General Prerequisites

Server Requirements

The system can be installed on a virtual system. Supported virtualization platforms are VMware ESX, Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V.

Please note, it is not supported to perform checkpoints/snapshots or Live Migrations while the TM Server is running.
Please see the recommended minimum specifications table below (when running TM Server on the supported platforms):

Server Operating System

The system requires a Windows Server operating system. We recommend installing the latest security updates from Microsoft prior to installing TM.

TM only supports the operating systems listed in the table below. 

Windows OS / SfB Server Compatibility 

 Note: The following requirement details are provided by Microsoft and thus independent from the TeamManager release!

Windows Server Version  → SfB Version ↓	Windows Server 2008 R2	Windows Server 2012 R2	Windows Server 2016	Windows Server 2019	Related Microsoft Links
Skype for Business 2015	Not supported	All required updates have to be installed	/  Skype for Business Cumulative Update 5 or later in needed (KB 4012621)	/  Skype for Business Cumulative Update 9 or later in needed (KB 4487981)	SfB 2015 Server Requirements SfB Server Updates

SQL Server

Reporting Services

If TM SSRS Reporting is used then the SQL Reporting Services needs to be installed. 

Required Powershell Commands

In some cases your IT policy or access rights might restrict the use of Powershell commands. Here is a list of required commands used during installation and setup:

- Get-CsTrustedApplicationEndpoint
- Set-CsTrustedApplicationEndpoint
- Remove-CsTrustedApplicationEndpoint
- New-CsTrustedApplicationEndpoint
- Grant-CsVoicePolicy
- Get-CsVoicePolicy
- Get-CsVoiceRoute
- Get-CsPool
- Get-CsServerVersion
- Grant-CsConferencingPolicy
- New-CsConferencingPolicy
- Get-CsConferencingPolicy
- Set-CsConferencingPolicy
- Remove-CsConferencingPolicy
- Get-CsExternalAccessPolicy
- Grant-CsExternalAccessPolicy

- Get-ADObject
- Set-ADObject

Required Windows Features

These Windows features are required on every machine (instance) acting as TM Server. PowerShell can be used to quickly check and install all Windows features required for TM. 

Set ExecutionPolicy to "RemoteSigned"

The following PowerShell sessions must be started with Administrator rights on each LUCS Server machine.

To execute Lync/SfB PowerShell commands, the execution Policy must be set to "RemoteSigned". This setting must be run on each machine where you are planning to install Luware products and their required Windows feature prerequisites.

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force

POWERSHELL

→ No error must occur when executing this command.

The following Powershell script will check and install all necessary Windows features.

 If errors occur, try to execute the script again, as download from Microsoft and back-to-back installation may fail.

Please read before executing the Windows Features Powershell Script

This script installs .NET Framework 4.6. Depending on your Operating System and TeamManager version to be installed it might not be necessary to do so as a more current .NET version is already present.

• Please refer to your TeamManager .NET compatibility statements in the "Prerequisites" chapter.
• Install any required .NET versions manually and install other dependencies using the script.
• Also refer to the related Microsoft source on .NET version dependencies: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/versions-and-dependencies
