Short Answer, Don’t start fresh.<\/p>\n

If in a clustered topology with a dedicated CMS. Remove from topology,\u00a0 add new server with new name to topology and redeploy fresh.<\/p>\n

My Expereince:<\/p>\n

Step 1) Restore LyncVM created on resource domain, change hostname.
\nStep 2) Stop All Lync Services
\nStep 3) Create SRV record for _sipinteraltls, and 3 a records (admin, meet, dialin)
\nStep 4) Remove old CSM, else topogly deployment will fail. (Remove-CSconfigurationStorelocation)
\nStep 4.1) Extend Storage to 80Gig, else publishing will fail. (https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/skypeforbusiness\/troubleshoot\/server-install-or-uninstall\/error-when-install-lync-server#:~:text=This%20issue%20occurs%20because%20the,16%20GB%20of%20free%20space.)
\nStep 5) Open Topology Builder, if host name same, open file, if new host create new topology. Publish
\nFAIL<\/p>\n

Step 1) Cloned Server
\nStep 2) Removed from Domain (disconnected)
\nStep 3) changed Hostname, and joined Domain
\nStep 4) Run Deployment Wizard -> Prep First Standard eidtion server
\nStep 5) Run Deployment Wizard -> Setup or Remove Lync Components -> Step 2
\nFAIL<\/p>\n

Step 1) Cloned Server
\nStep 2) Removed from Domain (disconnected)
\nStep 3) remove all local SQL instances
\nStep 4) Delete C:\\CSData
\nStep 5) Rename, Join Domain
\nStep 6) Run Deployment Wizard, Prepare First standard edition server
\nStep 7) Adjust DNS (_sipinternaltls, admin, dialin, meet)
\nStep 8) Remove-CSConfigurationStoreLocation

  1. Remove Skype for Business server from topology<\/li>\n
  2. Publish topology.<\/li>\n
  3. Run Skype for Business Server Deployment Wizard local setup on server to remove Lync components (or run the bootstrapper)<\/li>\n
  4. Uninstall SQL Server. Front-ends have LyncLocal and RTCLocal instances. Remove both, rebooting between instance removal. \u00a0Edge only has RTCLocal instance.<\/li>\n
  5. Remove SQL Server 2012 Management Objects (x64)<\/li>\n
  6. Remove SQL Server 2012 Native Client (x64)<\/li>\n
  7. Remove Microsoft System CLR Types for SQL Server 2012 (x64)<\/li>\n
  8. Remove Microsoft Skype for Business Server 2015, Front End Server<\/li>\n
  9. Remove Microsoft\u00a0Skype for Business Server 2015, Core Components<\/li>\n
  10. Delete leftover data:
    \nDelete C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server
    \nDelete C:Program FilesMicrosoft Skype for Business Server 2015
    \nDelete C:CSData<\/li>\n
  11. Rename server and restart<\/li>\n
  12. Wait until AD replication completes with new server name.<\/li>\n
  13. Open Topology Builder, add a new server to existing pool and publish. (If this is a SBA or Standard Edition Server, the pool and the server FQDN is identical.)<\/li>\n
  14. Reinstall Skype for Business Server 2015components and all cumulative updates<\/li>\n
  15. Generate new certificate with updated server name and assign to appropriate services using Skype for Business Server 2015 Deployment Wizard.<\/li>\n
  16. Restart all servers in pool at same time (only relevant for front-end servers in an Enterprise pool).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Don’t do it. It’s so much easier to start fresh then deal with this garbage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
