Title: Lync 2013 Setup (Step 3 - Second Lync Front End Server Install)
Created: 2/4/2013
Description:
We have been building a Lync 2013 environment in an Enterprise configuration. This is the
third step in the process. Here is a recap of what has been done in the prior posts.
o In Step 1: We built the SQL back-end database for the Lync Enterprise Pool
o In Step 2: We built one of the Lync Front End Enterprise Edition servers
o In this post (Step 3): We build a second Lync Front End Enterprise Edition server so that
we will have a highly availability solution.
Lync Front End (Step 2)
SQL Database (Step 1)
Lync Front End (Step 3)
Please note that in Lync 2013 the best practice is to have three Lync Front-End Enterprise
Edition servers in a pool. To add a third server to the pool, just repeat this post to build a third
server. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412996.aspx for more information.
We are building the architecture described on: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-

1 Create Lync 2013 FE VM: Create a new virtual machine for Lync 2013.
See the earlier posts for building a base Windows 2012 VM.
Copy it and make a virtual machine for Lync 2013.
Lync 2013 supports Windows 2012. For a list of the supported operating systems for Lync 2013
are listed here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412883.aspx
Set IP address
Set server name.
Join machine to the domain
Set IP address
2 Prepare Lync Server - Load Operating System Pre-requisites
See the following article: http://technet.microsoft.com/e8103.aspx
Review for pre-reqs: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398686.aspx

Lync requires Windows PowerShell 3.0 and .NET Framework 4.5
I checked the base install of Windows 2012 server and both are already installed.
2.1 Enable HTTP Activation
Need to add HTTP Activation
The following are added by the setup.

2.3 Enable Media Foundation Add Media Foundation feature
Documents said to load Windows Desktop Experience ; only found Media Foundation
2.4 Load IIS Features Go to: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398686.aspx
Open a PowerShell window
Copy and paste the powershell command for the IIS features to add:
Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS, Web-Server, 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-

3 Load Lync 2013 Software Load Lync 2013 Software CD
Press Install
Prepare Active Directory should be complete from building the first server.
Select “Install Administrative Tools”

4 Lync 2013 Topology Builder Launch Lync 2013 Topology Builder
Select Download Topology
4.1 Add Lync 2013 to existing Lync 2013 Enterprise Pool
Navigate to the Lync Server > Site Name (e.g. IrvineMTC) > Lync Server 2013 > Enterprise Edition Front End pools > Pool Name (pool13a)
10
Right-click on the pool name and select “New Server”
Note, that we need to restart the machines in the pool.
Enter the FQDN and IP address of the second Front End Enterprise Edition Server.
11
4.2 Publish the Topology
12
Note, that the pool is about to be reset when you add a second node to it.

5 Install local configuration store
See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412874.aspx
Launch Lync 2013 Deployment Wizard
Select “Install or Update..”
14
Lync 2013 uses the same install process in that it use the CMS to learn the configuration of the server.

7 Request certificates
7.1 Request Default Certificate
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398995.aspx
Each Standard Edition server or Front End Server requires up to four certificates: the oAuthTokenIssuer
certificate, a default certificate, a web internal certificate, and a web external certificate
