Dear All

We have lync deployment with Edge server and public certificate is installed on the edge external interface and we enabled the federation with public IMs from the lync topology and external access policy, but we still cannot get the federation works

we are already federted with microsoft and many other companies with no issues but the public IMs not success ! is there a special configuration than the external access policy.

Do i have to have a special license for the public IMs provisining ??

Public IM will not work just by enabling it within the Lync access policies.  You must go through a provisioning process to activate.  Start here:

Federation with MSN and AOL are free.  Federation with Yahoo does require an extra license.  You can use the provisioning guide that Thamara refereneced.  Also here are some FAQs:

Dear All

I am trying to add the FQDN of the access edge service but the site give me error

 

	Access Edge Service
The Access Edge service FQDN you specified does not exist.

I have the same problem anyone know how to solve? I did all my testing environment lync works perfectly, I federation with other companies and even with office365. But when I try to register my company in PIC to federate with MSN get the following error The Access Edge service FQDN you specified does not exist.

I would like a response to this as well. I went through the PIC process when standing up my POC system and everything worked perfectly.

Now I'm trying to get my production system in place and I'm getting the message "The Access Edge service FQDN you specified does not exist".

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

No response, of course. Typical of Microsoft. If it was Google or Apple there would be very little issues.
