Lync Server 2013 dropping global catalog in forest

I have an interesting issue. My Lync 2013 Server is connected to an AD network running at 2012. All my Lync 2013 clients can connect without issue, all the inherent Lync capabilities are functional (except desktop sharing, but that is another question for
later), and I get no general errors from my server.
However, when I go to administer to the system through PowerShell, or the Lync Command Console, I get the error:
"Cannot find any global catalog in the forest "xxxxx.yyy""
Therefore I cannot manage the server very well, if at all. Here is the real kicker. If I reboot the server, everything works great and I get no errors running admin powershell commands, or executing the Lync Command Console. This connectivity seems to work
for random lengths of time from 1-6 hours or so before "losing" the global catalog again.
Any thoughts on what is happening here?

We are using Standard Edition, and the deployment wizard will not complete when I am getting this error message. However, it works fine when I reboot the Lync Server system and it "reconnects" with the global catalog.
What I can't figure out is why it is "losing"the catalog, or really even where to start looking. Is that an Active Directory issue (Sites or other issue)? Is it a networking issue with DNS?
When the server "loses" the global catalog Lync clients still function normally, I can ping the server (by IP, FQDN, and machine name) from another system. Lync continues to communicate with Exchange and archive conversations, etc.. It just won't
run Lync powershell commands for admin, and the Lync Management Control Panelwon't recognize any login. It gives out a error stating "The application cannot verify your credentials" message.
This makes me think there is an issue with AD, but not sure where to start since users are not affected at all. Could there be a replication issue or something?

    Hello,
    We are in process of deploying the Lync Server 2013 infrastructure enterprise pool, have a query regarding Lync Backend server.
    Can we use a SQL server in all together different forest as backend for Lync 2013 topology, there is a two-way forest trust between the forests?

    You can do if you can communicate the back-end server successfully. But it is not supported.

  • Could not find any available Global Catalog in forest when running RemoteMailbox cmdlet

    My current Exchange environment is a hybrid configuration of Office 365, Exchange 2013 hybrid, and Exchange 2007 on-premise.
    I have a script responsible for enabling remote mailboxes and assigning O365 licenses to a list of users; essentially provisioning users an O365 mailbox. This script runs every hour through a defined scheduled task in the Task Scheduler.
    The script is proven to work but will intermittently throw an error on some days: "Could not find any available Global Catalog in forest root.xyz.com"
    Here are the nuances of the error when it does occur:
    It will only throw the error when the script is run via scheduled task - the script will work fine if executed from the command line
    The error occurs when "Enable-RemoteMailbox" or "Get-RemoteMailbox" is called.
    The same error will occur with ANY script that calls "Enable-RemoteMailbox" or "Get-RemoteMailbox" and is ran via scheduled task - even when the RemoteMailbox cmdlet was the only line in the script
    Here is the output and error when Get-RemoteMailbox -verbose is ran:
    VERBOSE: [15:49:52.474 GMT] Get-RemoteMailbox : Active Directory session

    Thanks for any help

    looks to me permission error as when you are running it via a schedule task is is not able to call exchange shell/ commands {confirm this} where as when you running this manually looks to me you open exchange shell, may be as admin also and then running
    the script.
    schedule task process is not able to get the permission..
    MARK AS USEFUL/ANSWER IF IT DID
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This issue may cause of Invalid access control entries (ACEs) for CN=RTC Service
    Try to do the following path to solve the issue:
    Click Start, click Run, type ldp, and then click OK.
    In the LDP console, click the Connection menu, click Connect, type domain controller name, and then click OK.
    On the Connection menu, click Bind, type the credentials of the domain administrator, and then click OK.
    On the View menu, click Tree.
    In the tree view interface, for BaseDN drop-down list, select the appropriate domain context, such as " CN=Configuration,DC=office,DC=contoso,DC=com," and then click OK.
    Under CN=Configuration,DC=<domainname>,DC=com, locate to the object CN=Services, CN=Configuration,DC=office,DC=contoso,DC=com"
    Under CN=Services, CN=Configuration,DC=office,DC=contoso,DC=com", locate to the object "CN=RTC Service,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=office,DC=contoso,DC=com".
    Right-click the object in step 7, click Advanced, select Security Descriptor, make sure that the SACL option and the "Text dump" option are unchecked and then click OK.
    This will open a new window with security descriptor details
    In the middle pane of the Security descriptor Window, select and delete all the access control entries (ACEs) that have “\0ADEL:” at the end in the Trustee column. Multiple ACEs can be selected and then click Delete ACE to delete them.
    Close the security descriptor as soon as you delete the corresponding ACE's
    Close the LDP console.
    Then prepare Forest again.

  • Backing Up and Restoring Lync Server 2013/OCS 2007 R2 Co-existence Environment

    Hello
    I am seeking tips on how to build a replica of a Lync 2013/OCS 2007 R2 production pilot Co-existence environment in a test lab.
    Lync 2013 is a standard Edition Pool
    OCS 2007 R2 is an Enterprise Pool
    Here is what I think...Is this feasible ? appreciate any other idea
    1. Get Active Directory to Test Environment
    For OCS 2007 R2 Servers
    2. Use LCScmd on OCS 2007 R2 Servers to backup Global\Pool\Computer specific settings
    3. Backup OCS 2007 R2 on Backend SQL Database
    4. Restore data from steps 2 and 3 to equivalent servers created and prepared in test environment
    For Lync 2013 SE Servers
    5. Use the Lync 2013 Backup and Restore Process to bring up Lync Server 2013 into the test environment
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202192.aspx
    David

    That should do it, as you said you'll need Active Directory as well so these accounts line up with something.
    It may be easiest to restore into your virtual environment using virtual snapshots or Windows backups and fixing any corruption that may have occurred by restoring what you've backed up.

  • What port number for Desktop Sharing using in Lync Server 2013 and Lync Online

    Dear All,
          My environment using Lync Server 2013 and Lync online on Office 365. I don't want my user using Desktop Sharing feature. then I need to know what port number for Desktop Sharing using in Lync Server 2013 and Lync Online.
    I will deny this port on personal firewall each client.
          Thank you for your advise.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure you'd be able to do this with ports without impacting other application sharing features such as Q&A, Whiteboard, Poll etc - I'm pretty sure they all come under the same umbrella of ClientAppSharing.
    Ordinarily you would create or modify your conferencing policy to restrict sharing to single programs only using a cmdlet similar to below;
    Set-CsConferencingPolicy -Identity "Global" -EnableAppDesktopSharing SingleApplication
    This would disable desktop sharing but enable users to continue sharing other single programs. If you want to remove that functionality too, then replace the 'SingleApplication' parameter with 'None'. Then users won't be able to share any programs either.
    This is the correct way to do it as the icons will be greyed out for the users. Doing it your way, they would still be able to click them, and it would throw an error - this will lead to a lot more support calls and people assuming a service is broken.
    I hope that helps some.
    Kind regards
    Ben

  • Configuring Lync Server 2013 to be a partner Application for Exchange 2013

    Hello Guys,
    I just want to share my experience while configuring Lync server 2013 to be a partner Application for exchange 2013 sever. 
    As mentioned on technet you need to run Configure-EnterprisePartnerApplication.ps1 script that ships with Exchange 2013. 
    But when I tried to run the script as described on the technet article, I found it always fails with " the accepted domain is not valid"
    I have checked my accepted domains many times and i found that there's no issues with my configured accepted domain. 
    So I started to review the script to find the issue and I found that the script was configured  as below 
    $acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain ;
      if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
        WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
      $acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains[0].Name;
      if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
      else
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true; 
    which is totally wrong as below: 
    firstly it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the Name of the accepted domain. 
    Not all customers configure the name of the Accepted Domain to be the Domain Name.
    Secondly  it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the name of the first Accepted Domain.
    The first domain may be not the default Accepted Domain. 
    So I have configured the script as below
    $acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain | ? {$_.Default -eq "True"}  ;
      if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
        WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
      $acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains.DomainName;
      if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
      else
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true; 
    I hope This help. 
    Thanks

  • Persistent Chat (Lync Server 2013) with Lync 2010 Group Chat

    I have successfully deployed Lync Server 2013 and both 2013 and 2010 desktop clients connect and function as expected.
    The problem is with Persistent Chat. It works perfectly with the 2013 desktop client but - whilst 2010 Group Chat connects - I receive the error message "The [LOGON_DOMAIN] is not available". No chat rooms are available and I am unable to search.
    I have been unable to locate anything on the web which discusses the problem.
    I do not know whether this makes a difference but the 2010 clients use terminals rather than dedicated workstations.
    Can anyone shed any light on what the problem may be?

    Have you created a CsPersistentChatEndpoint to allow the Group Chat client (2010) to connect to Persistent
    Chat server? Please take a look at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204901.aspx

  • Office Web Apps server / Lync server 2013

    Hi I have installed a Lync 2013 Server and Office Web Apps Server. Configured Lync topology, Office Web Apps farm and certificates.
    However when i start the services i get this error message in the log saying Office Web Apps discovery failed.
    Event ID:      41033
    Description:
    Office Web Apps Server (WAC) discovery failed, PowerPoint content is disabled.
    Attempted Office Web Apps Server discovery Url:
    Received error message: Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration
    The number of retries: 1,
    Cause: Office Web Apps Server may be unavailable or network connectivity may have been compromised.
    Resolution:
    Check HTTPS connectivity from this box to the Office Web Apps Server deployment using the discovery Url.
    I can access the OWAS server Url from Lync Server
    Connecting to the HTTPS discovery URL is working fine, and brings up the XML-page (after i click "show all content").
    The two servers are located on the same internal network, DNS resolves fine both ways, and no firewall rules blocks any connections between the two. Can anyone please help me figure this out?
    Only identical problem found online is here (Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration):

    Hi,
    In addition, please make sure you have restarted front end and office web apps server after reissuing the certificate.

  • How do I enforce "Show My Picture" instead of "Hide My Picture" in Lync Server 2013?

    I was scouring TechNet and the web for a script that could perform the same task as one that I previously used for Lync 2010.
    In Lync 2010, we had already used Lync policy to enforce that only the Active Directory photo could be used. One thing that we couldn't set via policy however was the ability to complete remove the "Hide My Picture" option in Lync 2010 client.
    This left users with the ability to freely switch between showing the Corporate photo or no photo. I did eventually find and make use of script that constantly checked for this setting switch, then switched all users back to the desired "Show My Picture"
    setting. I don't recall who wrote it, but it's easy to find on technet. As we started to move more and more users to our Lync 2013 enterprise pool, I noted that even though the script was running, the setting seemed to be changeable. A closer look revealed
    that the script didn't function correctly against SQL for our 2013 pool.
    I took the concept and applied it to Lync Server 2013 after studying the differences in Userdata. In Lync 2013, because UserData is in .zip, you need to convert it to 2010 format XML to use logic intended for Lync 2010. My script will extract 2013 data,
    convert it to 2010, query for users who are set to "Hide My Picture" and then export any guilty users to an edited2010 XML. The script then converts this to 2013 Format .zip, and uploads the data for these users only. I chose to use Update-CSUserData
    insted of Import-CSUserData as this avoids having to restart my Front End. I then use a scheduled task on my Front End server which runs this script every hour.
    Please note: You can use this script, but I guarantee nothing about it's functionality, and I am not responsible for how you positively/negatively use it. You should always test things in a Lab Environment. Furthermore, this script was run on a relatively
    smaller Enterprise system in which we are by default set to "Show My Picture" and already assigned as part of our user policy the ForceADPhoto attribute. This means that running the script is less intensive on my FE than say on a FE with 10,000 users
    where none of the users were set to "Show My Picture". Please keep this in mind when planning to execute against your FE. You may want to edit my script and insert the -UserFilter or -WhatIf in the Export-CsUserData UpDate-CsUserData.
    Anyways, I hope this solves the similar issue for many of you Lync 2013 administrators. Please feel free to share my work with others if it does, and also give this post some good feedback and/or mark my post as the answer to your problem.
    Alas, here's the script (save it as a .ps1 , i.e. ForceShowMyPicture.ps1)

    The Real Problem is that my Lync HP 4120 Phone can't make a sign in, not from USB cable loging, nor with PIN authentification
    When I try to make a login with the USB cable, I set the user and password and the phone says "Connecting to Lync".. "Downloading a certificate" ... "Installing certificate"... "Downloading Certificate"...
    "Installing Certificate".. forever 
    When I try to make a login with PIN Authentification, the phone first displays the following:
    Account used is not authorized, Please Contact your support team and then shows this:
    An Account matching this phone number cannot be found. Please contact your support team.
    The Pin authentification is enable
    In the Lync Server Enable Kerberos Authentification, Enable Integrated Windows Authentification and Enable Certificate Authentification are enable
    This is the configuration from DHCP

  • The Director role is optional in Lync Server 2013 - could anyone please explain why the director server has lost its importance??

    Could anyone please explain why the director has been removed from spotlight as it had much importance in LYNC 2010 and now being an optional role in LYNC server 2013.[any call flows regarding director servers would be much useful]

    Hi SJ Praveen,
    A Director is a server running Lync Server 2013 that authenticates user requests, but does not home any user accounts. Lync 2013 Front End servers have the same registrar service and functionality
    as the Director.
    The Director isn't providing any special functionality. If the Director goes down, all pools would become inaccessible when the clients queried DNS for the SRV record until an administrator
    makes a manual internal DNS change that points users to a Front End pool to handle the sign-in request from Lync clients. Microsoft has made the Director functionality relevant for organizations that have specific security requirements, such as allowing all
    external users to register to a specific internal server instead of the Front End servers. This server role is merely optional and not needed for most Lync Server 2013 deployments.
    Best regards,
    Eric
