Before you configure the Lync Server Sync tool, you must install the required files on the identity life cycle manager server. The files required for the Lync Server Sync tool are included in the Lcssync directory of the Lync Server 2010 Resource Kit.

To install the Lync Server Sync tool

  1. On the server running the identity life cycle manager, in the Lync Server 2010 Resource Kit, go to the Lscssync directory.

  2. Copy all the files in this directory to the following directory on the server running the identity life cycle manager: %drive%:\Program Files\Microsoft Identity Integration Server\Extensions.

    Important:
    For Forefront Identity Manager, the folder will be located at: %Program Files%\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Synchronization Service\Extensions

  3. In Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), create an organizational unit (OU), or verify that a target OU for your contact objects exists on Lync Server in the central forest.

  4. Go to the Extensions folder, and then open Lcscfg.xml.

  5. Use the following format to modify the <target-ou> tag to include the target OU of the central forest:

    <rules-extension-properties>

    <lcssync-mas>

    <lcsma name="Lcs Central Forest">

    <target-ou>OU=contacts,DC= yourdomain ,DC=com</target-ou>

    </lcsma>

    </lcssync-mas>

    </rules-extension-properties><target-ou>path to contact organizational unit</target OU>

    For example:

    <target-ou>OU=contactsDC=contosoDC=com</target OU>

  6. If necessary, you can modify Logging.xml to change the file name and logging level. The following example shows the default values in the xml:

    <logging>

    <use-single-log>false</use-single-log>

    <file-name>lcssync.log</file-name>

    <logging-level>1</logging-level>

    </logging>
