Installing Standard Edition

Abstract

Installing a Standard Edition Server is simple. In fact, you don’t need a long-winded chapter on this subject. Just fire up the Setup program, and follow the instructions. You must complete two steps. The first step is to install the software on the local computer. This requires only local administrative rights. The second step is to activate the server. You’ll need administrative rights with membership in the RTCDomainServerAdmins group, which is created by Live Communications Server. Of course, being the root domain administrator will suffice as well. You’ll be done before you even finish reading this chapter. Therefore, instead of walking you through the process, this chapter will provide you with insights that might not be apparent to help you in your successful deployment.
