Lync 2013 + Front-End service stucks with “Starting”

I met a strange issue with Lync 2013: FE-service won’t start. Just hangs with Starting in the status.

Solution:

1. Try to reset a pool and then reboot a server:

Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -PoolFqdn “server.local.com” -ResetType FullReset

2. Check for the invalid certificates in TrustedRoot:

Get-Childitem cert:\LocalMachine\root -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.Issuer -ne $_.Subject} | Format-List *

If this command will find something just move the certificate to Intermediate … store.

Then reboot the server.
