Deploying Lync with System Center VM

I just noticed that Microsoft has now published a VMM template for deploying Lync 2013. You can get the templates here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/scvmm/archive/2013/11/07/lync-server-2013-service-templates-for-virtual-machine-manager-now-available.aspx.

For more information on VMM’s Service Templates, in particular the template to launch Lync itself, see here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/privatecloud/archive/2013/11/06/introducing-lync-service-templates.aspx.

The goal of the service templates is to provide an automated way to stand up these core productivity components allowing you to quickly build out dev/test and tenant environments either in a standalone manner or with all of the core Office Server components together. The first deliverable for Lync is a Lync Standard Server deployment that automates the creation and configuration of the Lync 2013.

You can also get service templates for Exchange and SharePoint – see the above link for pointers!
