Step by Step Installing Lync Server 2013 Persistent Chat Collocated on Standard Edition Front End - Part 3

Posted on 8:41 PM by Unknown

We are on a journey installing the various Lync Server 2013 roles. Today we will install the Persistent Chat role collocated on our Lync Server 2013 Standard Edition Front End! I would like to give Elan Shudnow credit as I read over his excellent Persistent Chat with Enterprise Pool articles before launching on installing this collocated edition.

  • Part 1 – Install Lync Server 2013 Standard Edition Front End
  • Part 2- Monitoring Server
  • Part 3 – Persistent Chat Server

Prerequisites:

  • Presumes a Lync Server 2013 Std. FE called FE01.lab.local (see)
  • Since we are installing Chat on an existing Std. Front End, most things are taken care of already
  • Install full SQL (SQL 2008 R2 or SQL 2012) as a new instance called CHAT. You can follow the instructions here.

Next will define a Persistent Chat pool in our topology. Let’s Open Topology Builder

add chat pool

Define the new Chat Pool. Use the FQDN of our trusty Front End: FE01.lab.local and check Single computer pool.

define pool

Next. Now give this Chat pool a name. (just anything is fine)

name of chat pool

Next. Click new to define a new SQL Server Store. We will use the SQL instance we installed for our chat role, so SQL Server FQDN = FE01.lab.local and Named Instance = CHAT

sql store

Our next item is defining the file store. Since this is a lab we will just use the existing Front End share we already setup for the FE which is \\FE01.lab.local\share. Click Finish.

share

We are done with the topology and you are given a chance to review it—everything looks great!

finished topology

Let’s publish our topology by going Action | Topology | Publish…

publish

Click Next.

p1

Watch the publish Wizard complete. when done click Finish.

p2

The next thing we will do is open the Lync Deployement Wizard and Update the Lync Server System by clicking Install or Upgrade Lync Server System. (this will install the chat services and install the SQL database)

install or update lync server system

Click the Run button with Step 2.

install-update

Click Next.

updat2

Watch as install happens and click Finish when done.

update-done

Now we are ready to start our newly installed Chat services. Click Run.

start-services

We can checkup that Lync Server Persistent Chat is successfully running…sure enough, great!

is running

Next we need to login to the Lync Server Control Panel to configure our shiny new Persistent Chat server. Click on Persistent Chat | Persistent Chat Policy and check Enable Persistent Chat and click Commit.

lcp-enable

Next we will add a Category. Click Category and New.

chat category

Next we need to add our Administrator user (user we are using to run Lync Powershell further down) to the “RTC Local Administrators” group. This is a local group on the Lync Front End Server, so to do this Open the “Computer Management” and open “Local Users and Groups”.

add user to RTC local admins

After this, log out and back into Windows get the new rights.

Next we will add a new chat room. Let’s drop into Lync Powershell and run

New-CsPersistentChatRoom -Name “XXX” -Category “FE01.lab.local\rd

Next we will add a user to this new Chat room by running the below Powershell:

add member to chatroom

After this we can login to our Lync client and use the Chat!

lync client
