Lync 2013 Apache Reverse Proxy issues

Posted on by Gonzalo Escarrá

If you are using Apache as the reverse proxy for Lync, you may experience some issues when signing in using the mobile app (I only tested iOS). Things to look for are:

  • 50/50 chance in sign-ins (first fails, second works, as shown below)
  • Calls (audio or video) fail to establish
  • Signing out of the application produces an error as shown below

To resolve, look for the DefaultType directive in your httpd.conf. If it’s set to text/plain, change it to None and reload Apache config. The line should read:

DefaultType None

Replicating all Domain Controllers

Posted on by Gonzalo Escarrá

Instead of hunting down Domain Controllers in ADSS and replicating each manually after some last-minute changes, you can run the following repadmin command to run a sync against all the connections:

repadmin /syncall /APed

The /APed stands for All-partitions, Push, Enterprise-cross-sites and Distinguished names.

This will replicate all domain controllers simultaneously.
