I’m in the process of installing my Lync Server and this error has plowed me was to implement the Microsoft website and carry out the process for this error and continuing even I can do.
Post topology

An error occurred: Can not open database Microsoft.Rtc.Common.Data.SqlConnectionException XDS Requested by the login. The login failed. CONTOSO Login failed for user \ administrator.

Just curious why you did do CNAMEs/DNS Aliases for dialin, meet, admin, etc ?

Nice video for sure! What do you use to record your TrainSignal Videos?

Excellent video, thanks!

It’s great to have someone walk you through how to install Lync on one server.
Are you going to do a follow up video that covers voice setup?

Chris

Thank you for the Excellent video. I am following your instrucitions but when I go start the Lync Server Front-End service I get the following error:

The Lync Server Front-End service terminated with service-specific error %%-1006862955.

Any insight on what could be causing this? Thanks for your time and keep up the good work.

Whenever I tried to request a certificate like how you show in your video it gives me a permissions error even though I do have permissions and I ensured all traffic from the host to my CA was not being blocked.

Since I had a hard time requesting a certificate from my CA, I exported a certificate directly from my CA and installed it in to the server with Lync installed using IIS manager 6.0. From there I was able to assign this certificate to the Lync services like you showed in your video.

I am able to access the http://servername.fqdn.loocal/certsrv from my lync server. I have double checked all the permissions and my is a domain admin account. I also made sure my account was apart of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group. Whenever I try to request a certificate through the link wizard it gives me an error. This is the error I am running across when looking at the logs:

Error: An error occurred: “Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Deployment.DeploymentException” “Cannot connect to geoweb.geotechenv.com. Verify that you can connect to the server, have the appropriate permissions, and that you logged on with the correct credentials.”

Hi Adam,

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I’d like a subsequent video topic of deploying an edge server for Lync step by step with the correct IP setup, external DNS entries and options for public IM connectivity.

I’m sure the community would benefit from this also.

Thanks

I created a new test account to be sure. I have added all the permissions that I can find that would pertain to certificate requests. None of them seem to make any difference. I am getting the same error message as above. I have made sure that the firewall between the two servers is completely turned off and there should be no connectivity issues. I understand that now this problem is most likely unique to my environment but if you have any other suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

CA
Operating System: Windows 2003 R2 Service Pack 2
Firewall: Microsoft ISA server 2004

Lync Server
Operating System: Windows 2008 R2 x64

DC
Operating System: Windows 2008 R2 x64

All traffic is run through the CA server which acts as a proxy as well. I am not entirely sure what is causing the permissions issue when requesting a certificate. I have ensured that the user account that I was using to request the certificate is a local admin on both boxes and had all the domain privileges necessary.

Great video!
How can I download this video?

great stuff

Hello where is the video? I can’t see it.

For:

ServerManagerCmd.exe -Install Web-Server Web-Http-Redirect Web-Scripting-Tools Web-Windows-Auth Web-Client-Auth Web-Asp-Net Web-Log-Libraries Web-Http-Tracing Web-Basic-Auth

Might want to use PS way instead…? This one works, but pulls the silly “ServerManagerCmd not gonna be supported much longer” error…

You know, may seem odd, but I think the servermanagercmd.exe way actually works better than the ps way, just did two side by side installs, real simple, 2 servers each, dc/dns/cs and a lync, (gonna add an edge later…), one used the ps script, one used the servermanagercmd.exe, the one with ps script failed to publish topology, the one servermanagercmd.exe worked fine… odd… will add more later… Tx (same result I did on another side by side previously…)

In your video, I think you use the dism /online xxx for the media components ?? after install “run” step 2, but I do not see the syntax on this page, if anyone needs it, for 2008 R2 SP1…

%systemroot%\system32\dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:%windir%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Media-Format-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514.mum /ignorecheck

(quick note to peeps, to make sure all your PS and ServerManagerCmd and Dism syntax gets pasted in right, maybe open notepad and paste it in and get rid of word wrap and make sure it is all one string with no line breaks…)

For Windows Server 2008: (not R2 !!!)

%systemroot%\system32\pkgmgr.exe /quiet /ip /m:%windir%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Media-Format-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000.mum

For Windows Server 2008 R2 (R2 yes, but -NOT- with SP1)

%systemroot%\system32\dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:%windir%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Media-Format-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385.mum /ignorecheck

Is there somewhere at MS that I can’t seem to find that has the “Lync Client” for Mac…? The Communicator Client…???

great job!

I am having issues with the install:

Yes, Here is the quick summary
Roles: DNS Server, Active Directory Domain Services, Hyper-V, Web Server (IIS)

Features: Group Policy Management, Remote Server Administration Tools, Windows Process Activation Service, .NET Framework 3.5.1 Features

Remote Desktop: Enabled

Firewall: Domain: Off

Yep…..Created a VM, installed Server 2008, followed your guide and got everything installed and working! I had a issue with Group Chat though. Installed fine but when I try to connect via the Group Chat client or the Group Chat Admin tool I get the following error:
“Cannot signin because Group Chat cannot connect to the Microsoft Lync Server”

Also, know any good guides for turning up Enterprise Voice? I want to replace the 3CX PBX we currently use with Lync. The good thing I am not needing to connect to the outside world/PSTN – only a internal secure network.

I beleive a SIP trunk. Need the ability for a SIP app (3CX/Bria) on a iPhone connect to something to handle the SIP call (through a VPN tunnel – everything done in a closed secure network). No need to get out to a PBX on the internet. Looking for Lync to replace the current 3CX phone system private PBX.

Not sure if anybody can help me with this. When Lync does the SQL Express install the sql server is installing with just the server name not the FQDN of the server which then prevents everything else from installing with the FQDN. If anybody has any idea as to what might be causing this it would be greatly appreciated. Also this is a fresh install of Windows 2008 R2.

Thank
-John

that wasa wonderful demonstration on microsoft Lync 2010

thanks

This is a great video. Thank You

Great video Adam, I’m planning to install a Lync server in our very small business, 10 domain users but I think that it would be a very valuable addition. Your video has given me the courage to go ahead because I must admit that I was a bit concerned with my own capabilities.

We are running Microsoft SBS 2008 and my plan is to add the Lync (a separate server running Microsoft Server 2008 R2) to the SBS domain. As far as I can tell this shouldn’t be a problem, do you agree?

Allan

Thanks for the links (no pun intended) Adam, I have read them and taken them onboard, in fact I’ve read just about every article on Lync over the past few weeks 🙂

I’m pretty certain that I will go ahead with the Lync installation because 1) I have the software already and 2) We need it, or, rather we could definitely use it, making do with skype and Sharepoint at the moment but as it says on the can, I could do with something that’s Lynked into to the software (Office Pro 2010) we are already using.

I do have one burning question Adam 🙂

We are using SBS 2008 as I mentioned and all my users have access to RWW, this is how they access their email and the Sharepoint website when not connected to the domain.

I want to be able to video conference, chat and share / edit Office documents in the same way. In other words, when they are not connected to the domain, I at least want to be able to video conference with them when they are in the field / on site etc.

Can I do this without an edge server?

Thanks Adam, I appreciate your time, I’m hoping to get back to you with a success story but it will be a while before I get onto installing Lync. I’ve got a few outstanding tasks with my SBS server to do first and money (as always) will be the deciding factor but hopefully my compelling argument for installing Lync will prevail…

Thanks – after scorching my failed install this worked great! now only to figure out how to set up external access…
