Lync 2013: SQL instance - Shared or Not Shared !?

I'll keep this straight to the point... I'm implementing Lync 2013 at my company and we stumbled on one SQL Cluster situation that's causing some questions on the DBA team.
So the situation is....
Background:
We currently have a two node SQL 2008 R2 (SP2) Cluster with two instances in it that are shared for other applications.
Question:
Is it recommended by Microsoft (or any Lync Expert at all) to use one of these instances for Lync 2013 databases, or should it be a separated instance to host Lync 2013 Databases?
Note: If to be created the new instance, that instance will be living in the same cluster.
Thank you all in advance for comments on this.

Thanks to both for the replies. It does help me thinking about the subject.
I've meanwhile opened an advisory case with MS to check what they say about it. (I'm posting the results afterwards of course to share their advice)
I agree with both of you, and in fact I don't really like the idea of having a shared instance for Lync 2013 with other products (specially one of them that's in there that is Sharepoint 2013). I'm quite curious on knowing how will the instance behave once
Sharepoint 2013 decides to "eat up" all the resources...
I think that having the separated instance adds at least 2 very good (and important values) that is:
1 - Security (at the instance level.. no unwanted sysadmin's - we have persistent chat by some God forsaken reason... though I don't like the idea that a DBA with the right knowledge to read our C*O's chat's going around...)
2 - Resource assignment control (better memory control, possibility of "shifting" the instance to another place if necessary + if someone "brings down" the shared instance for any reason, lync can continue to function)
The IO concern regarding lots of SQLServer.exe running around, it's also a valid concern in my opinion, though at IO level is basically the same story because what matters is the DB file read-write operations that are ongoing and that will consume the same
resources either you're in a dedicated instance or separated one... 
Still our DBA brings up the fact that we need to use a shared instance for everything and he wants me to put Lync all together with the other DB's (Sharepoint 2013 included...).
What are your thoughts about this?
Thanks once again for your time and comments.

  • CMS Movement from Lync 2010 to Lync 2013 SQL Mirroring

    Hi,
    I have read the articles and i know how to move CMS to Lync 2013 , MY question is after moment CMS to Lync 2013 , the new DBs on SQL server will be mirrored automatically or i have to apply some procedure to make them mirror.
    Regards

    Usman Ghani - MCITP Exchange 2010

    Good morning,
    If the new Lync 2013 Enterprise Pool you deployed has a mirrored backend, then when you move the CMS to that instance the database will inherently be mirrored. There is no requirement to perform any additional action or procedure.
    This assumes that you have an enterprise Lync 2013 deployment as a mirrored CMS would not be available on a standard edition deployment.
    Kind regards
    Ben

  • Lync 2013 SQL Mirroring

    I have Lync server 2013 SQL mirroring in place.  My firm is looking to decrease our SQL server count. Can I collocate none Lync databases on the Mirror Lync SQL instance? Thanks.

    Hi TTMing,
    It’s not recommend collocating Lync Server databases with other databases, this might affect availability and performance.
    Form https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398990%28v=ocs.15%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    “If you collocate Lync Server databases with other databases, we highly recommend assessing all factors that might affect availability and performance, as well as ensuring that, if one node fails, the remaining node can handle the load. To verify failover
    capabilities, we recommend testing all failover scenarios. ”

  • 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 SQL versus Exchange Archiving

    Our organization has setup an internal lab for Lync and is trying to decide what the best option would be for deploying archiving with Lync and what the pros vs cons are.
    We currently have one Lync 2013 FE Server and an Exchange 2010 server, which I already know does not support archiving. Would it be best to deploy a SQL server for archiving or upgrade Exchange 2010 to 2013? We can do either, but was is the recommended approach
    and best practice/pros/cons?
    I was planning on utilizing SQL server as the preferred for approach and so we don't have to upgrade Exchange -- just seems easier and will keep any additional load off the Exchange server and once deployed to a production environment. 
    Thanks.

    Agree with Michael.
    This data stored in Archiving database is not searchable, but it can be exported to formats that are searchable using other tools.
    You can check the difference between these two archiving options at

  • Lync 2013 SQL requirements

    I have a SQL environment which is used for web apps, ERP, CRM and other databases. Can I install my Lync SQL environment onto this SQL server? is this scenario supported?
     or do I need dedicated and separate Lync SQL servers?

    It's recommended to use a separate SQL server for Lync (Physical of Virtual), however collating Lync database with other SQL databases will work. Considering the cost of SQL licenses, this is not uncommon.
    It is important in either scenario that the SQL servers have adequate resources/performance to be able to handle the load from Lync server in addition to anything else it will be doing. 
    Also note that if you have multiple front end pools, these cannot share a SQL server. (and creating another instance on the same SQL server also does not work)
    Take a look at the Technet information for more: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205112.aspx and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398835.aspx

  • Lync 2013 SQL Permission after install

    We have started to install Lync 2013 Enterprise to replace our Lync 2010 Standard servers.  Since we are moving to enterprise I've had to ask the SQL dba to get envolved with the installation.  We followed the recommended permission document here..
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398375.aspx
    we gave the install account Sysadmin and local admin on the SQL server.
    Now that the install is complete our dba wants to remove sysadmin from the account and remove it from SQL. 
    Can we do that or does it need to stay in place?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi Matt,
    You should be able to remove it now that the databases have been created as it should only be required for installation. You just need to make sure that your users accounts for management are part of the appropriate RBAC groups.
    The only caveat I can think of is if you need to do some SQL configuration tasks like deploy mirroring or run an update that may need to drop and rebuild the database. In those scenario you would need to have it reapplied.

  • Lync 2013 sql mirroring with different doamin sql server.

    Hi,
    can I create lync BE sql mirroring with different domain sql server with one AD forest?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can note the sentence “Using Topology Builder or cmdlets to set up and remove SQL mirroring is supported only when the primary, mirror, and witness (if desired) servers all belong to the same domain. If you want to set up SQL mirroring among servers
    in different domains, see your SQL Server documentation.” In the link below:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204992.aspx
    So I think in Lync server if you use Topology Builder or cmdlets to set up and remove SQL mirroring only if when the primary, mirror, and witness (if desired) servers all belong to the same domain. If you want to set up SQL mirroring among servers in different
    domains you may do some steps on SQL server and you can also post a case on SQL forum, thank you for your understanding.

  • Lync 2013 SQL Backend Witness replacement

    Can we replace backend SQL witness server via lync 2013 topology builder as H/W of existing witness server needs to be released due to some technical reason.
    We don’t prefer P2V. I want fresh installation of SQL witness server with SQL 2012 express edition and then move the witness role
    What is the procedure for the same?
    Please help me for the same

    Hi,
    deploy the new SQL server which dedicated for Witness. Configure the topology and associate the new SQL server as the witness server and publish. remove the old SQL store which was configured as the Witness form the topology.

  • 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

    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.

  • Lync 2013 client is showing EWS not deployed.

    Hi,
    I am facing issue with lync 2013 client in the configuration information. it is showing EWS not deployed .
    UCS Connectivity State;      Exchange connection Down;           --;
    MAPI Information;              Status OK;MAPI Status OK;
    EWS Information;;             EWS not deployed;
    I am facing this issue both internally and externally.
    I am using Lync 2010 server and exchange 2010.
    Lync  2010 client is showing all EWS information correct. No issue with lync 2010 client.
    Thanks 

    Had the same issue.  Couple of things you can try:
    1.  Verify EWS virtual directory is configured properly on your Exchange CAS or Front-End servers (Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory)
    But the thing that fixed it for me was:
    2.  Create SRV records for (_autodiscover, _TCP, 443) pointing to your CAS or Front-End server/array.  This has to be done for the forward zone of your public domain name (i.e. contoso.com, not contoso.local).  I did them both just
    to be on the safe side, but was the public domain that did it.

  • Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 blinking icon in taskbar not working properly

         Hi,
         We're experiencing a strange behaviour. Lync IM notifications are supposed to work this way below:
         1) Notification bubble on the right-bottom corner
         2) After a few seconds, a blinking icon in the task bar
         3) After a few seconds, a coloured icon remains in the task bar
         Some of our users, both Lync 2010 and Lync 2013, go 1) and 2) but then icon won't remain in the task bar, so they don't realize they have a conversation waiting (Windows XP and Windows 7).
         If they open the icon, the conversation is there and coloured, and they can answer.
         In my computer, it has also happened but most of the time it works fine (testing it, maybe it works 15 times and fails 1). Nevertheless, a lot of people is suffering from this strange behaviour.
         We have looked into the causes but haven't found anything.
         Any clue?
         Thanks!

    How long have you seen the problem?
    What version of your Lync client? Try to update your Lync client to the latest version.
    Try to repair office 2013.
    Uninstall and reinstall Lync 2010.
    Please install Lync 2013 or Lync 2010 on a fresh installation of Window to check if you can still see this problem.

  • Lync 2013 mobility and external access not working

    Hi all.
    I installed and configured Lync Server 2013 Front End and Lync Server 2013 Edge on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    Internal lync clients (not mobile) can successfully connect to server and everything works fine for them. External users can connect only with manual configuration of address of external lync server in lync client, autodiscovery doesn't work.
    I also installed and configured IIS ARR Reverse Proxy on Windows Server 2012 R2 using this article -
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2013/02/19/using-iis-arr-as-a-reverse-proxy-for-lync-server-2013.aspx. But it doesn't work too. When I try to connect I get 'Unable to connect to the server. Check your network connection or the server address and
    try again'.
    I configured dns records in the external dns zone.
    For Edge:
    sip.extdomain.ru – IP1
    lyncwebconf.extdomain.ru – IP2
    lyncav.extdomain.ru – IP3
    For Reverse Proxy:
    lyncdialin.extdomain.ru - IP4
    lyncmeet.extdomain.ru - IP4
    lyncextweb.extdomain.ru - IP4
    lyncdiscover.extdomain.ru - IP4

  • Family Sharing Calendar not "sharing" events among family members

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone has a similar issue and can shed some light.
    I've setup a Family with myself as the organizer.
    We have 2 iMacs, 1 MacBook Pro, 3 iPhones, and 3 iPads used by my three family members.
    The "Family" calendar now shows up on all devices but events made on a single device are not showing on any of the other devices.
    I've read all I can find and it appears to me that the "Family" shared calendar should sync across all family members without the need to "share" the calendar as we did in the past.
    Can anyone confirm that is the case?
    As a quick fix I simply "shared" the Family calendar (using email address's of the family members) and it is working, but this is essentially the same way we used to share a calendar.  Just doesn't seem to make sense to me.
    Thanks in advance for any insight!
    Jim

    I am having the same problem. I have done some testing and have found the following:
    If I create an event in the Family Calendar on my Mac it shares it with all devices; however, if I create a new event in the Family Calendar on any of my iOS devices it doesn't share with any of my devices including my Mac. This has only been an issue since I upgraded to iOS 8.1.
    I hope someone can help clarify if this truly is an iOS 8.1 issue and when they might come out with another update. This is a big problem for families trying to stay up-to-date with each others schedules.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Please try to clear all preferences for Mac Lync.
    You can do as following steps in the link:
    http://www.unicom.iu.edu/kb.php?docid=bave :
    1.  Quit Lync for Mac.
    2..In your Home folder, open the Library folder. Note that Mac OS X 10.7 and later hides your Library folder. To access it:
           1. Press Command-Shift-g, or from the Go menu, select Go to Folder... .
           2. In the Go to Folder drop-down window, enter ~/Library, and click Go.
    3.  Remove the following files from your Library folder:
              /Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Lync.plist
              /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ByHost/MicrosoftLyncRegistrationDB.xxxx.plist
              /Users/username/Library/Logs/Microsoft-Lync-x.log (This file is present only if you turned on Lync Logging.)
              /Users/username/Library/Logs/Microsoft-Lync.log
    4.  In your Documents folder, remove the following:
              /Users/username/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Microsoft Lync Data
    5.  Optionally, also remove Microsoft Lync History:
              Users/username/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Microsoft Lync History
              Note: This optional step will delete saved conversations. For Mac users, the conversation history is not saved to the Exchange account, but instead is saved locally
    to the Mac.
    6.  Open Keychain Access from the /Applications/Utilities folder:
         1. Delete any keychains on the left that look like the following, where emailaddress is your email address: 
    OC__KeyContainer__emailaddress
         2. In your Login keychain, delete the following, where emailaddress is your email address: 
    emailaddress.cer
    7.  In the /Users/username/Library/Keychains folder, delete all files that look like the following, where emailaddress is your email address: 
    OC__KeyContainer__emailaddress
