Cannot complete Lync2013 integration because autodiscover/metadata/json/1 does not exist

Question
-
Hello,
I am trying to setup integration between Microsoft Lync 2013 Server and Exchange 2013 Server so that in OWA you can see presence information and also use Instant Messaging.
I am able to complete all the steps except for the following line on the Lync server:
New-CsPartnerApplication -Identity Exchange -ApplicationTrustLevel Full -MetadataUrl "https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/metadata/json/1"
I am getting an error that its not found:
New-CsPartnerApplication : Cannot bind parameter 'MetadataUrl' to the target. Exception setting "MetadataUrl": "The metadata document could not be downloaded from the URL in the MetadataUrl parameter or downloaded data is not a valid metadata document, error: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found."
Now I've already followed THIS thread: http://blogs.technet.com/b/jenstr/archive/2012/11/22/getting-internal-server-error-500-when-creating-new-cspartnerapplication-for-exchange-2013.aspx But that did not help me at all. Nor should it because that particular thread is a procedure to remedy an error 500. Remember I am getting an error 404.
I can validate that the path to /autodiscover/metadata/json/1 does not exist because I get a 404 in any web browser that I attempt to access this path. Also in IIS Manager on Exchange I do not even see a metadata folder. IIS has been reset and also the server has been rebooted as of 7:40 AM EST today and the issue persists.
I am not sure what goes in that location but I would be willing to accept if someone else would upload their metadata/json/1 file on SkyDrive and I could put it at this location.
Otherwise Autodiscover service appears to be working as Outlook and Lync clients do not pose an error. Testing e-mail autodiscover returns correct values and the paths /autodiscover/Autodiscover.svc and also autodiscover/autodiscover.xml are both reachable in a web browser.

Hi KJSTech1,
You could try to modify the autodiscover Url by following command.
Get-ClientAccessServer | Set-ClientAccessServer -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri "https://autodiscover.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml"
Run the following command in Lync Management Shell.
Set-CsOAuthConfiguration -Identity global -ExchangeAutodiscoverUrl "https://autodiscover.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.svc"
After doing the above work, please re-run the New-CsPartnerApplication command to test.
Best regards,
Eric

I have two exchange servers. A 2007 and a 2013. Can they both be set to https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml ?
Currently external and internal DNS points to autodiscover.domain.com to the cname of the Exchange 2013 server.Wednesday, December 3, 2014 12:47 PM -
Hi.
Were you able to resolve this issue?

Despite that error message, Lync integration works fine with Exchange. So yes I guess you can say we were able to resolve the issue. Not resolve the error message, but the integration works and that is the bottom line.Wednesday, September 16, 2015 4:10 PM

Hello,
how did you solve this issue?
I've the same problem by connecting SharePoint 2013 with Exchange 2013. "autodiscover/metadata/json/1" does not exist.
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards
