Hey Prajwal i have installed FE in separate PC and install ADDS tools in it to access schema and logged in with user which is member of schema admin group.
but after reboot in FE ADDS service is not starting and i have checked that Domain controller is reachable from that server using netdom query.
would you suggest troubleshooting steps to start ADDS service on FE?

Click on View logs and check what exactly is the error message. You can paste the log file in the comment section too. Let me know what is the error.

In reply to Prajwal Desai. thank you so much for the info. I will check to make sure that the second server is not running AD service. Yes my second server is the child domain. I thought that will fixed the domain issue, I guess you are right, I will make sure the AD service is not running on my second server.. thx

Hi Paul, Microsoft does not recommend installing Lync server 2010/2013 on a server running AD domain services.
Can you check if the server 2 is running AD services or is it a child domain controller.. Ideally you shouldn’t get that message it its not a domain controller.

Installing the Lync (Front end server) is shown in this post :- https://www.prajwaldesai.com/step-by-step-installation-of-lync-server-2013-standard-edition-part-3-installing-lync-server-2013/

Hi Prajwal thank you for your support. I’m currently trying to install lync server 2013 in a production environment? I have two Server 2012 running. Server one is my primary Domain Controller and server two is my Lync Server 2013? The problem is on server two? I kept getting the “Domain Controller” error message saying I cannot install Lync Server 2013 on a Domain Controller? The problem is you have to have Domain Controller with AD in order to install Lync Server 2013? Correct? You mention to install the Front End on a different server in order to resolve this? How do I install Front End only? Is there a separate component for this in Lync Server 2013. Or how do I install just the AD component only on my server two so that my Lync Server 2013 can install without this Domain Controller? Any help will be very appreciate?
