  1. Microsoft® Lync™ Server 2010Management and Admin Experience Module 05 Microsoft Corporation

  2. Session Objectives and Takeaways • Session Objectives: • Describe the implications of our investments in Microsoft® PowerShell™ and delegation (Role-based Access Control (RBAC)) for Lync Server 2010 • Navigate the Lync Server 2010 Control Panel, the graphical administrative tool for this release • Takeaways: • Understand our management experience investments in Lync Server 2010 • Describe the Lync Server 2010 management experience

  3. Agenda • Experience: Lync Server Control Panel and PowerShell • Demos: Management Experience • Experience: RBAC • Demo: RBAC

  4. Management Experience Investments • PowerShell Foundation for Administration • All management functions run in PowerShell • Full PowerShell 2.0 capabilities leveraged for Lync Server 2010 • New Silverlight®-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool • Lync Server Control Panel • Addresses key pain points from OCS 2007 R2 • No Microsoft Management Console (MMC) for Lync Server 2010 • RBAC • Supported throughout Lync Server Control Panel and PowerShell • Built-in and customer-defined roles available

  5. Manageability Experience: Lync Server Control Panel

  6. Lync Server Control PanelWhat Is It? • A web-based, scenario-driven management GUI for Lync Server 2010 • Based on Silverlight 4 and PowerShell • Targeted to expose most relevant PowerShell delivered features and settings • GUI tool includes • Discoverable dialogs • Easy and fast searches • Effective policy view • Voice dial-plan support built-in • No cascading property sheets • And more… • Replaces MMC-based snap-in used in previous OCS releases

  7. Why Lync Server Control Panel? Usability studies and customer feedback: • MMC UI in OCS 2007 R2 is difficult to navigate/deploy/manage • Multiple places/levels to configure the same thing • Risk of out-of-sync configurations/validation prior to changes not adequate • Management tasks spread across different tools (Active Directory® Administrative Center (ADAC), OCS, MMC, etc.)

  8. Lync Server Control Panel Addresses Key Customer Feedback • No need for multiple tools • Response Group management integrated • Route Helper Tool (OCS 2007, OCS 2007 R2) integrated • External access management consolidated • All policies are reflected in single tool • Easy to see and understand user’s effective policy • Navigation cleaner and easier • “Bread crumbing” provides context on task • Queries can be saved and re-used • Consistent tools, look, and feel throughout UI

  9. Topology Model Global Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Deployment is a collection of Sites • Sites are made up of Pools • Pools host: • Services (such as Instant Messaging (IM), Conferencing, and voice over internet protocol (VoIP)) • Users

  10. Policy Scopes and Resolution • Configuration: • Data/settings needed by a component/service. Applies to all requests equally • Policy: • Data needs to process a request. Implies lookup and resolution • Policy Scopes: • Global • Site • Pool (or “service”) • User • Policy Resolution Order: • Closest policy to the user wins • User > Pool > Site > Global

  11. Task Success Comparison

  12. Manageability Experience PowerShell

  13. Microsoft Lync Server 2010 PowerShell Key pain point: Difficult to automate tasks such as managing user policies and entitlements in a consistent way Solution: • PowerShell foundation for Administration • PowerShell eases automation for administrative tasks • Consistent PowerShell administration experience • Consistency with Exchange administration

  15. Demo: Lync Server Control Panel and PowerShell

  16. Manageability Experience:RBAC

  17. Why Role-based Access Control? • Security best practice • Enables least-privilege access for admin roles • Greater administrative productivity • Focus each organizational role on right tasks • Assigning right task to right person drives total cost of ownership (TCO) improvements across organization • Consistent with Exchange Server 2010 administration approach

  18. How is RBAC Implemented? • User/Group from Active Directory® Domain Services (AD DS) • Role: List of cmdlets and scripts • Scope: Set of objects upon which cmdlets in role can operate • Role Assignment: Defines who can run what and where • Who: User or Group • What: Set of tasks in the role definition • Where: Scope

  19. Built-in Roles

  20. Demo: RBAC in PowerShell and Lync Server Control Panel

  21. Delivering a Leading Communications Management Experience Summary • Administration is a major investment for Lync Server 2010 • Lync Server Control Panel streamlines and eases administration • PowerShell enables automation across entire infrastructure • RBAC supports security best practices and organizational efficiency
