Ok, first real post….
And yes this probably has a been covered by someone smarter and sexier than I but you have to start somewhere…..
Installed a Lync 2013 Standard Edition server on a Windows Server 2012 R2 server (my first, in the hope chest you go :)) and though I had a couple of odd issues while bootstrapping (SQL Express), it generally went well. Until-I-Started-The-Services. Everything started ok but I noticed a couple of odd event log messages:
LS MCU Infrastructure 61029
The process RtcHost(7612) received an invalid client certificate.

Certificate issuer name: CN=BLA, DC=BLA, DC=BLA, DC=BLA, DC=BLA.
Certificate error: 2148204816.
Followed by Incessant LS MCU Infrastructure 61035 errors

Flabbergasted and out of ideas I turned to BING, yes thats right, BING. Google is the devil. Anyways I came across a couple posts but ultimately this resolved my issue…
