Lync 2013 Cumulative Update and Lync 2010 CM database ??

I was going through the update process for our new Lync 2013 Enterprise install, I just have a FE server up at this point. I ran the LyncServerUpdateInstaller and it ran fine. I then ran through the Backend SQL updates, and of course I
get to the end and read...
Note In a coexistence environment that contains both Lync Server 2010 and Lync Server 2013 in which the Central Management Service is located on a Lync Server 2010 pool, do not run the
Install-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase cmdlet. If you later move the Central Management Service to a Lync Server 2013 pool, you have to run the
Install-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase cmdlet to apply the changes.
And yes we have a Lync 2010 Standard server running and the CM DB is on the Lync 2010 pool. I haven't noticed any problems yet, Do I need to be concerned about this? And if so how do I fix it? I only have a test account on the Lync
2013 server at this point. So I could uninstall if needed.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
As I know, it better to move the Central Management Store from Lync server 2013 database back to Lync server 2010 database firstly. Then if needed, you can uninstall the Lync server 2013 database.
You can refer to the link below:

Lync 2013 Cumulative updates with coexistence 2010

Hello
I am pretty new lync admin, i have successfully done a coexistence with 2010 and 2013
I just need clarification on the steps for a 2013 standard edition cu updates.
From the site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2809243 I am seeing that I need to
1) run LyncServerUpdateInstaller.exe
2)run Install-CsDatabase -ConfiguredDatabases -SqlServerFqdn SE.FQDN -Verbose
3) Do not run Install-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase until after full 2013 migration
4) Enable the Mobility service, run the following cmdlet:
Enable-CsTopology
5) Run %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Lync Server 2013\Deployment\Bootstrapper.exe
Just need those steps confirmed and..
1) Just to confirm that I dont need to worry about output of Get-CsPoolUpgradeReadinessState command
2) We dont have Mobility service, do I still need to run Enable-CsTopolgy for Standard edition?
Thanks !

Thank Iain
Just to confirm it is lync 2013 CU updates I am trying to perform on standard pool
When i run the CsPoolUpgradeReadinessState
I get State:insufficientActiveFrontEnds and IsReadForUpgrade True
According to the update notes, they only speak of running cspoolupgradereadiness on Enterprise edition pool.
So i just wanted to know if the output of cspoolupgradereadinessState can be ignored or concerned about for the updates.

Lync 2013 desktop usesr and Lync Web users.

When i send IM to users within my group using Lync 2013 desktop client, the recipients on Lync Web app does not get my font color or font syle. Is there settings to get the font color and font style I use on the desktop client to appear in the Lync
web app users windows as I send it over.

Hi,
I test in my Lync environment but didn’t find the issue. As Anthony said, there is no set except the setting “Change Font…” on Lync client Options. You can try to download the latest version for Lync client from Microsoft Website
and then test again.

[Lync 2013] - Desktop Sharing and taking control

Hello,
In Lync 2013 when someone shares his/her screen and I'm taking control of the shared screen I have the following problem:
Everything works fine when I'm in control with other person's desktop, however when the Lync IM/Sharing window looses focus and then the focus is regained by clicking on the shared desktop, all the input is frozen in the Lync IM window.
for example:
I take control of shared screen, do something on the shared desktop, then I open something on my own PC (the Lync window is loosing focus at this moment), then when I click on the shared screen inside Lync IM window to continue controlling the remote desktop
any input to the Lync window is "frozen".
There is some error sound comming everytime I click in the Lync IM window during this time - just as there was some invisible popup that is blocking interaction with parent window
to solve this I have to once again loose focus of Lync IM window and then regain it again.
This is on many machines (Windows 7 64bit / Windows 8.1 Preview 64bit) using Lync 2013 32bit with and without updates
I'm using multiple monitors, but it's the same on a single display - just open Lync IM/Sharing window in one half of the screen and open notepad on other half (don't minimize windows, just switch between them during sharing)
Best Regards

Hi Bartek,
Did the issue happen on Windows 7/8 32 bit using Lync 2013 32 bit?
Try Clean Boot to disable all non-Microsoft services and start Lync again:
How to Clean Boot:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Since the OS is 64 bit, please remove Lync 2013 32 bit and install Lync 2013 client 64 bit and apply the latest update then test the issue again.

Lync 2013 On Premises to Lync Online, one way presence and IM

I am attempting to federate my on premise domain with a domain hosted on Office 365.
At the moment, the O365 users can add and see presence of the on-premise users, and can send IM messages as well. But not vice versa.
I've scoured the internet for any answers, but have not found anything that has helped my situation.
So far I've verified:
1. The domain has been added to both sides allowed domains sections and the LyncOnline has been enabled in SIP federated providers
2. The on prem Edge server can resolve the 0365 Edge address
3. The external certificate is from a trusted source, with all SAN's configured.
4. All correct ports are open on the firewall inbound, and I can access sipfed.online.lync.com 5061 from the Edge server via telnet
5. The remote connectivity analyser connects with no errors to my edge server on prem
6. External users can connect to Lync On Prem
7. Exchange Online interoperability is working. I.e I can set my presence via OWA, and the Lync 2013 client updates instantly
Could there be anything I have missed? Before deploying this Lync on prem, I had a complete test lab environment working and Federation was working without issue.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Edge server configuration is the most likely cause
what happens if repeat the test for Remote onprem user does this work?
What is access edge port set to on the edge server?

Is Lync 2013 perfectly compatible with Office 2010?

Microsoft Office 2010 and Lync 2013 are two diferrent instances, but they use some common elements.
In our company we have over a hundred MS Office 2010 licences and we dont need/afford to change them all to 2013. Now we want to install Lync 2013 and I wonder if there could be compatibility issues or, if Lync 2013 can modifiy the common files they use,
so that certain functions in Office 2010 will not be available or not work properly.
Is there a risk of this happening or they can work together "in complete harmony"? This is very important to me and I cannot afford to make a mistake. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi Cristi,
Checkout these Lyncs on compatibility and interoperability:
Lync 2013 Compatibility http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412817.aspx
Client Interoperability http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204672.aspx
As far as having Lync 2013 & Office 2010 on the same PC, largely it SHOULD be ok and I've not had many issues. The exception to this was on a recent Citrix deployment, where for some reason running Lync 2013 was causing the Office 2010 instance to rerun
everytime it was started. All desktops were ok though.
My suggestion is to make sure you thoroughly test with every scenario that you can think of before rolling out to the masses.

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

WSP deployment and retraction error after December 2013 cumulative update.

I have installed December 2013 cumulative update on my front end and app servers and ran the configuration wizard. Everything was working fine until I updated the wsp, as it showed me an error on Central admin sites farm solution page.
And the error was - 'Cabinet file is corrupt : Failed to extract the cab file in the solution. "
but I could deploy the same wsp in other environment without December cumulative update.
Worst thing is that It throws the same error when I try to retract the wsp, and Now I am stuck because I can't add or retract a solution.
Any help appreciated.

Check SharePoint administration service is running or not. It is is running please restart(stop and start) and try to uninstall again.
Try to use the below command to remove the solution.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 7 Setup - Active Directory Topology service on server 'TopologyClientTcpEndpoint (localhost)' returned an error - Set-SharedConfigDC

What am I trying to do?
I have tried installing Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 7 Setup on a fresh install of Windows Server 2012 R2 but it gets stuck when running the setup exe on Step 8 of 14 “Mailbox Transport Service” I have included full
error logs at the bottom of the page but the basics are in order it will throw which loop around are:

Exchange is currently running in the envirmonet on 2010 Sp3 I am installing 2013 CU7 fresh so I can migrate the databases over.
What am I running?
2 X DC on domain and forest functional level 2008R2 both writable
1 X fresh install of Windows 2012 R2 which is domain joined
What have I tried?
Checked Ipv6 is enabled on all DC NICS and Existing Exchange Servers
Rebooted every server
Run setup as Administrator
My account is part of the domain Enterprise Admin group
Tried adding "Exchange Server" or "Exchange Enterprise Servers" to the group policy and doing the relevant gpupdate /force and reboot :
Computer Configuration Windows Settings
Security Settings + Local Policies
User Rights Assignment Mange auditing and security log
Turned off firewall on DC and Exchange Server even stopped the service
Turned off all AV on the DC and Exchange Server
Checked I could telnet to global catalog servers on port 3268 which I can
Checked the global catalog records existed in DNS which they all do
Done the obvious ping tests all round which confirms connectivity
Schema has been prepared using appropriate commands before running the setup exe
setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IacceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Making sure the following path has full permissions:
EXCHANGE14:\Current\Release\Shared\Datacenter\Setup
Restarted Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service
DcDiag all looks good
What have I noticed that is suspicious?
Microsoft Exchange Transport service will not start even though both of its dependences services have started:
Microsoft Filtering Management Service
Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service
It will eventually error with
“Windows could not start the Microsoft Exchange Transport Service on local computer
Error 1053: This Service did not respond to the start of control request in a timely fashion”

Exchange 2013 Cumulative Update 5 Install Issue

I have tried installing Exchange 2013 Cumulative Update 5 on our server but it is failing at the Mailbox role: Transport Service section with the following error. I am running the command prompt as Administrator. Any help would be great.
Error: The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); Set-LocalPermissions

Hi Tim,
From the Exchange setup log description, there is only one error, "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.". The error indicates that it is a permission problem. I would like to verify if you add the account to the local admin group. If no, please
add the account to the admin group and continue to install the CU5.
If the issue persists, I recommend you download a new CU5 for Exchange 2013 and reinstall it to check the result.
For you convenience:

Exchange 2013 Sp1 says that it is 'Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 3 Unattended Setup'

So, I have decompressed my brand new download of Exchange 2013 SP1. This was downloaded from the link at the bottom of the post.
So to start my upgrade I have tried to start by running the schema preparation which then advises me that I am welcomed to:
'Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 3 Unattended Setup'
Is this poor QA or was the incorrect file uploaded?
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41994

Hello,
Powershell need full path to file you want to run.
So you should run .\setup.exe instead of just setup.exe.
Hope this help.

Exchange 2010/2013 co-existence and Lync integration

Hello,
I'm looking at integrating Lync Server 2013 into my lab environment, which consists of a mixed 2010/2013 Exchange environment.
UM - Exchange 2010
CAS - Exchange 2013
MBX - Exchange 2010
MBX - Exchange 2013
I've been reading about associating CAS and MBX servers with UM dial plans, when integrating with Lync.
The Technet articles, and MS Press documentation I've read suggests that
all CAS and MBX servers need to be associated with the dial plan.
Does this include the 2010 MBX servers?
As far as I was aware, in a co-existence environment between 2010/2013 all traffic is proxied to the MBX servers via the CAS 2013 role?
Does this rule still apply when UM and Lync exist in the environment?
Also, does the 2010 UM server need to be associated with the Lync UM dial plan, or does the 2013 CAS server handle this traffic as well?
Thanks
Matt

So, just the UM server in 2010 would be associated with the dialplan, you won't even have the option to add a 2010 MBX server.
The traffic isn't proxied by the 2013 CAS, it's more of a redirect, and yes this happens. A lot of what will happen under the hood will be somewhat transparent, Lync will determine where it wants to send the UM traffic. You can
watch this in the Lync logger by watching SIPStack.
The 2010 UM server can be associated with the dial plan, but you might not need it unless you're trying to recreate that specifically in your lab. Exchange 2013 UM can serve mailboxes on an Exchange 2010 server.
I would suggest just deploying it in your lab and watching what happens, that's half the fun. :)
