[SOLVED] Is CMS Replication required for ApplicationPool also?

Is CMS Replication required for ApplicationPool also?

When I run the command Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus I get UpToDate : True for my domain but it comes False for my ApplicationPool.

UpToDate           : True
ReplicaFqdn        : ****.*****
LastStatusReport   : 07-08-2014 11:42:26
LastUpdateCreation : 07-08-2014 11:42:26
ProductVersion     : 5.0.8308.0

UpToDate           : False
ReplicaFqdn        : MyApplicationPool.****.*****
LastStatusReport   :
LastUpdateCreation : 08-08-2014 15:16:03
ProductVersion     :

UpToDate           : False
ReplicaFqdn        : ****.*****
LastStatusReport   :
LastUpdateCreation : 08-08-2014 15:10:59

Am I on the right track? Have I created my ApplicationPool wrongly?

Solution

Yes, UCMA applications running on an app server generally require access to the CMS, so replication should be enabled.

On the app server, you'd need to:

Ensure the "Lync Server Replica Replicator Agent" service is running
Run Enable-CsReplica in the management shell
Run Enable-CsTopoloy
Then run Invoke-CSManagementStoreReplication to force a replication

I've noticed that it often takes a while for the CMS to be replicated to the app server, so you might need to run Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus a few times before you see UpToDate change to True.
