Lync Phone Edition Time Synchronization

In order to get Lync Phone Edition (LPE) to Synchrnize time you need either and SRV record that points to your NTP servers (which may be your domain controllers) or allow Internet connection to your LPE devices,
as LPE synchnronizes time using one of the following methods:

  1. Lync Phone Edition searches for an NTP server in Domain Name System (DNS)  , it looks for the SRV record  _ntp._udp. pointing to NTP Server
  2. If Lync Phone Edition cannot find the NTP SRV record, it will attempt to use http://time.windows.com as an NTP server by searching for time.windows.com
so either create the SRV record or allow Internet access to time.windows.com on port 123 UDP.

As far as I remember last time I want to access the reports they were in a different placce , it took me a while to figure out where they are locate , so I thought to blog about this.

No static address matched networks "Cluster Network Name" . Specified static addresses: x.x.x.x

While I was working on a DAG with separate MAPI and Replication Networks whenever I  make any changes to DAG like running start-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup or Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup I get the following warning message: "No static address matched networks "Cluster Network ". Specified static addresses: x.x.x.x". The Cluster Network was the Replication Network whose subnet is different than that of the DAG IP addresses. Seems that Exchange wanted to utilize this network for MAPI traffic. Although When I run the command get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork I find that MAPIEnabled is false on the replication network. when I compared the cluster networks of this DAG with another healthy DAG I found that the checkbox "allow clients to connect through this network" was checked. when I uncheck it, it gets checked by itself again  !. The reason was that one of the DAG members had the "register this connection's address in dns" che...
