Installing the Edge Server
Export Topology
The process for installing a local
configuration store on an Edge Server varies depending on whether an
Edge Server is part of the Active Directory domain and can access the
configuration store directly. Typically, the Edge Server is isolated
and requires a few extra manual steps to read the
topology. These steps involve exporting the entire topology to a ZIP
file and copying it to the Edge Server.
1. On an internal Lync Server, such as a Front End Server, open the Lync Server Management Shell.
2. Run the following command:
Export-CSConfiguration –FileName C:\LyncConfig.zip
3. Copy the exported file to the Edge Server before beginning the installation.
Installing a Local Configuration Store
To install any server role in Lync Server
2013, the target server must first have a local configuration store
installed and populated with the topology information.
1. Insert the Lync Server media on the Edge Server and launch Setup.exe, found in the Setup\amd64 folder.
2. Enter a location for the installation, and click Install.
Note
If you want to change the path for all Lync
components that will be installed on this server, you must change it in
this dialog box. For example, you might want to change the installation
from the system drive to a separate data drive.
3. Click Install or Update Lync Server System.
4. Under Step 1: Install Location Configure Store, click Run.
5. Because the Edge
Server is part of a workgroup and cannot access the Central Management
Store, select Import from a File, and then click Browse. If the Edge
Server is part of the same domain as your internal Lync Servers, it
will be able to read the Central Management Store directly.
6. Select the ZIP file that was exported earlier, and then click Next.
7. Click Finish when the topology is imported successfully.
Installing the Lync Server Components
The following steps will have the server read
topology information from the local configuration store, and then
install any prerequisites and Lync Server roles for which the server is
enabled.
1. Under Step 2: Setup or Remove Lync Server Components, click the Run button.
2. Click Next to begin the Edge Server installation.
3. When prompted to install the Microsoft Network service, click the Install button.
4. Click Finish when the installation completes.
