The Environment

HC Skype for Business is designed to communicate over Remote PowerShell. The underlying architecture makes certain that the actual Skype for Business Front-End servers are free from unwarranted installations and as isolated as possible. This gives rise to the notion of a neat and clean environment built for greater efficiency.

Organizations normally insist on completely secluded Skype for Business servers, able to communicate only through Remote PowerShell, due to the following considerations and constraints:

  • To avoid performance issues on Skype for Business servers due to unnecessary software overhead.
  • To quell security concerns originating from unauthorized software installations.
  • Meet various compliance requirements.
  • Allow horizontal scaling of Skype for Business infrastructure independent of 3rd party intervention.

How it works

Setup Control Server

Control Server is the server with the Primary installer and constitutes the backbone of HC10. It's responsible for provisioning, database, system and task scheduler operations.


Setup Control Server

Designate a Friendly Server

Complete the configurations by logging on as Admin. Specify a hypothetical server in the panel and designate it a Friendly Name. Next specify the IP and Admin credentials for the actual Skype for Business Front-End server.


Designate a Friendly Server

Connect via Remote PowerShell

The Control Server connects to the actual Skype for Business Front-End servers via Remote PowerShell for the purpose of provisioning, without any need of an HC installation on the Skype for Business Front-End server itself. Hit the "Check Connectivity" button to verify the connection and start provisioning Skype for Business users, SIP domains and much more through HC10. It's as simple as that!
