Install Skype for Business Administrative Tools

Next, we need the Skype for Business Administrative Tools. For that we will need the Skype for Business Server installation media corresponding to your Skype for Business Server deployment. In this sample lab we have this mounted on drive D:.

  1. From Windows Explorer navigate to This PC and double-click the icon for your DVD drive (or navigate to the folder containing the Skype for Business Server ISO image and double-click that icon). If the Skype for Business Server installer does not start automatically, navigate to the Setup\amd64 directory and double-click Setup.exe. The installer launches.

  2. Choose Connect to the internet to check for updates radio button and click Install.
