After decommissioning an old Domain Controller I started to see Error 31196 crop up in our Lync server error logs, one of the messages I saw said-
Collaboration platform has failed to provision the data. Collaboration platform has failed to provision the data because of the following exception: Exception:
Microsoft.Rtc.Collaboration.ProvisioningFailureException:Cannot read contacts from Active Directory: Active Directory server “<yourservernamehere>” is not available. Try again later.

The main key point about this error was the error was coming from the LS Response Group Service, so you know what….I restarted the service and boom this error went away 🙂 Simple fix of the day!
Had the same issue after one of the AD servers went down.
Restarting the service did the trick 🙂
Thanks!
Had same error,
it removed the warning after restart
many thanks.
Had this issue after a DC went down for a few minutes – service restart worked perfectly!
Thanks!!
Yes it went away from this frond end, because was master, after restart RSG on this servers, master took role next server and this error started ptompting there….
