Prüfungsvorbereitungen Lync Configuring 70-664

Hallo zusammen,

Zur Vorbereitung auf die Prüfung 70-664 "Technology Specialist: Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Configuring" habe ich mir folgende Notizen gemacht. Vielleicht hilft das ja dem einen oder anderen weiter...

Und ja, ich habe die Prüfung im ersten Anlauf mit 911 Punkten geschafft :)

/*Ressourcen*/

Ich habe folgende Ressourcen zur Vorbereitung genutzt:

• Lync Server TechNet Library
• Lync Server TechCenter
• Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Protocol Workloads Poster
• Das Buch Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Unleashed 
• Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Virtual Labs
• Prüfungsinformationen zur 70-664 Prüfung von MS Learning
• Ein Blog mit links zur Technet Library der geprüften Bereiche
• Hands On in meinem Lab

/*Editionen und Lizenzen*/

Es gibt grundsätzlich zwei Versionen "Standard Edition" und "Enterprise Edition". Bei der Standard Edition sind alle Rollen Instant Messaging, presence, conferencing, and Enterprise Voice (bis ca. 5000 Users) auf einem Server. Somit ist hier kein High Availability möglich, da alles auf einem Server installiert ist.

• Edge Server
• Mediation Server
• Monitoring Server
• Archiving Server
• Director

/*Front End Server functionality*/
User authentication and registration
Presence information and contact card exchange

IM functionality, including multiparty IM conferences
Web conferencing and application sharing (if deployed)
Application hosting services, for both applications included with Lync Server (for example, Conferencing Attendant and Response Group application) and third-party applications

Max 80,000 User per Front End Pool
1 Front End Server per 10'000 Users

/*Back End Server*/
Back End Server DB
Presence information

/*A/V Conferencing Server*/
can be collocated with Front End Server
one A/V Conferencing Server for each 20,000 users at a site
two A/V Conferencing Servers for high availability.

/*Edge Server*/
communicate and collaborate with users outside the organization
external users: currently working offsite, users from federated partner organizations, and outside users who have been invited to join conferences
connectivity to public IM connectivity services, including Windows Live, AOL, and Yahoo!.

/*Mediation Server*/
implementing Enterprise Voice and dial-in conferencing
Mediation Server translates signaling and media between Lync Server and (PSTN) gateway/IP-PBX/Sip Trunk

/*Monitoring Server*/
Monitoring Server collects data about the quality of your network media, in both Enterprise Voice calls and A/V conferences
It also collects call error records (CERs)
of call detail records (CDRs)
One Monitoring Server can support up to 250,000 users if not collocated with Archiving Server. If collocated, it can support up to 100,000 users.

/*Archiving Server*/
Archiving Server enables you to archive IM communications and meeting content for compliance reasons
One Archiving Server can support up to 500,000 users if not collocated with Monitoring Server. If collocated, it can support up to 100,000 users.

/*Director*/
Directors can authenticate Lync Server user requests, but do not home user accounts, or provide presence or conferencing services
external user access, where the Director can authenticate requests before sending them on to internal servers
improve performance in organizations with multiple Front End pools
one Director for every 15,000 users who will access a site remotely
two Directors for high availability
