Lync Server 2013 Installation Error

Hello,
I am using my AD in Windows Azure VMs. I created new VM of A3 (4 cores, 7 GB Memory) Windows Server 2012 R2, Port 1433 MSSQL added, made it a member of Domain and planned to install first Lync Server 2013 on it.
In "Setup or Remove Lync Server Components" of "Install or Update Lync Server System", got an Red Coloured text "An error
occurred while applying SQL script for the feature BackendStore."
I have not enabled monitoring and archiving server in topology builder. I added "Network Service" and assign "Full Control" in Security Permissions of "C:\CsData" and "C:\LyncShare".
I executed the SQL Setup Wizard and upgraded any instance to 2012.
Please guide.
Thanks, Divyaprakash Koli

Is the Lync deployment in Azure as well? If so please check this
blog by Guy Bachar. Look for "Houston, we have a problem"

Please help me resolve the Lync server 2013 deployment error: "An error occurred while applying SQL script for the feature BackendStore."

I am getting an error in "Step 2 - Setup or Remove Lync Server Components" of "Install or Update Lync Server System" step.
"An error occured while applying SQL script for the feature BackendStore. For details, see the log file...."
Additionally, all previous steps such as: Prepare Active Directory, Prepare first Standard Edition server, Install Administrative Tools, Create and publish topology are done without any errors. The user that I used to setup the Lync server is member of:
Administrators
CSAdministrator
Domain Admins
Domain Users
Enterprise Admins
Group Policy Creator Owners
RTCComponentUniversalServices
RTCHSUniversalServices
RTCUniversalConfigReplicator
RTCUniversalServerAdmins
Schema Admins
I have tried to re-install all the things and started to setup a new one many times but the same error still occurred. Please see the log below and give me any ideas/solutions to tackle this problem.

Lync Server 2013 Installation on Server 2012

Hi
i'm trying to install Lync 2013 on a clean FE server running server 2012, however, i have installed all the required roles and features including .NET 4.5 but when i run the Lync setup it says Microsoft .Net 4.5 or higher must be installed (3.5 is also installed
on the FE server). i have tried rebooting the server but to no avail. Please help
katlego

Hi,
Lync Server requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5. For Lync Server 2013, you must manually install the 64-bit edition of Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 on the server prior to installing Lync Server 2013. To manually install it, download the Microsoft .NET
4.5 Framework from the Microsoft Download Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=268529
To Install .NET 4.5 HTTP Activation on Windows Server 2012
From the Start menu, click Programs, then click
Administrative Tools, then click Server Manager.
In Server Manager, under Features Summary, choose Add Features.
Expand .NET Framework 4.5.
Select WCF Activation if it isn’t already selected. Then select
HTTP Activation.
Click Next and follow the prompts to finish the installation.

Exchange Server 2013 installation error at Step 10/15

I try to install Exchange Server 2013 on a fresh install of Windows Server 2012.
Windows Server 2012, have already install on it:
AD CD

IIS

I search online for a solution and I found many others with same problem but any solution yet. :(
If anyone can help me I am able to dedicate him my next ode.
Thank you,
Adrian

I am experiencing the same problem except that mine is definitely NOT a domain controller. The error code indicates that the process is attempting to grant Network Access to the Certificate during Setup, but fails.
"...Could not grant Network Service access to the certificate"
Exchange 2013 is being installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 but it is a member server with no domain responsibilities. Granting rights to the certificate during the Setup process is the root of the problem.
Here is the complete error comment:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
          Install-ExchangeCertificate -WebSiteName "Exchange Back End" -services "IIS, POP, IMAP" -DomainController $RoleDomainController -InstallInTrustedRootCAIfSelfSigned $true

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

Error Upgrading from the Evaluation Version of Microsoft Lync Server 2013

Hi,
I try to upgrade from Evaluation to full Version using:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg521005.aspx
but after i run: msiexec.exe /fvomus server.msi EVALTOFULL=1 /qb
i get a popup:
"Another version of this product is already installed. installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel."
Get-CsServerVersion :-> Microsoft Lync Server 2013 (5.0.8308.0): Evaluation license key installed.
Any ideea?

Hi Iulius
As your upgrading the Licence on the Lync 2013 FE it shouldn't care about the Lync 2010 Environment. As your moving from Eval to Full Licence on 2013. I have come across the below url that might help.
http://pei.com/2013/03/how-to-change-lync-license-from-evaluation-to-licensed/
http://jackstromberg.com/2013/02/how-to-activate-lync-evaluation-to-licensed-version/
I would personally go with from Lync Management Shell with Elevated Permission
cd /
cd /d: (Other what other drive letter)
cd /Setup\Amd64\Setup
msiexec.exe /fvomus Server.msi EVALTOFULL=1 /qb
But that's just me Id rather run the command from the directory than pointing to it.

Microsoft Lync Server 2013 Control Panel "Navigation to the webpage was canceled"

i'm facing this issue on the last 2 days.My Lync server 2013 was seted up a month ago and everything went fine on the installation.
Lync server 2013 on Windows 2008R2 SP1.
I could login to the Control Panel (using domain administrator credentials), create users (including myself) manage clients etc.
i didn't login to Lync server for at least a week, beacause i didin't have any other user to add. When time came to add a new user to Lync, i got this error whenever i try to open Control Panel.
i didn't change anything during this time, so i'm really confused by this.
i've checked everything from the start and all seem to be in place.
i also can't open the admin page from the local host as i get an error
HTTP error 403.4 - Fobidden.
i tried also to create new certificates for Lync server, but issue remains.
Also, any solutions i've read for this problem doesn't work as everything is placed correct as other users suggest.
Can anyone please help me further?
Cheers,
Elias

Ok I had the same problem, I missconfigured the admin simple url in topology builder (TB) which I fixed. Also the default certificate in the FE server did not have a SAN entry for the "admin" simple url (which was an error).
So I corrected the admin address in TB republised it, redid step two on the FE, reissued adn replaced the old cert. The new cert had the corrected admin simple url. Checked IIS on the server and made sure that the internal web server had the
right certificate, restarted IIS.
The default Lync control pannel still did not come up, I rebooted the server, the closest I got was being prompt for my credential which it did not accept.
Finally control pannel came up with https://localhost/cscp but I got prompted becuase of a certificate missmatch:
but it still worked!!! Very very wierd. I have not changed CA servers. I am interested about why this happened....

Establishing Lync Server 2013 on a Child Domain

Hi,
We want to establish Lync Server 2013 Enterprise Edition on a child-domain. I finished the installation. Now, if i add to users to child domain and enable from Lync Server Control Panel for test, users can be signed in. However, we use child domain for only
domain computers. We want to keep users on parent domain, not child domain.
I can enable users which are on parent domain, but users can not sign in. When i look Lync troobleshooting program, i got this error: "user is not sip enabled"
How can i solve this problem not adding users to child domain?

Check whether the SIP address is enabled for the user
Get-CSUser -Identity <Alias>
SipAddress : sip:[email protected]
Enable-CsUser –Identity "Raji" –RegistrarPool Pool01.Lync.com –SipAddress "sip:[email protected]" –SipDomain Lync.com
Verify the output
Get-CsAdUser | Select-Object DisplayName, SipAddress, UserPrincipalName
Or
Construct a SIP address using the user’s SamAccountName and domain name
The SamAccountName is the user’s logon name: it’s the kenmyer portion of litwareinc\kenmyer. To use the SamAccountName as the SIP address use the –SipAddressType parameter followed by the parameter value SamAccountName:
Enable-CsUser –Identity "Ken Myer" –RegistrarPool atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com –SipAddressType SamAccountName –SipDomain litwareinc.com
Note that you also need to include the –SipDomain parameter followed by the appropriate SIP domain. With both FirstLastName and SamAccountName you must explicitly indicate the SIP domain; Enable-CsUser won’t try to make a “best guess” at determining the domain
name for you.
Use the user’s email address as his or her SIP address
This is kind of a nice option: it simply grabs the user’s email address and uses that same value for his SIP address. (That way, users have just one address to remember.) To use this option, simply include the –SipAddressType parameter followed by the parameter
value EmailAddress:
Enable-CsUser –Identity "Ken Myer" –RegistrarPool atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com –SipAddressType EmailAddress

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):

He resolved the problem by assigning a new OAuthTokenIssuer certificate. This however did not fix the problem in my case.

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)
