This section describes the tasks that a member of the Domain Admins group

must complete to ready the domain for an SBM deployment. These steps must

be completed before the CS Administrator adds the SBM to the Lync Server

topology.

should have been added to the domain with the deployment of Microsoft Lync

Server 2010.

Add the SBM Computer Object to the Domain

Next, you must add the SBM computer account to the domain. Make sure that

specify the SBM’s FQDN when adding it to the Lync Server topology.
