Lync 2013 FE quorum server

Hi,
1. how i can check which is the perimary quorum server in the FE pool lync 2013 ?
2. how i can change the quorum server before restart the FE server ?
Thanks,

1. Get-CsPoolFabricState will get you the node order. 2. You can't. Well not that I've been able to work out. The only option is to reset the fabric, which you can do of you run into issues with services not starting as a result of fabric issues.

Lync 2013 standard edition server disadvantages

I have 3000 users, client is so cost effective , wanna insisting on Lync 2013 standard edition server. no enterprise voice
Feature required :- IM.presence, A/V conf, persistence chat, external access.
planned servers :- 1 Standard server in DC, 1 in DR. 1 edge server in DC and 1 in DR
1. if i make a pool of standard servers, then will it serve as HA, if yes how much time wil take for failover and what would be the impact on users?
2. If complete DC is down how mch time would take for fail-over and what is the procedure, impact on users?
3. can i collocate persistence chat role on standard edition? any limitation? how backend sizing would be for persistence chat as sql express would be there
4. can i suggest any better solution with standard servers where HA in DC .

For 3000 users Standard Edition will be fine. Use the capacity planner to size out your environment. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36828
1. It won't really serve as HA, as pool pairing is the only option it's more of a DR solution. The RTO for a pool failover is 30mins. So it could take anywhere up to 30mins. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205079.aspx
2. Same as above. Here is how you failover http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204678.aspx
3. Yes, you can co-locate Persistent Chat on the Front End with Standard Edition. If sized correctly, there should be no performance issues.
4. The only option with Standard is Pool Pairing, so no better suggestions.

Lync 2013 Android - your server configuration has changed. Please restart Lync

Lync 2013 on Android devices is giving error after every 5 minute "your server configuration has changed. Please restart Lync".
Calls gets dropped when this error occurs.
we are using server 2012 R2 as reverse proxy and have changed the Proxy time out for External web service URL to 960 secs with no luck.

Hi M.Irfan84,
I would like to confirm the following information.
1. Do we have run “iisreset /noforce” to apply the change?
2. And does this issue only impact on Android device?

How to fetch presence in Lync 2013 from SQL server (using query)

We are running Lync 2013 setup with 5 FE and 2 BE SQL (mirrored) servers.
How can i get presence information for our users by script or SQL queries?
My Concern is to fetch out current presence information of a list of users (CSV file) by script (Powershell or SQL query) for automation purpose. So that one need not to go to Lync 2013 (or anything) Client for every single user, to check their corresponding
presence.
E.g Say a service desk agent is handling tickets of 200 users per day. So it will be time consuming for him/her to go to Lync 2013 client and check presence for every user. It would be better for SD agent to operate, if we could make a script to fetch presence
status for the list of 200 users.
We will fetch the information when required and send a mail to him/her.
i have asked this question under Presence and IM forum.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ef6287d1-e474-48ab-a411-f3813d256145/how-to-fetch-presence-information-in-lync-2013?forum=lyncprofile
been suggested to post it here.

Create a Store procedure which will give you integer value according to presence status:
USE [rtc]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[GetAvailability] Script Date: 05/01/2015 10:36:35 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
-- =============================================

-- Description: <fetch presence information of user>
-- =============================================
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetAvailability]
@_Publisher varchar(50)
AS
DECLARE
@agrregate_state varchar(500),
@availability varchar(50),
@index_first int,
@index_last int,
@index int
BEGIN
SET NoCount ON
set @agrregate_state = (select top 1 Data from dbo.DiagPublisherDataView(@_Publisher) order by LastPubTime desc);
set @index_first = (select CHARINDEX('<availability>',@agrregate_state));
set @index_last = (select CHARINDEX('</availability>',@agrregate_state));
set @index = @index_first + 14;
set @availability = (SUBSTRING(@agrregate_state,@index,@index_last - @index));
return CONVERT(int, @availability);

High availability for Lync 2013 persistent chat server and office web app server

I have 1500 users, need HA in primary data center and DR also. looking for HA and DR solution for persistent chat server and office web app server.
is below correct?
1. 2 persistent chat server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. can this be reduced or any changes?
2. 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. can this be reduced or any changes?
also do i need HLB for both roles?

1) In Lync Server 2013, there are improvements in both high availability and disaster recovery:
High availability improvements: SQL Server mirroring is used to provide high availability for the Persistent Chat Server content database and Persistent Chat compliance database within a data center (in-site).
Disaster recovery improvements: Persistent Chat Server supports a stretched pool architecture that enables a single Persistent Chat Server pool to be stretched across two sites (that is, a single logical pool in the topology, with servers in the pool physically
located across two sites). SQL Server Log Shipping is used for cross-site disaster recovery.
For more information about high availability and disaster recovery, see
Configuring Persistent Chat Server for High Availability and Disaster Recovery in the Deployment documentation.
2) for HA & DR, you can 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. and You will need HLB for office web app servers

Lync 2011 for MAC and Lync 2013 Server Std

Hello,
We are using a Lync 2013 Std (single-server) as a POC. It works fine for Windows-clients but I cannot connect using Lync 2011 for MAC from any MAC machine.
Using automatic configuration, I cannot connect to the Lync server.
Using manual configuration (I tried putting in just the server name and adding port 5061 to it, both to no avail) I keep getting 'Sign in to Lync failed. Please verify your credentials and try again.'.
Lync server is on the latest CU version with all components, MAC clients are on update 140321.
I noticed that Lync tries to create the OC_keycontainer_username@domain, but it seems not te be created. It flashes by and disappears again when the client fails to login. I have imported the Lync server certificate, issued by our windows 2012
root CA, on the Mac clients and have stored it in the 'Login' container.
Does anybody know if Lync2011 for Mac is supported for use with Lync server 2013 Std?
Cheers

Hi,
To clear cached data and corrupted certificates in Lync, you can do the following steps:
First, delete the following folders:
Users/Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.Lync
Users/Home Folder/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Microsoft Lync History
Then, delete any corrupted or cached certificates. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open the Keychain Access certificate management utility. To do this, in Finder, click Applications, click Utilities, and then click Keychain Access. Or, search for Keychain Access by using Spotlight.
2. In the left pane, click login, and then click Certificates.
3. In the right pane, find a certificate that's named Unknown or Communications Server, select it, and then delete it.
Note: You may have to unlock your keychain by using your password.
4. Close Keychain Access.
5. Restart Lync for Mac.
You can refer to Lync Mac for Lync Server online, but similar for Lync on-premises:

Lync 2013 Mobility Client - Video Call Issue (Everything Else works).

Hey Technet’ies,
I have been struggling for a couple of weeks now to resolve one of the final issues with a Migration/Upgrade Project on Lync Server 2013.
I have nearly every Lync Client Scenario working well except the Mobility Client (outside of the domain) which cannot successfully complete a Video
Call to a Windows Desktop Client (inside the domain) – the toast pops up, but when we click accept - it just times out after 15 seconds
K
The strange thing is every other Video Call scenario works;
Mobility Client (Outside Domain)
àWindows Desktop Client (Inside Domain)
= Unsuccessful
Mobility Client (Inside Domain)
à Windows Desktop Client (Inside Domain) = Successful
Mobility Client (Inside Domain)
à Windows Desktop Client (Outside Domain) = Successful
Mobility Client (Outside Domain)
à Windows Desktop Client (Outside Domain) = Successful
Mobility Client (Inside Domain)
à Mac Desktop Client (Inside Domain) = Successful
Mobility Client (Inside Domain)
à Mac Desktop Client (Outside Domain) = Successful
Mobility Client (Outside Domain)
à Mac Desktop Client (Outside Domain) = Successful
Mobility Client (Outside Domain)
à Mac Desktop Client (Inside Domain) = Successful
Mobility Client (All Scenarios)
à Mobility Client (All Scenarios) = Successful
Our setup is pretty standard;
All OS servers are Win Server 2012 R2
Lync 2013 Standard FE Server
Lync 2013 Edge Server
Reverse Proxy IIS AAR (Also Win Server 20012 R2)
Lync 2013 Desktop Clients, Lync 2011 Mac Clients, IOS and Android Mobility Clients – all latest versions.
External NAT (via Cisco Routers ACL’s)
Internal Windows Firewall Currently off on all Servers
All Certs / DNS Configured as per Technet Recommendation
I have reviewed / analysed a number of log/trace files – looking for some/any information on the problem;
Mobility Client (cmlogX.log)
Windows Desktop Client (*.etl) / Microsoft Message Analyzer
Lync 2013 Server (CSController)
With all my looking I could not make out an error except a timeout (15 seconds) on the Mobility Client log (which I currently can’t find).
Clearly we are missing something and I have gone up and down our implementation a number of times, the only semi-unknown is our old 2010 Pool / Central Management Server (which is currently pretty much redundant but the majority of users still on).
I would really appreciate any feedback anyone can provide or any insight anyone may have on this challenge.
Thanks in advance, Alex.
Alex

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the quick contact!!
Sorry - typo in my post, I have now corrected it;
Mobility
Client (Outside Domain) àWindows
Desktop Client (Inside Domain) = Unsuccessful
So I completely missed that blog post of yours (out of the 100's I have read) and you are the first person to clearly say (in simple terms) to point the lyncweb.contso.com to the public IP address on my internal DNS, I have just made that change and see
if it will correct the issue - will wait for replication.
Also I am running IIS / AAR as Reverse Proxy (not ISA) and had the Internal DNS Host A of lyncweb.contso.com and lyncdiscover.contso.com point back to my Reverse Proxy Internal NIC (i.e. 10.1.1.32) as the External NIC is isolated on in the Perimeter Network,
is this correct?
So it now goes like this
*Inside Domain*
lyncdiscover.contson.com --> 10.1.1.32 (Reverse Proxy Internal Nic) --> 10.1.1.26 (Front End Server)
lyncweb.contson.com --> 201.183.0.1 (Reverse Proxy External Nic - Public IP) --> 10.1.2.16 (Reverse Proxy External Nic) --> 10.1.1.26 (Front End Server)
Does this make any sense, I know ISA and IIS/AAR are pretty much interchangeable.
Thanks again Andrew and look forward to any feedback,
Alex.

Lync 2013 do not show own photo

We have Lync 2013 and Exchange 2010. I imported photos to our AD. In Outlook 2010 we can see our own photo, but Lync 2013 client do not display user own photo, but when user1
write a message to user2, user2 receive message with user1 photo. This is a global problem, not for one user.
Can you help me in this case, because I didn't find any useful information?

Ben, thank you for quick response.
Our client policy:
Identity
DisplayPhoto
Global
AllPhotos
I imported only 96x96 pixels size photo. I also tried to import photo manually, but it not make any change in this problem.
Import-RecipientDataProperty -Identity "Name Lastname" -Picture -FileData ([Byte[]]$(Get-Content -Path "C:\user.jpg" -Encoding Byte -ReadCount 0))
If Lync 2013 user type his name in Lync search field and open his contact in Lync 2013 client, he able to see
his photo, company name, phone numbers and etc...
Lync 2013 clients and server have installed latest updates.

Best path to Lync 2013

I've been running Lync 2010 Standard with a single edge server and a single front-end server. Recently I lost two of the four drives in my edge server simultaneously, and - of course - there is no backup. I've already got a virtual server started for Lync
2013 front-end. My current question is whether I need to rebuild the Lync 2010 Edge server, or just build a Lync 2013 edge server instead and not worry about the 2010 edge server loss. I wasn't sure if the 2010 edge server was required for the migration to
2013.
It seems that I should be able to get my topology built on the Lync 2013 front-end server, then use that topology to import into the 2013 edge server, and, finally, move my users to the 2013 front-end environment. Any guidance would be appreciated before
I begin the work. Thank you.
David

If it was just the edge, then don't worry about the loss and don't rebuild it. Deploy a new 2013 edge and move forward. If you see the 2010 edge in the topology builder just remove it from there and there's nothing left to do if everything is associated
with the 2013 replacement.

Lync 2013 conversation history

Hi All,
I had installed and configured (Lync 2013) DC, Lync 2013 and Edge server. My Lync user's are able to chat with internal and external user's without any issue. I don't have exchange or third party mailing server. Is there any way to save the lync chat conversation
history?
Thanks in Advance.
Irfan

By Design Lync obtains conversation history from Microsoft Exchange Server and displays it in the Conversations list so that users can view and continue their past conversations.
Hence and Exchange server or Exchange mailbox is must
However using the SDK you can have the history logged perhaps to database here is an Idea

Lync 2013 Audio headset - Dialtone while making voice calls wich cause a line disconnection at the end

Greetings,
I've searched for information on this, but haven't found a solution. I am using MS Office 2013 64bit as well as MS Lync 2013 64bit. Server level team has migrated my
mailbox recently to Cloud.
I've noticed with Lync, when I connect my headset (Plantronics and Microsoft Lync), I get a dial tone. We do not have Lync connected to a phone system. It plays the
dial tone over Lync. The only way to stop it is to end the call.
The weird part that my colleague is using the same computer. If he logs into the system using his own username, he doesn’t experience this issue although he uses the
same headset which I am using and having problem with!!
Why is there a dialtone on Lync when I login to my profile? It's not even connected to a phone line!
How to I disable a dialtone from happening?
Your assistance with this would be greatly appreciated!

I am having a similar issue. Setup:
Windows 7 x64
Jabra Pro 9460 headset with Jabra Control Center 2.14.5888.0
Lync 2013 (15.0.4623.1000) MSO 15.0.4645.1000 32-bit
Setup to use Jabra
Cisco IP Communicator 8.6.1.0 (Cisco IP Phone)
Setup to use Jabra
When I start a meeting in Lync via “Meet Now”, I immediately get:
A dial tone on the headset
Cisco IP Phone move to foreground and a call is started
Lync’s Join Meeting Audio window is displayed
No matter which option is select, including “Don’t join audio”, the dial tone continues.
If I hang up the call on the Cisco IP Phone, the Lync meeting indicates:
“You have been removed from this conversation.”
I have used this in the past, before a rebuild to x64 when everything was upgraded, without this interaction.
Is there a way to stop Lync from manipulating the Cisco IP Phone?
Have deleted the profile as indicated as the Answer above…no help.

OWA 2013 watchdog system errors for Lync 2013 -

OWA Farm is configured on two 2012 servers. Lync 2013 installed on server 2012 as well.
I can access all services, internally and externally without issues on the client end.
However, my OWA farm machines are marked as Unhealthy per get-OfficeWebAppMachines.
The OWA Farm system Logs show multiple events related to source Office Web Apps Monitoring, event ID(s) 1004, 1010, 2004, & 2010.
What are the BroadcastServicesWatchdog_Wfe & AgentManagerWatchdog that are running, reporting these event codes, and where can it be managed?
The actual event codes
1004:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

</HealthReport>

Yes, PPTs can be shared correctly; and the urls have been verified.
As to setting the http auth settings ~ this Farm isn't integrated with SharePoint, and is only in use for Lync 2013.
It is clear that these additional service executable , AgentManagerWatchdog, BroadcastServicesWatchdog, and BroadcastServicesWatchdog_Wfe
are from the OWA services to manage system health.
Where can they be configured, or worked with? They reiterate that
Reported
status: Contacting Participant.svc failed with an exception
Which leads to more alerts about the Unhealthy state of the machine. What is the "participant.svc" ?? that is cannot
contact? Is this internal to the OWA Farm, or is this a remote service connectivity check the Lync Front End servers?

Lync 2013 Mobility - Works for Android, not iOS

Here's the situation I am facing right now.
I have installed Lync 2013 for a client and have everything working finally but have hit a roadblock that I just can't seem to overcome.
The environment is this:
1 Lync 2013 Standard Edition Server (Front End)
1 Lync 2013 Persistent Chat Server
1 Lync 2013 Edge Server
1 Reverse Proxy Server
Like I said everything looks like it's working, save one thing. Clients using iPhones can't connect to the service but Android devices can. That's the only thing.
Here is a log snippet from my test device:

This user has no problems signing on to his computer or Lync there. Also, I can sign on to an Android device with his account.
If anyone has an idea on this I welcome it. Please help.

Hi Okrobpr,
Did you solved the issue with the help of Michael provided?
Basically the IOS clients do not support the basic NTLM Authentication method while Windows Phone and Android clients do. So you can check the UseWindowsAuth option is true running the command in Lync Server Management Shell:
Get-CsWebServiceConfiguration
If it shows NTLM you can run the command:
Set-CsWebServiceConfiguration –UseWindowsAuth Negotiate
Get-CsWebServiceConfiguration to make it to be Negotiate.
Please also make sure you have updated to the latest version for Lync Server and clients.
You can check if there are any errors in event viewer of FE server.
