Install the Local Configuration Store

Topic Last Modified: 2013-09-27

To successfully complete this procedure, you should be logged on to the server minimally as a local administrator and a domain user who has membership in at least the RTCUniversalReadOnlyAdmin group.

The first step of the Lync Server Deployment Wizard is to install the Local Configuration store. The Local Configuration store is SQL Server Express, which installs a local database that will retain a read-only copy of the Central Management store. The Central Management store is added to the existing SQL Server database installed on the Standard Edition server or SQL Server Express-based database.

Important:
If this is the first time that you have run Lync Server 2013 setup on this server, you will be prompted for a drive and path to install Lync Server 2013. If your organization requires that you locate Internet Information Services (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. If you install the Setup files to this path, including OCSCore.msi, the rest of the Lync Server 2013 files will be deployed to this drive as well.
