Lync Standard Edition Server pairing -- Archiving and monitoring collocated but Single SQL backend

Hi,
I have a scenario where in ---we have Two Standard Edition Servers ( SE1 and SE2) with 1K users each ( Total 2K in one Site) paired to enable High Availability. The Standard Edition Server has archiving and monitoring and mediation server collocated.
For archiving + monitoring database we have a Seperate SQL enterprise edition server.
Quetions:
1. Can we use single SQL Enterprise Edition as backend for (archiving and monitoring ) for both SE1 and SE2 ?
2. If yes, do we need two seperate instances?
3. If not, could you please suggest the best possible solution in such an environment ?
Regards,
Archana Rao

Hi ArchanaVR,
Agree with Michael, and add some more details.
By default, the SQL Server Express back-end database is collocated on the Standard Edition server. You cannot move it to a separate computer. With one exception, you cannot collocate other databases on the Standard Edition server. If you choose to deploy
Persistent Chat Server on a Standard Edition server, you can collocate the Persistent chat database and the Persistent Chat Compliance database on the same Standard Edition server.
You can collocate each of the following databases on a single database server:
Monitoring database
Archiving database
A back-end database for an Enterprise Edition Front End pool
You can collocate any or any or all of these databases in a single SQL instance or use a separate SQL instances for each, with the following limitations:
Each SQL instance can contain only a single back-end database (for an Enterprise Edition Front End pool), single Monitoring database, single Archiving database, single persistent chat database, and single persistent chat compliance database.
The database server cannot support more than one Enterprise Edition Front End pool, one server running Archiving, one server running Monitoring, single Persistent Chat database, and single Persistent Chat compliance database, but it can support one of each,
regardless of whether the databases use the same instance of SQL Server or separate instances of SQL Server.

Co-location of persistent chat and monitoring databases on Standard Edition server

Hello, I've seen all kinds of different answers to this question around the web with conflicting answers.
We have a basic IM/Presence only install of Lync 2013 and now want to deploy Monitoring and Persistent Chat roles.
As per this blog, it states you can co-locate all of these on one FE server.
http://windowspbx.blogspot.ca/2012/07/aaa-donotpost-install-lync-standard.html
Which does match what this TechNet article states:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398131.aspx
However, in the Blog, it says you need to install Full SQL Server 2008 in order to collocate, yet this goes against what TechNet says is possible, in that you can have all databases in one instance:
Each SQL instance can contain only a single back-end database (for an Enterprise Edition Front End pool), single Monitoring database, single Archiving database, single persistent chat database, and single persistent chat compliance database.
I guess my question is, can I simply install Monitoring and Persistent Chat using the same default SQL Server 2012 instance that was installed along with the Front End Standard Edition server (RTC instance)? Or should I create a new instance? Or do I need
to install a new SQL Server 2012 somewhere on a different server altogether?
Thanks!

Hi,
Lync standard edition server has SQL express database by default to host RTC instance. Monitoring server required SQL reporting services, SQL express does not have reporting components part of it. Hence, you required full SQL version for monitoring
and archiving deployment.
Technically, you can install full SQL server on the standard edition server itself. But , it is not recommended in production environment. It's good idea to install SQL server on a dedicated server for hosting monitoring and archiving database.

Lync 2013 standard edition server disadvantages

I have 3000 users, client is so cost effective , wanna insisting on Lync 2013 standard edition server. no enterprise voice
Feature required :- IM.presence, A/V conf, persistence chat, external access.
planned servers :- 1 Standard server in DC, 1 in DR. 1 edge server in DC and 1 in DR
1. if i make a pool of standard servers, then will it serve as HA, if yes how much time wil take for failover and what would be the impact on users?
2. If complete DC is down how mch time would take for fail-over and what is the procedure, impact on users?
3. can i collocate persistence chat role on standard edition? any limitation? how backend sizing would be for persistence chat as sql express would be there
4. can i suggest any better solution with standard servers where HA in DC .

For 3000 users Standard Edition will be fine. Use the capacity planner to size out your environment. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36828
1. It won't really serve as HA, as pool pairing is the only option it's more of a DR solution. The RTO for a pool failover is 30mins. So it could take anywhere up to 30mins. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205079.aspx
2. Same as above. Here is how you failover http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204678.aspx
3. Yes, you can co-locate Persistent Chat on the Front End with Standard Edition. If sized correctly, there should be no performance issues.
4. The only option with Standard is Pool Pairing, so no better suggestions.

Cramming it all into one Standard Edition server

Hello,
I'm rolling out a fresh deployment of Lync Server 2013. Right now the idea is to have one Standard Edition server with about 2500 users homed there that will have the following things collocated:
A/V Conferencing service
Mediation service
Monitoring and Archiving services (will probably use Exchange 2013 for storage)
Persistent Chat server
The two Persistent Chat databases: the PC database and the PC Compliance DB
So, from everything I've read, it's supported to have all that stuff on one Standard Edition server. Is it wise to do that if there are 2500 users? Seems to me like a lot of load, even though all those roles are technically supported.
We're considering having two Standard Edition servers for high availability that would have our 2500 users spread evenly between them. (not a Enterprise FE pool). We should be able to spread out those collocated roles if we had two SE servers,
right?
Thanks for the help,
Brandon

Yes, a Lync Standard edition server will support up to 5,000 users. The only thing to do is to make sure you have sufficiently spec'd your hardware, use the Capacity Planning tool to input the users and traffic to ensure you have sufficient hardware to cope
with the load: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36828
Regarding spreading out co-located roles if you pair two Standard Edition servers; this is not possible. Both servers will have all the roles and you pair them, so that in the event
of failure of one server, you can fail over to the other server. You could home users on either pool to distribute load that way, just make sure that either pool can handle the load of all users should a failure occur and failover is required.
On a side note, if you need external access, Edge services (and Directors, Reverse Proxy, etc) will need their own servers, as will the Office Web App Server if you want to do PowerPoint sharing in Lync meetings

Server 2012 Standard Edition network teaming issue at bootup

I have a Windows server 2012 x64 standard edition server (not R2) using two Intel I210AT nic's on an ASUS P9D-X motherboard. They are setup in a team using the Microsoft teaming. No special options, latest updates and the latest Intel drivers.
The team is setup in switch independent mode and connected with quality cat6 cables to a Cisco 3600 switch. No special options on the ports of the switches, no LACP or trunking, just standard unconfigured ports.
The problem we have is when the server is rebooted the team will not communicate with the network. If we unplug one network cable communication begins. We can then plug the cable back in and both
ports work and communicate normally.
This issue is serious as it requires physical action on every restart.
We have tried deleting the team and recreating it and we get the same results. Is there some specific change that needs to be made to make this work or is this possibly a known bug?

May be problem on Cisco side, Cisco is very clever, could assessed network traffic as a problem and close the port. When OS is running, then NIC Teaming working fine, but when you boot up server, "BIOS not running with NIC Teaming", in this moment
may occur problem on Cisco side.
I recommend, if you use Cisco, configure NIC Teaming in LACP mode and configure your two ports on Cisco to LACP, it's better way.

Is it possible to have two Paired Lync Standard Edition servers in different domains?

We initially installed Lync in a parent domain with all the users in the child domain. The user's SIP addresses is that of the child domain. We now have a requirement to migrate the server to the same child domain as the users. At the same time we
need to set-up a new server to test some planned network changes. Would it be possible to set-up another Standard Edition Front End Server in the child domain and pair it with the server in the primary domain? We can then migrate the users across as required.

Hi PanosE,
Yes, you can set up another Standard Edition Server in child domain and then deploy pool pairing.
You need to deploy a new Front End Pool for the new Standard Edition Server.
A similar case for your reference.

Lync 2010 Standard Edition Front-End and Edge Cerificate Renewal issue

Hi Experts,
I have a client with Single Standard Edition FE server and 1 Edge server and both are using PUBLIC certificates. It also has a reverse-proxy server (F5 HLB) with wildcard certificate installed. The FE and Edge certificates are about to expire and the client
now wants the ff.
1. Internal Certificate from Internal CA server for FE
2. External Certificate from Public CA for Edge
What I did was,
A. For Internal Cert - I generated a CSR from MMC cert manager using custom request from the FE server and have it signed by the Internal CA. Reason I did that was, everytime I requested the CSR from Lync Certificate Wizard, it is getting the certificate
template not supported by the Internal CA.
B. For External Cert - I requested the Edge external CSR thru Lync Certicate Wizard and submitted to the client for public CA renewal.
When I installed both certificates, internal lync works fine but anything external (i.e. external lync access, mobile, federation) do not work anymore.
So I decided to roll back the certificates and everything went back to normal?
Question is, what steps or process did i miss or gone wrong? Hope for your response. Thank you in advance.

Hi DaxZilla,
You also need to request a certificate to internal interface of Edge Server from internal enterprise certificate authority.
The certificate for the external edge interface should contain SANs as below:
SAN=Access Edge service FQDN
SAN=Web conference service FQDN
SAN=SIP domain FQDN
Mobile client goes through reverse proxy server to sign in. It is not related with Edge Server. Check the certificate on reverse proxy is not expired.

Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition user license in Standard Edition

Hi,
If I purchase Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition license (user or processor), and somehow if I decedided to downgrade the server from Enterprise Edition to Standard Edition, is these license still valid to apply to the Standard Edition server??
Thanks

I'm sure Oracle would have no objection to you using a less expensive version, but you may want to run that question by your Oracle sales rep to see if there is a notification requirement.
Whether there would be an opportunity to get some level of refund, though, would be a question for your Oracle sales rep. I would tend to doubt it but you never know.

PC Netlink 2.0 and Windows 2003 Standard Edition

Does anyone know if a Windows 2003 Standard Edition Server can be added as a Domain Member Server to a PC Netlink 2.0 domain?
When I try to join the domain I receive the message;
"The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "DomainName":<br />
<br />
The remote procedure call failed and did not execute."
Thanks
Peter

I have the same Problem; no solution yet.
Accroding to Sun Support Doc # 72542.
PC Netlink is based on NT 4.0 Server.
At the highest level it implements NT 4.0 protocols.
.NET clients, such as Windows 2003, implement a different protocol.

Question regarding Upgrading from Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition

DB version:10gR2
We want to upgrade from Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition.
In the following documention
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/intro.htm#BABFBJCC
It talks about
Deinstall the Standard Edition server software.I don't understand what they mean by DeInstall the software.
Question 1.
By 'DeInstall' , they mean , use DeInstall Products in the Welcome screen of Oracle Universal Installer and Remove the chosen OUI Home.Right?
Question 2.
If i 'Deinstall' (ie. remove the software), all the binaries are lost. Right? So what is the point of having just the data files?

Hello,
The following are a few things you can try:
Copy the media to the local disk drive, unzip it (in case you are installing from an ISO file, and run SQL Server setup from there.
Try to unregister and register the Windows Installer with the following two commands:
msiexec /unregister
msiexec /regserver
Try to use Process Monitor to log the detailed error produced when the installation of dw20sharedamd64.msi fails. You can download Process Monitor from the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
Share with us the error captured by Process Monitor.
Hope this helps.
