This step will configure a local replica of the Central Management Store (CMS), and the information to be synchronized can be retrieved directly from the already existent CMS database or using a file (only used when there is no connection from the server being installed and the CMS which is the case of an Edge Server role that typically stays on a secure DMZ). In the Step 1: Install Local Configuration Store, click on Run. We need to perform all steps listed on this new page. In the Install or update member system page. In order to start the deployment, click on Install or Update Skype for Business Server System. The final step will use the same Deployment Wizard, at this point we will have Complete checks on Prepare Active Directory and Install Administrative Tools on the first page. In this stage, we need an internal CA (Certification Authority) in place, Skype for Business will use the internal CA certificate to create the certs required internally, and that CA (if it is an Enterprise CA) will have all certificates issued accepted automatically by the clients. All those steps bring us to the final step which is the actual deployment of the Skype for Business Server on the new server. So far in this series, we planned and prepared the environment including the Operating System requirements and Active Directory to support the first Skype for Business Server in our environment.
