Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Multitenant Pack for Partner Hosting Deployment Guide

  • Artikel

 

The Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Multitenant Pack for Partner Hosting is an extension of Microsoft Lync Server 2010 software that is designed to allow service providers and system integrators to customize a Lync Server 2010 deployment and offer it as a service to their customers. This guide describes how to deploy and configure a basic architecture.

Get the guide here and the pack from MVLSC

I just read the document and the key takeaways are:

  • Edge Servers only act as the first point of contact from requests coming from federated partners in a hosted deployment
    • In a Lync Server Multitenant Hosting Pack deployment, incoming requests from tenant users go straight to Directors, bypassing Edge Servers. The Directors authenticate tenant users’ requests and redirect them to the appropriate Front End pool
    • You must configure the DNS records for the initial SIP domain. Configure the SRV record to point to the Director pool, not the Edge Server pool.
    • The Directors require public IP addresses that do not use NAT.
  • You must run the Lync Server Update tool on each server in your deployment after you complete the Setup or Remove Lync Server Components page in the Lync Server Deployment Wizard
  • Additional task must be performed before and after you have done a default Lync deployment
  • The Lync Server platform must be configured to treat all clients as external to ensure that their private and public IP addresses are provided to Exchange UM when calls are transferred from the Front End Server to the Exchange UM server.
  • To prevent a tenant from communicating with another domain you must add that domain to the tenant’s Block list
  • You need to add new SIP domains to the certificate
  • You can’t use Response group, Team call,delegation, Private line, Call park, Outgoing DID manipulation,
  • No Public IM connectivity with Windows Live, AOL, Yahoo, and XMPP

This was what I could see was different from a normal Lync Deployment, and you need to run some scripts to get it up running.

What’s Available in the Lync Server Multitenant Hosting Pack

The features that integrate with other components and applications include the following:

· Presence   A collection of attributes that provides an indication of a person's status, activity, location, willingness to communicate, and contact information.

· Instant messaging (IM)    A form of real-time text-based communication.

· Data and desktop sharing   A feature that allows users to share files, use whiteboard, and display their desktop to a meeting or to conversation participants.

· Conferencing   Two-way video and audio transmissions between users in multiple locations.

· Unified Messaging   An application that consolidates a user's voice mail, fax, and email into one mailbox, so that the user only needs to check a single location for messages, regardless of type. The email server is the platform for all types of messages, making it unnecessary to maintain separate voice mail and email infrastructures.

· Private branch exchange (PBX) replacement   UC integration with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems can replace traditional phone exchange systems.

Lync Server Multitenant Hosting Pack partner feature sets include:

· Appliances   Hand and head set I/O devices.

· Conferencing server gateway video   Real-time IP video, voice, and data services.

· Mobility solution   Allows mobile phones the same access to services as a standard desktop handset.

· Audio conferencing provider   Integration with hosted conferencing systems.

· Short Message Service (SMS)    Text messaging systems used by phones and mobile communication systems.

    Folks, we just discovered an error in this white paper, which we will work to remedy. In section 8.10 Configure Tentant Meeting URL, on page 33, "TenantId" should be changed to "Tenant". Thanks!

    Is there something we should know? According to this (which was written by microsoft) Lync online has PSTN calling and call controls and hosted voicemail through exchange online um? Last time I checked lync online does not have this available yet. Are they saying this is going to be available shortly?

    Thanks for posting about the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Multitenant Pack for Partner Hosting. Please note that an updated document will be posted this week with a correction that Lync Mobile is not supported in the Hosting Pack. We also created a new site for the Hosting Pack here: social.technet.microsoft.com/.../7325.microsoft-lync-server-2010-multitenant-pack-for-partner-hosting-resources.aspx
