Extracting the VM files to the local computer.a. The self-extracting program allows the VMs to be extracted to a chosen disk location. For the purpose of this setup guide, the C:\ drive will be used to reference VM file locations. b. Double-click the 2013-DC.exe file to begin the self-extraction. The self-extraction program will extract the VM files to the location specified, for example, C:\TestDrive unless otherwise specified. For the purpose of this document, the C:\TestDrive location will be used to refer to the VM location. c. Continue to Create a Virtual Network while the files are being extracted.d. Repeat for the other remaining *.exe to extract the other Virtual Machines.

Create a Virtual Network.a. On the host computer, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Hyper-V Manager.b. In Hyper-V Manager, in the Actions pane, click Virtual Network Manager.c. In the Virtual Network Manager wizard, under What type of virtual network do you want to create? Click Internal and then click Add. d. Under New Virtual Network, in the Name field, type Lync Demo Virtual Network and click Apply. e. In the Apply Network Changes window, click Yes. f. Click OK to close the window.

Wait for the Virtual Machine Files to finish being extracted before continuing.

Import the Virtual Machine necessary to complete the task.a. In Hyper-V Manager, in the Actions pane, click Import Virtual Machine.b. On the Import Virtual Machine page, click Browse.c. On the Select Folder page, navigate to the location of the extracted VMs (e.g. C:\LyncDemos), click the folder 2013-DC, and then click Select Folder.d. On the Import Virtual Machine page, click Import.e. An Import Completed with warnings dialog box may appear. The warning can be ignored at this time. The VM settings will be verified later in this setup guide. f. Repeat at Step a for the remaining Virtual Machines.

Verify the Settings of the VM.a. On the host computer, in Hyper-V Manager, right-click DC, and then click Settings.b. On the Settings for DC page, verify the VM setting according to the following table:

VM NameMemoryProcessor(s)IDE Controller 0IDE Controller 1Ethernet Port

DC1524 MB12013-DC.vhdn/aLync Demo Virtual Network

c. If the settings are correct, click Cancel to close the window.d. If you need to correct the settings, change the appropriate configuration and click OK.e. Repeat at Step A for the remaining Virtual Machines in this package.

Start and log on to the VM.a. On the host computer, in Hyper-V Manager, under Virtual Machines, right-click DC and click Connect. b. On the DC Virtual Machine Connection, press CTRL+ALT+END or click the Ctrl-Alt-Delete button on the tool-bar.c. If required, Log on as Contoso\Administrator with a password of pass@word1d. On DC, click Start Administrative Tools Services.e. In the Services console, verify that all services set to start Automatically have started. f. Repeat Step A for the remaining virtual machines in this package.

Important:Services on these Virtual Machine (s) may take several minutes to start. It is also possible that services fail to start. Prior to beginning any demonstration, complete the following procedure to ensure that the environment is functional before the demonstration begins.On Lync-FE, click StartAdministrative ToolsServices.In the Services management console, verify that the SQL Server (RTC) & (RTCLOCAL) services are started and verify that the Lync Server Front-End service is started.For any service which is not started, right-click the service and click Start.Verify that all services that are set to start Automatically have a status of Started. The Windows Licensing Monitoring Service is the only service that is not required to be Started.For any service which is not started, right-click the service and click Start. Verify that all services that are set to Automatic (Delayed Start) have a status of Started. You may need to refresh the console to see the current status. For any service which does not start within 5 minutes, right-click the service and click Start.Close the Services management console.

2. How do I run these VMs with Windows Server 2008R2? If you are running Windows Server 2008R2 as your Hyper-V host, then you need to install this KB2744129. This KB is not required if you are running Windows Server 2012. We strongly suggest using Windows Server 2012 as your preferred Hyper-V host.3. How do I turn on mobility support? Lync 2013 Mobility can be enabled when you install CU1 on this VM set. You will also need to download a Root CA for each phone. More infomation is found here on Technet. Note: Follow the instructions carefully, including running the bootstrapper in step 5.4. How do I see the status of the Lync Server Services? To verify the status of the Lync Server services, run this cndlet on the Lync-FE via the mgt shell: Test-CsComputer v. More information here on Technet.5. Do I need to worry about activation or expiration of any software? Activation and Expiration--The Windows Server 2012 instances used in these virtual machines are distributed without activation using a trial key. You will receive activation notifications a few days after your first use, and expiration notifications after 180 days. In Windows Server 2012 Virtual Machines the notifications will followed by forced shutdowns after approximately one (1) hours of use.6. Do I have the latest version of software with these VMs? The software relevant to Lync Server 2013 development and management that is installed in these VMs was the latest released versions at the time of Lync Server 2013 RTM. You may wish to install recently released cumulative updates for Lync Server 2013, or the latest versions of the APIs and SDKs that are included with the 2013-TS VM. We recommend that you take a snapshot of the set of VMs prior to performing any software updates. You can search for new releases in the Microsoft Download Center at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads, and follow the installation instructions very carefully. Whenever upgrading, we also recommend that you install the latest Windows Updates.

Virtual Machine Activation

This Virtual Machine (VM) requires activation within 10 days of initial use.This 180 day evaluation version of Windows Server 2012 will require the VM to have Internet access for activation.Use the following procedure as an example for configuring the VM in Hyper-V for Internet Access.If you have already configured a Virtual Network which connects to the physical network adapter for external access, skip to step 5.

1. After the VM has been successfully imported, in the Hyper-V Management Console, in the Actions pane, click Virtual Network Manager.2. In the Virtual Network Manager window, under Create virtual network, ensure that External is selected and click Add.3. Under New Virtual Network, in the Name field, type External.4. Under Connection type, verify that External is selected and that it is connected to the physical network adapter attached to the Hyper-V host and click OK.5. In the Hyper-V Management console, click DC.6. In the Actions pane, click Settings.7. In the DC Settings window, under Add Hardware, click Network Adapter and click Add.8. In the Navigation pane, click the new Network Adapter that is listed as Not Connected.9. In the results pane, click the Network drop down list and select External.10. Click OK to close the Settings window.11. Start the DC VM.12. If necessary, Log on to 2013-DC as Contoso\Administrator with a password of pass@word113. Wait for the VM to install the new hardware and assignment of a DHCP address from your network. If you are not using dynamically assigned IP addresses, you must consult your network Administrator and be assigned a static IP address which can be manually configured in the VM.14. Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties.15. In the System properties windows, in the Windows Activation section, click Activate.........16. Activate the VM over the Internet to start the 180 day evaluation.17. Once activated, click Start and click Shut Down.18. In the Hyper-V Management console, click DC.19. In the Actions pane, click Settings.20. In the DC Settings window, in the Navigation pane, click the network adapter connected to the external network.21. In the Results pane, click Remove.22. In the Settings window, click OK.23. In the Hyper-V Management console, right click DC and click Snapshot. This will be the new snapshot you will use which represents the activated 180 day evaluation version of Virtual Machine.24. Go back to Step 5 and repeat for the remaining VMs (e.g., 2013-Lync-FE, 2013-Exchange, 2013-WAC, etc. ).NOTE: It is highly recommended that you stop the DHCP service prior to connecting the 2013-DC.VHD to the external network in order to prevent the wrong subnet address of getting published (192.168.0.x).
