Prepare Environment

Install .Net 3.5 Framwork

When AD DS installed Role Service option can see.

Run this cmdlet on PS (As an Administrator)

Above command will install all the features required and reboot the machine.

Or else you can do this on One by one…… (Check the Planning doc (Ch-4) its shows which Features need to be)

Now go to the setup folder of Lync Server 2010, and double click setup.exe

Install Visual C++ Redistributable

Deployment Start

Now you will be presented with a familiar looking wizard (If you did OCS 2007 R2) that will guide you through the install process. The Active Directory preparation steps and provided. This will Prep Schema, Forest and Domain.

Before this check AD condition of the PDC and other ADC.

Schema Prep

Forest Prep

Use as a Local domain(Target Domain)

Domain Prep

Prep Complete

Give login Account to CSAdministrator, RTCUniversalServerAdmins and RTCUniversalServerUser Priviledges.

Main deployment wizard screen and select the option to Prepare first Standard Edition Server (top right hand option). This will install a copy of SQL 2008 Express, Lync Server core installation files and create an RTC database – let this take its course and once complete you’ll be presented with the following dialogue.

Preparation Complete

Prepare single Standard Edition server

Finish the First Std server prep

Create a topology

Go to the Deployment Wizard > Install Topology Builder

Open the topology builder (TB) via the start menu, as explained earlier Lync offers a difference in Architecture to OCS 2007, OCS2007R2.

The Central Management Store (CMS) is a SQL database where you publish your chosen topology, this takes away the dependency for Lync to require the AD for configuration purposes and is required to complete the installation. Its connected with LsCP,PS.TB .

Topolgy builder > Create New topology

Define SIP Domain on topology,

Sip domain is domain which we prep and put it like "uctechies.com"

Define Site name

Need to show the Front End as a Current machine FQDN

> I’ll also be option for the Standard Edition Server Topology Ent (they’ll be no high availability and an additional SQL Express instance, this will host the user and application store and will be installed automatically upon publishing the policy).

Collocation (Mediation Server)

I’ll choose to collocate the Mediation Server, but in live environment should be think about server resources and recommendations.

Use default settings on next steps

Share should have Read/Right -

create it locally and ensure the account you are currently using to run the topology builder has run the topology builder has read/write access to this folder. I’ll call my folder and share name “Share”.

Need to modify topology for https://admin.zss.int and install your CMS on (all things being equal you should have one option here, your previously specified pool FQDN). And Publish it.

Next the Central Management Store is created. When the wizard completes a text based to-do list can be presented with remaining tasks, you’ll need to create three DNS A records for the simple URLs specified – these should be directed to the IP address of your

Lync Server (I won’t cover this). I will cover the final install step – the server components install.

Create DNS Record and also A Records on AD DNS

DNS Records

To connect client (Automatically) from Internal DNS Server and Host offering this Service should have to have FQDN.

To finish your server installation you need to head back to the Lync Server Deployment Wizard, now accessible via the start menu. Choose Install or Update Lync Server System to continue

Choose step 1 to install a local CMS and choose the option to retrieve directly from the CMS.
