Now it was finally time to install the system components, following. (Persistent chat and Edge will be enabled later on). However, by some voodoo magic the publishing wizard completed without errors after the server reboot:. Was it some random PowerShell”magic”, or was it a server reboot that finally did the trick? (I assume the latter…) From here on I’m quite clueless what I did. I got no source for the above (too much googling), and afaik everything even looked OK in the screenshot. Much googling led me to the following commands: Getting sick of all the (never-before-seen) errors. Publishing will actually fail if you forget to prepare first! Been there, done that 🙂. This prepares for Standard Edition by installing a SQL Server Express Edition instance and creating the Central Management Store”. Read carefully: “If this is Standard Edition, you will need to run thePrepare First Standard Edition Server process from the Deployment Wizardbefore you publish a topology. Simple urls are also specified according to the DNS information. Web services external url is specified as (in the DNS front-end information earlier). Nothing fancy, just the basics with a standard edition front-end and without all the bells and whistles. I then created and published a new topology, again following. The domain preparation worked without problems for a change 🙂 
I finally moved over to preparing the domain. Success! The -GlobalCatalog option was the key. Schema Preparation went fine, but forest preparation failed:. Prepared Active Directory, using an AD account with enterprise/schema admin rights. You can define the file share in Topology Builder before you create the file share, but you must create the file share in the defined location you define before you publish the topology”. “The file share cannot be located on the Enterprise Edition Front End Server, but can be located on a Standard Edition server. With all these steps done, it was time to move along to the actual front-end installation. 
Finally I checked that I had created/requested all the DNS aliases needed in the internal DNS zone. (This actually turned into quite a mess, see the next chapter about front-end certificate gotchas). I also checked that I had a working ADCS (not setup by me), so I could get internal certificates assigned on the front-end. As usual, it didn’t quite work as planned 🙂 I’ll now try to explain the process in detail, including some problems along the way.īefore starting the actual setup, I double checked that my network and AD infrastructure was setup correctly. After that I’ll continue with the Edge and Reverse Proxy installation.įor the front-end installation I followed TechNet’s deployment article with some twists.
The next chapter will present the actual front-end installation, including some dilemmas/gotchas. Front-end DNS entries haven’t been discussed earlier however, so here goes: Front-end DNS That said, use these two blog posts as a compliment for this guide – they include some deeper information not discussed here.

I’ve also previously written a blog post titled “Test Lab Guide: Windows Server 2016 with Integrated Exchange 2016, SfB Server 2015 and SharePoint 2016”, where I deployed a front-end server for Skype for Business Server 2015.

However, as I’ve deployed Lync Edge plus Reverse proxy servers before, much of the planning/homework was already done. General information about planning for Skype for Business Server 2015 can be found at:
