Uninstalling CMS from Lync 2010

Now that the CMS has been migrated to our Lync 2013 FE servers, I need to remove the replica from our single Lync 2010 server using
Uninstall-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase -SqlServerFqdn <FQDN of SQL Server> -SqlInstanceName <Name of source server>
We plan on keeping the Lync 2010 server around for a bit even though there are no users on it. I have a single Trusted App for webmail integration still attached to the Lync 2010 server which I plan to move to 2013 sometime in the future. Our
Edge is still 2010.
Question is by removing the CMS replica from the Lync 2010 server, will this interfere with operation of the Edge server? All I am doing is removing CMS replica which is something you are supposed to do after moving CMS to 2013 but I am not sure where the
Edge is currently pulling its replica data from. Since the Edge has access to all internal FE servers I assume that if its getting changes from the 2010 FE and I remove that replica, it will get changes going forward from the 2013 FE. Is there any way
to see the Lync FE replication partners so I can verify this?
Eventually, we will build out a 2013 Edge and at that time decommission the 2010 completely. Its a very simple environment. Just IM and presence. No telephony, monitoring or archiving.

You can establish a pool pairing that includes the pool hosting the Central Management store, a backup Central Management store database is set up in the backup pool,
and Central Management store services are installed in both pools. At any point in time, one of the two Central Management store databases is the active master, and the other is a standby. The content is replicated by the Backup Service from the active master
to the standby.

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.

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,
Uc

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

CMS database move from Lync 2010 to 2013 went well but.....

Something odd when I was done. Everything went perfectly. No errors at all and went as expected. I noticed though after everything was done and I had not yet uninstalled the CMS from Lync 2010 that two services on the Lync 2010 were stopped but in an Automatic
startup state. They are the "Lync Server File Transfer Agent' and the "Lync Server Master Replicator Agent'. Thought it was odd they were both stopped. I am sure it had something to do with the CMS move and all the scripting that goes on. The rest
of the Lync services are running.
I am thinking though if they were supposed to be stopped, why not disable them. Why leave them at Automatic. I am not seeing any errors or warnings at all on the Lync 2010 or 2013 servers. Application, System and Lync Server logs are clean. Everything appears
to be OK.
Thing that concerns me though is when I run the Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus on the 2013 FE, the databases all come back looking good with UpToDate = True but the last replication was last night (about 8-9 hours ago) shortly after I completed the
procedure.
I want to just uninstall the CMS on Lync 2010 which is the last step but I want to make sure everything is OK before I do. Not sure if I should start those services. I never rebooted the 2010 server after moving the CMS. Seems if I did, those services would
have tried to start. Very confused here.
Wanted to add also that I have both the above services on the 2013 FE server and they are both running. And, when I run Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus -CentralManagementStoreStatus on my Lync 2013 FE, it says it is the active master and active file
transfer agent so maybe that is why the services are stopped? If so, what if I had rebooted the 2010 server. Those services would have tried to start because they are set to Automatic.
I guess the real question here is how often should the Lync servers being updating their replicas with each other. We have a very small environment right now with only a few hundred users.

This process of transferring information updates from master to replica is called replication. The replication process consists of copying information between directories from the master to the replicas, applying the changes received to the
replica and report status back to the master.
The MASTER generates the data package containing new changes to CMS and stores a copy in each to-replica directory for every replica.
The data package must be copied to all replicas. All Lync Server 2013 servers, except the Edge Server, uses the Windows file copy SMB protocol mechanism to push the data package from the CMS master to the replica.
For Edge servers, since Edge servers is not a member of domain, the file copy is performed over an HTTPS channel. The Edge Server runs a Web Service on the port specified for the ManagementServices in the topology document. The default port is 4443. Even
you Move CMS store and CMS Master service from 2010 to 2013, the replication is a logical concept so you can replicate CMS information with the help of Lync server 2013 CMS master service.
You can refer to the link below, it is for Lync server 2010 but similar for Lync server 2013:

CMS Migration - Lync 2010 to Lync 2013 & Pool Pairing

Hi all,
Question regarding CMS installation when migrating away from Lync 2010.
Here's a brief overview of topology
- Lync 2010 Pool in Data Centre 1
- Lync 2013 Pool #1 in Data Centre 1
- Lync 2013 Pool #2 in Data Centre 2
- Lync 2013 Pools are paired
Consider the following
- CMS located on SQL Backend server for Lync 2010 Pool
- CMS database installed on SQL Back end for Lync 2013 Pool #1. CMS is moved to this location
Now for correct pool pairing and failover capabilities I would assume that
- CMS database needs to also be installed on SQL back end for Lync 2013 Pool #2
Once this is done then Lync 2013 Pool #2 Front Ends should replicate back into the CMS stored on the back end SQL database for pool #2? Nothing else would need to be done? As soon as it's installed its now a backup?
If I'm reading into this correctly the following from TechNet is basically telling me to do this?
When you establish a pool pairing that includes the pool hosting the Central
Management store, a backup Central Management store database is set up in the
backup pool, and Central Management store services are installed in both pools.
At any point in time, one of the two Central Management store databases is the
active master, and the other is a standby. The content is replicated by the
Backup Service from the active master to the standby.
Thanks,
paul.

Correct, when you enable pool pairing on Pool A - if it's a CMS server - it will prompt you to create the CMS database on Pool B. If you move CMS into a pool that is already pool paired, my experience is that CMS doesn't get created on Pool B because the
creation only happens during the pool pairing setup. Thanks -Richard

Lync 2013 Client pops up automatically while typing in Word , Excel in Windows 7 after upgrade from Lync 2010 client

Hello All,
Facing very much weird issue for only 4 users in my organization. This 4 users are migrated to Lync 2013 pool from Lync 2010 pool with Lync 2010 client migrated to Lync 2013 client.
Now whenever this users are typing in (apps like word, excel) automatically pops up Lync 2013 client which is annoying.
All my users are Windows 7 with latest updates & updates Lync 2013 with latest updates installed.
Any help really appreciated.

Hi
The solution is to do a ‘repair’ install of Office 2013. This will reregister the needed components and the popups will stop.
A repair install can be done from ‘Programs and Features’, highlight Office 2013 and click ‘Change’. When the install wizard appears, choose the ‘repair’ option.

Lync 2013 migration from Lync 2010

Hi All,
I have a problem after I've successfully migrated our Lync environment from Lync 2010 (what was migrated from OCS 2008 R2) to Lync 2013.
When I would like to delete the old Lync 2010 Front End server from the topology I cannot do that, because there are some TrustedApplicationPool registered to that. And I cannot delete this unused TrustedApplicationPools, because I got the following error:
"Remove-CsTrustedApplicationPool : Cannot remove legacy trusted application pool. Use the legacy tools to remove the pool, then run Merge-CsTopology."
I've tried that many ways, I've tried the merging etc. but it was unsuccessful. Has anybody any idea, step-by-step or something what can helpful to me?
Many thanks,
Tamás Dobos

CMS Movement from Lync 2010 to Lync 2013 SQL Mirroring

Hi,
I have read the articles and i know how to move CMS to Lync 2013 , MY question is after moment CMS to Lync 2013 , the new DBs on SQL server will be mirrored automatically or i have to apply some procedure to make them mirror.
Regards
Usman Ghani
Usman Ghani - MCITP Exchange 2010

Good morning,
If the new Lync 2013 Enterprise Pool you deployed has a mirrored backend, then when you move the CMS to that instance the database will inherently be mirrored. There is no requirement to perform any additional action or procedure.
This assumes that you have an enterprise Lync 2013 deployment as a mirrored CMS would not be available on a standard edition deployment.
Kind regards
Ben

Managing "Access Levels" on a domain level from Lync 2010 client

Hello,
Our company moved from Office Communicator 2007 R2 clients to Lync 2010 clients.
Previously in Office Communicator 2007 R2 client, it was possible to set default Access Levels for complete domains (instead of individual users only), using the Access Level Management view.
In the Lync 2010 this options seems to be missing. The management options per user are still there (by right-clicking a user), but the access to manage it for a domain is no longer visible.
Is there any way to manage Access Levels for domains, in a similar way we had in Communicator 2007? It appears that Lync 2010 stilluses the Access Levels set previously for domains, but users do no longer have any possibility to make further updates,
and are stuck (from their perspective at least) with the settings made in 2007 before.
Thanks.

Lync 2010 doesn’t have the feature natively.
With Lync Server 2010, by default, the contacts from federated domains are added as External Contacts.

Call transfer from Lync 2010 attendant failing

Hello,
We are having an intermittent fault with a customer whereby calls into the Reception (Response Group, Attendant routing, Lync 2010 Attendant consoles) connect fine, and the first leg of the consultative transfer (to the internal extension) works fine, however
when the attendant tries to put the call through it pauses then bounces back with an option to retrieve. The call can be retrieved, she tries again and it goes through fine. Due to the high volume of calls this is becoming a massive issue which may result
in us having to remove Lync EV and install a traditional PBX, so any help would be appreciated. Here's the topology:
Lync 2013 Standard Edition
Audiocodes Mediant 1000 with SIP and ISDN30 PSTN lines
Aastra 6725ip Handsets
Lync 2010 Attendant Consoles
Here's a list of what's been tried currently (in no particular order):
Disabling media Bypass
Removing Refer to Gateway
Removing Centralized Media Processing
Upgrading Firmware of the Audiocodes
Upgrading the Aastra handset Lync PE to latest
Patching Lync 2013 Windows Client
Patching Lync 2010 Attendant Console (July 2013)
Rebuilding on Physical server as instead of Virtual
We have tried to capture the OCS Util logs from the FE but cannot see anything. In the monitoring and archiving reports I see this from the server:
52095; reason="Media session terminated on internal client error"
And this from the client:
52095; reason="Media session terminated on internal client error"; OriginalPresenceState="0"; CurrentPresenceState="0"; MeInsideUser="Yes"; ConversationInitiatedBy="0"; SourceNetwork="0"; RemotePartyCanDoIM="No"

I didn’t quite understand your issue. Please try to elaborate a little more.
Did you see the issue with Lync full client?
Check if you can find any event in Lync Server Event Log on Lync Front End Server.
Check you have enough RAM on Lync Front End Server.

Trouble with publishing topology. Migration from Lync 2010 standard to 2013 standard.

Hi,
I have a problem with "Microsoft.Rtc.Applications.Testbot". When I publish the topology I receive an error, I've found many solutions to my problem. One of the best descriptions
I've found here: http://lyncme.co.uk/microsoft-lync-server-2013/unable-to-publish-topology-a-trusted-server-with-the-type-mcxinternal-and-fully-qualified-domain-name-fqdn/
I'm going to do the same method, but I do not understand whether I should remove both entries or only one. If I delete the record 2010, will the 2010 lync continue to work?

Hi Alan,
Lync is not that dependent on what is stored in Active Directory, and the topology builder should recreate any missing entries when it is rerun. I don’t think this operation is a high risk
for the deployment as a whole, but do be careful when using ADSI edit, it’s all at your own risk.
Here’s a similar case for your reference.

Hope it can be helpful.

and If there's anything else to consider before uninstalling Lync 2010 ? I will have to disable/remove all currently Lync enabled users but is there anything else?
I found this article, but would like to know what's the steps in sequence of removing Lync in this case?
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/9849.how-to-remove-lync-server-2010-from-active-directory.aspx
for example, do I have to first
1- Disable LYnc users.
2- Uninstall Lync server Application from Control panel
3- Remove Lync from Active Directory?
Would appreciate your help. thanks

Decommission Lync 2010

Hi
I have just upgraded a Lync 2010 Standard system to 2013. The cms is moved to 2013 and I have uninstalled cms on the 2010 server. The users and conference data is moved to 2013. Therefore, my last step is to decommission the 2010. Before
I procedure with this in the Topology, I notice two things. 1. When I use the command Get-CsSite the old 2010 shows as register and so on. But if I use Get-CsService the new 2013 is primary and in Topology all points to new cms in site. Howe come Get-CsSite
point to 2010? The other thing is when I open up Control Panel the old and new URL is given. Does the URL disappear when 2010 removed in Topology?
Best Regard
Daniel

Hi,
The Lync Server Management Shell Get-CsSite retrieves information for all the Lync Server sites. It should show all the sites information and the pool, services. Make sure all Edge Sever and PSTN Gateway point to the new Lync Sever 2013 Pool.
During the co-existence environment, it will show both Lync Server 2010 and 2013 URL to access Lync Server Control Panel, after delete the Lync Server 2010 pool from topology, the Lync Server 2010 URL will disappear.
