In this post I discuss the methods Client installation Lync.
I will demonstrate the installation script by using the exe client and another distributing the msi file. In both methods needy will use a GPO to start the installation process.
During execution of the installer exe the following actions are taken:
For these reasons it is recommended to install the client by .exe
Create a folder ClientLync and copy the installation file. Share the folder and add the group Everyone with the right reading.
In the security of NTFS folder add the group Domain Computers with read permission on the folder.
Create a bat file to run the exe file. The script was created in the shared folder FQDNDomain \ SYSVOL \ Domain \ Script.
\ \ Share \ LyncSetup / install / silent
With the script and created the installation files to create a shared lack GPO to apply the script on the machines.
Open the Group Policy Management and create a new policy Deploy Lync
Edit the new policy, [Computer Configuration / Policies / Windows Settings / Scripts]
Write a script Statup
Add the script of the SYSVOL
Add the link to this GPO in a OU where the accounts of the machines are.
Restart the machine and verify that the Client Lync 32-bit plugins and Silverlight were installed.
If Lync Client is installed by this method you must manually install the Microsoft Silverlight and Microsoft Visual C + +, preferably via the installation script. If the installation is done by exe dependencies are resolved without any additional configuration.
To get the MSI file and dependencies for client installation, install the client on a machine Lync, and go to the folder C: \ Program Files (x86) \ OCSetup Lync.msi and copy the files, and Silverlight.exe vcredist_x86. exe file to a shared folder.
Edit the group policy in [Computer Configuration / Policies / Software Settings] Right click on Software Instalation -> New and Package
Add the msi file by configuring your network path UNC
Make the link the GPO in the OU
\ \ Share \ LyncSetup_ <version> / install / silent
Add the filter. This filter will be applied to operating systems Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7:
Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where ProductType = "1"
Select * from Win32_Processor where AddressWidth = "32"
Add a new filter.
This filter will be applied to operating systems Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7:
Select * from Win32_Processor where AddressWidth = "64"
WMI Filters: Stations x64 value True gpo Check for 64-bit operating systems has been applied
WMI Filters: Stations x32 value True gpo Check for 32-bit operating systems has been applied
msiexec / update \ \ HM01 \ ClientLync \ Lync_x32.msp / quiet
msiexec / update \ \ HM01 \ ClientLync \ Lync_x64.msp / quiet
