IIS Configuration
Topic Last Modified: 2013-09-20
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 https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?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:
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.
