1. Services
Installing a Director in Lync Server 2013
creates only a minimal number of Windows services. The following
services will be visible within the Services MMC after the Director
installation:
• Lync Server Centralized Logging Service
• Lync Server Front End
• Lync Server Replica Replicator Agent
• SQL Server (LYNCLOCAL)
• SQL Server (RTCLOCAL)
• SQL Server Agent (LYNCLOCAL)
• SQL Server Agent (RTCLOCAL)
Tip
The SQL Server Agent services are installed, but set to disabled.
Additionally, the IIS World Wide Web
Publishing Service will also be installed and running as part of the
prerequisite installations.
The Lync Management Shell can also be used to
check the current service status. Open the Lync Management Shell and
run the following command:
Get-CsWindowsService
Review the status report:
Status Name
------ ----
Running W3SVC
Running REPLICA
Running RTCCLSAGT
Running RTCSRV
Lastly, the state of a Director can always be
viewed through the Lync Server Control Panel. To check the status of a
Director pool, perform the following steps:
1. Open the Lync Server Control Panel.
2. Click Topology.
3. Highlight the server in question and click Properties.
4. Validate that the Service status column reports the green play button. A red square as shown in Figure 1 indicates that a required service is not running.
