Lync Front Service hangs on "starting" status on Lync 2013 Servers.



The common cause of Lync FE servers service to hang is related to non self-assigned certificates found on the Trusted Root Certificate store. Lync servers does use HTTP/s to communicate each other and the issue mentioned will break this behavior. Until such certs removed, FE service wont come back to its health state.


Step # 1
 Identify the certs causing this issue, run below PS from problem Lync FE Server.
