What's New
The following features are new in this release of the Lync Server 2010 Management Pack, compared to previous iterations (Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and 2007 R2 Management Packs). 5
Central discovery
Discovery of roles and components that need to be monitored is automatically completed based on a central discovery script that reads the topology document published in Central Management Database.
Prioritized alerts:
Alerts have been classified out-of-the-box into:
High Priority alerts:
These are indicative of service unavailability for multiple users. For example, a Component failure on a single machine is NOT a high priority alert. This is because Lync Server 2010 product has built-in high availability features (for example, multiple Frontend servers behind load balancers). A high-priority alert indicates an outage as observed from a synthetic transaction. Alerts with this priority are serious enough to wake up administrators at night.
Medium Priority alerts:
These are indicative of component failures. For example, Conferencing service not operational on a particular server. Alerts in this category are stateful and indicate the current status of the issue. In this example, if conferencing service has recovered, the alert would be auto-resolved in Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. The expectation for these alerts is that an administrator will look at them on the same business day.
Other Alerts:
These are alerts from components that might affect a specific user/ subset of users. For example, the Address Book service could not parse the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) entry for user: testuser@contoso.com. The expectation for these 6
alerts is that administrators will get to them when they have time available.
Stateful alerting:
Alerts are auto-resolved when a failure condition is no longer applicable. Component alerts (Medium priority only) are driven by Operations Manager monitors that automatically turn back to healthy state when the problem is no longer observed. (These alerts are still available in Closed Alerts view for administrators to look at). The benefit for administrators is to know the current status of a problem/alert by looking at monitor state. Note: Other Alerts category of component alerts (see above) and Call failure alerts are NOT stateful.
Transient handling:
This management pack defines monitors that turn to unhealthy state only when there are consecutive failures. For example, a High Priority alert is generated only when a synthetic transaction fails twice consecutively. (The first failure is treated as a warning state for the monitor).
Synthetic transactions
This new feature in Microsoft Lync Server 2010 management pack provides alerting based on end-to-end monitoring scenarios. Synthetic transactions are Windows PowerShell cmdlets that are integrated into Operations Manager management pack and test end-to-end user scenarios. Once an administrator has designated a server to execute synthetic transactions, these cmdlets are triggered periodically by the management pack. Failures from a synthetic transaction generate a stateful alert. Here are supported synthetic transactions for Microsoft Lync Server 2010:
No 1 2 3 4 5
Scenario Name Peer to Peer Instant Messaging Peer to Peer audio call Group Instant Messaging Audio/Video Conference Rich Presence 7
6 7 8 9 10
Registration (User Login) Dial in conferencing Address book service (file download) Address book web query Peer to Peer PSTN Call
Port monitoring
This new feature in Microsoft Lync Server 2010 management pack provides automatic monitoring for ports that are used by Microsoft Lync Server 2010 product inside the corporate firewall. Any port that cannot be pinged results in an alert that is auto-resolved when the port is working again.

Getting Started
Before You Import the Management Pack
Note: Read this section carefully, as additional steps are required to enable full monitoring of your Lync Server 2010 deployment.
Lync Server 2010 is already installed. Operations Manager Agent has been deployed on all servers that are part of the Lync Server 2010 deployment (including Edge Servers, if Edge monitoring is desired).
Make sure Agent Proxy setting is enabled for all Front End Servers in the Pool that contains Central Management Server and also for the server that will be used as synthetic transaction watcher node where synthetic transactions will run from.
To enable agent proxy, follow these steps: 1. Go to the server that is running System Center Operations Manager. Open Operations Manager Console. 2. Navigate to Administration tab. 3. Select Agent Managed. 4. From the detail view on the right side, right-click the watcher node agent, Click Properties and from the Properties dialog click the Security tab. 5. Check Allow this agent to act as proxy and discover managed objects on other computers check box. See Fig. 1
12
script runs on the Operations Manager agent that is discovered as the Central Discovery Watcher Node. The default algorithm to automatically pick a machine as central discovery watcher node is as follows: 1. Find the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Front End pool where Central Management Store is installed (usually the Front End Pool which has been installed first). 2. Select all the member machines in the Front End Server role (this could be an Enterprise Edition Consolidated pool with multiple Front End Servers using a HLB or DNS load balancing). 3. Identify the computer which is currently the active master. 4. This machine will be used to discover all roles and components in the topology. For more details, see Fig. 2. The entire topology information is available in Central Management Database and a single script in the management pack retrieves the topology data and populates Operations Manager 2007 classes and relationships for all server roles & components. (This is different from the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 management pack behavior where each server role was individually discovered using registry keys on the local machine).
Important Note: Edge pool discovery is turned off by default. To turn it on override value of DiscoverEdgeServerRole property of LS Central Topology Discovery object to True.
Steps: 1. Open view in folder Topology Discovery\Discovery State view. See Figure #3 for details. 2. Ensure that all Front End Servers in the Front End pool that contains Central Management Server are listed in this view. a. If a Front End Server is missing from this view, then please check: i. Did the Operations Manager agent get pushed to that server? ii. Is this front-end server heart-beating in Operations Manager correctly? Is this server down for maintenance or otherwise unavailable? 3. Ensure that the server (FQDN) that will be picked by algorithm in section How central discovery works shows Lync Server Discovery Script column as Healthy see Figure #3: 15
Fig. 3 Topology Discovery State View If Lync Server Discovery Script column does not show Healthy, then ensure that this machine is heart-beating without errors in System Center Operations Manager and is not down for maintenance. 4. Central Discovery script (in the Lync Server 2010 management pack) supports an override to the FQDN that will be used for central discovery. Administrators can override this setting (we recommend that this setting be used ONLY if the previous troubleshooting steps do not work as expected). Please note this FQDN specified must be a valid FQDN of a Microsoft Lync Server 2010 system (which is a server, where product is installed).
Monitoring Server role in Lync Server 2010 must be deployed for this feature to work. For detail please refer to the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Deployment guides.
Call reliability and media quality monitoring use the monitoring server machine as their watcher node to monitor call reliability and media quality of 16
Microsoft Lync Server. Both of these features query the monitoring server databases to do analysis. The queries that are executed as Network Service account (as their Run As account). For these queries to run successfully, administrator should add the monitoring server machine to RtcUniversalReadonlyAdmins group.
Important Note: The default Discovery frequency of the discovery rule Microsoft Lync Server 2010 QoE discovery is set to 15min (900sec). This setting is by design since this rule performs discovery as well as threshold checks. Validation in large production environments has been performed to ensure a good compromise between delays in alerting (max 15min), and performance consideration around frequent discoveries. If you are experiencing a performance impact (increased or excessive Operations Manager 2007 Agent load) on your Lync Server 2010 Monitoring server system, increase the frequency of this check by overriding the Frequency setting of this discovery rule.
8. Ensure that the Override is stored in the desired Override MP 9. Select OK to close
18
You can override these settings to customize to your deployment. Advanced customization is possible using a number of scenarios (see details list in Fig. 6 Available override in discovery Microsoft Lync Server 2010 QoE discovery).
19
For example you can overwrite the Critical alert threshold % (A/V Conferencing Server) by setting this to a custom percentage. The default setting is -1 which means no override is set, and the default threshold applies. Another advanced customization is to exclude a specific QoE instance from being monitored. You can specify multiple instance names to the Excluded Instances separated by comma. The instance name is the name shown in the Instance Name column in Detailed QoE Monitoring States view. For example, for A/V Conferencing Server, the FQDN of the server is the instance name. In case you dont want to get any alert for two A/V Conferencing Servers avconf1.contoso.com and avconf2.contoso.com, you can override Excluded Instances ( A/V Conferencing Server) to avconf1.contoso.com, avconf2.contoso.com.
Default False

Following steps show how to open Override Properties dialog to override properties of the Media Quality monitoring discovery. 1. Launch the operation Console, and go to the authoring tab. 20
2. Expand Management Pack Objects. 3. Click Object Discoveries. 4. Click Change Scope on top of Object Discoveries panel. 5. Click View all targets radio box. 6. Click the check box of LS Audio Quality for A/V Conferencing Server and click the OK button. You can select any target that starts with LS Audio Quality for, because the discovery is shared by all Media Quality monitoring categories. 7. Right-click Microsoft Lync Server 2010 QoE discovery in Discovered Type: LS Audio Quality for A/V Conferencing Server. 8. Click in following sequence, Overrides -> Override the Object Discovery -> For all objects of class: LS QoE Monitoring. 9. Fill in with the new settings in Override Properties dialog, click apply to make it take effect.

The deployment of the synthetic transaction watcher node involves topology, Active Directory Domain Services and server and Operations Manager 2007 related installation tasks. A step-by-step instruction for each task category is listed below. Note: For details about each of the Lync Server 2010 cmdlets that will be used in next sections, see the cmdlet help.
Add ST Watcher Node as a trusted Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Application pool
1. Create external application pool with synthetic transaction watcher node machine as a member. While creating use machine FQDN as pool FQDN. To create the pool you can run the following cmdlet from the Lync Server Management Shell: New-CsTrustedApplicationPool -Identity <PoolFQDN> -Site <SiteID> -Registrar <RegistrarPoolFQDN> -Verbose Where <PoolFQDN>: Is the FQDN of the external application pool to be created. Use watcher node machine FQDN as Pool FQDN <SiteID>: The ID of the site where the application pool belongs to <RegistrarPoolFQDN>: The FQDN of the registrar pool that the external application pool depends on Example: New-CsTrustedApplicationPool -Identity da12lct.csmonitoring.contoso.com -Site 1 -Registrar DA13LCT.csmonitoring.contoso.com -Verbose 2. Verify that external application pool has been added by running Get-CsPool 3. Create an external application service entry in topology by using following cmdlet from the Lync Server Management Shell: New-CsTrustedApplication -ApplicationId <AppID> -TrustedApplicationPoolFqdn <externalAppPoolFQDN> -Port <PortNumber> -Verbose Where <AppID>: Is an ID for the application. For example, you can use STWatcherNode <externalAppPoolFQDN>: Is the FQDN of the external application pool that you created in step 1 24
<PortNumber>: Any unused port number. Example: New-CsTrustedApplication -ApplicationId "StWatcherNode" -TrustedApplicationPoolFqdn da12-lct.csmonitoring.contoso.com -Port 5587 -Verbose
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Real-Time Communications\Health" -Name "IsSTWatcherNode" -Value true | Out-Null New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Real-Time Communications\Health" -Name "LogOpsMgr" -PropertyType DWord -value 2
If the registry key does not exist you can create it by running the following PS cmdlet New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HealthService\P arameters" -Name "Thread Pool CLR Max Thread Count Min" -propertytype DWord -value 200 2. Restart health service: Net stop healthservice & Net start healthservice 26
where sqlserver1.contoso.com is the FQDN of the SQL Server, and RTCINST is the instance name, and sqlserver is the hostname/account name of the SPN. Please refer to the SQL and setspn.exe documentation for detail on setting up an SPN.
27
28
Look at ST Internal Alerts folder in Lync Server 2010management pack on the server that is running Operations Manager. If there is any internal alert on discovery or ST Execution an internal alert will be created.
Note: Depending on your environment (HLB or DNS load balancing) and the Pools deployed (Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition) some alerts from Port monitoring may not be relevant to your deployment. When you deploy this management pack for the first time and enable Port monitoring, it is recommended to go through all alerts raised by port monitoring and disable the alerts/monitors that are not relevant to your deployment. This will create a base-line for ports that are expected to work. After this base-line, any new alerts should be indicative of real failures in the deployment. Because port monitoring requires configuration specific to your environment, the alerts from this feature are not automatically included in the High/Medium/Other Priority Alerts views. They are only available in the Alerts view in the \Ports folder.

LS Component
31
32
Since an LS Pool can contain multiple individual LS Server systems (with one more LS server roles, LS services, and LS components), a failure of an individual server or component is less critical to the overall health of the LS Pool, as other servers in the same pool can provide the application service to the client. The health will roll up on a percentage level to the LS pool. (Health Rollup: More than 50% of LS server roles in an LS pool are affected).
33
The LS Pool Watcher performs synthetic transactions and probing and against an LS pool. Consecutive failure of one or more synthetic transactions (consecutive polling interval) will rollup critical health state to the pool level (Worst of any Synthetic Transaction). Note: LS Port Watcher, and global Simple URL Watcher do not roll up health state.
34
Maintenance
Pool Maintenance
When performing maintenance on a Pool (including the Standard Edition server), please use the Tasks provided in this management pack (Action Pane) to put the entire pool in maintenance mode. This ensures that the Pool and all its associated dependencies are put into maintenance mode. To do this: go to the 5. Pools view in Operations Manager 2007 Console, then select the Pool in the main window, and choose Put a LS Pool in maintenance mode from the Actions pane on the right.(see Fig 10)
35
Now, specify the duration of your maintenance window by overriding the MaintenanceWindowInMinutes Task Parameter and click Run to execute the Task. (see Fig 11)
Running this Task will put the following objects in maintenance mode in SCOM: a) The Lync Server pool that this Task was invoked for. b) All Lync Server roles on Servers that are part of that pool. (Example: Front End Servers that are part of an Enterprise Edition pool) c) Synthetic Transaction Watchers that are monitoring that Pool. This includes: User Services Watcher, Registrar Watcher and Voice Watcher 36
d) All Ports that are being monitored for that pool Heres sample output from running this Task (see Fig 12)
Fig. 12 Pool Maintenance Task sample output Similarly, to bring a Pool out of maintenace window, use the Bring a LS pool out-of-maintenance mode Task. 37
To reduce alert noise, please ensure that any pools or servers that are present in your Lync Server topology, but have not been installed/activated are put into maintenance mode as well.
Server maintenance
This applies to any server role that is deployed in a Highly Available configuration (example: a Front-end server in a Pool). To perform maintenance on a specific server where Lync Server components are installed, use the normal Operations Manager 2007 procedure to put that Server in maintenance mode. Navigate to 6.Servers view, choose the Server from the main window and click on Start Maintenance Mode in the Actions pane on the right. (See Fig. 13)
Fig. 13
Server Maintenance
To reduce alert noise, please ensure that any pools or servers that are present in your Lync Server topology, but have not been installed/activated are put into maintenance mode as well.
38
Configuring Notifications
Notifications are messages that are automatically sent when an alert occurs on a monitored system. To configure a notification, you must first choose the format of the notification, and then define what information the notification should contain, and finally define who should get the notifications. Each of these definitions must be completed in the following order. 1. Enabling a notification channel. The available notifications channels are e-mail, instant messaging, Short Message Service, and command. 2. Create a notification recipient. A notification recipient defines when and from what device notifications can be sent. 3. Create a notification subscription that defines who receives notifications. You can limit who receives notifications by user role, group membership, object types, alert criteria such as severity, priority, resolution state, and even category of alert, as well as configure alert aging. For more details on how to configure notifications please refer system center operations manager documentation. Microsoft Lync Server 2010 classifies alerts in three categories
1. High priority alerts from synthetic transactions and call failure alerts 2. Medium priority alerts from the different Lync Server components 3. Other Alerts - non-service impacting from different Lync Server components
Hence you can create different subscription rules for the above classifications. a. To get notifications from High Priority Alerts add the following criteria in the subscription Raised by any instance of LS Registrar Watcher LS User Services Watcher LS Voice Watcher High New, Closed (This will enable notification both when issue happens and issue resolved)
b. To get notifications about service impacting failures from Lync Server components add the following criteria in the subscription Raised by any instance of LS LS LS LS LS LS LS LS LS Call Reliability Watcher Access Edge Component Address Book File Handler Component Address Book Query Component Application Sharing Component Archiving Component Audio Conferencing Provider Component Audio Video Authentication Edge Component Audio Video Conferencing Component

For more information about management pack customizations and the Default Management Pack, see About Management Packs in Operations Manager 2007 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108356). 41
Optional Configuration
Enabling Performance Threshold and Collection Rules
The following performance collection rule and matching threshold monitor are disabled by default in the Management Pack. Collection and threshold on this metric is typically not required
Rule Name Reporting and Troubleshooting
Performance collection for : PERF_DP_NET_SERVER_CON NECTIONS_CURRENT (Current number of active connections to Web Conferencing Server)
This rule collects this performance counter for reporting/troubleshooting purposes for the counter: PERF_DP_NET_SERVER_CONNECTIONS_CURREN T The total number of server connections that are currently active.
Monitor: The total number of server connections that are currently active. Expected number of connections to each Web Conferencing Server is 4. If there are no connections currently active to Web Conferencing Server, the reason could be an incorrect configuration where the Web Conferencing Servers are not able to connect to the Web Conferencing Edge Server. It is also possible that the Web Conferencing Server has malfunctioned and is not running in a healthy state
42
Security Considerations
Lync Server 2010 supports Operations Manager Agent running as Local System. Discoveries other workflows have to be run as Network Service (Run As account) which is configured by default. Modification of the Run As profile to a different account is not supported.
Low-Privilege Environments
Lync Server 2010 Management Pack does not support Low-Privileged Operations Manager Agent Deployments.
Run As Profiles
The profile Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Profile is defined as Network Service, and cannot be changed to a different account. Only Network Service as sufficient access to the Lync Server 2010 Central Management Database.
Problem: Edge servers are not discovered. Resolution: By default, the discovery of edge servers is disabled. Override value of DiscoverEdgeServerRole property of LS Central Topology Discovery object to True.
Problem: Synthetic Transactions fail with the error Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'. Resolution: See Access to SQL Central Management Database from Watcher node
43
Problem: HTTP (Address Book) Synthetic Transactions are failing. Resolution: See configuration for Other Settings for Synthetic Transactions.
Problem: No test users are configured for Synthetic Transactions. Resolution: See Configure Synthetic Transactions Test Users.
Problem: QoE monitoring is failing. Resolution: Ensure that the Monitoring Server has access to the QoE database. See Deployment steps for QoE Monitoring.
Problem: URL monitoring is not working. Resolution: Ensure that the configured Simple URLs are accessible from the watcher node (DNS resolution, and possibly HTTP web proxy access).
Problem: Port monitoring reports errors. Resolution: See note about Port Monitoring.
