Lync 2013 Hosting Pack v2 Skype integration

I have a Lync 2013 Hosting deployment. Hosting Pack v2 supports public IM with Skype, but in the guide the setup steps are missing. I configured the Federation
(federated provider ect.) like an on premise deployment and enabled Public IM connectivity on the Tenant:
Identity
     : Global
AllowedDomains
: Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.Edge.AllowList
BlockedDomains
AllowFederatedUsers   : True
AllowPublicUsers
: True
SharedSipAddressSpace : False
When I add a skype user to my buddy list, I cannot see the presence and in the Lync Front End Logs I get the following failure that the domain is not part of the tenant allow list.
Message-Body: <reportError xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/09/sip/error-reporting"><error toUri="sip:***[email protected]"
callId="c46a551b0e28439482edd9f3cbbc4a78" fromTag="eeef2d866f" toTag="F89423B3CF5DDBEF396B7A8FD53211EF" contentType="application/sdp;call-type=im" responseCode="403" requestType="INVITE"><diagHeader>27000;reason="To-Uri

What can I do to enable public connectivity on the tenant without adding the skype Domain (could be any Live ID) to the tenant allow list?
Greetings

Did you provision Skype Federation for the specific domain?

Lync 2013 hosting pack - CU July 2013 Support

Does the Lync 2013 Hosting Pack support the cumulative update of July?
What are the known issues?

My experience was running the LyncServerUpdateInstaller and run Install-CsDatabase on the servers. I haven't had it break mobility though.
With that in mind so far you only do that when you first install it because there hasn't been any further updates to Lync 2013 Hosting since it was released.
I have a ticket opened right now about the bad documentation on the deployment guide. My simple url wasn't working because the document says to provide -Tenant $GUID for the meeting URL but it didn't work 100%. However it worked sometimes!!
The Microsoft tech pointed me to a guys blog (yes thats right.. a non-microsoft blog) that shows to drop the -Tenant $GUID from the meeting URL but make sure you keep the -Tenant $GUID for the dialin url.
I basically wined and told them I wanted the 100% right way to do it. I wanted them to tell me either the deployment guide was wrong or there was a bug. Two weeks and no reply yet and they just update to say "They are still looking into it"
Not to mention when I opened the ticket they tried saying "Well this is still a new product". I said its been out for almost a freakin year and its not a NEW product.

Lync 2013 Hosting pack tenant meet url returns 404

Hi all,
I have a 2 problems in the Hosting pack:
1. Meet urls are correctly generated for tenants (IE https://meet.hoster.com/tenantdomain/user/confID) but they return a 404 when browsing to the meeting from a browser
2. Office web apps presentations just never work. It just says that it cannot connect to the presentation server.
For problem 1, what I tried was:
1. Set Set-Cssimpleconfiguration -UseBackendDatabase $True -Tenant <TenantID>
2. Tried repairing the IIS Rewrite module as per http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/e1fbdaa9-0961-4171-ab51-91b8d37432de/action?threadDisplayName=lync-meetings-not-available-404-for-every-url
3. Made sure all my domain maps are correct
4. All certs seem 100% fine.
What is weird is:
https://dialin.hoster.com/dialin - works
https://meet.hoster.com/meet - works (Default cannot join the meeting page)
https://meet.hoster.com/tenantdomain/tenantuser/confid - Does not work
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
\\Tjopsta// http://www.tjopsta.net

Hi,
For first question, try the following steps:
Remove IIS URL Rewrite Module 2 in Control Panel.
Run Step 2: Setup or Remove Lync Server Components with Lync Server Deployment Wizard.
For second question, check if you can access Office Web Apps Server discovery URL via browser.
Check if you associate Office Web Apps Server with Front End pool.

Lync 2013 Hosting Pack - cannot join external non federated meetings anonymously with desktop client

Hello,
I Have a setup of LHP 2013. We have been testing federation and connections to external on-premises meetings.
Right now users with lync desktop client (2013 and patched) cannot connect to external 3rd party meetings without using the ?SL=1 and using the Wep App.
Desktop Client gives error on log file:

From some old post I have read that was a bug in Lync client that did not allow fail-back to anonymous login with non-federated lync organization, but this has been fixed long ago.
If I do setup a federation beetween the organizations the meetings connect ok.
Thanks for help!
BR, Jouni

Hi Johan,
Lync client in test has been fully updated.
I Think I found what was causing this. In my tests, I added and removed domains from allowed and blocked domains list, in tenant config.
First after tenant organization has been provisioned the AllowedDomains looks like this:
Get-CsTenantFederationConfiguration -Tenant 10828ff2-165d-440f-9c00-6ce374ff0c6d
Identity              : Global
AllowedDomains        : Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.Edge.AllowAllKnownDomains
BlockedDomains        : {}
AllowFederatedUsers   : True
AllowPublicUsers      : True
SharedSipAddressSpace : False
And joining to non-federated meetings works correctly.
After fiddling with the allowed and blocked domains settings (adding and removing domains) settings look like this:
Identity              : Global
AllowedDomains        : Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.Edge.AllowList
BlockedDomains        : {}
AllowFederatedUsers   : True
AllowPublicUsers      : True
SharedSipAddressSpace : False
When I check what the "AllowList" keeps in, it is empty as it should:
$tenant = Get-CsTenant | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "tenantname"}
$x = Get-CsTenantFederationConfiguration -Tenant $tenant.TenantId
$x.AllowedDomains
AllowedDomain : {}
If I set the AllowedDomain backup to original form meeting connections begin to work.
$all = New-CsEdgeAllowAllKnownDomains
Set-CsTenantFederationConfiguration -Tenant 10828ff2-165d-440f-9c00-6ce374ff0c6d -AllowedDomains $all
But now im just not very sure how I should setup the federation settings as per tenant/ExternalAccesspolicy/AccessEdgeConfiguration.. hmm..

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

Lync 2013 multitenant hosting pack and lync 2010 on-prem - coexistence options, alternative migration scenarios

In post http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/8a22eed7-cc63-4f9e-b422-3c5a57fb32b0/lync-2013-multitenant-pack-and-lync-2010?forum=lyncdeploy , which was already answered, the answer is no, you cannot migrate from 2010 on-prem. to lync 2013
hosted pack.
Trying to get my head around #1 -why, and #2 -what other alternatives are available.
Lisa answered that there can only be 1 CMS per forest. Is it one CMS per forest, or
one CMS per front end pool in a forest? Meaning you can have different CMS pools. If that were true, we could migrate users to a different front end pool in a coexistence scenario between 2010 on-prem to 2013 hosted pack.
Has anyone done this?
This is tough. I guess a cutover then from 2010 to 2013 multitenant hosted pack would be what?
1. Uninstall 2010, decommission users, decom environment/servers.
2. Fresh install in same AD environment of 2013 hosted pack.
That's tough for our users to make such a transition and have potentially days of downtime.
Is there no other way to do this?
Josh

It is one CMS per forest.
There is no official guide to move from Microsoft Lync Server to Microsoft Lync Server Multitenant Hosting Pack.

Lync 2013 certificate requirements for multiple SIP domains

Hi All,
I am engaged with a client in respect of a Lync 2013 implementation initially as a conferencing platform with a view to enabling EV functions (inc. PSTN conferencing) in the future. They initially need to support 30 SIP domains and eventually
around 100 SIP domains which is proving to be either not possible or severely cost prohibitive. Their current certificate provider, Thawte, can only support up to 25 SANs and have quoted them 5 figures. We tend to use GeoTrust as they are cheaper but they
appear to have a limit of 25 SANs. GoDaddy appear to support up to 100 SANs for a pretty reasonable cost. My questions are as follows:
Is there a way that I’m missing of reducing the number of SANs required on the Edge server?
Use aliases for access edge FQDNs - Supported by desktop client but not by other devices so not really workable
Don’t support XMPP federation therefore removing the need for domain name FQDNs for each SIP domain
Is there a way that I’m missing of reducing the number of SANs required on the Reverse Proxy server?
Friendly URL option 3 from this page:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398287.aspx
Client auto-configuration:
i.
Don’t support mobile client auto-configuration in which case no lyncdiscover.sipdomain1.com DNS records or SANs would be required.
ii.
Support mobile client auto-configuration over HTTP only in which case CNAME records are required for each SIP domain (lyncdiscover.sipdomain1.com, etc. pointing to lyncdiscover.designateddomain.com) but no SANs are required.
iii.
Support mobile client auto-configuration over HTTPS in which case DNS records are required for each SIP domain and a SAN entry for each SIP domains is also required. This is because a DNS CNAME to another domain is not supported over
HTTPS.
If the answer to 1 and/or 2 is no, are there certificate providers that support over 100 SANs?
How do certificate requirements differ when using the Lync 2013 hosting pack? I would think that this issue is something that a hosting provider would need to overcome.
Would the Lync 2013 Hosting Pack work for this customer? The customer uses SPLA licensing so I think is eligible to use the hosting pack but not 100% sure it will work in their environment given that client connections are supposed
to all come through the Edge where their tenants will be internal and also given the requirement for an ACP for PSTN conferencing.
Many thanks,

Many thanks for the response.
I was already planning to use option 3 from the below page for simple URLs to cut down on SAN requirement.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398287.aspx
What are the security concerns for publishing autodiscover over port 80? I.e. Is this only used for the initial download of the discovery record and then HTTPS is used for authentication? This seems to be the case from the following note on the below page:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/hh690030.aspx
Mobile device clients do not support multiple Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates from different domains. Therefore, CNAME redirection to different domains is not supported over HTTPS. For example, a DNS CNAME record for lyncdiscover.contoso.com that redirects
to an address of director.contoso.net is not supported over HTTPS.
In such a topology, a mobile device client needs to use HTTP for the first request, so that the CNAME redirection is resolved over HTTP. Subsequent requests then use HTTPS. To support this scenario, you need to configure your reverse proxy with a web publishing
rule for port 80 (HTTP).
For details, see "To create a web publishing rule for port 80" in Configuring the Reverse Proxy for Mobility. CNAME redirection to the same domain is supported over HTTPS. In this case, the destination domain's certificate covers the originating
domain.”
I don’t think SRV records for additional SIP domain access edge is a workable solution as this is not supported by some devices.
As per the below article:
http://blog.schertz.name/2012/07/lync-edge-server-best-practices/
“The recommended approach for external client Automatic Sign-In when supporting multiple SIP domains is to include a unique Access Edge FQDN for each domain name in the SAN field. This is no longer a requirement (it was in OCS) as it is possible to
create a DNS Service Locator Record (SRV) for each additional SIP domain yet have them all point back to the same original FQDN for the Access Edge service (e.g. sip.mslync.net).
This approach will trigger a security alert in Windows Lync clients which can be accepted by the user, but some other clients and devices are unable to connect when the Automatic Sign-In process returns a pair of SRV and Host (A) records which do not share
the same domain namespace. Thus it is still best practice to define a unique FQDN for each additional SIP domain and include that hostname in the external Edge certificate’s SAN field”.
===================
1. Basically the requirement is to initially provide Lync conferencing services (minus PSTN conferencing) to internal, external, federated and anonymous participants with a view to providing PSTN conferencing and therefore enterprise voice services later.
2. The customer currently supports close to 100 SMTP domains and wants to align their SIP domains with these existing domains. The structure of their business is such that “XXX IT Services” provide the IT infrastructure for a collection of companies who
fall under the XXX umbrella but are very much run as individual entities.
Question:
Would you agree that I’m going to need a SAN for every SIP domain’s access edge FQDN?
Thanks.

Exchange AA transfer to extension to Lync 2013

I'm having issues getting the Exchange AA to transfer to extensions when using key mapping. Basically you can say a person's name and it will transfer to their extension just fine but not with the key mapping.
We are using Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4 with Lync 2013 Hosting Pack.
I found the issue but not sure how to go about resolving it.
Lync User: [email protected]
Lync Extension: +15554443333;ext=151
Exchange Extension: 151
Dial plan in Lync 2013 will convert 3-digit numbers to: +15554443333;ext=$1 for these users
Each company has their own dial plan. This particular dial plan in Lync translates the 3-digit to the full number. The problem is the transfer from Exchange AA to Lync doesn't seem to use the user's dial plan. I also cannot put a translation on the Exchange
side to do this type of format: +15554443333;ext=$1
It looks like with the key mapping it is trying to transfer to this:
REFER-TO: <sip:151;[email protected];user=phone>
P-ASSERTED-IDENTITY: <sip:[email protected]>
But of course that doesn't exist. The SIP for this user is sip:[email protected]
I ran the Lync Debugging utility and saw this:

Hi,
You need create a UM auto-attendant for each Lync Server dial plan with the following command:
New-umautoattendant -name <auto attendant name> -umdialplan < name of dial plan created in step 1> -PilotIdentifierList <auto attendant phone number in E.164 format> -SpeechEnabled $true -Status
Enabled

Lync 2013 On Premises integration with Exchange Online Unified Messaging

I am working on deploying Lync 2013 Server on premises and integrating it with Exchange Online. We do not use Exchange on premises.
My question is how to integrate with Unified Messaging specifically. Other functions like Calendar, call logs seem to be working fine.
There are many guides online on how to do this, and I have read many and attempted to follow with no luck. All seem to assume that UM has already been deployed on prem which I don't have. Is this possible to integrate Lync with Exchange Online without having
and Exchange deployment on premises first.
Another source of confusion is the Office Voice Access number and how Lync clients dial voicemail. Where does this go if somebody dials internally (from Lync) and externally (from PSTN)? Exchange online or Lync on prem? And if Lync, then my guess would be
Lync forwards on to Exchange Online UM somehow. Do I have to purchase a number from somewhere because of it being on 365 or can I use a spare DID?
From my tests so far, when I call voicemail as any user, it seems to dial that same user and then the call fails.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me.

You can integrate Exchange UM with Lync Server 2013.

Mixed environment migration (OCS\Lync 2010 to Lync 2013) retaining BES Integration

Hi All,
I have an existing OCS 2007R2 and Lync 2010 environment which contains BES Collaboration for Enterprise IM on Blackberry devices. I want to migrate this environment to Lync 2013 whilst retaining the BES integration. Understanding that tri-existence is not supported
I've been going through the process of decommissioning all of my legacy OCS servers, which I have now completed, in readiness for starting the Lync 2013 deployment and prepping AD.
Here's my issue - The BES collaboration service was integrating with an old OCS CWA server. I removed the CWA server and migrated the Collaboration service to a new server so that I could configure it to directly communicate directly with the Lync 2010 pool,
however I still needed to install OCS components on the new server in order to achieve that integration. Now I've run the final step of Merging the OCS 2007R2 Topology with the Lync 2010 topology in preparation for deleting the BackCompatSite, the old OCS
servers have gone, but the new Collaboration server has now appeared as a trusted application server within the BackCompatSite. I've done an LDIFDE export of the RTC Service container and have had a look through the contents. I can see that the new BES Collaboration
server is there and that it has an msRTCSIP-TrustedServerVersion value of 4, whereas all the Lync 2010 values are 5, which I'm guessing is what the Lync Topology is using to establish that the BackCompatSite needs to be populated with that Trusted Server entry.
So my question is this - What do I need to do in order to successfully remove the BackCompatSite entry and migrate my environment to Lync 2013 whilst retaining integration with BES and keeping the Enterprise IM service service running on Blackberry devices?
Here's some options that I've thought about - Using ADSIEdit to remove the Trusted Server Application for the new BES Collaboration server so I can merge the Topology and delete the BackCompatSite, although will this break the Enterprise IM service? Temporarily
changing the value of the msRTCSIP-TrustedServerVersion for the Collaboration server from 4 to 5, merging the Topology, deleting the BackCompatSite and then changing the msRTCSIP-TrustedServerVersion back to 4 afterwards? Over a weekend\out of hours, removing
the BES Collaboration server and service altogether, going through the Topology merge\BackCompatSite deletion and then reinstalling the Collaboration service?
Has anyone else gone through this process, or got any advice\experience to pass on before I start working through my list of options?

I've asked this question several times:
Does the 2007 R2 CWA server count as tri-coexistence?
I've asked that both in MCM rotations and directly of people on the PG and the answer is always something along the lines of "nope, it's a trusted app server and not a pool". When I've run into this issue in other deployments, we simply left the backcompatsite
in the deployment into production.
I've never found the above as a publically approved statement just something I've asked previously and been told is OK to do. This is one of those situations that will work but was most likely not tested.
Thanks,
