Lync Server 2010 lab deployment guide (Part 2)

  • 项目

In part 1 of this series we went through the deployment prerequisites, prepared the servers and prepared the environment for the deployment. In this part we will go through the planning tool, topology building and the server deployment.

1. First we need to create the necessary DNS records, we need the below records:

Default SIP domain

_sipinternaltls

lyncse.mbdomain.ad

Meeting URLs

meet.mbdomain.ad

10.1.1.40

Administrative access URL

admin.mbdomain.ad

10.1.1.40

Proxy internal interface

tmg.mbdomain.ad

10.1.1.1

Phone access URL

dialin.mbdomain.ad

10.1.1.40

2. The next step will be creating a simple internal only topology using the planning tool and export it to the central store using the topology builder. Using the planning tool I selected the Getting Started option

clip_image002

And used the below parameters:

Audio and Video Conferencing

Yes

Dial-In Conferencing

No

Web Conferencing

Yes

Enterprise Voice

No

Call Admission Control

No

Monitoring

No

Archiving

No

Federation

No

High Availability

No

Network Connection

Shared WAN

So my Central site will look like that

3. Then in the next page I added mbdomain.ad as my SIP domain as shown below

clip_image006

4. For the Bandwidth capacity planning, I changed the profile to be light (it’s a labJ) and left the rest as is

clip_image008

5. Skip the branch office page as it’s only one central site

6. For the External user access, I selected No since I’ll build this lab with no external access then I’ll discuss enabling the external access later in another series…

7. Click Draw and here is the topology

clip_image011

8. Double clicking my site showed the expanded topology as below

clip_image013

9. Now to export our topology to the Lync topology builder where we will modify few parameters and then export the topology to the central management server… Select File, Export, Export to Topology Builder

10. We need to import the topology using the Lync topology builder. Select the ‘Open Topology from a local file’ and choose the lab topology

11. As you see there are few points that needs attention and they are marked in Red-X

clip_image017

12. Expand the File Stores and Edit the configuration to use the Lync Server share that we created before

clip_image019

13. Now we need to configure the administration URL by editing the Lync Server 2010 (RC) root object from the left hand pane, click Simple URLs, under Administrative access URL type https://admin.mbdomain.ad

clip_image021

14. So now you should have the below

clip_image023

Now with the configuration in the builder we need to publish the configuration to the management server.

15. From the Lync root object select ‘Publish Topology’

clip_image024

16. Select Next

clip_image025

17. Ensure that the pool is the correct one and then Next

clip_image027

18. And finish

clip_image029

In the next part, we will deploy a local configuration store with the published configuration in the central management store on our Lync server.

    I advise you go through the published Lync documentation, you will find details about the process and why it is needed. You can find them here technet.microsoft.com/.../default.aspx

    Hi Khemarin, First note that Lync is stll RC, i'd advise you wait and till RTM to deploy it for your company... Regarding your question, you can edit the IP address and server names using the Lync planning tool or within the topology editor

    I have installed on Lync Pool. During the topology build, i have selected SQL Server Instance (SQL Server 2008 Sp1) and it created all require DB during the publish. When i have started installtion through Deployment wizard, first step was Install Local Configuration Store. I select Run and it install a local Copy of SQL 2008 Express Edition. What's the use of this ? What is the use of DB created on SQL Server ? I am able to logon to Lync Client but just wondering about this.
