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 4

5. Manageability Experience: Lync Server Control Panel 5

6. Lync Server Control Panel What 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 6

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.) 7

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 8

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 9 Pools Sites (Data Center) Global MicrosoftRedmondTukwila-1Tukwila-2DublinDublin-1

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 10

16. Manageability Experience: RBAC 16

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 17

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 18
