Setup Flow

Setup Flow

• Hardware and software infrastructure

• File storage (DFS) and permissions

• Request certificates• Internet Information

Services (IIS) and SQL configuration

• Simple URLs & DNS records

Preparing the infrastructure and

systems

• Using Topology Builder• Administrator rights

and permissions• Administration tools• Define and configure

pools• Edit and configure

simple URLs• Select the CMS

Defining the topology

• Publish the topology• Delegate setup• Setting up and installing FE

servers/pools• Install and configure the

CMS• Configure certificates for

FEs• Setting up Kerberos

authentication• Adding server roles

Finalizing and implementing the topology design

Changes in Setup and Deployment

Changes to path for RTCLOCAL and LYNCLOCALSupport of separate operating system and application drive

Custom database setup with Install-CsDatabase cmdletFour different ways for placing the databases files:

with no parameter for DB file locations-DatabasePath-UseDefaultSqlPaths-DatabasePathMap

Sysprep supportSupport creating an image using Sysprep that can easily

be specialized by providing a script to assist users in creating a SysPrep'able image.

Changes in Setup and Deployment

Client Deployment

Lync 2013 Client DeploymentNo standalone Lync 2013 Client MSI

Lync client part of Office 2013

Two Lync 2013 Client Deployment Options

Traditional MSI install as part of Office 2013 PreviewClick to Run installInstallation customization and process included in the Office 2013 Preview Resource Kit Documentation

Online Meeting Outlook add-in automatically installed with the Lync 2013 Preview client

Office 2013 Preview installs side by side with Office 2010 / Lync 2010 client.

Customizing Client Deployment

Office Customization ToolSetup Used to specify default installation location on the client and default organization name, additional network installation sources, the product key, end-user license agreement, display level, earlier versions of Office to remove, custom programs to run during installation, security settings, and Setup properties.

Features Used to configure user settings and to customize how Office features are installed. Administrators can use the OCT to specify initial default values of Office application settings for users. Users can modify most of the settings after the installation.

Additional content Used to add or remove files, add or remove registry entries, and configure shortcuts.

Outlook Used to customize a user's default Outlook profile, specify Exchange settings, add accounts, remove accounts and export settings, and specify Send\Receive groups.

Use the Office Customization Tool (OCT)Use CONFIG.XML to Perform Installation TasksUse Setup Command-Line Options to specify the Config.xml and configuring Client Bootstrapping Policies

CONFIG.XML

Specify the path of the network installation point.

Select the products to install.

Configure logging and the location of the Setup customization file and software updates.

Specify installation options, such as user name.

Copy the local installation source (LIS) to the user's computer without installing Office.

Add or remove languages from the installation.

Customizing Client Media Ports

Set-CsConferencingConfiguration

Setting Description Lync Server Management Shell cmdlet

Cmdlet parameters

Portrange\Enabled

Specifies whether the port ranges sent by the server should be used by the client for media and signaling. Used in conjunction with the subvalues MinMediaPort and MaxMediaPort.

CsConferencingConfiguration ClientMediaPortRangeEnabled

Portrange\MinMediaPort

Specifies the starting port number to use for media. Combines with MaxMediaPort to specify the range of ports. The recommended minimum range is 40 ports.

CsConferencingConfiguration

ClientMediaPort (represents the starting port number to use for client media)

Portrange\MaxMediaPort

Specifies the highest port number to use for media. Combines with MinMediaPort to specify the range of ports. The recommended minimum range is 40 ports.

CsConferencingConfiguration

ClientMediaPortRange (indicates the total number of ports available for client media; default is 40)

Client Enhanced Privacy Mode

Enable Enhanced Privacy ModeRestricts presence visibility only to people in your contact listEnabling allows users to select which option they prefer (all people see presence vs only contact list sees presence)Get-CsPrivacyConfiguration | Set-CsPrivacyConfiguration -EnablePrivacyMode $True

Only works for Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 Preview clients

OCS 2007 R1 and OCS 2007 R2 clients do not honor the enhanced privacy mode setting
