Hello,<br />
<br />
I would like install Lync server on a test server however looking at the Microsoft minimum requirements looks like I will need a very powerful server to install all rolls on one machine.<br />
<br />
Has anyone had experience installing Lync on 1 or more fairly low spec servers? If yes what’s the absolute minimum I need to get things working, not bothered about performance as only a few users will be using it for testing...<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help
