In my previous blog post I explained how to install the first Front-End server in a Front-End pool. To extend the functionality we are now going to install a Lync 2013 Edge server. Using the Edge server users can logon to the Lync environment externally, and you can setup a federation with other companies to communicate with users in these companies as well.

Deploying Lync Server 2013
In a earlier blog post I explained the basics of Lync Server 2010 and how to install Lync Server 2010, including a Lync Edge Server and a reverse proxy to publish the accompanying web services.
Microsoft has recently released Lync Server 2013 so it’s time to have a closer look at installing this version. Like the previous articles this article explains how to install a green field environment so there’s no ‘old’ version installed. In the previous blogs I have been working with Lync Server 2010 Standard edition, this blog is based on the Enterprise Edition of Lync Server 2013. There are multiple differences between Standard and Enterprise: Continue reading Deploying Lync Server 2013
Lync Phone Support and PIN login
When using a Lync server infrastructure it is possible to use Lync Phones without connecting them to a PC using the USB cable. Devices like the Polycom CX500, CX3000, Snom UC600 or Aastra 6725ip are just a few examples. Since these clients are not connected to the PC they have to get their configuration information somewhere else.
This information is retrieved by the clients using DHCP. In DHCP the following options are used:
- 001 UCIdentifier;
- 002 URLScheme;
- 003 WebServerFqdn;
- 004 WebServerPort;
- 005 CertProvRelPath;
- 120 UCSipServer;
- 042 NTP Server (Optional);
While it is possible to configure these options manually there’s a tool in Lync that will retrieve the appropriate information and configure DHCP for you!
Insufficient access rights to perform the operation
For testing purposes I wanted to Lync Enable the (default) administrator account in Active Directory using the Lync Control Panel. This failed with the following error:
Active Directory operation failed on “wes-dc02.wesselius.local”. You cannot retry this operation: “Insufficient access rights to perform the operation 00002098: SecErr: DSID-03150BB9, problem 4005 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0”. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation in Active Directory.
