The goal of this page is to help with Cloud Connector Edition (CCE) deployment and troubleshooting issues.

We recommend running the SBC and SbcComms latest firmware before deploying CCE.

Confirm CCE state

Confirm CCE Status

Once CCE deployment is complete, confirm the following:

  1. Log into the SBC Edge WebUI.

  2. Access Tasks > Application Solution Module > Operational Status.  

    Operational Status

     

    1. If there is only the AD VM, and you are using a proxy on the ASM host, exclude the Management Network and Local Network from the proxy usage. To bypass the proxy, specify the WinHTTP Proxy settings set with your Proxy Server and a Bypass list including the 192.168.213.* network used by your Cloud Connector Managements services and the Local subnet used by your VM.

      > netsh winhttp set proxy "10.10.10.175:8080" bypass-list="192.168.213.*;192.168.214.*".

> netsh winhttp show proxy
Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
    Proxy Server(s) :  10.34.207.20:8080
    Bypass List     :  192.168.213.*;192.168.214.*

    2. Ensure four VMs are displayed. If not, restart the deployment.

  3. Ensure the latest Software Installed Version (CCE) is installed.

    CCE - Sosftware Installed Version

  4. Ensure the Auto Maintenance Status is set as None.

    CCE - Auto Maintenance Status

     

    1. If the status is Update OS or Bits, you should wait until the end of the update.
    2. If the status is Auto-Recover, check: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/sfbhybridvoice/2017/03/10/understanding-cloud-connector-edition-auto-recovery.

  5. Ensure the proper version is displayed as the Software Running Version.

    CCE - Software Running Version

     

    1. If the Software Running version is None or Unknown, log into the ASM using Remote Desktop.

    2. Connect the SBC Edge VM, open Services and ensure the following six Skype for Business Servers are Running. See below.

       Problem - What to CheckMost Likely CauseSolution

      If all of the below issues are true:

      • On HyperV Manager, there is no Virtual Switch assigned on the VM (on the ASM)
      • Some Skype for Business Server services are not running
      • Windows Lync Event Log report Errors with Event ID 42004,19005 and 14624

      		Communication IssueOn ASM:  type "Switch-CcVersion -Force"

      If all of the below issues are true:

      • Some Skype for Business Server services are not running
      • Windows Lync Event Logs report Errors with Event ID 19008 and 19005
      		Public Certificate Issue
      • Generate a new CSR on CCE Wizard.
      • Sign the Certificate on your Public CA.
      • Import the certificate returned by your Public CA on CCE Wizard.
      • Run the Step "Prepare CCE" on CCE wizard.
      • If you are on CCE 1.4.1 only: Run Install-CcInstall

      If all of the below issues are true:

      • Some "Skype for Business Server" service are not running
      • Windows Lync Event Logs reports Error with Event ID 14623 and 12303
      		Public Certificate Issue
      • Generate a new CSR on CCE Wizard.
      • Sign the Certificate on your Public CA.
      • Import the certificate returned by your Public CA on CCE Wizard.
      • Run the Step "Prepare CCE" on CCE wizard.
      • If you are on CCE 1.4.1 only: Run Install-CcInstall

Confirm Hyper-V State

  1. On HyperV manager, check the Networking for each VM and confirm that the Corpnet Adapter is always attached to the SfB CCE Corpnet Switch. If a VM has two IPv4 addresses on the Corpnet Adapter, and one is beginning with 169, there is most likely an IP address conflict with local equipment.

    HyperV Networking - Corpnet Connection Adapter

  2. On HyperV manager, check the Networking for the Edge VM and confirm that the Internet Adapter is attached to the SfB CCE Internet Switch. If the Edge VM has two IPv4 addresses on the Internet Adapter, and one is beginning with 169, there is most likely an IP address conflict with DMZ equipment.

Confirm Office 365 Tenant

  1. On the Office 365 Tenant, confirm that OsUpdate is not currently running:

    PS> Get-CsHybridPSTNAppliance -Identity 091287a9-1c8f-416e-b8ba-b250fba56181
Identity                 : 091287a9-1c8f-416e-b8ba-b250fba56181
.
RegistrationStatus       : RegisteredAndDeployed
.
DeploymentStatus         : {"Status":"Deployed","Version":"1.4.1","Error":null,"StartTime":"2016-12-19T21:10:50.9209Z"}
OsUpdateStatus           : {"Status":"None","Error":null,"StartTime":null}

     

    1. If OsUpdateStatus displays the status below, wait for the update to complete. To set a time window for the update, see: Managing Your Office 365 Tenant.

      {"Status":"Updating","Error":null,"StartTime":"2016-10-31T11:47:04.1526Z"},

    2. If the OsUpdateStatus displays the error below, you can ignore it since it only appears once, and will disappear the next time Windows Update is running. This can also be fixed by removing the Windows Update on the ASM host.

      "{"Status":"Error","Error":"2017-03-21T12:55:18.9300569Z: System.Management.Automation.RuntimeException: Cannot compare \"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\WindowsUpdate\\AU\" because it is not IComparable.\r\n"

    3. While Running Publish for HA, if you receive the error "Appliance working on a task", retry again later.


At this point, the CCE is running.

Confirm SBC state

  1. On SBC Edge WebUI, access Settings > Signaling Groups. On the CCE Signaling Group, ensure the "Service Status" is Up.

  2. Click on Counters and ensure Options are flowing in both directions and that the number of 2xx answers is matching.

    Request Counters

     

    1. If there are no Options flowing, log into the ASM using Remote Desktop.

    2. Execute the following command on a shell of the ASM Host:

       ipconfig /all

    3. Confirm :

      • "Ethernet adapter vEthernet (SfB CCE Corpnet Switch)" adapter MAC start by 00:90
      • "Ethernet adapter vEthernet (SfB CCE Internet Switch)" adapter MAC start by 00:10

    4. If unable to confirm, and the node has come directly form Manufacturing, a re-initialization will solve the issue.


At this point, both the CCE and SBC are up and running.

Confirm environmental state

Confirm the public SBC Edge FQDN is properly mapped to the External IP used in Configure CCE (via SBC Edge WebUI).

  1. From a PC with open internet access, run Nslookup on the public CCE FQDN. If the result is "Error: Requested name myccesite1.mydomain.com could not be resolved", the Public DNS server needs to be corrected.

    nslookup av.contoso.com

  2. Ensure the IP address returned is the Edge Server External Public IP. If the IP is not the correct one, you need to fix your Public DNS server.

    IP Address

     

  3. Ensure the Edge VM has proper DNS resolution.
    • Log into the ASM using Remote Desktop.
    • Connect to the the Edge VM, and open the Powershell command prompt.

    • Run the command below for all the domains assigned on your O365 tenant. If the command returns as Unknown, modify the firewall to open the port from "Internet facing DMZ" to the Internet.
