    Hello all.

    I'm implementing a new Standard OCS2007 R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. On this first phase will only accessible inside our organization, so no Edge deployment yet.

    I found some weird problems when validating installation, because new users logged in well, but old users (pre-OCS2007 AD prep), although correctly enabled for UC, fail to log in. But that's just for intro purposes.

    As I was trying to figure this out, i notices that the Front-End service was stopped, and so i tried to start. but it fails with the following error:

    The Office Communications Server Front-End service terminated with service-specific error -1007781640.

    I found several info about similar errors, but none with this error nr.

    That's why I come to you.

    Can anyone help me with this issue?

    thanks

    Did everyone here apply CU6 which was released last week to your servers?  If so, you need to do the ocs2009-dbupgrade.msi immediately. 

    See here for the issue and resolution if you have applied CU6 either intentionally or via windows update.

    Hello all.

    Thank you for al the help, and finally my FE as started.

    I just runned, again, the OCS2009-dbupgrade.msi in command line mode and after finished, stopped and started services one by one.

    I also did eliminate the HP TEAMING i had with my 2 NIC cards, and enabled only one NIC with the correct IP, DNS and Gateway.

    Anyway, I'm still having trouble with the Validation, because my already existent users, although OCS enabled, fail to authenticate with the following error:

    Failed to establish security association with the server: User paulo.marques Domain <domain>.local Protocol NTLM Server Bell.<domain>.local Target Invalidated

    Guess i have to continue my troubleshooting anyways. I also get a certificate error when login in Communicator.

    Have you installed the proper updates per KB 982021?  Please see the following article as support for Windows Server 2008 R2 requires several fixes.

    I didn't move any of the original installation.

    Everything was installed in this physical dedicated server, just for this purpose. I want to add a couple of things, that i'm not sure if they're related.

    I'm running this in a HP DL380G5 server with TEAMING configured for 2 onboard NICs. Can this be a problem?

    Another error i'm getting on the event viewer relates to the Response Group and is as follows:

    I recreate the OCS certificate, but that didn't helped either.

    I also installed the updates from the ServerUpdateInstaller package, downloaded from the Microsoft website. Can this have installed something not supposed to in a Standard pool environment?

    Running out of ideas here. Please try to help me on this.

    Thanks

    You mean you'd applied this KB 968802? on the server? which regards to certificate, i believe you're using STD edition of OCS server and the certificate cname should be FQDN of OCS server name. just for FYI

    Alright,

    Let try this.

    Download the OCS2009-DBUpgrade.msi from the below link.

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=b3b02475-150c-41fa-844a-c10a517040f4

    using the msiexec command we need to extract the OCS2009-DBUpgrade.msi file.

     = > msiexec /a <path of OCS2009-DBUpgrade.msi> /TARGETDIR=<extract folder path>

    Example:

    c:\update>msiexec /a <c:\update\OCS2009-DBUpgrade.msi> /TARGETDIR=<c:\update>

    => cscript dbqfeupdate.wsf /sqlserver:SQLServerName /Role:SE /verbose

    Example:

    c:\update>cscript dbqfeupdate.wsf /sqlserver:SQLServerName /Role:SE /verbose

    I introduced as the sql server, the same server as the ocs server, because it is a local instance of SQL running for OCS. I defined the fqdn name of the server. Not sure if this is the correct.

    No need to type the instance name for the SQL Server name.

    cscript dbsetup.wsf /SqlServer:<nameofOCSName> /Role:se /Verbose

     

    nameofOCSName = NetBios name of your OCS STD server name.

    Just did that and no love...

    i'm climbing walls in here.

    I gather that there is one of the updates KB974571 that apparently makes all sort of mess within an OCS infrastructure

    From what i read, I only had to uninstall this update and reboot server, but this didnt work in my case.

    I'm trying to give you the most feedback i can remember about my OCS deployment, because last friday i only had issues during the validations (OCS), and the only stopped service was the Response group, today response group is running and not the front-end.

    This sucks. I was so carefull on this installation and now this. Don't get it.

    Okey, let me understand the current situation here.

    All the services running except FE service?

    Even after you uninstall KB974571 you need to run the OCSScanfix.exe on your server, have you done that?

    Could you please start the FE service and paste the detail fresh event log here for me to check little more further? and according to you, you had only applied this KB KB974571 ? there no further changes done on the server as per you knowledge?

    That's correct.

    As i already stated, i followed the Microsoft procedure in order to comply my deployment with W2k8R2 supportability, and later i realise that one of the updates, created serious issues with OCS2007.

    I then uninstall this update, but didnt run OCSASNfix.exe again. Untill now. But didnt reboot server yet.

    I tried just now to start the FE service and this is the feedback on the System event viewer log:

    The fix can be found here: http://www.unplugthepbx.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=26

    It is an issue with CU6 that requires the ocs2009-dbupgrade.msi prior to installing the CU6 service hotfixes.
