      Windows Powershell 2.0
                 Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 with SP1
         Windows Installer Version 4.5

   Internet Information Services (IIS)

Static Content
Default Document
HTTP Errors
ASP.NET
.NET Extensibility
Internet Server API (ISAPI) Extensions
ISAPI Filters
HTTP Logging
Logging Tools
Tracing
Windows Authentication
Request Filtering
Static Content Compression
IIS Management Console
IIS Management Scripts and Tools
Anonymous Authentication (This is installed by default when IIS is installed.)
Client Certificate Mapping Authentication

     Windows Media Format Runtime
     Microsoft Silverlight
     Messaging Queue (MSMQ)
               Software Automatically Installed by Lync Server 2010

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable 
Microsoft Visual J# version 2.0 Redistributable
URL Rewrite Module version 2.0 Redistributable
SQL Server 2008 Express SP1
SQL Server 2008 Native Client

    b.  DNS Requirements

We need to edit DNS record for the Lync pool to include the new servers. We need to add DNS A records point to our new FE servers (Testlyncfe01 & Testlyncfe02) for the FQDN of our Lync pool (TestLyncPool01.heiway.net) and DNS A records for Microsoft Lync Server 2010 client auto configuration point to new FEs under SIP zone in internal DNS. Also update the records with new Lync Front End Server’s IPs on sip.domain.local and sip.domain.com as well.

c. Certificate Requirements

Add 2 more SAN Entries “Testlyncfe03 and Testlyncfe04” on the Certificate (TestLyncPool01.heiway.net) from Existing Frontend Server (Testlyncfe01 & Testlyncfe02). Install the new certificate on the all the Front End Servers (Testlyncfe01Testlyncfe02, Testlyncfe03 and Testlyncfe04)

d. HLB Requirements

Add the new Front End Servers on the Hardware Load balancer and update the new certificate on HLB  


Ports needs to be open between new Front End Servers and Edge Servers.

2. Deployment Process

Actions
Responsible Team
Installation of Pre-requisites on the Server

DNS A and SRV Records creation and modification

OPCO Firewall configuration



                                            I.            Log on to the server (TestLyncfe01/TestLyncfe02) where you installed Topology Builder.
                                          II.            Open “Lync Server Topology Builder” from the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 menu.
                                        III.            On the Welcome page, click Download Topology from Existing Deployment. Click OK.
                                         IV.            A “Save Topology As” box will come up. Choose a location, name the file and save it. (Keep the “.tbxml” extension.)
                                          V.            In Topology Builder, click to expand the Server Role tree view.
                                        VI.            Right-click “Enterprise Pool (TestLyncPool01)”.
                                        VII.            Click New Server.
                                        VIII.            On the “Define the Server” page that comes up. Enter your Lync New FE FQDN (TestLyncfe05.domain.com), Enter IP address (xx.xx.xx.xx) on Primary IP address & PSTN IP Address and click OK.
Notes: Repeat the above for TestLyncfe06 with FQDN as TestLyncfe05.domain.com and IP Address as xx.xx.xx.xx

g.       Publish the Edited Topology

                                                                    I.            Right-click the Lync Server 2010 node.
                                                                  II.            Click Publish Topology.
                                                                III.            Click Next on the first “Publish the Topology” page.
                                                                IV.            Next, you have the “Create Databases” page. Select the databases you want to publish.
Click OK once you have selected an option. Then click Next
                                                                   V.            Select a Front End pool on the “Select Central Management Server” page.
Click
 Next to complete the publishing process.
                                                                  VI.            When it is done, click Finish. Now the new server needs a local configuration store.

h.       Install the Local Configuration Store on the New Server

                                                                    I.            Take the Lync Server installation media. Load it on the new server (TestLyncfe05.domain.com).
                                                                  II.            Browse to setupamd64Setup.exe and click OK.
                                                                  III.            Click OK on the “Lync Server 2010 Installation Location” page. Accept the license terms.

i.       Install Lync Server 2010 on the New Server

                                                                    I.            On TestLyncfe05, On the “Microsoft Lync Server 2010 – Deployment Wizard” page, click Next until you get to “Step 2: Setup or Remove Lync Server Components”.
                                                                  II.            Click Run.
                                                                III.            Click Next on the “Setup Lync Server Components” page.
                                                                IV.            Click Finish when the task status completes.
                                      Notes: Repeat the above steps on TestLyncfe05.domain.com

j.       Configure a Default Certificate for the New Server

                                                                    I.            On the “Microsoft Lync Server 2010 – Deployment Wizard” page, click Next to get to “Step 3: Request, Install or Assign Certificates”.

                                                                  II.            Click Run.
                                                                  III.            Click Next to start the new Lync Server's services.
                                                  IV         Once all services start up, click Finish
   4. Test Plan

We will check the Lync Services on TestLyncfe05 and TestLyncfe06 by performing below tests,
1.       Check the Lync Services
2.       Telnet the required ports
3.       Check the Event Viewer for error logs
1.       Stop the services on TestLyncfe01TestLyncfe02TestLyncfe03 and TestLyncfe04 to check the traffic.

5.     Impact and Risk

N   Impact and risk associated with this change as the existing Lync Front End Servers will be install with new certificate one by one
