Want to move a file store from one server to another? Here's how to do it!
Right from Microsoft: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg195742.aspx
Today, I ran across the issue of some Lync clients not being able to connect up to our Lync 2010 server. They were receiving the following error:
Sign in to Microsoft Lync failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the internet.
Turned out this was caused by having an invalid SSL certificate. The reason the certificate was invalid was this particular Mac was not apart of the domain and therefore the root CA's certificate was not trusted. Simply importing the root certificate into the keychain logged the user right in.
If you receive this error:
The Lync 2010 client or the Office Communicator client does not download the corporate address book and displays a notification: "Cannot Synchronize Address Book"
Give the following a shot:
I found the solution here: http://blog.insidelync.com/2012/02/lync-address-book-client-synchronization-errors-and-common-problems/ Give it a read, it's very thorough.
If you receive this error inside of the Lync Server event log on your Front End server:
User authentication with NTLM protocol failed with error SEC_E_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION. This indicates a potential mismatch between security policy settings on the client and server computers.
Cause: This error can occur if the settings in "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients" policy on the client computer are not the same as the settings in the "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers" policy on this server. By default, the "Require 128-bit encryption" setting is disabled for computers running Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows XP. For computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, this setting enabled by default.
Resolution:
Ensure that the "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients" policy settings on the computers from which users log on are the same as "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers" policy settings on this server.
Here is the fix:
1. Open up Group Policy Editor (Start->Run->gpedit.msc) (Or if you are on a domain, open up group policy editor on the domain controller)
2. Expand Local Policies under Computer Configuration
3. Select Security Options
4. Scroll Down and find the following policies:
5. Change both policies to have "Require 128-bit encryption" checked
Reboot the machine(s)
If you are getting an error like:
Error: Script failed (code "ERROR_NEED_MAJOR_UPGRADE_USE_IMP_EXP") when installing "CentralMgmtStore" on ...
When installing Lync 2010, try dropping the "xds" table from your database and letting it cleanly install:
C:\>sqlcmd -S.\RTC
1> DROP DATABASE xds
2> GO
1> QUIT
