*Lync Server 2010 does not support SQL Native DB Mirroring Every Lync Server 2010 Front End server will have it's own SQL 2008 Express edition as a local data store. This local data store replicates with the SQL back end it replicates with all the Lync Server 2010 Front end data stores, Survivable Branch Servers (SBS) and Survivable Branch Appliences (SBA) as well. Lync Server 2010 Archiving and Monitoring databases also can be deployed on the same SQL Back end. Both of Archiving and Monitoring Server Roles will need a separate SQl Instances for the deployment. The Monitoring role will need to have SQL Reporting services to be installed in the SQL Instance. *Deploying Archiving and Monitoring Server Roles in the same SQL Back End Server is not recommended.
