Lab OverviewThe lab that I will be building in this article is fairly straightforward. There are four servers in this lab the domain controller, an Enterprise Edition Front End Server, a SQL Server Back End Server, and aMonitoring/Archiving Server. The domain controller has the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS),Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) and DNS Server roles installed. The Enterprise Edition Front

End Server has Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Edition installed. The Back End Server has SQL Server 2008SP1 installed. The Monitoring/Archiving Server has Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server2008 SP1 installed. The following figure provides an overview of this lab environment.

The lab environment that I am building in this article will provide internal IM and Presence, as well asMonitoring and Archiving. There are no additional features that the lab will provide upon thecompletion of these steps. However, additional features can be added thereafter.

I did have some specific requirements when I built this lab, which translated to some additionalconfiguration. These include:

The back-end database needs to be on a dedicated named instance as opposed to the defaultinstance.

The Monitoring Server role and the Archiving Server role need to be collocated on the sameserver.

The Monitoring and Archiving databases need to be separated from the back-end database; Idecided to host these databases on the Monitoring/Archiving Server.

The Monitoring and Archiving databases need to be installed on separate, dedicated namedinstances.

Prepare the Lync 2010 Enterprise Edition Server InfrastructureThe following sections outline the step to prepare the Lync 2010 Enterprise Edition server infrastructure.

Set Up Enterprise Edition Hardware and System InfrastructureBefore we can proceed with this lab, we need to create the necessary virtual machines. For my Lync

2010 Enterprise Edition lab, this includes four virtual machines. For the purpose of this lab, I created thevirtual machines in Hyper-V. The details of the virtual machines are shown in the table below.

Virtual Machine Name / Hostname IP Address Server RolesLYNCLAB2DC 10.1.20.1 /24 Active Directory Domain Services

DNS ServerActive Directory Certificate Services

LYNCLAB2FE 10.1.20.2 /24 Front End ServerLYNCLAB2BE 10.1.20.3 /24 Back End ServerLYNCLAB2MA 10.1.20.4 /24 Monitoring / Archiving

This article builds on my previous article Step-By-Step Guide to Preparing a Lab Environment for LyncServer 2010 . In the previous article, I created the virtual machine for the domain controller, installed ADDS, and installed AD CS. You will need to perform the steps outlined in my previous article beforeproceeding with this lab. Note: for this lab, I created a new domain controller and domain calledLYNCLAB2DC and lynclab2.local, respectively.

Thereafter, I followed the steps in my How to Create a Lab using Hyper-V Server in Windows 2008 R2 article to create the other virtual machines (LYNCLAB2FE, LYNCLAB2BE, and LYNCLAB2MA).

Create Service AccountsIn this lab, I chose to run the SQL services under the credentials of an Active Directory service account.Before I can install SQL Server, I need to create this service account.

1. Log on to LYNCLAB2DC with the LYNCLAB2\Administrator account.2. Go to Start , click Administrative Tools , and then click Active Directory Users and Computers .3. Navigate to the Users container.4. On the Action menu, click New , and then click User .5. On the New Object - User window, enter the information as per below, and then click Next .

Configure Windows Firewall for SQL Server For a Standard Edition deployment, firewall exceptions are created automatically during Microsoft LyncServer 2010 Setup. However, for Enterprise Edition deployments, you must configure the firewallexceptions manually on the Microsoft SQL Server Back End Server, as well as the server(s) hosting the


34/119



Monitoring and Archiving databases. Furthermore, when named instances are used in place of thedefault instance, additional configuration for Windows Firewall for SQL Server is required, specifically:

You must create a port exception for the TCP port that the Lync Server 2010 SQL Server servicelistens on.

You must create a port exception for UDP port 1434 for the SQL Server Browser service.

On a SQL Server installation that is hosted as a named instance, the SQL Server service uses a dynamicTCP port assignment to listen on. The SQL Server Browser service is hosted by the SQL Serverinstallation. The SQL Server Browser service listens for client application requests for named instanceson UDP port 1434. The SQL Server Browser service responds to these client requests by providingspecific TCP port information for that named instance.

In order to configure Windows Firewall for SQL Server, we need to:

1. Locate the dynamic TCP port information for a SQL Server named instance that will host the

Lync Server 2010 databases2. Configure the Windows Firewall port exceptions to enable access to the SQL Server service3. Configure the Windows Firewall port exceptions to enable access to the SQL Server Browser

Since I may want to add additional Front End Servers to this lab in the future, I am creating an A recordfor the pool, which will be used when I define the topology. For now, this A record will point to the IPaddress of the Front End Server (LYNCLAB2FE). This allows me to have some flexibility down the roadshould I decide to add a second Front End Server to the Enterprise Pool.

Here are the steps to configure DNS:1. Log to LYNCLAB2DC as LYNCLAB2\Administrator.2. Go to Start , select Administrative Tools , and then select DNS.3. In the Console Tree , expand LYNCLAB2DC, expand Forward Lookup Zones , and then select

lynclab2.local .4. Right-click on lynclab2.local in the Console Tree , and then select New Host (A or AAA ). 5. In the New Host dialog box, type pool1 into the Name field, enter 10.1.20.2 into the IP Address

field , and then click Add Host .

6. On the confirmation that the host record was created, click OK.

Create the Lync File ShareThe user account that we will use to publish the topology must have full control (read/write/modify) onthe file share in order for Topology Builder to configure the required permissions. Because Im goingwith an Enterprise Edition deployment, the file share cannot be located on the Front End Server. As aresult, I decided to create the file share on the Monitoring/Archiving Server.

1. Log on to LYNCLAB2MA as LYNCLAB2\Administrator.2. Go Start , click Computer , and then click Local Disk (C:). 3. Right-click in the Details Pane , select New , and then select Folder .4. Name the new folder LyncShare .5. Right-click on the LyncShare folder, select Properties , click on the Sharing Tab , and then click

Advanced Sharing .6. On the Advanced Sharing dialog box, select the Share this folder option, leave the Share Name

field as LyncShare .
