Lync Server 2013 Monitoring Reports

Just wanting to know about the capabilities of Monitoring Reports.
Is it possible to know how many users are engaged in live meetings/ conferences ?.....User activity levels ?.....Mobile users ?
What are some other common Lync Monitoring Reports ?
-Thanks

Hi,
The mainly reports of monitoring reports is System Usage Reports, Call Diagnostic Reports (per user), Call Diagnostic Reports, Call Diagnostic Reports and Media Quality Diagnostic Reports, and in each of them there are several reports.
You can use Conference Summary Report to view the total number of people who took part in the conferences and the total number of unique conference organizers.
You can use User Registration Report to view user activity levels.
Just like Anthony said, you can write custom SQL for the monitoring reports of mobile users.

Monitoring and Testing Lync Server 2013 Performance

Good day ,
I have two questions :
1 - Even though it is not recommended . How can I use Stress and Performance tool to test my production Lync Servers
using current users accounts and profiles without making any changes to AD or Lync topology?
2 - What are the most important Lync server counters to be monitored and is it enough to use Windows Performance monitoring tool for that purpose ?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards Bisher Shbib

Hi,
For your first question, there are no stress tools currently available specific for Lync 2013 now. Here is a similar case may help you:

For your second question, if you want to monitor Lync server 2013 and Lync client 2013 you need deploy Lync Monitoring server. You can refer to the link below:

Utilizing SQL Server as Lync Server 2013 backend and monitoring in different forest

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.
Please check the supported Active Directory topologies at

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

Enable new Child Domain in Lync Server 2013

Hello All,
We are running Lync server 2013 in the Root Domain test.local. There are number of child domain enabled for Lync service . Eg: abc.test.local , xyz.test.local etc. Now i have a requirement to create new child domain and enable it for lync service.
So i created a new child domain (site1.test.local), then from lync shell i run below command to enable it.
Enable-CsAdDomain
–Domain site1.test.local –report c:\users\lyncadmin\Report1.html
Then i add the new SIP domain in topology builder in SIP doamin and
Simple URLs and publish the topology.
On AD all users are created in OU so i run below command to give privileges on OU:
Grant-CsOUPermission -Domain site1.test.local -ObjectType "User" -OU "OU=SITEUsers,DC=Site1,DC=TEST,DC=LOCAL"
After all the step , when i try to login the new users, Users are not logging , in Lync client logs it is giving below error:
4005;reason="Destination URI either not enabled for SIP or does not exist";source="LYNCFE13-02.TEST.LOCAL"
Please help to solve this issue .

I can see my child domain accounts in Lync control panel (enable user section) and all accounts are enabled. If i run below command then it show result = failure. But my others account are working.
PS C:\Users\administrator> Test-CSRegistration -UserSipAddress [email protected] -TargetFQDN xxxx.xxxx.localTarget Fqdn : xxx.xxx.local Result: Failure Latency : 00:00:00Error Message : 504, Server time-out Diagnosis: ErrorCode=1045,Source=LYNCFE-00.xxxx.xxxx,Reason=Local edge server pool is out of service,port=5061,pool-size=2,pool=xxx-Edges.xxxx.local Microsoft.Rtc.Signaling.DiagnosticHeader

SQL Server Sizing for Lync Server 2013

Hi,
We are planning to install Lync Server 2013 with 800 users, but I can find any information about the SQL Server instance sizing.
Can anyone give me an estimation or prior experience with similar installations? I need to know Disk size, memory an CPU number.
Thanks in advance.

There are a few variables to consider. Are you turning on monitoring, archiving, and is enterprise voice enabled? Is persistent chat enabled? Is it virtualized? Is this Lync enterprise edition or standard with a portion of the
databases hosted on full SQL? Are you required to retain any information or logs for a specific amount of time? Are you keeping SQL backups local with maintenance plans and for how long?
I would suggest not going below 16GB for a SQL Server, but you may not need much more. If it's virtual I'd throw 4 cores at it at least and disk space will vary based upon what you're doing and how long you want to keep things. Thick provision
those drives and make sure the logs and databases are on separate partitions.

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.

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

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.

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):
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dodeitte/archive/2012/09/10/office-web-apps-server-amp-lync-server-2013.aspx
He resolved the problem by assigning a new OAuthTokenIssuer certificate. This however did not fix the problem in my case.
Regards
Sverre A. Veel

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)

When I try to run this I get the follow error. Any thoughts?
