Lync 2013 Director web services missing Persistant Chat
When deploying Lync 2013 Director server the web services are missing the virtual directory for Persistent Chat. Persistent Chat is using the same URL as other Lync web services, but since the directory is missing in the Director IIS, Persitent Chat failes.
If I use the Front End for web services Persistent Chat works fine. Has anyone seen this or maybe implemented a workarround?
Regards
Stian
I generally publish the front end pool's external web services FQDN for this. If you're using a reverse proxy, you should be able to redirect individual virtual directories to various internal pools, but I would just point this and all simple URLs
to a central front end pool.

Lync 2013, text does not display in chat box. Windows 7 pc with dual monitors.
Has anyone experienced an issue with Lync 2013 where when someone sends a chat the text doesn't display in the chat box. Or on occasion when initiating a chat, the text typed in doesn't display? The person experiencing this
behavior has dual monitors and often times when she is working on a document - then goes to Lync and initiates a chat and types, the words do not display in the chat box. Her graphics drivers are current, (8.15.10.2869). At one point she was able to drag the
chat box over to the monitor on the left and then the text displayed. Since then she has received a brand new laptop, windows 7 and the Lync behavior continues but now her dragging the chat box to other monitor no longer resolve text display issue. Ideas?Hi,
Did the issue happen if only use single monitor?
Please update to the latest version for Lync client 2013 and then test again.

Operations Manager 2012 Management Pack Catalog Web Service - Missing Management Packs
I am using SCOM 2012 R2 with UR5 and I see things like Exchange 2013 and Lync 2013 in the catalog when doing an MP import, but some other items like: SQL Server 2012/2014 and SharePoint 2013 are missing. I can download them from the MS download site,
but is this catalog web service being maintained?Hi Darren, I know what you mean. It would be nice to be able to pull the latest management packs as well as management packs available from the download site from the catalog via the Operations Console, however, the packs in the catalog are not comprehensive.
I highly recommend the SCOM management pack wiki which is kept up to date by the community. I use this myself :) An added benefit to using this wiki over the catalog is that this links to the download page for the management pack of interest from where you
can obtain the management pack and its documentation which often contains useful detail on what the management pack entails. The wiki link is below:

Hi Everyone
I'm having a little trouble getting my head around the setup for Lync external access.
I have setup an ADFS server, Lync 2013 server(works internally), 2012 web proxy server(doing nothing) and an edge server(currently doing nothing).
My understanding is that the Edge and Web proxy server are in "parallel", I.E, they both face the WAN as they perform different tasks.
The problem I have is that I'm unsure how to map everything correctly, I also don't understand how an external Lync client will get it's config. If my domain setup is:
something.domain.internal, and I would like to register a DNS entry externally as something.domain.external. How do I map those correctly via the web proxy and edge server? Sending the request via the firewall is easy enough, however I'm unsure how I'm supposed
to define them on my servers. Is the Lync server supposed to know about the external URL? Or does it not care?Hi,
The Edge Servers run the services that allow external access to IM and presence, conferencing, audio/video, and other media services. You can also configure the Edge Server to federate with other Lync Server and other XMPP deployments.
Lync Server uses the reverse proxy to publish a number of features, such as conferencing meetings, conference join locations, the address book, distribution list expansion, downloading meeting content, device updates, Mobility services, and more. Any reverse
proxy that can meet the requirements for publishing the necessary resource locations can be used.
You just need to define the Edge information in topology builder and publish it. Then configure the server as defined in topology and install local configuration store, setup Lync components and assign certificate. Here is a topology that
using private IP addresses and NAT.

Infopath 2013/REST Web Service - XML Data format
I've created an Infopath 2013 form and connected it to an existing REST Web Service. The form connects successfully, but I can't get to the nodes that contain the actual data. The REST results look like this:
<wddxPacket version='1.0'>
<header/>
<data>
<struct>
<var name='MIDDLENAME'><string>S</string></var>
<var name='FIRSTNAME'><string>John</string></var>
<var name='UID'><string>jdoe</string></var>
<var name='EMAIL'><string>[email protected]</string></var>
<var name='DEPARTMENT'><string>IT ADMINISTRATION</string></var>
<var name='TITLE'><string>Director</string></var>
<var name='LASTNAME'><string>Doe</string></var>
</struct>
</data>
</wddxPacket>
When I connect to the web service in InfoPath, here is what I see:
Notice that when we expand the tree, it only shows the "struct" node. How do I get down to the actual data fields?
Thanks in advance.
cflbasserHi cflbasser ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to query data using rest web service in InfoPath 2013.
For achieving your demand, please refer to the blog:

Lync 2013-Office Web Access Server-IPAD
I have configured a Office Web App server onto a Windows Server 2012. I was able to upload a PowerPoint from a Lync 2013 client both internally and externally. When I test external access to that PowerPoint from an IPAD using the 2013 clinet,
I am not able to see the PowerPoint. If I VPN into the network from the IPAD it works. There seems to be a problem with my AAR but, like I said my Lync 2013 client works fine though AAR. I can browse to the external url http:\\externalurl\hosting\discovery
and I can see the XML page. I have confirmed that I can ping the internal name on the AAR.
I am using the following pattern us/|^hosting/|^m/|^o/|^oh/|^op/|^p/|^we/|^wv/|^x/).*) in my AAR
Any help would be appreciated.Are you able to access the PowerPoint externally using the desktop Lync client?
If not, check that you are able to access your Web Conferencing ports on your Edge infrastructure. (usually TCP 443 on the webconf.domain.com (or whatever you called it) on the Edge server or TCP 444 if you have only a single IP on your Edge)
The test you've done, shows that you are able to connect to your Office WAC. But if you can't connect to webconf service, this can cause this type of issue - and it's not obvious.

Infopath 2013 SOAP Web Service Data Connection - Error: The file is not a valid XML file
Here are the steps to replicate the issue I’m having when adding lists.asmx or any other SharePoint web service in InfoPath 2013. This web service opens fine in the browser from my desktop. My account is a farm administrator and is added to the
web application’s User Policy. I can use these services just fine using Nintex 2013 Workflow.
Open InfoPath Designer 2013.
Select Blank Form and click Design Form button.
Click “Data” tab.
Click “From Web Service” and select “From SOAP Web Service”
Enter https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL for the web service definition.
Click Next.
Windows Security window pops up.
Enter a credential. I tried both my account and the farm account. My account is a farm admin and is added to the web application’s User Policy with Full Control.
Click OK. It prompts for credential multiple times.
I get below this error messages:
Sorry, we couldn't open https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL
InfoPath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web Service description.
The file is not a valid XML file.
Not enough storage is available to process this command.
We have a project that is in need of these services using InfoPath so any help is greatly appreciated.Hi Brian_TX,
For your issue, try to the following methods:
Change your service binding in web.config to:binding="basicHttpBinding". It seems in VS it defaults to wsHttpBinding.
Replace all instances of "parameters" from the web service wsdl with the name "parameter"
There are some similar articles about the issue, you can have a look at them:

Lync internal / external web services FQDN
I have a Standard edition 2013 FE server
Should my internal/external web services url in DNS point to my FE internal IP or my Reverse proxy public IP?
For mobility it says it should point to the external IP but for address book updates etc surely I want my internal windows clients using the FE pool directly?
I am unable to differ them on 2013 standard edition...
***Don't forget to mark helpful or answer***The external web services works in conjunction with a reverse proxy in the perimeter network. It provides clients external access to by using these web services. The FQDNs configured here are sent to clients when they log on, and are used to make an HTTPS
connection back to the reverse proxy when connecting remotely. The reverse-proxy server forwards the external web service FQDN to an internal hardware load balancer, or directly to the pool. The reverse proxy must be able to resolve the external web services
FQDN to the IP address of the internal Web server. The external web services FDQN must be resolvable in the public Internet.
If your internal server is a Standard Edition server, the internal FQDN is the Standard Edition server FQDN. If your internal server is a Front End pool, the FQDN is a hardware load balancer virtual IP (VIP) that load balances the internal web farm servers.
A hardware load balancer is required in a Front End pool with more than one Enterprise Edition server. A load balancer is not required for a Standard Edition server or a single Enterprise Edition Front End Server.

SharePoint 2013 Infopath Web Service Get File within list permissions
Hello,
I am looking for a web service to pull a form within a form libraries permissions. So a user creates a form and requests access for him/herself and whomever he/she wants to have access to the form, I then go to file share with and grant only these
people access. lets say I now have 2000 forms and and I want a column that says these people have been granted access to this file instead of clicking each file going to properties and checking share with permissions. What web call would I use
for this, been searching and keep finding how to share with people instructions and now how to use a web service to pull the names.Hi Ahmed,
Please go to task list page and click customize form, then publish it in the InfoPath form designer.
Now add a new page in SharePoint site, insert task list web part, then insert an InfoPath form web part. Click the triangle on the top right corner > Edit web part > Connections > Get form from, see if you could select task now.

Server admin web services missing
I just installed Server Admin Tools on my Lion Mac Mini Server and when I go to Settings->Services the checkbox for "web" doesn't appear. I am running MAMP on the box. Can someone tell me how to get the web services to appear?
web services is no longer part of server admin. You have to use the Lion server app to manage websites. This caught me out as well.

I cannot see the reports tab in the webservice interface, I have been granted the permisions to access the module but still it is not displayed. Does anyone know what the solution is???
Hi,
Are you talking about the reports tab in P6 EPPM (web Access)? P6 release 8 onwards the reports tab is added when you install and link the BI with P6. Otherwise there is no Reports tab is avilable in P6 r8 onwards. Have you installed BI or any other reporting tools for reporting purpose?

Lync 2013- Standard Edition - Persistent Chat
What is the capacity of the Persistent Chat if it is collocated on Lync 2013 Standard edition front end ?
ie, number of chat rooms /usage?
In a Lync 2013 standard edition deployment if Persistent Chat is on separate server, can the SQL be offloaded to central SQL cluster enviornment or it will be held on the local server?I haven't seen a chart that really defines the capacity, and it's difficult to measure because it's difficult to say how active the rooms will be or how much content you'll generate. That much is different from organization to organization.
There are some guidelines in general here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg615006(v=ocs.15).aspx but they don't really touch the standard model.
The pChat database can be offloaded to a central SQL cluster if you'd prefer, there are no requirements to collocate it with the local Lync databases.

OCS Migration to Lync 2013 Delegate which Director that authenticates
Hello - I am in the middle of a migration from OCS 07 to Lync 2013. Everything is working pretty well. I have a new Lync Server with some users migrated over to it already and communication is fine between the Lync Desktop Clients and the OCS Desktop Clients.
We now want to use the Mobile Lync Client so I have installed Lync 2013 Client on my iPhone 5S. I was able to install the root cert on the phone however, when I try to sign in, I am getting the following error:
"We can't sign you in because your organization doesn't support this version of Lync. Please install Lync 2010 from your mobile store."
I am running Lync 2013 Standard Edition and I am running Lync 2013 Client for iOS. I can only assume that because the OCS director is still running it is handling authentication and its not compatible with Lync 2013. Is this a correct assumption?
That being said, and if that's indeed the issue, is there a way to delegate the Lync 2013 Director to take over authentication?
Thank you!
Russ, MCSEHi there,
Lync 2013 Mobile clients relies on UCWA services to connect to Lync server 2013 services, also Lync mobile autodiscovery depends on Lync web services publishing. Therefore you should make sure that lyncdiscover.sipdomain and lyncdiscoverinternal.sipdomain
points to Lync server 2013 web services and not OCS 2007.
specifically Lyncdiscover.sipdomain should point to the public IP address on which the Lync External WebServices are published.
so it is quite sure that if the above requirements are not met and especially the DNS configuration for Lyncdiscover and lyncdiscoverinternal mobile clients will not be able to connect.

Charbel Hanna

401 Unauthorized Error When calling a SharePoint REST web service from SharePoint 2013 Workflow
We have our Workflow Manger installed on the same server as our SharePoint 2013 WFE development environment. When creating a SharePoint 2013 Workflow all Calls to a SharePoint 2013 REST web service results in a 401 Unauthorized error.
As an example I created a simple workflow that should return a JSON result. The REST Url returns the results in the browser without error.
Set Variable:webServiceUrl to https://<hostnamedsitecollection>/_vti_bin/client.svc/web/lists/getbytitle('ISR%20Approvers')/Items?$select=Title&$filter=Title%20eq%20%27General%27
then Build{...} Dictionary (Output to Variable:requestHeaders)
then Call [%Variable:webServiceUrl%] HTTP web service with request (ResponseContent to Variable:responseContent |ResponseHeaders to responseHeaders | ResponseStatusCode to Variable:responseCode)
The RequestHeader is set to the requestHeaders variable though the web service call properties
then Log Variable:responseCode to the workflow history list
After manually running the workflow in SharePoint on a list item in the ISR Approvers list it Logs "Unauthorized" in the Workflow History Log. It does this with every SharePoint REST web service call that I have tried through the workflow.
It doesn't have anything to do with the Workflow Manger being installed on the same machine as the SharePoint WFE does it?
Thank You for any insightHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had 401 Unauthorized Error when calling a SharePoint REST web service from SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
Please make sure you use the ‘Call HTTP Web Service’ correctly.
You can enter the URL into the brower to check whether it is correctly.
You need to
create the Request header requestHeaders
using a Dictionary:
Accept : application/json;odata=verbose
Content-Type : application/json;odata=verbose
To associate the
requestHeaders variable, select the Call action
property, set the RequestHeaders property to
requestHeaders.
Please refer to the following articles:

External users cannot manage a persistent chat rooms - result in "Internal Server Errors"
Hi All,
I have small Lync setup based on a Standard Edition server, with the Persistent Chat server co-located on the SE. User within the organisation can manage chat room just fine via the web interface, yet external users are presented with an Internal Server
Error.
Looking at IIS, I can see an Application added to the Lync Internal Web site for Persistent Chat (which points to a physical location of "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2013\Web Components\PersistentChat\Int"), and on the Lync External
site, I see a virtual directory pointing to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2013\Web Components\PersistentChat\Ext".
Trying to navigate to the external site (on port 4443) on the SE server results in the following error:
