Defining Branch Sites

The first step, whether deploying a survivable branch appliance or a survivable branch server, is to define each branch site within the Lync Server topology.

1. Open the Lync Server Topology Builder and import the current topology.

2. Right-click Branch Office Sites and select New Branch Site.

3. Enter a Name for the site and, optionally, a Description.

4. Click Next.

5. Enter the City where the site is located.

6. Enter a State/Region where the site is located.

7. Enter a two-digit Country Code where the site is located.

8. Click Next.

9. Clear the check box Open the New Survivable Wizard when this wizard closes, and then click Finish. A survivable branch appliance or server can be added to the site later.
