Lync Hosting Pack Provisioning The Hosting community makes heavy use of automation to reduce cost. Hoster’s need to build and integrate into their existing Service Providers and tenant Admin UI systems. (Control Panels) PowerShell commandletsand few AD Attributes act as the Hosters API to Lync Servers to allow the above capabilities. Lync Server Planning tool is not supported. Design guidelines are used instead Lync Server Topology Builder is not supported. Manual XML file is used instead Lync Server Control Panel is not supported (ieBigfin). Commandlets are used instead
Take away • This is hosting pack 1.0 (much more to come) • The hosting pack is aimed at the small business market @ low cost • Plenty of room for O365 & Hosting Pack and Dedicated Lync in the marketplace.
