To successfully complete this procedure, you should be logged on to the server minimally as a local administrator and a domain user.

Before you configure and install the Front End Server for Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Standard Edition or the first Front End Server in a pool, you install and configure the server role and Web Services for Internet Information Services (IIS).

Important:
If your organization requires that you locate IIS and all Web Services on a drive other than the system drive, you can change the installation location path for the Lync Server files in the Setup dialog box when you initially install the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Administrative tools. You install the Administrative tools before installing IIS. If you install the Setup files to this path, including OCSCore.msi, the rest of the Lync Server 2010 files will be deployed to this drive as well. For details, see Install Lync Server Administrative Tools. For details about how to relocate the INETPUB deployed by Windows Server Manager when installing IIS, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=216888.

You can install IIS 7.0 or 7.5 from Server Manager or by using the command line. Run the following command from the command line to install the IIS 7.0 or 7.5 role services:

Copy Code 
ServerManagerCmd.exe -Install Web-Server Web-Scripting-Tools Web-Windows-Auth Web-Asp-Net Web-Log-Libraries Web-Http-Tracing 
Web-Stat-Compression Web-Default-Doc Web-ISAPI-Ext Web-ISAPI-Filter Web-Http-Errors Web-Http-Logging Web-Net-Ext Web-Client-Auth 
Web-Filtering Web-Mgmt-Console

Or, on the Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 operating system, you can use Windows PowerShell 2.0. You must first import the ServerManager module, and then install the IIS 7.5 role and role services.

Copy Code 
Import-Module ServerManager

Note:
Anonymous authentication is installed by default with the IIS server role. You can manage anonymous authentication after the installation of IIS. For details, see “Enable Anonymous Authentication (IIS 7)“ at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=203935.
