Today I started installation of Standard version of Microsoft Lync server. There are some prerequisites for OS where Lync server will run. Here is a quick step-by-step howto:

• Installation of .NET Framework 3.5. Run following commands in Admin Powershell:
  • Import-Module ServerManager
  • Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core

• In same Powershell windows run following command to install IIS Feature with all required components:

  • Add-WindowsFeature Web-Static-Content,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Http-Errors,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Net-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Http-Logging,Web-Log-Libraries,Web-Http-Tracing,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-Filtering,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-Scripting-Tools,Web-Client-Auth

• Install RSAT-ADDS by running following command in same Powershell windows:
  • Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS

• Reboot server
• We need to install Windows Media Format Runtime. We can do it by running following command from elevated command prompt:

  • %systemroot%\system32\dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:%windir%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Media-Format-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514.mum /ignorecheck

• Press “Y” to reboot server again.

Tomorrow we will prepate Schema, Domain and Forest to support Lync 2010.

Today I connected to Windows 2012 server an notices weird little arrow in the left upper corner (full screen):

Maybe this will be usefull for some people. I can use only “Start” 🙂

You can access same Remote commands even not in Full Screen RDP:

Enjoy,
