Now the prerequisites (based upon a Windows 2008 R2 install, 2008 圆4 is supported, but unless your organisation has licensing constraints I would strongly recommend you go down the R2 route).Within this guide I have Active Directory Certificate Services deployed for certificate generation.Add to your domain ( the installation will fail when attempting to deploy on a DC – see comments below) and login as domain admin or equivalent.Apply all Windows Updates, probably goes without saying, right?.D: rather than C: most of the program files and database(s) end up on C: I’ve already installed a fresh copy of Windows 2008 R2 Standard on a Hyper-V 2008 R2 host, as this is a lab install I have only allocated 2gb of VM RAM (not supported in production) and a 72gb VM fixed disk (single partition) – strangely during the install should you choose to install on a secondary partition i.e.So first off I’ll run you through some high-level preparation steps/assumptions: This guide ( update: video version now available here) will run through a consolidated standard edition install (without voice gateway integration, I’ll try and come back to this later), whereby all roles will be deployed on a single virtual machine except monitoring, archiving and edge roles – yes this is a supported scenario! This major new release offers a radical difference to the previous architecture and unlike its predecessors (Communications Server 2007 R1/2 and to a certain degree Live Communications Server 2005) offers a streamlined and consolidated deployment, great for smaller scale implementations which are not overly abundant to date. As many of you may well know the long awaited public release candidate RTM of Microsoft Lync 2010 (previously Communications Server ‘14’) is now available for download.
