In this post I will cover the basics of setting up Lync Server 2013 on

Windows Server 2012. Windows Server 2012 comes standard on

all OrcsWeb Windows Shared Servers, and is supported on

Dedicatedand Cloud Serversas well. I have included numerous

screenshots to make certain steps easier to follow.

In order to install Lync Server 2013, you will need some prerequisites in-place first:

AD-DS (Directory Services)

DNS

Web-Windows-Auth, Web-Asp-Net, Web-Log-Libraries, Web-Http-Tracing, Web-Stat-Compression,

Web-Default-Doc, Web-ISAPI-Ext, Web-ISAPI-Filter, Web-Http-Errors, Web-Http-Logging,

Web-Net-Ext, Web-Client-Auth, Web-Filtering, Web-Mgmt-Console, Web-Asp-Net45, Web-Net-
