Install Mobility Service and Autodiscover Service

 

Topic Last Modified: 2012-10-13

You need to run the Mobility and Autodiscover Services installer on each Front End Server and each Director in every Lync Server pool where you want to provide the mobility feature. The installer installs the Mobility Service on Front End Servers and installs the Autodiscover Service on Front End Servers and Directors.

The latest installation package is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=230577.

The default configuration enables Mobility Service traffic to go through the external site. However, you can restrict Mobility Service traffic to the internal corporate network. When you restrict the traffic to the internal corporate network, users cannot access mobility services from outside the corporate network.

Note

When you restrict mobility traffic to the internal network, you should configure the internal Web Services virtual IPs (VIPs) for cookie-based persistence on your hardware load balancer. For details, see Load Balancing Requirements.

To install Mobility Service and Autodiscover Service

  1. Log on to the computer as a user who is a member of the CsAdministrator group.

  2. Download the latest installation package from the Microsoft Download Center and extract it to the hard disk.

  3. Copy McxStandalone.msi to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Lync Server\Deployment\cache\4.0.7577.0\setup.

  4. Open the command prompt: Click Start, click in the search box, type cmd, and then press ENTER.

  5. At the command prompt, run C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Deployment\Bootstrapper.exe.

    Tip

    If you run Bootstrapper.exe from Lync Server Management Shell, you must prepend the path with a period (.) and enclose the path in quotation marks ("). For example: ."C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Deployment\Bootstrapper.exe".

  6. If you want to restrict mobility services to the internal corporate network, do the following:

    • Start the Lync Server Management Shell: Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Lync Server 2010, and then click Lync Server Management Shell.

    • At the command line, type the following:

      Set-CsMcxConfiguration -ExposedWebUrl Internal

If you use IIS 7.0, go to Change ASP.NET Settings and Restart IIS for IIS 7.0.

If you use IIS 7.5, go to Modifying Certificates for Mobility.
