Best Practices for Edge Server Security

Topic Last Modified: 2012-10-18

• Create a new subnet just for the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Edge Servers.

• Enhance the security of the routing rules for access to that subnet (disable broadcast, multicast, and traffic to other perimeter network subnets).

• Refrain from changing the service account under which edge services run.

• Read and use the information in Protecting the Edge Server Against DoS and Password Brute-Force Attacks in Lync Server 2010 at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=214180.
