Response Group

Hi ,
I have strange issue that one of the Response group user trying to long in to response group. He is getting 403: Access is denied. But other users on the same response group able to login.
Please help me on this issue

Hi,
Please have a test to login Lync client on other PC then sign in response group and check the issue again. Have you try to remove the agent from the group then add it again for test?

Response Group: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.

Hi all,
I have three central sites with each having a Front End server pool (standard).
Site A and Site B are paired for resiliency. Site C is on its own.
On two of my Front Ends (Site A and Site B), when I click on response group tab i get the following warning on the top of the page:
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
I have check out the following articles about dont think they apply to me:
http://unifiedme.co.uk/2014/01/network-related-instance-specific-error-occurred-accessing-lync-control-panel-response-group-tab/
I dont see any Event logs that would direct me to a cause.
Which database it is complaining about? RGSDYN and RGSCONFIG are local databases as it is an standard installation. What could be the possible cause for this issue?
Thanks in advance.

My latest change was the addition of Site C.
Going through logs (i must have missed it the first time, with all the noisy EWS errors), i found event ID 31147. I am investigating network issues although I have MPLS running to that location.

Any Idea on this issue?

Hi,
below is the recommendation for the MOH file for RGS,
All wave files must meet the following requirements
8-bit or 16-bit file
Linear pulse code modulation (LPCM), A-Law, or mu-Law format
Mono or stereo
4MB or less
For the best performance of wave files, a 16 kHz, mono, 16-bit Wave file is recommended.
get a file converted to above specs and upload. it should work.

Response Group Service stops repeatedly.

Hi,
We have a 3 node Lync 2013 FE pool, running on Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter.
The response group service on all nodes stops periodically at different times. Obviously once all the pool members have stopped this service the Response Groups no longer function. We see the following events in the logs that show the issue:

Delay in the Response Group Rining / Call Pickup from another Extension

Dear All,
We have just finished a deployment of Lync 2013 with Sonus 1000 as the Mediation Gateway, we have deloyed polycom VVX 600 phones,
We have two lines E1 and 5 Fxo lines (with same Pilot Number)
I would like the Receptionist to have both E1 DID number and FXO number and her phone to ring when the calls comes from DID line as well as FXO,
I have the below scenario
1) Currently the setup is that Receptionist is configured with the E.164 DID number : (Line URI is Tel:+971XXXX500;ext=500), which work perfectly fine
2) We have added receptionist in Response Group , and setting are (Formal,10 sec , Attendant)
The issue :
1) Call forwarding does not work on Response Group (which is by design it self)
2) When a call comes from the outside to FXO it goes to response group , (there is Music played and the ring on reception is delayed by 2-3 secs) ,
Customer does not want this delay , it should ring immediately with no music,
3) If the receptionist moves from one location to any other location to another , she should have the ability to remotely perform call forward to that extension by simply dialing few codes on the phone ( I already told customer
about PIN based authentication, by customer does like the idea of signing in or signing out)
In DIRE NEED OF HELP,
Regards,
Hasan Reza,

Hi,
Did the issue only happen for IP Phone in Response Group or also happen for Lync client in Response Group?
If the issue only happen for IP Phone, it seems to be an known issue. Please Make sure Lync Server update to the latest version and then test again.
Here are several similar case may help you:

Response Groups not working

Hi there
My environment is a single Lync 2013 Front End Server installed on Server 2012.
It works since a year and now we want to use some response groups. I created 2 of them and everything seems fine but i cant call these groups. Not from internal and also not from external.
The clients shows an 500 internal server error with ID 26017.
So i traced the whole thing on the Front End Server. It seems the Response Group Service cant work with the local SQL Server. I see three error messages.
1. TL_ERROR(TF_COMPONENT) [2]0B90.37A8::07/23/2014-06:38:39.119.000002fb (RgsClientsLib,MatchMakingLocator.GetActiveInstanceFromDB:683.idx(479))
(0000000000150BA8)No instance registered as the active instance!
2. TL_ERROR(TF_COMPONENT) [1]1E08.2910::07/23/2014-06:38:42.462.00000a34 (RgsHostingFramework,CallControlManager.HandleAudioVideoCall:2049.idx(619))
(000000000362D054)Call is declined because Call Control is not started.
3. TL_WARN(TF_COMPONENT) [1]0B90.0B7C::07/23/2014-06:38:48.053.00000f2d (RgsClientsLib,MatchMakingLocator.GetActiveMatchMakingInstance:683.idx(301))
(0000000000150BA8)There is currently no active MatchMaking instance in the pool.
The Lync Server Event Log shows this error when the Response Group Service starts:
LS Response Group Service ID 31067
Lync Server 2013, Response Group Service Match Making could not find the Contact object used for subscribing to agents' presence.
Cause: The application has not been properly activated or the Contact object was deleted.
Resolution:
Deactivate and then activate the application for this pool.
Is there a way to reinstall / reconfigure the whole response group service incl. the active directory objects?
I hope somebody could help
Regards
Andreas

He ran Get-CsApplicationEndpoint and received a warning that let him to a resolution.
Short of that, I'd rerun step 2 in the deployment wizard and restart services when you can to see if I could jog anything loose.

Response Groups - Duplicate "Built In" Services - Multiple Default Routing Endpoints

Hello,
I have a Lync 2013 deployment that has been migrated from OCS 2007, to OCS 2007 R2, to Lync 2010, and now to Lync 2013. I am including that information as that may be important for the following discussion.
When the Response Group Service starts, it logs four error messages which I will place at the bottom of this post. The error messages point to duplicate routing endpoints for the same service. Upon review, it appears to me that I have duplicates of the following
two services, when I look up the below SIP addresses with Get-CSApplicationEndpoint.
Announcement Service
RGS Presence Watcher
My guess is that during one of these migrations, we ended up with a duplicate service. The problem is - how do I get rid of the duplicate, and how do I know which is the duplicate and which I want to keep? Error messages below.
Lync Server 2013, Response Group Service was not able to establish the application endpoint.
The following exception occurred when establishing application endpoint associated with 'sip:RtcApplication-9ebda80c-12e1-4db6-b5f3-f0dc9585ad4d@<scrubbed>.com': System.InvalidOperationException - The ChannelDispatcher at 'net.tcp://<server scrubbed>:8404/'

Cause: Failed to connect to Front End server or the Front End server is misconfigured.

Exception: System.ArgumentException - Only one default routing endpoint is allowed per platform. The platform already contains a default routing Endpoint.
Inner Exception: ~
Cause: Networking problems with the Front End server, or Front End server configuration problems.

Intermittent Failure of incoming calls to Response Group

Hello,
We're running Lync Server 2010 and intermittently calls coming into the response group don't ring the attendant or take a long time to start ringing. We ARE seeing events in the event log pertaining to the LS Response Group Service as show below. I

Did this issue happen to multiple response group?
Did this happen to calls from PSTN calls?
This problem is mostly related with network issue.

Hi,
Please check the configuration of the Response Group Service with the help of the link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd441277(v=office.13).aspx
Please check the OCS components that are required to implement the Response Group Service below:
Application Server and Response Group Service
Language pack
Administrative tools
Web Components Server
Internet Information Services
Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2
You can try to use the workflows that you crated to validate the deployment.

Inbound calls to response group - failed

Hi!
I have a problem with inbound calls to Response group from external phones. But calls from Lync client to Response Group are working without problem. And calls from external phones to Lync users perfectly working too.
I found this alert in event viewer
Event 31172 LS response group service
The workflow runtime encountered an error while connecting the call.
The workflow runtime encountered a critical error.

I hope for your help!!! Thanks!!

Hi,
Here is a similar case for your reference. Try to remove NAT and have the SIP line connect direct to Lync Server.

The Response Group application was unable to transfer the call to the configured destination and no fallback exists

Hey,
I get this error message when calling into an unassigned number which redirects to a response group:
From user URI:
sip:[email protected];gruu;opaque=srvr:Microsoft.Rtc.Applications.Acd:RS6nRGV9DlmpNsLtmz5qeQAA
To user URI:
0220198611;phone-context=DefaultProfile
From user agent:
RTCC/4.0.0.0 Response_Group_Service Announcement_Service
Diagnostic header:
26005; reason="The Response Group application was unable to transfer the call to the configured destination and no fallback exists."
Interestingly "To user URI: 0220198611;phone-context=DefaultProfile" is the number off the caller not the destination. I wonder is this a bug? So is the response group trying to transfer to this number and failing because of course it doesnt exist?
As you can see the below the number I am calling is not 0220198611:
From phone number: 0220198611;phone-context=DefaultProfile
To phone number: +6493760053 From mediation server: onzlyncfe1.domain.co.nz To mediation server: From gateway: 192.168.100.70
To gateway:
Disconnected by: +6493760053
Does the calling party's number have to be normalised? If so how can I do this because the global normailisation rules dont seem to apply
in this situation. These rules do work when when calling into a users DDI.
Also to be clear....
+6493760053 is an unassigned number which is setup to redirect to a response group.
If I assign +6493760053 to a user then it works.
Additionally this works perfectly when the gateway sends the call to our legacy 2007r2 mediation server then on to Lync. If the gateway sends the call directly to the co-located Lync mediation server I get the error described.
I hope I make sense. If you are confused let me know :)
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi ANdrew
Kindly advise how you transfered the unassigned numbers to a specific user, i used the below command but it failled, the message displayed but the call never routed:
New-CsAnnouncement -Parent service:ApplicationServer:LyncFE.squareone.local -Name "SQ unassigned number announcement" -TextToSpeechPrompt "You entered an invalid extinsion you will be forwarded to the operator" -Language "en-US" -TargetUri "sip:[email protected];user=phone"
While [email protected] is the sip uri in my lync for the operator
could you advise what is my issue?

Lync response group stops after a while with receiving incomming calls

Hi Folks,
We have a strange issue with the response groups of Lync.
It seems that the response group randomly stops working, what means that the users can't receive their call trough the response groups.
Only the response group call(s) don't work, the pstn -> lync lync-> lync call just works fine.
The quick fix is to restart one of the Lync front end servers.
But, that is not really a solution.
The event viewer don't show anything about this problem. Also the Lync monitoring service don't show anything.
Sometimes restarting the Windows Lync response group services solves the problem, but most of the time we need to restart the whole server.
I'm curious some people has the same experience.
If you need more information about our deployment, please feel free to ask.

Hi,
I suggest you try to gather some logs on the Mediation server to see what is happening. Please use Lync logging tool and capture the data for S4
and then try to see if there are any errors after reporduce the problem.
Please try to enable logging tool to get detailed report:

Response Group Presence

Hi All,
Ran into a rather rare and strange issue at one of our customer
sit so was wondering if someone has experienced this before. At
that site, in all Lync clients, the presence of one of the Response Groups (IT Helpdesk) looks offline and its icon does not
the normal robot (icon for contacts) but just a
picture less human one. I have checked and there are no users with the same name as the RG. It was fine last week so not sure what happened. Just to add, calls were not being transferred to any agents so had to restart the RGS service to fix it that
part of working. Any ideas?
Chris.

Any ideas? -Nothing more than, restart that service and keep those patches up to date, sorry.
Has anyone experienced this before? -Yes, me, and I also restarted to fix (also was at current patch level).
I've also experienced a glitch where despite a user's presence being available, and being the first in the group configured to be "serial", she would get the call last. A restart fixed this as well and it hasn't come back in 3 months. I've seen
some funny things that the restart fixes it and they don't tend to come back, they're very rare though. A deep dive in the logger and LcsCDR didn't seem to reveal much other than it just didn't want to offer the call to that user first.

Response Group to PSTN Outbound Caller ID

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to implement an after hours paging service on our lync system using a response group (with overflow set to 0), but the problem I'm currently facing is that the outbound calling number ID is set to the number of the caller, which I'm not legally
allowed to present here in Australia. I could in theory set the number to be private, but that will cause people to screen the calls.
Is there any way to get the RGS application to set the call history in the same way that simultaneous ringing does, even perhaps on some server side-scripting?
This is the SIP info I get in a simultaneous ring, where xxx is the number they called, and yyy being the number they called from.
HISTORY-INFO: <sip:+xxx@frontend;user=phone>;index=1,<sip:+yyy@frontend;user=phone>;index=1.1
Any input would be very appreciated :)

I'm curious what happens if you try this:
You'd create a new voice policy, PSTN usage and route. On the route, you mask the caller ID to be your business's primary number.
Then assign that policy to a user account that you've created just for this purpose. That user account should forward it's calls to the number the response group should call.
Then, with the overflow still set to 0, instead of a calling the number, you call that forwarding user account with the caller id mask.

Response Group problems

For the past few weeks I have been struggling with launching response groups and I am hoping someone might be able to help.
Little background on my config –
2 – Frontend 2013 servers (5.0.8308.556)
Sonus SBC1000 voice gateway, 1 PRI
Stuff that works – Direct calling inbound to end users works great!
So here is my problem. I set up a response group with a direct dial number to the outside and assign my people to the group and everything is good.
For about 15mins response groups work great! After about 15mins response groups stop working and calls to response groups are no longer picked up. This also affects chat with response groups.
When I turn on the logging software inside Lync I get these messages when the calls are dropped;
TL_INFO(TF_COMPONENT) [1]3784.356C::04/14/2014-14:24:54.627.018e2f49 (RgsCommonLibrary,RgsLogMessage.ReportMessage:2111.idx(227))
_rgs_message_begin_
Direction: Incoming
From: tel:+15555555555
To: sip:[email protected]
Message: CALLCONTROL: Call declined because CallControl is not started
WorkflowId: 08d328a20de8419caad0dee898586051
TL_ERROR(TF_COMPONENT) [1]3784.356C::04/14/2014-14:24:54.627.018e2f4a (RgsHostingFramework,CallControlManager.HandleAudioVideoCall:2049.idx(619))
(0000000000C9D21E)Call is declined because Call Control is not started.
I then simply restart response groups on one of the FE servers and they come back (for a short time) -
Here some interesting events logged in the Lync Server event logs after Response Group Service is restarted –
LS Response Group Service – 31028 - A WorkflowRuntime cannot be started.
Lync Server 2013, Response Group Service Match Making could not find the Contact object used for subscribing to agents' presence. Cause: The application has not been properly activated or the Contact object was deleted. Resolution: Deactivate and then activate
the application for this pool.
I am willing to try just about anything to get this to work. Any ideas out there? Thanks for all your help!

Please check if the application server is active(lync control panel--Topology--status--double click your FE SERVER--applicationserver).
If the application server is not started, please start it. If it is started, restart it.
If issue still exist, use following steps:
use following command Get-CsApplicationEndpoint
And check for messages in "Yellow"
Locate the Identity in Active Directory using ADSIEdit
And Delete the "CN" located at the end of the Identity String
And try and add your Line URI or Response Group SIP Address.

Response Group caller ID

Hello,
We have recently deployed Lync 2013 as a migration from 2010, something our users have noticed what looks like a change in the response group behavior.
When an incoming call comes in you see the usual toast with the caller ID in it as you did in 2010, BUT once the call connects the caller ID appears to be replaced by the name of the server that is currently running the response group service.
Has anybody noticed this? is it something that can be changed as my agents don't care about what server they are connected to they would rather have the caller ID so they can write it down etc...
Thanks
James

Hi,
Does this issue happen when the call came from PSTN or internal Lync users, or both?
I suggest trying to enable logging tool and reproduce the issue to get report for further troubleshooting.
