Moving CMS from Lync 2010 to Lync 2013 - WIndows Firewall??

We currently have the Windows Firewall disabled on all 3 of our Lync 2013 FE servers. We just don't use it and it gets in the way of some other applications. I remember when I was installing Lync on these servers, I had to enable the Windows Firewall or
setup would fail. Now that Lync has been running for a while, I have the Firewall disabled again.
Now, I am moving the CMS from Lync 2010 to 2013 and I am wondering if I should again enable the Firewall? I am concerned that the commands I need to run to prepare the 2013 FE server and the Move-CsManagement-Server command itself will fail if Windows Firewall
is disabled.
Does anyone know?

Hi,
As I know, if you want to disable Windows firewall for getting in the way of some other applications you can
just turn off all three (Domain, Private, Public) profiles or disable the Windows firewall service.
If you just turn off all three (Domain, Private, Public) profiles, it means that during the install, Lync Server will add all the firewall rules to the Windows Firewall, so if after you turn on all three profiles all you need to do is turn the Windows Firewall
back on from the inside the Control Panel.
If you disable the Windows firewall service it means that the Windows Firewall snap-in won't even load. So during the install Lync Server won't be able to create the firewall rules. So after Lync installation you can enable the Windows Firewall service is
to run Step 2 from Lync Server Deployment Wizard.
More details:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dodeitte/archive/2012/05/25/how-to-update-windows-firewall-rules-for-lync-server-2010-after-installation.aspx
So if you just turn off three (Domain, Private, Public) profiles, you should be OK to move CMS from 2010 to 2013.

  • Exclude Excel 2013 interop from Lync 2013 updates

    Is it possible to Exclude Excel 2013 interop from Lync 2013 updates? We have Excel 2010 installed and have custom COM applications that use Excel 2010 interop to automate it. When Lync 2013 is installed/updated it installs Excel 2013 interop and causes
    the COM application to not recognize the Excel 2010 interop without manually deleting the Excel 2013 interop from the registry.

    When you run setup.exe from Office 2013 installation media, you can customize installation and make Excel 201 not available to install.

  • Exchange 2013 - can no longer move mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Ex 2013.

    Migrating to Exchange 2013 from Exchange 2010. Created Ex 2013, moved some mailboxes OK. Then could no longer move mailboxes. No errors. The Migration email says complete. Synced: none, Total Mailboxes: none.
    Tried several mailboxes. Same result.
    Ex 2010 is SP3 RU6, (at least it says RU6 is installed in Programs/Features. The build is for SP3 w/o RU6???)
    Ex 2013 is SP1 aka CU4.
    How to proceed???
    john11

    After many attempts to fix the issue (move remaining 4 mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013) I contacted Microsoft and we resolved the issue. Here's how.
    btw - Thanks for the suggestions from Ed. However, they did not seem to move us forward.
    What did work:
    1. On the Exchange 2010 box, create a new database. (Someone else suggested this also). Then move the remaining Exchange 2010 mailboxes to this new db. Then after that, move the 4 mailboxes to Exchange 2013 using the GUI on Ex 2013. This only worked for one
    of the four mailboxes. The other 3 failed.
    2. Apparently, we need to restart the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service on the Exchange 2013 after several failed move attempts to clear cache related to the moves.
    3. Then on the Exchange 2013 box, use this Exchange shell command:
    New-MoveRequest -identity "[email protected]" -TargetDatabase "Exchange 2013 DB name" -BadItemLimit '500' -verbose
    This moved the remaining 3 mailboxes including the Discovery mailbox. It took some time. But we could check the progress using
    Get-MoveRequest
    The MS Tech was terrific. Really knew his stuff. And all mailboxes are on Exchange 2013. Well, the last one is still moving, but I am optimistic.
    Thanks for the suggestions. I had to get this done and the MS Tech made that happen.

  • OST corrupt when moving Mailbox from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2010

    Anyone come across this?
    Moving a mailbox on Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 - the outlook client wont connect, if you remove the OST and allow outlook to recreate it comes good again.
    outlook client knows the mailbox has moved as it connects to the new server
    Not happening to every mailbox
    thak=nks

    Hi,
    After you move mailbox from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, Outlook should still work.
    Is there any error message when these affected users try to connect? If there is, please post here for further analysis.
    I saw someone failed to connect to the new Exchange server after they moved mailbox, then they restarted the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service and restarted Outlook, it worked.
    If you haven't tried this, you can restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service to check the result.

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that your list filter cannot work after Migrating from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013.
    For your issue, please check your log files for any issues. Also you can refer to the blogs for troubleshooting SharePoint 2013 migration:
     Firstly try running Test-SPContentDatabase on your source database for any issues -

  • Migrating from SP 2010 to SP 2013

    I m new to sharepoint and our new project requirement is to migrate the contents from SP 2010 to SP 2013. we r not going to use any tools , so if we go manually what would be the approach to migrate the custom data to the next version. there is lot of custom
    data like features, event recievers, webparts that we have to take care of . do we have to code them again or what . 
    in depth reply or even some forums link will do . thanks

    Check out
    http://www.falconitservices.com/support/KB/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=124
    All customizations will have to be tested again  though, you can't expect them to work correctly. I would start by creating a list of customizations that have to be upgraded and still need to be supported

    Hi Rashid,
    Before Creating the Service Application, User Profile Service should be started as Central Administration -> Manage Services on server -> Start User Profile Service.
    After the serivce is started, then test again, compare the result.
    Also, you can upgrade User Profile service as the following article:

  • Change GUIDs when migrating from SP 2010 to SP 2013?

    When migrating custom list schema from SP 2010 to SP 2013, do I need to change the GUIDs for all the fields or can I use them as is?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    After migrating SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013, all the GUIDs of the sites and lists would change.
    If you just wanted to use the list in the site, it would have no impact on the lists, all the custom lists would work well.
    However, if you have some functions or solutions based on the GUIDs of the lists, you should change all the GUIDs for all the solutions.

  • Move from HIS 2010 to HIS 2013

    We are in a process of upgrading our servers to Windows Server 2012.  This is done by installing new servers. We will install HIS 2013 on Windows 2012 Server . We have a lot of HIS 2010 objects (both WIP and HIP) which we want to move over. WIP objects
    are currently hosted as ASP.NET Worker process on HIS 2010. Is it possible to move these objects to HIS 2013 just using generated dll's from VS 2010/HIS 2010 ? I know that it is possible to upgrade 2010 to 2013, but we have installed an empty HIS 2013, and
    want to do a "move" from HIS 2010 and run 2010/2013 in parallel. I am also looking for docs how to "Connect" HIS 2013 to IIS using TICT to IIS as we did in TI in HIS 2010 when we deployed Objects hosted as ASP.NET Worker process.
    Jan Terje

    Hello Jan,
    I've done this kind of migration last year with more than 1500 TI Objects :-)
    Yes, it's possible to move easy from HIS 2010 to HIS 2013 by converting the TI Objects using the TIConversionTool (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Host Integration Server 2013\SysWow64).
    The Problem with the TIConversionTool is that it doesn't replace directly the assemblies but it creates a folder structure with the converter TI Object. It's also possible to Open the HIS 2010 TI Objects in Visual Studio 2010/2012 with HIS 2013. The Objects
    will be converted after you are saving again the Assemblies.
    In addition you have to change your web.config files because the HIS Assembly Version has changed from 7.0 to 9.0.
    Please let me know if you need more information or help !

  • I am having difficulty moving spiceworks from an XP box to a Windows 7 box.

    I am having difficulty moving spiceworks from an XP box to a Windows 7 box. I have followed the instructions as follows.Created a backup on the xp machine and then moved the zip file to the windows 7 machine.I installed spiceworks on the windows 7 box but did not start it up.I deleted the DB and Data foldersI unzipped the backup and moved the unzipped db and data folders into the spiceworks folder.started spiceworks and now stuck. (see screenshot)
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    I've had several problems with Access on W7, mostly me not being able to select it as all. What i'd start with (unless you really need to file mobility) is to install a SQL Server (express) and import the data there. Set up a .udl pointing to the server (which'd be the same for 7.1 and 2010) and then try.
    If it still doesn't work you probably have some Race condition in your old code that has risen with the recompile. Do the old code have lots of local variables?
    I avoid the obvious "do you have database connectivity installed on the 2010 machine as i assume you do".

  • Moving the CMS from Lync 2010 to Lync 2013

    Now that all our users have been migrated to Lync 2013, I need to move the CMS from 2010 to 2013. Using the following MS article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj688013.aspx
    Nothing is mentioned about the mirrored database. What about that? I found the article below on creating a mirrored database
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204986.aspx
    But at what point do you do this? Should this be done at the same time you run the install-csdatabase to move the CMS or do you wait until everything is complete including the removal of the old 2010 database and then create the mirrored database?

    Hi,
    Agree with Georg, you can even add a SQL mirror to an existing Lync server 2013 Back End.
    You can refer to the link below:

  • Move cms from Lync 2010 enterprise pool to Lync 2013 enterprise pool

    Hi!
    We recently moved all our users from our 2010 ent pool to our new 2013 ent pool.
    we have read the http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj688013%28OCS.15%29.aspx
    In step 7, it says that we should run the deployment wizard. Do we have to do this on all servers in the pool?
    regards,

    Hi,
    yes you should run it on all front-End servers in the pool
