Access Edge service failed to start: Transport TLS has failed to start on local IP address

When we get the below errors in the event viewer on the edge service: A configured transport has failed to start. Transport TLS has failed to start on local IP address 10.x.x.x at port 5061. Cause: Configuration error, low system resources or another program is using the specified port. Can also happen if the IP address has become invalid. Resolution: Ensure that the IP address specified is valid and that no other program is listening on the specified port. Unable to bind for socket. Transport:TLS, IP address: 10.x.x.x, Port:5061. Error:0x80072741 (The requested address is not valid in its context.). Resolution: Ensure that no other program is listening to the specified port and that the IP address is valid. Then most probably the error can be that your IP address got changed and the topology builder is still using the old IP address. This can happen when you are using DHCP instead of static assigning. Resolution: Change the IP in the topology using the topology build...

When we are about to publish topology, if MMC crashes then the probable reason  might be wrong AD preparation. For this first of all remove the configuration store  location and then publish the topology after selecting thee correct CMS     Remove-CsConfigurationStoreLocation

Interview questions

1) What are constraints? These are used to constraint(limit) the data that can go into SQL tables There are generally six types of constraints in SQL: NOT NULL Constraint - Check Constraint - Default Constarint - Primary Key Constraint - Unique Key Constraint - Foreign Key Constraint - 2) What are ACID properties? ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability. Database professionals when evaluating the database, looks at these features of database. Atomicity: Each transaction is said to be atomic. If one part of the transaction fails, entire transaction should fail. Its all or none rule. Consistency: Only valid data should be written into database. If a transaction is executed that violates the Database consistency rules then entire transaction should be rolled back. Database should not leave your transaction in half finished state. Isolation: Database should isolate two concurrent transactions until they are finished. Durability: Any transac...

Lync and Exchange UM integration

For this I found a very useful post and here is the link to follow: http://blog.schertz.name/2010/11/lync-and-exchange-um-integration/ and ofcourse the microsoft link is also very useful: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb803622(office.12).aspx

Is not recognized as a valid cmdlet!!!

When we install Lync Server and try to import, export or use some other cmdlets, make sure you use Lync server management shell. If you use windows powersell then we will get the errors as mentioned in the title.. Silly but i did it few times this way :)

Installing Lync Server 2010

For installing Lync server topology, i want to brief down some points which will be useful in installing : 1) In wave 13(OCS 2007 R2) we can install AD and OCS on the same machine but Lync server 2010 doesnt allow it. We need to install AD on a separate machine first by using dcpromo. 2) Then next task will be installing AD components of Lync server on AD machine. 3) If you are opting for enterprise edition, install SQL Server on a separate machine. Else just skip this step. 4) Now on another machine from the Lync server deployment wizard install First standard or Enterprise edition. 5) On the same machine install topology builder. From -> All Programs, open topology builder and build a topology. After that publish the topology. For EE, we need to point to SQL server for CMS. And important point here is every organisation irrespective of number of SE and EE pools, a forest can contain only one Central management Store. So if you are planning for a child domain and in...

How Voicemail will be reached to a OCS/Lync User??

I did so many settings in the Exchange and Lync to configure the voicemail. Ofcourse i successfully did it but i just followed some documents. After reading this link i felt myself relaxed by understanding the basic concept.. http://www.ocspedia.com/Misc/How_OCS_Selects_UM_Server.aspx

WCF

BareMessage=Unrecognized configuration section system.servicemodel. Edit system.servicemodel to system.serviceModel to solve this issue. This error can also cause if machine.config file doesn't have the system.serviceModel section.

WCF

An error occurred when verifying security for the message If you are running Client and Service on one machine successfully and when you are running service on one machine and client one machine there is a possibility of receiveing the above message. For this we need to have the following stuff in the code: proxy.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.UserName = "user"; proxy.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.Password = "password"; proxy.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.Domain = "domain";

WCF Error

Unable to connect to the remote server Even after giving the correct service IP and port in the config file, if you face the above error then the probable problem may be that when the service is published as "localhost". Try to change it to the IP of the machine name and try. Note:The time on the machines where client and service are running should be in sync

Error: Identifier not found

Below example throws a error saying "Identifier not found" even when both the functions are defined above main because "even" is not visible from "odd" method. Therefore it is a good practice to declare all the methods above the main and define the methods below the main. For the code to work uncomment the commented lines and move the 'odd' and 'even' methods below the main(). #include using namespace std; //void odd (int a); //void even (int a); void odd (int a) { if ((a%2)!=0) cout << "Number is odd.\n"; else even (a); } void even (int a) { if ((a%2)==0) cout << "Number is even.\n"; else odd (a); } int main () { int i; do { cout << "Type a number (0 to exit): "; cin >> i; odd (i); } while (i!=0); return 0;

Two strings are given, remove all occurrences or the characters in the second string from the first string
