Microsoft Lync Mobility Installation & Configuration

Microsoft Lync Mobility waiting is finally over & its available for download on http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=28356

Here I have covered all steps which required to configure Microsoft Lync Mobility. Initially I referred few documents but those are really complex & difficult to understand.

Microsoft Lync Server Prerequisites

1. Download Lync Server 2010 Hotfix KB 2493736 (Cumulative Update 4) from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=11551

2. Download Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Mobility Service and Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Autodiscover Service from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=28356

So let’s get started

Configure DNS Server,

First you need to create internal & external DNS records for lync mobility (i.e. for lyncdiscover.mytricks.in (external) point to the public IP which you going to use to publish lyncdiscover & lyncdiscoverinternal.corp.mytricks.local (internal) which is pointed to the Lync Standard edition Serve IP address.

Now we need to install the November Lync Cumulative Update (CU4) on each Lync server except edge server. Download Cumulative Update 4

After downloading all packages run LyncServerupdateinstaller.exe to install all CU4 updates. After installation you will below screen..

After installing Lync Cumulative Update 4 , we need to specifiy the Internal & External Lync Server listing ports as shown below

Open Lync Management shell & run below commands as per you environment,

For internal listing ports,

Set-CsWebServer –Identity lync.corp.mytricks.in -McxSipPrimaryListeningPort 5086

For external listing ports,

Set-CsWebServer –Identity lync.corp.mytricks.in -McxSipPrimaryListeningPort 5087

Note – lync.corp.mytricks.in is my Lync front End Server.

Now enable the topology by running below command,

Enable-CsTopology –verbose

Lync Mobility Installation,

This is very important step of Lync Mobility installation. Do not install McxStandalone.msi directly install it using Bootstarper.exe. Which I am going to cover in below steps,

But before Lync mobility installation few IIS changes needs to be made as shown below,

Open Lync Management Shell (Run as Administrator) & execute below commands,

Import-Module ServerManager

Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server, Web-Dyn-Compression

ServerManagerCMD.exe –Install Web-Dyn-Compression

Now Download the McxStandalone.msi installable and save it into the below directory on each Lync server where Lync Mobility will be installed.

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Lync Server\Deployment\cache\4.0.7577.0\setup\

And execute

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Deployment\Bootstrapper.exe

You will get below output,

To validate installation is completed successfully open IIS Manager & expand External & Internal Web sites, you will find Autodiscover & MCX Services & application pools as

shown below,

Now need to update Certificate,

We need to update Lync certificate to include new Lyncdiscoverinstal & lyncdiscover FQDN.

Launch the Lync Server Deployment Wizard on the Lync Front End and go to
