Deploying Enterprise Voice

Install components for Response Group

Lync Server cmdlets, the Lync Server Control Panel, Response Group Configuration Tool, agents' sign-in and sign-out console, and Response Group Client Web service are installed as part of Web Services. Web Services is installed when you deploy an Enterprise Edition pool or a Standard Edition server.

Typically, users are enabled for Lync Server during the Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition server deployment. Users are enabled for Enterprise Voice during the Enterprise Voice deployment.
