Microsoft lync for mac shutdown update#
This feature is really useful in resilient environments for diagnosing problems, taking servers offline for cumulative update patching, reconfiguring certificates or restarting the server completely. Once all connections have completed and disconnected, I see Event ID 25050 informing me that the service has completed draining:įinally, Event ID 25003 is logged informing me that the service has now stopped: The service may stay in a Paused status for a while, depending on how long users stay on the phone for.
In the Lync Server event log, I also see event ID 25049 informing me that the service has started to drain: Once I’ve run the above cmdlet, in the Services MMC snap-in I see that the Lync Server Mediation service status is listed as Paused. Specifying the -Graceful switch ensures the service is drained and existing client connections are allowed to continue like I mentioned above. Next I run the cmdlet Stop-CsWindowsService –Name RTCMEDSRV -Graceful. I can leave the REPLICA service running as this doesn’t affect client connections and ensures CMS changes are still replicated to this server.
To drain this Mediation Server, I want to stop the RTCMEDSRV service only (side note: for a Front End server the main service I’d be looking to stop to ensure no more clients logged on would be RTCSRV). This returns a list of all the Lync services running on the server: The first cmdlet I run in Lync Server Management Shell on the server I want to drain is Get-CsWindowsService. In this example, I’m draining connections on a Lync Server 2010 Mediation Server in preparation for maintenance. Once the server is completely “drained” of connections, the services are stopped and the administrator can then patch, restart or reconfigure the server without impacting users. What this means is that it ensures that existing client connections to/through the server are allowed to continue, but all new connections are refused. Server draining was a new feature introduced in Lync Server 2010 that allows administrators to gracefully take a server offline for maintenance.
