Lync Enterprise 2013 Front End Service not Starting

Problem: On Lync 2013 Enterprise Edition running on Windows Server 2012 the front end service will no start and just sits at Starting.

Scenerio: This problem seems to occur if you are deploying a single Lync 2013 Front End server on Windows server 2012. GoogleFu seems to point toward this being an SChannel or certificate issue. This was not the issue for.

Resolution: It appears that Lync 2013 enterprise that requires you to have 2 front end servers. Once we added the 2nd front end server to the Lync topology the front end service on both servers started with no issues.  In taking with Lync 2013 experts, it appears that something has changed with the Fabric Model in 2013 that requires redundancy from the start instead of being able to add it after the fact.
