How about the clients? Is it necessary to go around and upgrade them also?

Hi,

It is not necessary to upgrade them, as Eval clients will work with the RTM Lync server but sooner or later you will have to upgrade them as they will stop working after the evaluation period ends.

The fix was as follows:  run the following command: Cluster       /forcecleanup Then run the following: Start-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup "DAGname" -MailboxServer  "DRNodeName" After the first command you will find that the DR node can see the other nodes in the clu
