In previous versions as in OCS and OCS 2007 R2, those kind of data were stored in the Active directory, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and also SQL database, if you had worked with OCS you will remember that you needed to extend the Active Directory Schema to add a new features or functions and wait for replication across your AD infrastructure to complete, with Lync CMS it became way much easier as all data are stored in one location. Those kind of data are stored as XML documents in the database, and CMS services replicate those data to the required servers.

dial plans, client policies, meeting policies)

Policies (contain the different Lync Policy e.g.

In extreme cases you may need to reset your Exchange virtual directories for AutoDiscover and/or EWS.

Wildcard certificates used for Exchange Web Services will stop Exchange integration for Lync Phone Edition devices.

Make sure /Autodiscover/* and /EWS/* virtual directories in ISA/TMG are published as such.

The Lync 2013 client does not appear to support forms based authentication when using ISA/TMG.

This can be done in the Lync 2013 client before sign-in, or you can delete the %userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftOutlook – Autodiscover.xml

Lync caches information about EWS so it is important that you delete Lync sign-in information when any changes are made.

An Xml document should be returned stating the request was invalid – this is normal. If you are prompted for authentication enter a user account which has an Exchange mailbox.

You can check that you can get to the autodiscover service and that the certificate is OK by browsing to the following URL – http(s):///autodiscover/autodiscover.xml.
