Hello,

After I go through Lyn Deployment Wizard to prepare Lync 2013 server, I ran this command to create CMS on Lync 2013 svr as an administrator.

Install-CsDatabase -Centralmanagement Database -sqlserverfqdn xxx.xxx.com -sqlinstancename -rtc

The I received the following error. I also tried to the command with -clean as some suggested and it resulted in the same error. RTC instance is installed on Lync 2013 and remote connection and TCP/IP enabled. I also checked windows firewall and RTC access is set to allow...all Lync services are running as well. I would appreciate help!!

Can you try without the - before the RTC? 

Install-CsDatabase -CentralmanagementDatabase -sqlserverfqdn xxx.xxx.com -sqlinstancename rtc

Thank you. I will try that tonight!

Try it without -sqlinstancename -rtc

Install-CsDatabase -ConfiguredDatabases -SqlServerFqdn xxx.xxx.com -UseDefaultSqlPaths -Verbose

In addition, I just noticed that you have

-sqlinstancename -rtc

and it should be

-sqlinstancename rtc

You can try it with correct instance

Hi,

I tried without '-' and am getting the following error now.

My mistake. You need instance name with CMS

Is account that you are using is a member of CSadministrators and RTCUniversalServerAdmin groups?

Account used is in correct group. Would you clarify what you mean by I need instance name with CMS?

This is what I ran:

Install-CsDatabase -Centralmanagement Database -SQLServerFQDN xxx.xxx.com -SQLInstanceName rtc

The command should be:

Install-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase -SqlServerFqdn xxx.xxx.com -SqlInstanceName rtc -UseDefaultSqlPaths -Verbose

You have space in your command: "-Centralmanagement Database" Is this just typo?

yes, a typo.

What was the exact command you ran? As the issue looks to be about SQL pathing. If defining database and log placement use something like:

Install-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase -SqlServerFqdn sqlbe.contoso.net -SqlInstanceName rtc -DatabasePaths "C:\CSDB-Logs","C:\CSDB-CMS" -Report "C:\Logs\InstallDatabases.html" 

(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/gg398832.aspx)

I also noticed you have a space in the parameter "-Centralmanagement Database" should be "-CentralmanagementDatabase&qu

I used this:

Install-CSDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase -SQLServerFQDN xxxxx.xxx.com -SQLInstanceName rtc

I also tried with the following string and got the same error:

-usedefaultsqlpaths -verbose

that was just a typo on this post...

Have you tried with the -DatabasePaths and defining the log and database paths?

Just tried your suggestion and i'm getting the same error msg.

Are you running the command locally on the Lync 2013 server using the Lync 2013 Management Shell? Also is the domain account being used a member of the local administrators of the server?

Please post the details of the log file referenced in: 

TaskFailed: An error occurred while creating or updating the database for feature CentralMgmtStore. For details, see the log file		
		

Yes on both.

This is log file reference:

Exception Stack:
Type: System.ArgumentNullException, Message: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: path1

and installdatabases.html has the same error I posted today.

Does your account have sysadmin rights to the database?

Yes it does.

What is returned if you run Test-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase on the 2013 server?

Could you use SQL Management Studio either from the local server or another server and try connecting the the 2013 RTC instance? What databases are listed?

RTC lists the following:

System Databases

cpsdyn

rgsconfig

rgsdyn

rtcab

rtcshared

rtcxds

If you open the Lync 2013 Topology Builder and select the top item "Lync Server" do you see your 2013 FE listed as a Central Management Server? How much free disk space do you have on your Front End as well?

when i did my migration, i had to actually run the command shell in admin mode if I recall, otherwise i got access denied when it tried running the scripts. Even though i was in enterprise admins, and in rtcuniversalserveradmins, i still had to do the "run as administrator" on management shell.

CMS is still Lync 2010 server. About 55 GB free HD space available on Lync 2013.

I have run everything as admin.

I have noticed replication is failing. Status shows false on all servers and dates previous to my last try to move CMS.

So when I try invoke-csmanagementstorereplication it fails because the systems sees CMS is being relocated....

I get the following error:

PS C:\Users\administrator.xxxx> invoke-csmanagementstorereplication
invoke-csmanagementstorereplication : ###50020:XdsForceReplication:This

Plz forgive my overlooking this piece of info!!

I forgot to mention something that I didn't think it was a big deal. When I tried to install cms without "-" in front of rtc sql instance name last Friday, that command ran without issues, but CMS move failed right away. Server also was not stable; I could not open task manager or event viewer. and I could not even open server, so I applied the snapshot that I took right before I started working on it. When the snapshot came up instead of running install cms command I restarted the server to refresh svr resources and that's when I started getting this error trying to install cms on Lync 2013 svr from my June 21 post:

Install-CsDatabase : An error occurred while creating or updating the database
for feature CentralMgmtStore. For details, see the log file 'xxxxx.log'
At line:1 char:1

On Lync 2010 server, replication service agents (master and file transfer) had stopped since last Friday night saying CMS role is not installed. When I restarted today both services are saying:

Microsoft Lync Server 2010, ....agent will not be functional until the AD connection point refers to a central management database that is in an available state.The Central management database is being moved out of xxx-xxx.xxxxx.com\rtc SQL instance.
Resolution:
Please ensure that the central management database was successfully moved to another pool and that the AD connection point was not manually changed.

What's puzzling is CMS move failed right away with an error (I can't recall and events from last week are overwritten), but the system thinks CMS is being moved or just stuck at that state..... CMS connection still shows as Lynch 2010 svr. I plan to restart Lync 2010 server to see if it helps at all. Any other suggestions would be appreciated!!
