Audiocodes Mediant SBA Lyss error

Bumped into an error:

Log Name:      Lync Server

Source:        LS Storage Service

Date:          5/16/2017 5:54:02 PM

Event ID:      32071

Task Category: (4006)

Level:         Error

Keywords:      Classic

User:          N/A

Computer:     xxx

Description:

Storage Service had a failure while refreshing its calculation of DB space used.

DB Space Used Refresh Error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Cause: The Timer task to refresh the DB space used value ran into an exception. This action will be retried and should auto recover.

Resolution:

Check event details. If problem persists, notify your organization's support team with the event details.

For the moment, not clear what causing it.

Option I consider for the moment are:

install latest Lync CU

install windows patches inside SBA (esp. .NET)

reset fabric

repair fabric

redeploy CS databases

repair SBA image and re-deploy from scratch
