Westbridge Industries
General Overview
You work as a Communications Infrastructure Administrator for a company named Westbridge
Industries.
The company has its corporate headquarters (HQ) based in New York and a branch office in
Atlanta.
Existing Environment
Active Directory
The company has an Active Directory forest containing a single domain named
westbridgeind.com. 4000 users are based in the New York office and 220 users are based in the
Atlanta office.
Network Configuration
The New York office has a leased line connection to the Internet. The Atlanta branch office does
not have a direct connection to the Internet. The branch office connects to the New York office and
to the Internet via a WAN link between the two offices.
Communications Environment
The company currently has a Lync Server 2010 infrastructure and a Microsoft Exchange Server
2013 organization with all servers located in the New York office.
The company also has a Lync Server 2013 infrastructure in a test environment. The company is
testing the Lync Server 2013 infrastructure with a view to deploying Lync Server 2013 to the live
environment and migrating all users from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013.
After the successful deployment of Lync Server 2013, the Lync Server 2010 environment will
remain in place for a period of six months.
Lync Server 2013 Test Environment
The Lync Server 2013 test environment contains the following servers in the New York office:
A server named LyncFE1 runs Lync Server 2013 Enterprise Edition and is configured as a Front
End Server in a Front End Pool named FEPool1. The fully qualified domain name (FQDN of the
Front End Pool is fepool1.westbridgeind.com

A server named Exchange1 runs Exchange Server 2013 and is configured with both the Client
Access Server and Mailbox Server roles.
A server named LyncSQL1 runs SQL Server and is configured as a Back End Server.
A server named LyncEdge1 is configured as an Edge Server and provides remote access to the
Lync Server 2013 environment.
A server named WinSRV01 is configured as a domain member server and currently hosts no Lync
or Exchange roles.
Test user accounts have been created in both the New York and Atlanta offices to test the Lync
Server 2013 environment. The test users have been testing the Server 2013 environment using
either the Lync 2010 client software or the Lync 2013 client software.
The external Lync web services FQDN is webext.westbridgeind.com. The FQDN of
meet.westbridgeind.com has been configured as a simple URL for Lync meetings.
Testing Issues
The testing process for the Lync Server 2013 environment has raised the following issues:
Users in both offices receive an error message stating that the Lync Server is unable to connect
to the Exchange Server.
During conferences between users in the New York office, audio streaming works well.
However, during conference between New York users and Atlanta users, the audio streaming
often lags behind or drops completely.
Some document types can be shared during web conferences while other document types
cannot be shared.
Requirements
Planned Changes
After the issues raised in the current testing have been resolved, the Lync Server 2013
environment will be expanded and further tested before being deployed to the live environment.
The following changes will be made to the Lync Server 2013 environment:
