Lync 2013 sql database on existing lync 2010 sql server

Dear All,
I have query regarding the SQL server requirement for Lync 2013 enterprise,when there is a co-existence or migration from lync 2010 to 2013, it it possible to use the same Lync 2010 enterprise sql server with different instance name or we have to create
a new sql server for lync 2013, please advice me.
Thanks and regards,
sarma kumar

No it is not possible. Topology builder won't allow it, it needs to be a completely different server name.
When you input the server into Topology builder you enter the server name and instance in two separate fields, it will give you a red X as soon as you try to put the server name in if it's already in the topology.

Lync 2013 updating databases after updating Front End servers

We have a front-end server pool consisting of 3 Lync 2013 servers and a back end of 2 SQL servers using SQL mirroring. All servers are Windows 2008 R2.
Following the instructions in
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2809243 , I verified that the servers were all ready for updates, then I ran the
Stop-CsWindowsService -Graceful cmdlet to stop the Lync services on the first FE server, then I ran LyncServerUpdateInstaller.exe to install the updates. After the updates were installed, I restarted the server, waited for Lync services
to all start, then repeated the process on the next 2 servers in turn. This was all successful.
I am now looking at step 2 in this document, applying the back-end database updates, and I have a problem and some questions. The problem is that all the databases had the principal copy on the mirrored SQL server. I ran the recommended Invoke-CsDatabaseFailover
-NewPrincipal Primary cmdlet repeatedly, using all the database types I could find, but I still have two databases (database names
xds and lis) on the mirrored server. Since the cmdlet requires a database type, what type of databases are the xds and the lis databases?
Once I get that done, I an still unsure of exactly what to run to update the databases. The KB article states to run Install-CsDatabase -ConfiguredDatabases -SqlServerFqdn FEBE.FQDN -Verbose .  Do I type this in exactly
as stated, or is FEBE.FQDN a variable for our SQL server or some other entity in our environment? If I do use the actual SQL Server name in that, do I run it twice, using the name of the mirrored SQL server the second time?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Logan Burt,
Central Management store database files
Data file or log purpose
                Xds.ldf
Transaction log file for the Central Management store
                Xds.mdf
Maintains the configuration of the current Lync Server 2013 topology, as defined and published by Topology Builder
                Lis.mdf
Location Information service data file
                Lis.ldf
Transaction log for the Location Information service data file
And you could verify if Lync Server 2013 database updates have completed successfully.

Lync 2013 and problem with copy/paste from SQL Mgmt Studio.

Hi Everyone,
Recently one of ours programmers noticed a very interesting issue which is a real pain in the a## for him and his colleagues. It was all fine with Lync client 2010, problem started when moved some people to 2013 client.
When someone sends him a message with SQL Code, and he is pasting it into SQL mgmt std. he gets dashes "-" instead of spaces " ".
I thought this is a local PC issue, but:
1. On 2010 it worked, stopped all of a sudden when they changed lync client to 2013
2. They are pasting code on the SERVER not local SQL mgmt std. on their client machines
3. Even if I send him a code from Lync 2010 and he is pasting that from his 2013 client - he gets "-" dashes, so I guess it is not important from where I send the message, but from where he is copying it.
As for now, I have noticed that problem with guys from England and region of APAC - they have lync 2013 client already.
Really appreciate any help as I donot have any point where to start troubleshooting...
Cheers guys,

Hi,
I test the issue with my colleague and didn't find the same issue.
Here is the screenshot:
So please check if Lync Server 2013 and all the issued Lync 2013 client update to the latest version firstly, it not update to the latest version, update it and then test again.

Lync 2013 - Presence not showing in SharePoint 2010

Hello,
Presence was showing while on Lync 2010 and Office 2010 but at some point we lost the jellybean presence.
We recently upgraded to Lync 2013 and O365. Yet our SharePoint 2010 libraries are no longer showing the presence next to Modifiied By or Created By.
I've checked CA and presence is enabled. AcriveX add-in ia as well.
Thank you,
Andrea

Hi,
Did the Lync Server 2013 install On-Premises or online?
If it is On-Premises deployment, Presence is displayed by using an ActiveX® control and Lync APIs.
Please check if the Office to be the Latest version, if not, update it and test again.
If it is Lync online, you can also post a question on Office365 forum for assistance. Thank you for your understanding.

Lync 2013 Mobility in coexistense with Lync 2010

Hi
I am facing Issue when connecting my internal mobile client with Lync Server 2013. The Mobile Client doesn't sign in to Lync Server 2013.
Currently we are in co-existence phase with Lync 2010.
There was no mobility service configured or installed in Lync 2010 environment before when we deployed Lync Server 2013 Enterprise pool with only one front end server.
The SRV record _sipinternalts is currently pointing to Lync server 2010 pool and the lyncdiscoverinternal.domain.com is point to the IP of Lync Front End Server.
Is it necessary to configure and deploy mobility service on Lync 2010 front end server in order to allow Lync Server 2013 users to connect using mobile client??

Hi Abdullah Salam,
For WP8 root certificates need to have HTTP URLs in the CRL (Certificate Revocation List). If root certs doesn’t contain these CRL attributes than the certificate won’t be accepted by WP8
and sign-in would fail.
Same cases for your reference.

How to remove OCS and install lync 2013 on MS Office 2007 and 2010

Hi,
We need to install lync 2013 on our systems having office 2007 and 2010 via SCCM 2012.
Please suggest.
Regards, Syed Fahad Ali

Lync 2013 no longer has its own installer, but instead uses the Office installer. You can create a customized installation and deploy it just like you do with Office:

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.

Unable to search GAL on Lync 2013 Front End Pool through Lync 2013 client

I'm in the beginning of a 2010 to 2013 migration and I'm currently testing co-existence functionality between pools. I've noticed that users cannot search the GAL from their Lync client after being moved to the 2013 pool.
When trying to access the internal URL https://fepool13.domain.com/abs/handler the user is prompted to login and after three failed attempts, receives "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. You do not have permission
to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied".
Searching withing a Lync 2010 or Lync 2013 client returns no results, but there are no errors as well as nothing in the event logs or tracing folder regarding not being able to search.
The 2010 pool has been in production for a few years now and when accessing its internal ABS URL https://fepool10.domain.com/abs/handler the user is granted access after a successful login.
In the IIS logs there are slightly more detailed 401 error codes, but I’m not sure what to make of them.
The rtcab database appears to have user information and all three front end servers appear to be syncing with active directory. I say the rtcab database appears to have user info because the AbUserEntry table is filled with User ID'd, GUID's and a
bunch of other stuff.
The authentication on 2013 front end servers “internal lync website/abs/handler” is set to 1. Negotiate, 2. Ntlm - which is the same as the 2010 front end servers.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Which step did you do among migration from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013?
Did you already move CMS from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013?
Please create a new Lync account on Lync Server 2013 pool and test the issue again.

Project Server 2013 reporting database change in Schema from Project Server 2010

I have a current Project Server 2010 implementation, I am planning to migrate to Project Online.
We have Customized Reports that consume from the PS 2010 Reporting DB.
Are there differences in the Reporting DB schema between PS 2010 and Project Online?
My Question is: if we migrated to Project Online, will the reports crash?
Another question is that, is PS 2013 Reporting DB schema the same as Project Online?

Hi Atia,
IN project server 2013 we have only one database instead of 4, it means draft, archive, published and reporting with in one database.Project Server 2013 reporting database schema tool that can be downloaded.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/project_programmability/archive/2013/01/28/project-server-2013-reporting-database-rdb-schema-reference.aspx
There are differences in reporting of on-premises vs. Project Online
The Project Server 2013 reporting schema includes three new tables, 27 new views, and a total of 33 tables and views that include new fields.
Answer-1 : Yes there are some differences between PS 2010 and project Online.
Answer-2 : Reports will crash as In Project Online you have to use ODATA to create report. You can not query project online data for reporting directly you have to have use ODATA.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj163015.aspx
Answer-3 : NO, PS 2013 Schema and Project online Schema is different.

Lync 2013 Autodiscovery Key Deleted when Lync is launched

Hi.
We are having an issue with some of our users overseas. They are using Lync 2013 on a computer that's essentially identical to the computers used across the organization. We are having trouble with EWS, so we are attempting to pre-populate the autodiscovery
key under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\lync\~SIP~\. The key is being populated successfully, but when Lync 2013 is launched, the key is automatically removed. Why is this happening, and more importantly, how can we force Lync to always use the autodiscovery
key that we're creating so that EWS and other services function normally?
Thanks,
Doug
Douglas Cote

I wouldn't be too keen on editing the registry keys to remedy an EWS issue, feels too much like treating a symptom and not the root cause (of course I don't know the details of the issue).
Perhaps tell us about the EWS issue and we could assist in finding a suitable remedy.

LYNC 2013 Event Logging Parameters for LYNC server logs

Hi,
We have LYNC server 2013 enterprise voice. We have third party Monitoring server to monitor the event logging.
Do we have default event logging parameters for LYNC Server logs in LYNC 2013?
Thanks
jitender

There's really just the default level of logging for Lync Server Event Logs. For individual call troubleshooting you might use the debug logger, and for longer term troubleshooting you'd deploy the Lync Monitoring role. The monitoring role, service
status, and performance monitor counters are what you really want to be monitoring if you're watching your Enterprise Voice deployment.
If I understand the question, there isn't a way to turn up the amount of logs generated in the Lync event logs or change parameters around this.

Lync 2013 Remote Access on all Lync clients from the internet not login.

Hi All,
I have a Lync 2013 setup with and Edge server as well as TMG Server.
All clients can login on the mobile devices (IPAD, Windows phone etc). However, when i try login on lync client, I get "we're having trouble connecting to the server. If this continues, please contact your support team".
What could be casing this causing this?
KimaniBob

Hi Ben,
Thansk for the reply.
I have created the DNS records on the external and tested all, all seem fine. My Edge server has 2IPs(Internal and External) a NAT has being to the External interface of the Edge and it has being done well.
I have also ran the ecxhange connectivity, and the output is all green. (Passed)
Just as an add on. The lync client seems to establish a connection because , I prompts me to enter my credentials. If i put in wrong credentials i get an authentication error. However, if I put in the correct credentials, I get server is temporary unavailable.
Althou the the error has changed now'Lync couldn't find the server for domain.com....'
I ran the ocslogging tool and i get the following logs:
TL_INFO(TF_CONNECTION) [0]1274.0B08::12/09/2013-13:29:25.870.00000149 (SIPStack,SIPAdminLog::WriteConnectionEvent:1222.idx(446))[972797567] $$begin_record

I also check on the TMG and found it was dropping SIP protocal (port:5061), not sure if this is the cause, and if so how do I sort it.
So far no solution.

How to Disable Lync 2013 Web app link in Lync meeting

I want disable Lync 2013 Web App , because it is confuse WinXP user(no sound suuport) , I reference the topic(Disable Lync Web App link) but not work in 2013 version. How can I disable that?

I assume you're referring to this link:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/33fbfa3f-e7dd-43a7-85f4-43c280e17d4f/disable-lync-web-app-link?forum=ocsconferencing
That was an unsupported but clever hack that we developed by the user asking the question. There is not supported method for doing this in Lync 2013.
If it's an audio only meeting, I'd suggest removing the URL completely from each individual the meeting invite before sending it out. If it's not, then the WinXP user would either need Lync, which they would then automatically join with anyway, or
they wouldn't in which case sending them the meeting invite wouldn't help.
