With this release a ton of new features and changes that will make this version the best one yet!
In this post I will outline one of the new Skype for Business improvements - Certificates! Something that I have seen just about everyone that has tried to deploy Lync spend hours, days if not weeks trying to get the certificates correct.
When deploying your Skype for Business Server, the deployment is very much the same as Lync 2010/2013 until you click Request!<br />

This post will show<b> detailed how-to on upgrading an Enterprise Pool from Lync 2013 to Skype for Business Server. </b>The process is similar for upgrading Standard Edition Pools and the same principals and concepts apply.<br />
<br />
The LAB I am performing this update to is as followed:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>3 Lync 2013 Front End Servers in a pool called lspool01.lmlab-a.com</li>
<li>1 SQL 2012 Back-end</li>
<li>1 File Share located on Domain Controller</li>
<li><b>15,000</b> users provisioned on this LAB Lync 2013 pool</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbTQJknv_ZV6gKmXU4ygi3_Rwi1_2VjJJ4lXyDAyfYVuRnWUt7A7MdnHfkIjoli2F7TctEUn_gyhLRlV6K4PPKPAkrpC-iBWwwyGvSRBUY__Pqypam3NL2QX4ZIKlT-1XOdpFJaAE11E4/s1600/1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbTQJknv_ZV6gKmXU4ygi3_Rwi1_2VjJJ4lXyDAyfYVuRnWUt7A7MdnHfkIjoli2F7TctEUn_gyhLRlV6K4PPKPAkrpC-iBWwwyGvSRBUY__Pqypam3NL2QX4ZIKlT-1XOdpFJaAE11E4/s1600/1.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After the upgrade the pool will be running Skype for Business Server 2015 running on the same SQL 2012 back-end. In a later post I will document on setting up an Always ON SQL 2014 cluster, but for this post will be a single back end server.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>NOTE</b>: As documented in this article <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn951388.aspx">https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn951388.aspx</a> Windows Server 2008 R2 is no longer recommended to use with Skype for Business Server due to changes and limitations with Server 2008 R2 and Windows Fabric. All 3 of these Front End Servers are running Server 2012 R2.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;"><i>Testing Purpose</i>: </span>This guide is helpful for upgrading your Lync 2013 pool to Skype for Business Server 2015 using the In-Place Upgrade feature. Before running through these steps in your production environment, test it!. Confirm your topology, servers and services are functional and error free before upgrading.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i><span style="color: red;">Production Notice</span></i></b><span style="color: red;"><b><i>: </i></b></span>For anyone doing an In-Place Upgrade in their production environment note that doing this process <b>without moving users to a secondary pool will disrupt users until the upgrade process is complete on ALL front-end servers.</b> It is recommended to either move all your users to a secondary pool before upgrading the primary pool, or schedule a maintenance window.<br />
<br />
<div>
Also depending on the O/S Lync 2013 is running on, you will need to install these following hot-fix's. If not you will run into issues during the upgrade process. The corresponding hot-fix must be installed on every Lync front-end server you are upgrading.</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Server 2008 R2</b> - KB 2533623 needs to be installed. <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2533623/" target="_blank">Get it here.</a></li>
<li><b>Server 2012</b> - KB 2858668 needs to be installed. <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2858668/" target="_blank">Get it here</a>.</li>
<li><b>Server 2012 R2</b> - KB 2928006 needs to be installed.<a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2982006/" target="_blank"> Get it here</a>.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div>
Also here is a list of other requirements and recommendations prior to doing an In-Place Upgrade:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Lync Servers must be patched! visit this link for the latest Lync 2013 CU patches - <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2809243">https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2809243</a></li>
<li>All local instances of SQL on Front-End/Edge Servers need to be 2012 SP1+</li>
<li>Uninstall LRS Admin tool from Lync Server 2013 before running In-Place Upgrade</li>
<li>Upgrade the topology from the inside to the outside. (pools, edge servers, CMS pool)</li>
<li>If you use Kerberos authentication for Web Services, you must reassign Kerberos accounts and reset the password after the In-Place Upgrade is complete</li>
<li>SBA/SBS must be removed from the pool that you are wanting to upgrade. After the update the SBA/SBS can be added back</li>
</ul>
<div>
The process of an In-Place Upgrade must be done from another computer that's joined to the same Active Directory Domain that Lync 2013 is installed in, but cannot have the Lync 2013 Administrative Tools installed. You can use a management PC for this, or another non-Lync server.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">STEP 1: Install Administrator Tools and download topology</span></i></b></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>From your Management PC/Server Install the Skype for Business Administrator Tools. </li>
<li>From the installation media run setup from Volume\Setup\AMD64\setup.exe</li>
<li>On the deployment wizard, install Administrator tools</li>
</ol>

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">STEP 3: Upgrade Front-End Servers to Skype for Business</span></i></b><br />
<br />
Before starting the upgrade process of your Enterprise Edition Pool you must disable the running services on all front-end servers in the pool. If you have more then 1 pool you can move your users to the secondary pool while you upgrade the primary.<br />
<br />
Next run the following command in Lync PowerShell that will be upgraded.<br />
<br />
<i>Disable-CsComputer -Scorch</i><br />
<br />
The above command will disable all the Lync 2013 services running on the front-end server. The -scorch switch will uninstall all the Lync 2013 services from the front-end server.<br />
<br />
<b>Remember to run this on every front-end server in the pool.</b><br />
<br />

<div>
Depending on your scenario run only ONE of the below commands:</div>
<br />
If this is an Enterprise Edition back-end and there are <b>no collocated databases</b> on this server<br />
<i>Install-CsDatabase -Update -ConfiguredDatabases -SqlFqdn "sqlbackend.domain.com"</i><br />

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">STEP 5: Start new Skype for Business Pool and Verify</span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b>
After all the front end servers in the pool have been upgraded using the same process as described in this article and the back-end database has been upgraded, it is time to start the pool by running one single command.<br />
<br />
<div>
Open the Skype for Business Server Management Shell and type - <i>Start-CsPool -PoolFqdn "poolname.domain.com"</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Depending on the size of your front-end pool, and the number of routing groups within the front-end pool the start-up can take some time.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><br /></i>
Once the command has completed, login to the Skype for Business Control Panel, click Topology and confirm that all services have started and replication is successful. Also login as a user that is homed on the Skype for Business pool and verify functionality.<br />
<br />

I hope this upgrade how-to assists you in getting your environment moved to Skype for Business from Lync 2013. Over the next few weeks I will be posting more Skype for Business transition articles including SQL 2014 AlwaysOn.<br />

This is resolved by editing the Web.config files in Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 adding the following key:<br />
<ol>
<li><pre class="csharpcode"><add key=<span class="str">"disableConferenceKeyVerification"</span> <span class="kwrd">value</span>=<span class="str">"true"</span> /></pre>
</li>
<li><pre class="csharpcode"> <add key=<span class="str">"disableRedirectionToHomePool"</span> <span class="kwrd">value</span>=<span class="str">"false"</span> /></pre>
</li>
</ol>
that key needs to be added to the following files on the Lync 2010/2013 Front-End Servers:<br />
<br />
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Web Components\Join Launcher\Int\web.config <br />
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Web Components\Join Launcher\Ext\web.config<br />
<br />
After applying the change and perform IISRESET, the Lync 2010 and 2013 servers.<br />

In most cases a two-way trust is configured between both forests and most times it stay's this way until something like "Hey we want Lync" comes around. <br />
<br />
In these kind of environments putting Lync Server into a resource forest makes the most sense. We can synchronize users from both forests into contact objects, and makes adding additional environments (more company purchase's) much more simplified.<br />
<br />
In this post I am going to be going over how we can leverage FIM (Forefront Identity Manager) to synchronize user forest information into contact objects in the Lync resource forest. This method is recommended when you have multiple user forests and a ton (100s. 1000s, 10,000s) of users.<br />
<br />
<strong>Guide Topology Overview</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>NOTE: <u>The purpose of this Guide is to demonstrate the configuration of FIM for the use of user synchronization using Lync Server 2013 in a multiple forest configuration. It does not provide best practices on SQL, Windows or Lync configuration(s) or sizing.</u></strong><br />
<br />
The Forefront Identity Manager Server in this post will be running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. Also note that SQL is required for FIM, I installed SQL 2008 R2 on the FIM Server and will leverage that.<br />
<br />
I have 3 forests total<br />
<br />
<u>LMLAB-A.COM</u> = User Forest<br />
<u>LMLAB-B.COM</u> = User Forest<br />
<u>LYNCMEBLOG.COM</u> = Resource Forest (Lync 2013 Standard Edition)<br />
<br />
More information on creating trusts (<a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc816590(v=ws.10).aspx)" target="_blank">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc816590(v=ws.10).aspx)</a><br />
<br />
<strong>Forefront Identity Manager prerequisites</strong><br />
<br />
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1<br />
SQL Server 2008+ (To install the FIM DB)<br />
.NET FrameWork 4.5 (This is required to run the Lync FIM extensions)<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Step 1: </strong><strong>Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 Installation</strong><br />
<br />
Insert/Mount the FIM installation media, and open the FIMSplash.htm file and click "Install Synchronization Service"<br />

<b>Step 7:</b> <b>Importing, Synchronizing and Provisioning</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<div>
Here is a quick drill down of the Import, Synchronization and Provisioning in <b>Step 7</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: lime;"><span style="color: #444444;">#1 Lync Forest - Right click Lync Forest Management Agent, Click Run -> Full Import</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: lime;"><span style="color: #444444;">#4 User Forest - Right click User Forest Management Agent, Click Run -> Full Sync</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: lime;"><span style="color: #444444;">#5 Lync Forest - Right click Lync Forest Management Agent, Click Run -> Export</span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: lime;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
This is the last step in synchronizing your user objects to the Lync Forest.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>NOTE: <u>During the import, synchronize and provisioning I am starting with the Lync Forest first, this is a <span style="font-size: large;">requirement</span>. If you do this in any other order the objects will not synchronize and provision correctly.</u></b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
If we look at the Lync Resource Active Directory Users and Computers, and go to our OU that we specified in step 5 we have no users in that OU.</div>
<div>

I am not discouraging people from learning Lync but not in a PRODUCTION environment.<br />
<br />
A friend and IT pro of mine was running into issues with a partially configured environment and a strange edge pool issue, where video and audio calls from external were hit and miss. I advised him to connect to each edge server individually (HOSTS file) and run traces. <br />
<br />
What was discovered on the second edge server was quite interesting during the TLS negotiation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh34O3sc2CYKlQXnexYkTjAiNbnb2ejHSe3jO2DeWUtkLv_xw7lpppCtbUVmyo9Rpq9ugxuN9TQEw3kt82ZGV6RnsdnHVV_tfgOt56uoOyWoThATUn5VgCu5Kg99eG62AMSO46kKZ2yWFY/s1600/0.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="108" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh34O3sc2CYKlQXnexYkTjAiNbnb2ejHSe3jO2DeWUtkLv_xw7lpppCtbUVmyo9Rpq9ugxuN9TQEw3kt82ZGV6RnsdnHVV_tfgOt56uoOyWoThATUn5VgCu5Kg99eG62AMSO46kKZ2yWFY/s1600/0.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
It was confirmed that all the certificates were valid with the correct CN/SAN names on the edge server. It was then discovered there were <u><span style="color: red;">over a dozen certificates in the personal store</span></u> (from failed attempts) on the edge server. I asked for all unrequired certificates to be removed and the only ones left are the certificates being used.<br />
<br />
After all the non valid certificates were removed, and the edge services restarted, VOILA video/audio issues resolved.<br />
<br />
For anyone reading this post, and you are unclear of the path required to create valid certificates on the Edge and even on the Front-End servers I have added the Microsoft TechNet articles for the certificate requirements for both Edge and Front-End servers.<br />
<br />
Remember, if your certificates are in need of a SAN change/re-key please delete your old certificates!<br />
<br />
A clean environment is a healthy environment.<br />

</div>
As of a few weeks ago I decided to start yet another blog on Office 365 topics. Some topics will intaily have some topics from this blog but will surround the tasks needed or information indended for Office 365. <br />
<br />
Reasoning behind this is I have been working alot with Office 365 over the last 12 months (more then Lync Deployments) and feel I should share some deployment senerios, gotch-ya's and guids.<br />
<br />
You can read this Office 365 blog at <a href="http://lyncmeonline.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">http://lyncmeonline.blogspot.ca/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
On a side note, I will be adding more articles to this blog ( I haven't forgotten about it!!) But sadly my project focus has not been with Lync lately. So I will be making a best effort to update this blog more frequently.<br />
<br />

After some quick digging the use of IIS ARR is a supported method as per the Microsoft Technet article <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398069.aspx">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398069.aspx</a>.<br />
<br />
<strong>NOTE</strong>: I have also been told by other consultants that they have configured and used IIS ARR with Lync 2010 and is fully supported. Mentioned in the "Information" section of this article <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398069.aspx">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398069.aspx</a><br />
<br />
The configuration of IIS ARR for Lync 2013 was very straight forward.<br />
<br />
IIS ARR is supported on <strong>Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2 and Server 2012</strong>. For this post I will be using Server 2012.<br />
<br />
<br />
As like TMG you will need to configure 2 Network Adapters. One will be for external communication with a default gateway to accept requests from the Internet, and the second adepter will be for communication to your Lync 2013 environment.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghVS-mzFmYHmvhjCVSJNRp4OAyfIjhaXTc8bubi39bY7fx0I9hS87qrxofMCYX7ONZ3xtR1WN4RC18IGyUdWJHIjdFiM3lzYOgBR29a-IspHErxLKuuH8P5PnTlynsJeADzCM7gfHMNJc/s1600/1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" iya="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghVS-mzFmYHmvhjCVSJNRp4OAyfIjhaXTc8bubi39bY7fx0I9hS87qrxofMCYX7ONZ3xtR1WN4RC18IGyUdWJHIjdFiM3lzYOgBR29a-IspHErxLKuuH8P5PnTlynsJeADzCM7gfHMNJc/s320/1.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Also do not join your IIS ARR server to your domain <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="320" iya="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiofck9j6MDqgJ7Bm2WwCSFODtENFYjRaHFgWx-yf3ccp8_RGuWxFnZmGXwjBThu9xdjmm1pHXvhxVxIPDExYIZJtkUkvR7ELFK-csPUISYnd-YSL8CTtWmZNzkFUxIT5lUK70wgQw4V4s/s320/2.PNG" width="272" /> </div>
<br />
After your networking is configured, and confirmed you can browse the Internet and still ping your internal Lync 2013 environment, install IIS (Web Server) on your ARR server. Which can be done either by PowerShell or using Server Manager.<br />
<br />
Next, Export your public Lync 2013 certificate and import it into your IIS ARR server<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next specify the FQDN of your Enterprise Pool or Standard Edition Lync Server. Also drop down "Advanced Settings..." and change the default ports to 8080 and 4443 (which are our External Web Service ports). And click Finish<br />
<br />
<br />

Now your server farm is created with either your Enterprise Pool or Standard Edition Server defined. Next we will make some configuration changes to the Server Farm<br />
<br />

<br />
Under Caching, disable the disk cache.<br />
<br />
Specifically for Lync External web services, under Proxy, change the time-out to 200 seconds. This prevents the Lync Web App from experiencing disconnecting and reconnecting unexpectedly. <br />
<br />
Under Routing Rules, disable the SSL offloading option.<br />
<br />
Now we are going to configure the URL Rewrite rules. This is similar to what TMG did in rewriting the external meet/dialin/ext urls internally to your Lync Front End Servers.<br />
<br />
Click the Root (Server Name) in IIS, and in the IIS settings click "URL Rewrite"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />Apply your Rewrite rule changes, and test. Now you should be able to open <a href="https://meet.domain.com/">https://meet.domain.com</a> externally (or by HOST record change meet/dialin/ext to external IP of IIS Server) and get to your Lync 2013 external services.<br />

I do apologies to everyone that reads my blog I have had 0 time to post any migration articles. But will try to get back into it very shortly.<br />
<br />
But here is an interesting article that was I was pointed to by some folks at Microsoft here in Canada.<br />
<br />
My team and I have been doing alot of work with Office 365 Wave 15. Migrations, co-existence, hybrid with Lync on-premises. And was advised that Lync Online is going to be changing their certificates as of June 1st 2013.<br />
<br />
I wont post about the changes, as they can be found here,<br />
<br />
<a href="http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2013/05/13/action-needed-lync-online-certificate-update.aspx" target="_blank">http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2013/05/13/action-needed-lync-online-certificate-update.aspx</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Long story short from the article, you will need to download the Baltimore Root certificate if you do not use Windows Update on a regular biases, or you have security policies in place that do not allow for all trusted root certificate authority certificates to be stored on your servers.<br />
<br />
You can download the root certificate here.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://cacert.omniroot.com/bc2025.crt">https://cacert.omniroot.com/bc2025.crt</a><br />
<br />
NOTE: This root certificate will need to be installed on every server that will come in contact with Lync Online.<br />
<br />
Steps to install<br />
<br />
Step 1: Download and Save the crt file above.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And there we have it. If you do not download specific updates, or have company regulations against storing specific certificates, this certificate needs to be installed by June 1st 2013 or any federation/hybrid/co-existence you have with Lync Online will stop working.<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading, I hope I can start writing my co-existence articles very soon.Tim Day - MCP, MCITP, MCSE, FCNSAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15981859744273688876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105431236986649233.post-25729371446827936642013-01-06T19:14:00.000-05:002013-01-06T19:21:26.552-05:00Coexistence Between Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 Pools Part 1<br />
With a lot of the new features in Lync 2013 , a lot of company's will be wanting to migrate from Lync Server 2010 to 2013. The below guide will co-exist a current Lync Server 2010 topology (csfe.lyncmeblog.local) with Lync Server 2013 (ls13pool.lyncmeblog.com).<br />
<br />
The deployment steps are the same as my Lync Server 2013 Preview Deployment Guide, but there are screen shots but a lot of the steps are missing up to the co-existence.<br />
<br />
The following assumptions are made:<br />
<br />
You currently have Lync Server 2010 running and functioning including a healthy CMS and all DNS records are created.<br />
<br />
You have installed all required prerequisites on your "Lync Server 2013" Server including PowerShell 3.0, ASP .NET 4.5 which I outlined in my Lync Server 2013 Preview Deployment Guide.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">NOTE</span></strong>: Some of the screen shots reflect the "Preview" edition. I started writing this post using Preview before my lab died. When I reinstalled Lync in my new lab I used the RTM copy of Lync 2013. But the process outlined in this guide are the same as using RTM through out the deployment.<br />
<br />
Step 1: Prepare Active Directory for Lync Server 2013<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-4hT5bPAZ2yAE0qMcPQ48BiSB3r_RGPyqw4ZAqItpjnC2MCznZcpTMvQMlkjnMzXP1tnmMpsdiPEmU7_FVZhK98ZplbSH4gqeAkFQlLKrz0VfZrFvUAvaPEMqDShLVrhMP4MC-gJu738/s1600/10.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-4hT5bPAZ2yAE0qMcPQ48BiSB3r_RGPyqw4ZAqItpjnC2MCznZcpTMvQMlkjnMzXP1tnmMpsdiPEmU7_FVZhK98ZplbSH4gqeAkFQlLKrz0VfZrFvUAvaPEMqDShLVrhMP4MC-gJu738/s320/10.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 2: Install Administrative Tools which includes the Lync 2013 Topology Builder.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMGS4zofNrBirzdMWTHuhYB4f5Jl_4w2-8aqMyIuMALGYOI97hBEjkgBXWN0Y7zxmbPDT2wILnLTY59G4wX-fLn6pj5WaazWgu0wFa9YO65IdrEQO3VIiTcpUzgkGHkyXtFUa4lkVHFNE/s1600/12.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMGS4zofNrBirzdMWTHuhYB4f5Jl_4w2-8aqMyIuMALGYOI97hBEjkgBXWN0Y7zxmbPDT2wILnLTY59G4wX-fLn6pj5WaazWgu0wFa9YO65IdrEQO3VIiTcpUzgkGHkyXtFUa4lkVHFNE/s320/12.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Step 3: Open the new Lync Server 2013 Topology Builder, and Download the existing topology. This will download your current Lync Server 2010 topology so we can start to add our new pools.<br />
<br />
As you can see the new topology builder spread's out both deployments into 3 separate categories (Lync Server 2010, Lync Server 2013 and Shared Components).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4: For this guide I will be creating a Lync Server 2013 Standard Edition Pool, But the same concept applies for creating a Enterprise Pool.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgupN7YNs_QimUNczmVUv8Eiwh5wij82ElJOHy8KI1QmazTCp5P-1E5qS3ov-DbLN6174G7FLZG8vNjuuHICJwZJts6zl42mdxcYFBjZ-Bb1TWXjZ6gYDCOau8p-Ph457XnKljyAjpzcoE/s1600/13.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgupN7YNs_QimUNczmVUv8Eiwh5wij82ElJOHy8KI1QmazTCp5P-1E5qS3ov-DbLN6174G7FLZG8vNjuuHICJwZJts6zl42mdxcYFBjZ-Bb1TWXjZ6gYDCOau8p-Ph457XnKljyAjpzcoE/s320/13.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this guide I will be only be enabling Enterprise Voice as I had to scrap my Web Apps Server for my Lync Server 2010 server. But in my last guide noted above I did deploy a Web Apps server for conferencing.</div>

Now here is where I slow down this guide and start the co-existence and migration steps.<br />
<br />
Once the Lync Server 2013 Preview services are started, you need to run the following command <br />
PS: > Update-CsAdminRole<br />
<br />
This command updates RBAC settings in the current Lync Server 2010 Topology to insure Lync Server 2013 Preview PowerShell and Control Panel works correctly.<br />

Below I have illustrated moving my user account (<a href="mailto:tday@lyncmeblog.com">tday@lyncmeblog.com</a>) from Lync 2010 Pool (csfe.lyncmeblog.local) to Lync 2013 Pool (ls13pool.lyncmeblog.com) and using the same meeting URL (<a href="https://meet.lyncmeblog.com/">https://meet.lyncmeblog.com</a>) to join an online meeting. At first the connection always goes to the Lync 2010 front-end as that's where I have the meet URL pointing too, but once I move the user to Lync 2013 the Join Launcher will redirect to the new pool.</div>

So when migrating your users from Lync 2010 and Lync 2013, there is a very seamless integration between both editions. The dial in URL works a little differently. While the dialin.domain.com URL is pointing to your Lync 2010 Pool, all your 2010 and 2013 users will use the 2010 dial in page. When the user is on a 2013 pool and logs into the 2010 dial in page, no "2013" redirection will occur. They can use the Assigned Conference Information URL to use to login to their 2013 Lync Web App.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you wish to move your dial in page to point to your Lync 2013 Pool you can do so at anytime. The 2013 dial in page will authenticate 2010 Pool users the same way.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But during co-existence leave your meet.domain.com page pointing at your 2010 Pool while users are still homed on 2010.</div>

There is no real process for IM co-existence between both 2010 and 2013 versions. Just move one of your test users to your 2013 pool and send an IM to a user still on the 2010 Pool. Below I have sent a message between pools, and captured the logging data in Snooper just so we can see the connection between the pools being made.</div>

<br />
I am almost done building out the VMs :)<br />
<br />
for anyone that's interested my lab server now runs an Intel i7 3820 3.60Ghz, 64GB Ram, and 2 RAID 1 array's so I can separate the VMs load across multiple disks.<br />

Microsoft has done an excellent job on creating this app to work very well with Windows 8.<br />
I like how clean Microsoft decided to leave it, which makes for a very fluid app.<br />

Even window snapping works very well in this app, one thing I noticed when you click one of the menu items it will expand the app to show a larger screen view and wont stay pinned to the side but over all a good feel.</div>

I apologies for the scattered posts, I have been busy on a few large scale projects which haven't left a lot of time for posting! BUT, I did notice today a great piece of information.<br />
<br />

Lync, Exchange, SharePoint and Office 2013 RTM products are now available via TechNet, MSDN and Partner downloads. So as I mentioned in an earlier post regarding the new MCSE certifications for the new wave of products, this shows we are very close to world wide offering of Lync Server 2013 and its related certifications.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, I have finished building my new lab as my old one died a few months back. I will be getting back on track with some exciting posts on Lync Server 2013. Including Edge configurations, persistent chat, and Hybrid Voice configurations with Office 365!<br />

<br />
The new Lync 2013, Exchange 2013 and SharePoint 2013 exams have been posted on the Learning site.<br />
<br />
The new exams will require you to be a MCSA: Windows Server 2012 by either taking exam 70-410, 70-411 and 70-412. or if you have an upgradeable MCITP you can take the 70-417, you can read more about the MCSA upgrade <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-windows-server-MCSA.aspx" target="_blank">here.</a><br />

<br />
Lync Server 2013 exams 70-336 and 70-337 are currently in development, and expected to be published November 06, 2012!!<br />

<br />
<br />
So it looks like us Lync Pros will get a taste of the new certifications in November!! I have been waiting for them to publish this information, and I personally will be writing the 2 Lync Server 2013 exams very close after the November 06 release! but from now to then need to upgrade to my MCSA: Server 2012 by writing my 70-417!<br />
<br />
<br />
Good luck to everyone writing exams, and the dedication to the Microsoft ecosystem. Microsoft does throw us hurdles to jump over but that's what makes our jobs much more interesting!<br />

I noticed while browsing at the certifications for Lync and Exchange, on the 70-341 and 70-342 they specify a "around" release date on the Overview page. As noted on the learning page "<em>The beta of this exam (71-341) is testing on Microsoft Exchange 2013 Customer
Preview. The live exam testing Exchange 2013 RTM will be released around January
15, 2013</em>."<br />
<br />
The Lync exams don't specify anything like this, but would be safe to assume Lync is on a similar path.<br />

So I had to move it to my computer for the time being but with 16GB ram trying to run 7-12 servers is a challenge. But this post is regarding a real world issue I was in front of and hope it will resolve another issue out there.<br />
<br />
I have seen dozens of Exchange 2010 deployments using wildcard certificates to publish OWA. Which works great, unless your trying to integrate Lync and your wildcard OWA!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmI-TEInnnJXD4xPBFFOEIJ0NszdE-Rb2y_wYACSGDQ3tpk3gaGC-AcbkC_ewTj8AGxHlpzYsfb1nW72z8mOMhLalGRNYnUmHYvOgFepwgOT-rFa2MmzH2br5xl0i9F7R7dxuPZGW3g-c/s1600/100.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmI-TEInnnJXD4xPBFFOEIJ0NszdE-Rb2y_wYACSGDQ3tpk3gaGC-AcbkC_ewTj8AGxHlpzYsfb1nW72z8mOMhLalGRNYnUmHYvOgFepwgOT-rFa2MmzH2br5xl0i9F7R7dxuPZGW3g-c/s320/100.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The process of getting around this is pretty straight forward, but is not at straight forward coming up with the solution.<br />
<br />
When configuring your OWA virtual directory for Instant Messaging you need to assign the certificate thumbprint you will be using<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaAqaetshRfpT5e-Wjp2gQ4KBiKPmGfO6FA8cp-dTZuIxVCW308PH1eB8QB4Z502aKCeWVXM59B8cTdHLuqdeHEGk0dVzAB_ydvVy_vTOQ9JThVZu6ocIwinLR2y27_r_3insDGoVydLQ/s1600/101.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="61" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaAqaetshRfpT5e-Wjp2gQ4KBiKPmGfO6FA8cp-dTZuIxVCW308PH1eB8QB4Z502aKCeWVXM59B8cTdHLuqdeHEGk0dVzAB_ydvVy_vTOQ9JThVZu6ocIwinLR2y27_r_3insDGoVydLQ/s320/101.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The problem is if you use the wildcard certificate you will not able to sign in to IM in OWA. you will see " <em>Instant Messaging isn't available right now. The Contact List will appear when the service becomes available</em>".<br />
<br />
To resolve this we need to request another certificate from our Internal Certificate Authority to use strictly for this integration.<br />
<br />
Go to MMC -> Add/Remove Snap-in and select Certificate. Select Computer. Navigate to Certificates -> Personal, right click Personal -> All Tasks and "Request New Certificate..."<br />

If you do not have the "Web Server" template available. You need to add your exchange server to the certificate template as Allowed to Enroll under the Security tab.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next specify the Trusted Application FQDN of the exchange server you used in your Lync Topology<br />
Also you can add additional SAN names if your users use different FQDN to access OWA (internal and external)<br />

As Microsoft releases its Preview of SharePoint, Lync and Exchange alot of things have changed. One that I am writing about is the new Web Apps Server. This is now a required component for browser-based file viewing and editing functionality for Office files. Here is a quick highlight of the Web Apps.<br />
<br />
<b>SharePoint 2013 Preview </b>Users can access Office files from SharePoint document libraries by using Word Web App Preview, Excel Web App Preview, PowerPoint Web App Preview, and OneNote Web App Preview. <br />
<br />
<b>Lync Server 2013 Preview</b> Users can broadcast PowerPoint presentations by using Lync 2013 Preview and Lync Web App. Broadcasting is enhanced to support higher-resolution displays and a wider range of mobile devices than in earlier versions. Users who have the appropriate privileges can scroll through a PowerPoint presentation independent of the presentation itself. <br />
<br />
<b>Exchange Server 2013 Preview</b> Users of Outlook Web App can preview Office file attachments by using Word Web App Preview, Excel Web App Preview, and PowerPoint Web App Preview. These previews provide rich, full-fidelity viewing of Office files and any comments within them, without the need to download the files before viewing them. <br />
<br />
For prerequists the Web App Server must be running Server 2008 R2 SP1 or Server 2012. Cannot be installed on any other server running Lync, Exchange or SharePoint. and must not have any version of Office installed.<br />
For my guide I will be using Server 2012. <br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="color: white;">This guide will come into use in </span><a href="http://lyncme.blogspot.ca/2012/07/lync-server-2013-preview-step-by-step_17.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: white;">Part 2 of my Lync Server 2013 Preview Guide</span></a><span style="color: white;"> as its required for the front-end configuration</span>.</span></em> <br />
<br />
So to start off I have a Virtual Machine running Server 2012. Web Apps is fully supported in a virtual enviroment but <strong>ONLY</strong> if its running <strong><span style="color: red;">Hyper-V</span></strong>. <br />
<br />
To prepare a server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 install the following software:<br />
<br />
Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 and all required updates <br />
.NET Framework 4.5 RC <br />
Windows PowerShell 3.0 <br />
For Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 run the follwing powershell script to install the requires roles and features <br />
PS C:\> <span style="color: white;">Import-Module ServerManager </span><br />
PS C:\> <span style="color: white;">Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server,Web-WebServer,Web-Common-Http,Web-Static-Content,Web-App-Dev,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Net-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Includes,Web-Security,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-Filtering,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Dyn-Compression,Web-Mgmt-Console,Ink-Handwriting,IH-Ink-Support </span><br />
<br />
Also you will need to install hotfix <strong>KB2592525</strong> which resolves a DirectWrite issue. The KB hotfix can be downloaded from <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2592525?wa=wsignin1.0" target="_blank">this link</a>.<br />
<br />
For Server 2012 run this set of powershell scripts for required roles and features. <br />
PS C:\> <span style="color: white;">Import-Module ServerManager </span><br />
PS C:\> <span style="color: white;">Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server,Web-Mgmt-Tools,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-WebServer,Web-Common-Http,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Static-Content,Web-Performance,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Dyn-Compression,Web-Security,Web-Filtering,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-App-Dev,Web-Net-Ext45,Web-Asp-Net45,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Includes,InkandHandwritingServices </span><br />
<br />
After roles/features are installed you will be prompted to reboot your server.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhik37Ypt5GuUJl67RorKwSTThyphenhypheni8GhUuzkBEzX3EkgjdB-_JJldzRv_KjdRow6EMPSdJ6blKnKCGXDn3V0Oz-ECRVEvFOEAgMtm6LidF539g66UPkgzfk-xHPzwL54dHwWyKGQHWpWNVo/s1600/30.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="92" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhik37Ypt5GuUJl67RorKwSTThyphenhypheni8GhUuzkBEzX3EkgjdB-_JJldzRv_KjdRow6EMPSdJ6blKnKCGXDn3V0Oz-ECRVEvFOEAgMtm6LidF539g66UPkgzfk-xHPzwL54dHwWyKGQHWpWNVo/s400/30.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Next step is to download the Web App Bits found <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=256561">here</a><br />
<br />
So with our Server roles and features installed, server rebooted and the Web App package downloaded, time for installation.<br />
<br />
Mount/Extract the img file and double click on Setup.exe<br />

Now your Office Web Apps Server is ready for Exchange 2013 or Lync 2013.Tim Day - MCP, MCITP, MCSE, FCNSAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15981859744273688876noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105431236986649233.post-87156768132080519262012-08-06T12:08:00.002-04:002012-08-06T12:10:04.467-04:00Lync Server 2013 Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) FederationThis is an anticipated feature of Lync, I have read dozens of blogs about about configuring Lync Server 2010 for use with a OCS XMPP Gateway or a 3rd party gateway, but for a lot of professionals out there this is an unwanted daunting task. Now with Lync Server 2013 Preview the XMPP function is built right in.<br />
<br />
The XMPP functionality is delivered in two parts: an XMPP proxy that runs on the Edge Server and the XMPP gateway that runs on the Front End Servers. <br />
<br />
Below are the additional Firewall and DNS requirements for the XMPP service.<br />

Whats Next?A lot of my free time over the last few days has been preparing Lync 2013 and finding out all the new and addon features that come with it. But as most things with Microsoft server products more things can be done via PowerShell then in the GUI. So I'm going to take some time to go through a lot of the new PowerShell commands, some might not be new commands but with additions to the command itself.<br />
<br />
Lets start with Mobility. This was a huge leap for Lync 2010 back last December. One of the biggest concerns in my conversations was the push notification and cellular calling. Lync 2013 has raised the bar on these issues, which brings me to my first PowerShell command <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">PS C:\> Get-CsMobilityPolicy</span><br />
<br />
This command is available in Lync 2010, but with limited function. it turns mobility on or off and enables outside voice via call work. Now with Lync 2013 we get some added functionality to the command<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Now we get the options of enabling IP Audio/Video and the Require WIFI for Audio/Video.<br />
It has been mentioned that now you can use your cellular carrier to make and receive audio/video calls with Lync 2013. Which is a huge step in the right direction.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next command I would like to highlight is <br />
<br />

When configuring FIPS to RequireFIPSCompliantMedia Lync Server 2013 Preview will only allow media sessions with entities that use FIPS compliant algorithms for authentication and authorization. In order to use this function all Edge Servers must be upgraded to Lync Server 2013, as this is not supported by Lync Server 2010.<br />

In this command we get a few extra goodies. We are now able to enable G722 Stereo Codec and enable H264 Codec. Also the ability to Enable Adaptive Bandwidth Estimation, Microsoft Lync Server will select the bandwidth rate at which to play a video stream. This selection will be based on such factors as the network congestion and the client's quality of the client's current network connection.<br />

The meeting configuration has also been modified but only in the look of the meeting url itself (meet.domain.com). Microsoft is now allowing us to make visual changes to the page. Adding a company logo, legal and help URLS to redirect our users to custom pages. Which is a request I personally asked our PAM and contacts as MS. I wasn’t the only one obviously, but a nice addition.<br />

<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">For this command we get some new additions like, RTP Latching, Online Voice, Forward Call History, 3pcc Refer, Forward PAI and Fast Failover Timer. </span><br />
<br />
<strong>RTP Latching</strong>: RTP latching is a technology that enables RTP/RTCP connectivity through a NAT (network address translator) device or firewall.<br />
<br />
<strong>Online Voice</strong>: With online voice, users have an on-premises Lync Server account but have their voicemail hosted by Office 365. <br />
<br />
<strong>Forward Call History</strong>: Indicates whether call history information will be forwarded through the trunk. <br />
<br />
<strong>3pcc Refer</strong>: Indicates whether the 3pcc protocol can be used to allow transferred calls to bypass the hosted site. 3pcc is also known as "third party control," and occurs when a third-party is used to connect a pair of callers (for example, an operator placing a call from person A to person B). The REFER method is a standard SIP method which indicates that the recipient should contact a third-party by using information supplied by the sender.<br />
<br />
<strong>Forward PAI</strong>: Indicates whether the P-Asserted-Identity (PAI) header will be forwarded along with the call. The PAI header provides a way to verify the identity of the caller.<br />

<br />
Also in the Voice Policy we get some additional functions like Call Forwarding Simultaneous Ring Usage, Voice Deployment Mode, Voicemail Escape Timer.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><strong>Call Forwarding Simultaneous Ring Usage</strong></span>: Provides a way for administrators to manage call forwarding and simultaneous ringing. Allowed values are:<br />
<br />
<strong><em>VoicePolicyUsage</em></strong> – The default voice policy usage is used to manage call forwarding and simultaneous ringing on all calls. This is the default value.<br />
<strong><em>InternalOnly</em></strong> – Call forwarding and simultaneous ringing are limited to calls made from one Lync user to another.<br />
<strong><em>CustomUsage</em></strong>. A custom PSTN usage will be used to manage call forwarding and simultaneous ringing. This usage must be specified using the CustomCallForwardingSimulRingUsages parameter.<br />
<br />
<strong>Voice Deployment Mode:</strong> Options are, OnPrem, Online, OnlineBasic, OnlineHybrid<br />
<br />
<strong>Voicemail Escape Timer: </strong>Here is another feature myself and other Lync Pro's have been hounding Microsoft about. When set to True, calls to an unanswered mobile device will be routed to the organization voicemail instead of the mobile device provider's voicemail. Thank you Microsoft! This is a fantastic option for afterhours people.<br />

<br />
<strong>MakeHtmlLyncWebAppPrimaryMeetingClient: </strong>When set to True, the Join Launcher will automatically start the Lync Web Access whenever a user joins an online meeting. <br />
<br />
<strong>AutoLaunchLyncWebAccess</strong><em>:</em> When set to True Lync Web App will automatically be used as the default Web popup for joining an online conference, provided that the prerequisites for using Lync Web Access (for example, Silverlight has been installed, and Internet Explorer is not blocking pop-up windows) have been met.<br />
<br />
<strong>ShowAlternateJoinOptionsExpanded</strong><em>:</em> When set to True then alternate options for joining an online conference (such as Office Communicator 2007 R2) will automatically be expanded and shown to users. When set to False (the default value) these options will be available, but the user will have to display the list of options for themselves.<br />
<br />
<strong>UseWsFedPassiveAuth</strong>: When set to True, allows for passive authentication: authentication of users by using URL redirection or smart linking.<br />

<br />
<strong>ConnectionLimit</strong><em>: </em>Total number of simultaneous connections allowed for all XMPP partners<br />
<br />
<strong>DialbackPassphrase</strong><em>: </em>Password used when connecting to an XMPP partner over a TCP dial back connection. With TCP dial back, the partner contacts the XMPP gateway and then hangs up. The XMPP gateway calls the partner back, and the communication session can then begin.<br />
<br />
<strong>EnableLoggingAllMessageBodies</strong><em>:</em> When set to True, Lync Server 2013 Preview will log the actual content of all instant messages. For privacy reasons, message content is typically deleted and only information about the communicating endpoints is included in the log files.<br />
<br />
<strong>KeepAliveInterval</strong><em>: </em>Maximum amount of time (in seconds) that can elapse before the partner must send a "keep alive" message. (A keep alive message simply verifies that the connection is still active.) If the time interval expires before a keep alive message is received, the connection will be closed<br />
<br />
<strong>PartnerConnectionLimit</strong><em>:</em> Total number of simultaneous connections allowed for a single XMPP partner.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well thats it for now, alot of new additions found going through the PowerShell commands. Alot of exciting features for me like the Mobility and and Voicemail Excape Timer.<br />

Thanks for reading.. and happy Lyncing!Tim Day - MCP, MCITP, MCSE, FCNSAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15981859744273688876noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105431236986649233.post-31717847046570288392012-07-17T20:05:00.003-04:002012-07-19T10:09:42.194-04:00Lync Server 2013 Preview Step-by-Step Guide Part 2In part one which can be found <a href="http://lyncme.blogspot.ca/2012/07/lync-server-2013-preview-step-by-step.html">here</a>, I mentioned all the prerequisites for Lync Server 2013 Preview including Windows Identity Foundation. In Part 2 we will go through creating DNS Records, publishing the Topology and getting the client working with IM and the meet/dialin URLS published. <br />
<br />
Before I continue with creating my new Topology, I need to configure my DNS!<br />
<br />
My DNS will look like this<br />
<br />
<strong>A Records</strong><br />
meet/dialin.myprotech.net - 192.168.100.21<br />
lyncme.myprotech.net - 192.168.100.21<br />
lyncme.protech.local - 192.168.100.21<br />
lyncdiscoverinternal.myprotech.net - 192.168.100.21<br />
<br />
<strong>SRV Record</strong><br />
_sipinternaltls._tcp.myprotech.net -> lyncme.protech.local<br />
After selecting New Topology enter your Primary SIP Domain. This will be the domain used for all your Lync clients. I try and always use their email domain. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUSEjXyTEJmeT_XK8f-aNLpB-dp4Y72xKVW5FnVCrooLlWsOQQ1jVseNnKmOP75liQZbAV-3_HN9bDs8DlMK8LMphjIuNpuBYjvTbPmjOxxGqceYrG-BhQZsiSj7Hn-obmw0PgI3Bh3cw/s1600/10.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUSEjXyTEJmeT_XK8f-aNLpB-dp4Y72xKVW5FnVCrooLlWsOQQ1jVseNnKmOP75liQZbAV-3_HN9bDs8DlMK8LMphjIuNpuBYjvTbPmjOxxGqceYrG-BhQZsiSj7Hn-obmw0PgI3Bh3cw/s400/10.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
On the next screen is where you can add additional SIP domains, but since this is a lab environment I will be sticking with 1 SIP domain. <br />
Enter your Site Name details <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8-LpO3jQOpPZRZAbAWOLqJUbPepRc7opREod6T6LM2pZJ4SDRzVAMg8gf_v6i7xCfbVPGhFEKp3P9v0PixvZaJ_mcswxI5NL-TQVaB8Ot5-nYmzM4-qCGb9czd0vJzyUSIEXMkXSag5I/s1600/11.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8-LpO3jQOpPZRZAbAWOLqJUbPepRc7opREod6T6LM2pZJ4SDRzVAMg8gf_v6i7xCfbVPGhFEKp3P9v0PixvZaJ_mcswxI5NL-TQVaB8Ot5-nYmzM4-qCGb9czd0vJzyUSIEXMkXSag5I/s400/11.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Next is to specify your site details. City, State/Provice and Country/Region Code. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOiXRqBBffA4qnlK74MeUg_pkWgUqjwYisvd0yeMUxN2VKCf4IyUGorvXygQP8uzeFrBa_uyZD0NlO8Aos2IopW4nWPxlGhkvSDeD1i2mrFQDB88Ckngi3jpVodAuMyU9E3SbjfTao0Ys/s1600/12.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOiXRqBBffA4qnlK74MeUg_pkWgUqjwYisvd0yeMUxN2VKCf4IyUGorvXygQP8uzeFrBa_uyZD0NlO8Aos2IopW4nWPxlGhkvSDeD1i2mrFQDB88Ckngi3jpVodAuMyU9E3SbjfTao0Ys/s400/12.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And then click finish to Open the New Front End Wizard. <br />
For my Front-End Pool I will only be creating a Standard Edition Pool. And need to enter my FQDN of that server. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the next screen you will have the options of selecting the features of your front-end pool. In this guide I will be configuring Conferencing, Enterprise Voice.<br />
<b>***NOTE*** A new feature to Lync Server 2013 Preview and the ability to enable Exchange Server intergration into the Archiving feature. </b><br />

I am going to Collocate my Mediation Server on the Standard Edition Pool <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The next screen is asking to associate an Edge pool. For now I won’t be adding an Edge to this Topology. But in another guide I will be adding an Edge to configure external user access, Federation and Voicemail to Office 365. So for now I will leave this screen unchecked and continue. <br />
For a Standard Edition we do not specify a SQL Server store, it is installed automatically which you will see later on in this guide. So we simply click Next. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgesjCWM5k9JczrAc-mkdxrvftR58hpqmc-EBlKUvhMbpCXahO5X8cILFtOooHA1XJeNl8VR_Gy5ZIXx3mjsA3y4kMY5VMQna6tltP9YKhxJ6Fr0OCiiw4jwoD5bnXvJXu5Bo-KdfHoc6Q/s1600/16.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgesjCWM5k9JczrAc-mkdxrvftR58hpqmc-EBlKUvhMbpCXahO5X8cILFtOooHA1XJeNl8VR_Gy5ZIXx3mjsA3y4kMY5VMQna6tltP9YKhxJ6Fr0OCiiw4jwoD5bnXvJXu5Bo-KdfHoc6Q/s400/16.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The next window is asking us to define a new file share. On a Standard Edition the share can reside on the Standard Edition Server. On an Enterprise Edition Pool the Share cannot be on any of the front end servers. <br />
So I create a new folder and share it out with the name "share" and give full access to the Everyone Group, as the Lync install will configure the correct permissions afterwards. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You will now be taken out of the wizard and into your Topology. For Lync Pro's this is something you have noticed before but now with a twist. You can now see your existing Lync 2010 and 2013 Topology's. Also any shared Components like SQL stores and PSTN gateways.<br />

As you can see from the screen shot above the Certificate Wizard looks a little different from Lync Server 2010 Certificate Wizard. Now we have an option/certificate for OAuthTokenIssuer. OAuth (Open Authorization) is protocol for server-to-server authentication and authorization. If you would like to know more about OAuth you can read it <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204817%28v=ocs.15%29" target="_blank">here</a>. I'm just not going to go into to much detail in this post.<br />
<br />
For simplicity sake I’m going to request my 3 certificates from my internal Certificate Authority. In real world you would purchase a 3rd party certificate for your web services external.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Enter in all your information, Company, City, Region etc... You will get to the SAN Names list which since I’m bundling all my certificates into 1 has my mobility (lyncdiscover), my dialin/meet urls etc...<br />
<br />

<br />

Then request your OAuth Certificate, which is the same process. But notice it only uses the SIP domain for the Common Name (CN).<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhskSTCRhVQJF_9lYxuA53bhqMOFLIrJyF9FOR7CUtpuUyL6GklEra6BuD8mu-QQc14SuTYw7lQsBcbpog2AOWuuYjgPg4PduJaunlk5uUd63VG4EiSZj-_M1mogTcorp6MsIZqvZoF_Rc/s1600/55.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhskSTCRhVQJF_9lYxuA53bhqMOFLIrJyF9FOR7CUtpuUyL6GklEra6BuD8mu-QQc14SuTYw7lQsBcbpog2AOWuuYjgPg4PduJaunlk5uUd63VG4EiSZj-_M1mogTcorp6MsIZqvZoF_Rc/s320/55.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Once you have requested and assigned all your certificates you will be taken back to the Certificate Wizard. Notice the "Location Field. The Default Certificates say Local, the OAuth Certificate says Global. the OAuth certificate when it was published to Lync was also published to the CMS... I’ll go into the OAuth in another post.<br />
<br />

First look at the control panel looks very similar to Lync Server 2010 Control Panel. First I noticed the Persistent Chat menu on the left. But none configured..... yet!<br />
I always check my topology to confirm started services and replication. Noticed right away we have a version column. I would assume at this point this will also show Lync Server 2010 for those servers.... an obvious assumption.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
So let’s create a user and get them signed into Lync!<br />
<br />
Adding a user just like in Lync 2010 is straight forward. But again with some added function. You know have the ability to sign additional policies to your users. These policies being Mobility and Persistent Chat. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTUbUQs0i36Db0FzbYveEjvsKpZbzDC-fLLCrKSGjftxXY-yuFx_tzlBoGDUcG5nflsYuhVLBtB40TB1B2JZUK2U293LxYn2Eu7gqNc-_kmD0nWY0751J3FdY8RCb3M7sNcODBQ-t23WE/s1600/71.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTUbUQs0i36Db0FzbYveEjvsKpZbzDC-fLLCrKSGjftxXY-yuFx_tzlBoGDUcG5nflsYuhVLBtB40TB1B2JZUK2U293LxYn2Eu7gqNc-_kmD0nWY0751J3FdY8RCb3M7sNcODBQ-t23WE/s320/71.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So now I have my user, let’s fire up Lync Server 2013 Client that was installed with Office 2013 ProPlus. If you would like to download the ProPlus version of Office 2013 Preview that comes with the new Lync client, you can get started <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/evalcenter/hh973391">here.</a><br />

<br />
The process is much similar to Lync Server 2010 with some add-ons. Prerequisites of PowerShell 3.0 and .NET 4.5 for Server 2008 R2 SP1 installations. the Topology builder got a nice upgrade, being able to see both 2010 and 2013 topology's from the same window is excellent. OAuth for server-to-server authentication, which will be something I talk about in the upcoming weeks/months. The Control Panel also has some new features like, creating Mobility and Push policies, XMPP Federated Partner feature and Persistent Chat.<br />
<br />
One addon I would like to mention is the Conferencing Meeting Configuration. Now you can configure your logo, header and footer of your meet.domain page from the control panel. <br />
<br />

Thank you for reading, I hope this was informative on both the configuration and new features of Lync and Lync Server 2013 Preview. Next I will be diving into specifics of Lync 2013 Preview features.<br />
<br />

<br />
Part 2 can be found <a href="http://lyncme.blogspot.ca/2012/07/lync-server-2013-preview-step-by-step_17.html">here</a><br />
<br />
I will be posting a lot of screen shots of the installation. Remember Microsoft <br />
didn’t reimagine Lync 2013 from 2010 like they did with OCS, so a lot of the <br />
process will be the same. When I get to new/improved features I will highlight <br />
them throughout the guide. I will be implementing the Mobility and Chat features. <br />
<br />
<br />
As I mentioned in my last post Lync Server 2013 Preview will run only on Server <br />
2008 R2 SP1 or Server 2012. For this guide I will be using Server 2012. <br />
Before we begin, some Lync Server prerequisites are needed just like in Lync Server 2010. Open PowerShell and type,<br />
<br />
For Server 2012:<br />
PS C:\> Import-Module ServerManager <br />
PS C:\> Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server, Web-Static-Content, Web-Default-Doc, Web-Scripting-Tools, Web-Windows-Auth, Web-Asp-Net, Web-Log-Libraries, Web-Http-Tracing, Web-Stat-Compression, Web-Default-Doc, Web-ISAPI-Ext, Web-ISAPI-Filter, Web-Http-Errors, Web-Http-Logging, Web-Net-Ext, Web-Client-Auth, Web-Filtering, Web-Mgmt-Console, Web-Asp-Net45, Web-Net-Ext45, Web-Dyn-Compression, Web-Mgmt-Console, Desktop-Experience<br />
<br />
For Server 2008 R2 SP1:<br />
PS C:\> Import-Module ServerManager <br />
PS C:\> Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server, Web-Static-Content, Web-Default-Doc, Web-Scripting-Tools, Web-Windows-Auth, Web-Asp-Net, Web-Log-Libraries, Web-Http-Tracing, Web-Stat-Compression, Web-Default-Doc, Web-ISAPI-Ext, Web-ISAPI-Filter, Web-Http-Errors, Web-Http-Logging, Web-Net-Ext, Web-Client-Auth, Web-Filtering, Web-Mgmt-Console, Web-Dyn-Compression, Web-Mgmt-Console, Desktop-Experience<br />
<br />
<br />
Also make note of the Software Requirements article posted <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398686(v=ocs.15)">here</a> including Windows Identity Foundation. <br />
for Server 2008 R2 SP1 you can download it from <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17331" target="_blank">here</a>. for Server 2012 you can PowerShell the install by running <br />
PS C:\> Add-WindowsFeature Windows-Identity-Foundation <br />
<br />
For Server 2008 R2 SP1, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 RC needs to be installed. You can download it from <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29909" target="_blank">here</a>. And PowerShell 3.0 can be downloaded from <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29939" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Download and extract the Lync 2013 Preview bits from <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/evalcenter/hh973393.aspx?wt.mc_id=TEC_118_1_33">here </a>and Launch setup.exe you will be <br />
prompted to install Microsoft Visual C++ 11 Beta Redistributable. If your <br />
installing Lync Server 2013 Preview on Server 2008 R2 SP1 you will also need to <br />
install .NET 4.5 which comes in the Preview download. <br />
<br />
<br />
Once .NET 4.5 and Visual C++ 11 is installed, you will be prompted to install <br />
the Lync Core Components. Also PowerShell 3.0 and Windows Installer 4.5 are <br />
required on Server 2008 R2 SP1. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Continue on to the Deployment Wizard we are all so custom to seeing from Lync Server 2010.<br />
<br />
<b><i>at this point I always like to install the Lync Administrative tools, as they need to be installed anyways and its a 3 second installation. </i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivlZcs0dwM__9j4voVVh1vpVXobTUrOfwY-ayKvUzFx5p9gIP6gG72uP986mFydmpajx6UDR4ebTEuKEAeueMEi7E07b5WWQoC8j-m3hgsmZBUIOenRckwNZS9-ym7BKrefHrA-i5E4n4/s1600/1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivlZcs0dwM__9j4voVVh1vpVXobTUrOfwY-ayKvUzFx5p9gIP6gG72uP986mFydmpajx6UDR4ebTEuKEAeueMEi7E07b5WWQoC8j-m3hgsmZBUIOenRckwNZS9-ym7BKrefHrA-i5E4n4/s400/1.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Then I will be preparing Active Directory into my new test environment. This environment has no existing Lync Server topology.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfXcM3Km09Sdtyu46UmlNv5TYAYDMYzBUiR09VVzH7_3FIqEbbnmY4a_ZFte_bX6rwB8Qo7NgM8RMYwAMMWZDOYXgQHGry1nQJK6MAodEIt89RyUKXsmZBLQOsxy7O-UrKGcQ_izGyoeU/s1600/2.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfXcM3Km09Sdtyu46UmlNv5TYAYDMYzBUiR09VVzH7_3FIqEbbnmY4a_ZFte_bX6rwB8Qo7NgM8RMYwAMMWZDOYXgQHGry1nQJK6MAodEIt89RyUKXsmZBLQOsxy7O-UrKGcQ_izGyoeU/s400/2.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Run the "Prepare Schema" <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil8hgrcr071jXAyxUgla-lm8eSYYwf5j0WMy1m5TLTywZfA36qsEgL31cKus-3n_wQK-l6XADzzV9A7ZCZW7yM81COsqIAxa_QMHccyxJFSznl621tmR96nPtnv1lSID2mddcN42ueU_Q/s1600/3.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil8hgrcr071jXAyxUgla-lm8eSYYwf5j0WMy1m5TLTywZfA36qsEgL31cKus-3n_wQK-l6XADzzV9A7ZCZW7yM81COsqIAxa_QMHccyxJFSznl621tmR96nPtnv1lSID2mddcN42ueU_Q/s400/3.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
After Success, confirm Active Directory Replication. Open ADSI Edit -> Action menu, click Connect to. In the Connection Settings dialog box select Schema. Under the schema container, search for CN=ms-RTC-SIP-SchemaVersion. For Lync Server 2010 the rangeUpper was 1100 but Lync Server 2013 Preview is 1150. And the rangeLower attribute is 3, with Lync 2010 it was 14.<br />
<br />
<br />
Continue on to "Prepare Current Forrest" <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPU0HfFEkzmVzPaM2kawXRpMMfo3q-ZRkGYganW9R3KFRJUM5ZcHmiQThlAq_ub9PG-9uoX-4eXOev8pEPpjM_T-ofsg6S1FVQPVDY2HqQJcMFXwZoWm6wLSdaQ-vmEWbZ-aV35hRCXI/s1600/4.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPU0HfFEkzmVzPaM2kawXRpMMfo3q-ZRkGYganW9R3KFRJUM5ZcHmiQThlAq_ub9PG-9uoX-4eXOev8pEPpjM_T-ofsg6S1FVQPVDY2HqQJcMFXwZoWm6wLSdaQ-vmEWbZ-aV35hRCXI/s400/4.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
To confirm Forest Replication open Active Directory Users and Computers (on a domain controller), click the Users container and look for CsAdministrators. If the group is present replication was successful. <br />
<br />
Next prepare the Current Domain, click next to confirm replication run the Lync Server 2013 Preview Management PowerShell and type <br />
Get-CsAdDomain -Domain domainname.local - GlobalSettingsDomainController dc.domainname.local. and confirm LC_DOMAIN_SETTINGS_STATE_READY output. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZC-1AtxTQDgg9UykzAHcQiYbNlkzISiT3Z8-G42w5H4NOMPlKzuP-Q6uWSYwxQFm__Q6Bw6XsTbdXTT1Xxu4fFpx4RkLOGp5W0n-9CuMxudF8_vJThIYS8wo9Cd2F2GygZFnWi6MJXVM/s1600/5.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZC-1AtxTQDgg9UykzAHcQiYbNlkzISiT3Z8-G42w5H4NOMPlKzuP-Q6uWSYwxQFm__Q6Bw6XsTbdXTT1Xxu4fFpx4RkLOGp5W0n-9CuMxudF8_vJThIYS8wo9Cd2F2GygZFnWi6MJXVM/s400/5.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Before continuing with the installation, I needed to add my user to the CsAdministrators group and log off and back on for the new added group permissions to take effect. <br />
<br />
After logging back in as the same user you added to the CsAdministrators group re-launch the Deployment Wizard, and "Prepare first Standard Edition Server" (As in this guide I will only be deploying a Standard Edition environment). Click next and wait for the Bootstrap and SQL Installation. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
*NOTE The setup creates the firewall rule exception for the SQL Browser. <br />
Once that has completed successfully now its time to open our Topology Builder. This is where the differences between Lync 2010 and 2013 will start to show. Creating a New Topology. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I want to take a minute away from this guide to show one of the first "update" additions to Lync 2013 Preview, the Topology Builder. <br />
<br />
When upgrading from OCS to Lync 2010 you would need to select to migrate from a OCS 2007/R2 Deployment. Now with the new Lync 2013 Preview Topology Builder, it shows both topologies any existing Lync 2010 and the new Lync 2013. I would find this most helpful migrating people from Lync 2010 to 2013. To be able to compare your 2 environments from one easy to read screen. Below is a showing of our corporate topology hence why I cut the fqdn names out. :) <br />

When Lync 2013 goes GA and I have the chance to do a migration I will post an article with this more in detail. <br />
