Because the Edge Pool article goes into great depth on topics and step-by-step directions this article will omit some of the basic instructions on how to get to specific windows and focus on just the important aspects. Nearly all of the guidance in the companion article related to network configuration and server preparation holds true for either scenario.Īlso worth pointing out is that if one is attempting this deployment then a fair amount of Windows server and networking knowledge is assumed. Basically the other servers as a production deployment reference guide while this is the quick reference guide for lab deployments. This other article addresses the more complex topic of deploying multiple Edge servers in production-like setting, but also includes additional guidance and can be used as a deeper reference to the topics covered in this shorter article. A much more detailed companion article entitled Skype for Business 2015 Edge Pool Deployment is also available which overlaps with a lot of the concepts and steps in this article.

The instruction in this article is without much of the typical in-depth explanation provided alongside most deployment articles on this blog. This article is intended for those following along with this series of deployment articles to create a Skype for Business (SfB) 2015 Server environment.
