client? If it is opened quite fast, the issue should be caused by some third-party add-ins in the office program or antivirus soft.
Here is a similar thread you can have a look:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ff0c5306-5300-4010-a760-c4cca320b6fc/excell-file-taking-long-time-to-open-and-edit?forum=officesetupdeploylegacy

If you want to open the files using excel service after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
General Syntax:
http://<server_name>/<site_name>/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=<workbook path>&range=<location>
For example:
http://CorpServer/DeptA89/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=http://Mfct/Stats/Shared%20Documents/Parts.xlsx&range=Widgets!A1:F25
For more information:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-server-help/using-hyperlinks-in-excel-services-HA010173679.aspx
If you want to open the files using Office Web Apps after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
http://<server name> / <site name> / <library name>/<your file name> ?web=1
For example:
http://sp/Shared%20Documents/exceltest.xlsx?Web=1

Takes a long time to restore

I am in the process of restoring a new iPhone. Do far, it's been restoring for 2 weeks. How do I determine if it's working correctly and if not, how do I finish it?

Unless you are running on dial up and are trying to restore from a 10GB back up this is taking way too long. I would redo the restore process and try again. If this doesn't work I would try a differen't network to attempt to restore from that back up from.

Ipod touch 5g taking a long time to restore from backup

I have recently used find my iphone to erase my iPod Touch 5th Generation and have made a very recent backup of this device. I have plugged the device into itunes and clicked restore from backup (Windows Vista Home Basic 32 bit). It proceeded in restoring my iPod to the backup and the estimated time had gone up to nearly 8 hours. The status bar is gradually moved up, but what can I do to make it faster as I have waited nearly 6 hours for this and it is ver stressful =(
P.S I am currently using an iPod Touch 5th Generation running the latest version of iOS 7 of iOS 7.1.2

Thanks for your reply. My iPod Touch has finished its restore, yet not all the apps were installed onto the iPod. This is not a problem because most of my apps I did not want/need. My photos and music was installed/synced as well. It took a very long time for this process to happen. Thank You for your support. How can I award you points?

Leopard Clients take a Long Time to Login (roughly 1~2 minutes)

Hello all,
I've spent the last few weeks scouring these groups and then net and searching and searching for someone with a similar problem to my own, but have come up pretty much empty handed and so now turn to here to see if any else has had this issue or can at least point me where to look to resolve the problem.
I've got a clean install of a XServe running Leopard server 10.5.2 with OD, AFP services and User home folders configured and fully working.
The problem:
Clean install of Tiger client logs into the server (OD binded) perfectly. Takes maybe 15 seconds tops to for the client to log in and show the all the AFP mounts and client settings and user's desktop and files, etc.
However, a fresh Leopard client install (OD binded) takes roughly 1~2 minutes to do the exact same thing.
I've gone through any log file I can find on server and client side, checked my DNS running on this xserve, created new users without "home" folders, and searched just about everywhere for an answer to this issue and am still empty handed.
This is not a show stopper issue, but there is something definitely not normal about what is happening with Leopard client logins.
I'm trying to explain this as best as I can without making a wall of text, but I'm sure I'll forget something, so please ask questions if you have them.
Things I'm seeing in the logs during the time of the login happening are:

All other logs don't appear to show anything of importance in between the time frame of Login window started and login window exited.
I'd like to know what exactly the client workstation is doing during this time with the server, but it looks like it just hangs and does nothing since nothing shows up in the logs that I can find during this time period where the client hangs. Maybe I can try an Ethereal trace to see what traffic is being sent back and forth during this timeframe. I don't know if this is a configuration issue on my part or a OD / AFP bug on Apple's part since Tiger clients connect perfectly.
Logouts happen immediately, so no problems there on that end. And everything else with the system is working flawlessly (besides the OD Crashing issue which I'm sure everyone is well aware of right now with 10.5.2).
Thank you to anyone that can assist in shedding some light on this issue and I apologize if I didn't provide enough information.

FOUND IT!!! Well for our install anyway. The culprit was AUTH2.
In our case computers would (randomly) have the same ..SLOW.. symptoms as your original post described, and the 'Apple Password Server log' on our server showed the same log entries.
It turned out that Single-Sign-On was being screwed up by two Authentication Authorities as applied in the LDAP (Computer and User) Attributes,
and showed up in the log as competing authentications from KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK and AUTH2. as follows:
Apr 30 2008 16:22:17 RSAVALIDATE: success.
Apr 30 2008 16:22:17 AUTH2: {0x4818c423083a8ddd0000000a0000000a, user} DIGEST-MD5 authentication succeeded.
Apr 30 2008 16:22:17 RSAVALIDATE: success.
Apr 30 2008 16:22:17 AUTH2: {0x4818c423083a8ddd0000000a0000000a, user} DHX authentication succeeded.
Apr 30 2008 16:22:17 KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK: user {0x4818c423083a8ddd0000000a0000000a, user} is in good standing.
Apr 30 2008 16:22:17 KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK: user {0x4818c423083a8ddd0000000a0000000a, user} authentication succeeded.
Apr 30 2008 16:22:18 RSAVALIDATE: success.
Apr 30 2008 16:22:18 AUTH2: {0x4818c423083a8ddd0000000a0000000a, user} DHX authentication succeeded.
Now, all the entries in our log (for remote logins) show:
May 2 2008 10:35:39 KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK: user {0x4818c423083a8ddd0000000a0000000a, user} is in good standing.
May 2 2008 10:35:39 KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK: user {0x4818c423083a8ddd0000000a0000000a, user} authentication succeeded.
May 2 2008 10:35:39 KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK: user {0x4818c423083a8ddd0000000a0000000a, user} is in good standing.
May 2 2008 10:35:39 KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK: user {0x4818c423083a8ddd0000000a0000000a, user} authentication succeeded.
May 2 2008 10:35:39 KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK: user {0x4818c423083a8ddd0000000a0000000a, user} is in good standing.
May 2 2008 10:35:39 KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK: user {0x4818c423083a8ddd0000000a0000000a, user} authentication succeeded.
i.e...Single-Sign-On and they're FAST.
no more AUTH2 entries overlapping with KERBEROS.
(local Authentications still show AUTH2 when using WGM)
The solution was pretty straight forward, But only applies if the system is using Single-Sign-On with AFP shared home folders and the Authentication for AFP is set to Kerberos.
Delete ;ApplePasswordServer entries from all user/computer combinations that are having problems.
I actually deleted it from all users and Computers. (Except the Server Computer and Directory Administrator that uses WGM. When I tested these, WGM would not authenticate Diradmin)
It can be done in the GUI from the inspector tab in WGM
find the attibute
dsAttrTypeStandard:AuthenticationAuthority
click to open
If there are two entries: ApplePasswordServer and Kerberosv5 then:
Edit the ApplePasswordServer entry (You can copy the text into an editor and save it for future use if needed, all entries are the same for all computers and users, so you only need 1 copy, and you can paste it back into new entry to put it back,...If needed....maybe for older systems, mine are all Leopard.
Now delete, OK, and Save the changes
After its done, check the logs again to make sure that all remote logons now show
KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK:
and they should be FAST.
Hope this helps

Client takes a long time to get network login screen from server

I have just installed the new xserve with 10.5.1
I have configured DNS
My problem is that my client 10.5 takes about 1 and a half minutes to get the network users show up on the login screen.
I have searched through the system logs and found the following. Don't know if these have anything to do with the slow client but it is a start. If anyone can shed some light on this I would appreciate it. Thanks Bails:)
following are some error messages

I just guess hete based on the first two logs entries that the server is unable to query DNS. All sorts of DNS lookup failures are a common source of such long timeout errors. It might be because your DNS is not set up right or because the DNS server is not accessible to the server (incorrect routing rules or network settings in general).

Takes a long time to wake from sleep?

If my 2012 Mac Mini has gone into sleep mode for some time it takes forever to wake up and become responsive again. There is also a lot of disk activity for some time after it wakes and it is very sluggish.
It is like it has gone into hibernation?
Any ideas?

Checking Disk Utility there are no S.M.A.R.T. errors.
Activity Monitor the top item most of the time is Kernal Task with around 2.5% CPU.
There is 13.18 GB Free Ram and Page Outs are 0 bytes.
In Console there are several repeating messages:

Macbook Pro takes long time to wake from sleep

Hi, I have recently purchased the latest Macbook Pro (Mid-2012, not the Retina display version), and I've noticed if the Macbook is left switched on, with the lid down and not plugged into the mains, it will take a long time to wake from sleep. I've looked for similar posts, and everyone describes it as a long delay, but for me the screen is greyed out (but transparent) and a process bar appears, which fills up and then the display loads properly, but it takes a further 30-50 seconds to activate things like the mouse and wifi etc (it feels like it has completely frozen).
Has anyone experienced this and is it normal? I looked up standby mode, but am led to believe this is only with the retina display models, so am a bit worried.

Hi Thumbnut,
This article may help explain what is going on:

No Numbers after March Lync 2013 Client update

Hi,
We have problems with the EWS sync after applying the March Lync 2013 client update. All contacts are synced from the users private contacts folder but no numbers are shown. After removing the update it is working fine again. We are not using UCS as
we are still on Exchange 2010.
Any ideas?
Kristian

I didn’t have this problem when I installed the update.
Did you download the update from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42232 or
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42249?
Please check if this issue happens to other users.

Pull large amounts of data using odata, client API and so takes a long time in project server 2013

We are trying to pull large amounts of data in project server 2013 using both client API and odata calls, but it seem to take a long time. How is this done
In project server 2010 we did this creating SQL views in both the reporting database and for list creating a view in the content database. Our IT dept is saying we can't do this anymore. How does a view in Project database or content database create issues?
As long as we don't add a field in the table. So how's one to do this with creating a view?

Hello,
If you are using Project Server 2013 on premise I would recommend using T-SQL against the dbo. schema in the Project Web Database for your reports, this will be far quicker that the APIs. You can create custom objects in the dbo. schema, see the link below:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee767687.aspx#pj15_Architecture_DAL
It is not supported to query the SharePoint content database directly with T-SQL or add any custom objects to the content database.

Exchange Online, Outlook 2013 - Copying large emails to public folders takes a long time

We are using Office 365 and when copying a large email (with attachment) to a public folder in exchange online, the copy takes a long time. Outlook does not let you do anything until it's finished coping. This is different to other folder
behavior in outlook where the sync with EO would happen in the background. Is there a way round this? It's really frustrating to copy a load of emails to a public folder.
Thanks.

Hi,
I recommend you ask in office 365 forum, there are more experts to help you:
