Active Roles deployment prerequisites for Skype for Business Server User Management

To configure the Skype for Business Server User Management feature, you must install the following Active Roles components in your Active Directory environment:

  • Administration Service

  • Web Interface

  • Active Roles Console

Install these components on the member servers of the account forest or in the Skype for Business Server forest. For installation instructions, see the Active Roles Quick Start Guide.

Logging in as an Active Roles Admin

To configure Skype for Business Server User Management, log in as an Active Roles Admin. This ensures that you have sufficient rights to make the necessary configuration changes.

If you use the default configuration of the Active Roles Administration Service, log in with a domain user account that is a member of the Administrators group on the computer running the Administration Service.

Registering domains with Active Roles

Skype for Business Server User Management requires the following domains to be registered with Active Roles:

  • At least one domain that holds computers running the Front End Server or Standard Edition Server role in your Skype for Business Server deployment.

  • Domains that hold login-enabled users you are going to administer with Skype for Business Server User Management.

  • In case of multi-forest topology, the domain in the Skype for Business Server forest that holds shadow accounts for Skype for Business Server users.

When registering a domain, you are prompted to choose which account you want the Administration Service to use to access the domain. You can either specify a so-called override account or let the Administration Service use its service account. With either option, the account must have sufficient rights in the domain you are registering. At minimum, the account must have the following rights:

  • In the domain that contains the Skype for Business Server computers, it must be a member of the RTCUniversalUserAdmins group.

  • In the user domains, it must be a member of the Account Operators group.

  • In the shadow accounts domain, it must also be a member of the Account Operators group.

  • For a central forest deployment, the account must also have the rights to create, view, modify and delete contact objects in the shadow accounts domain. To ensure this, make the account a member of the Domain Admins group.

    For instructions on how to register domains with Active Roles, see Registering domains with Active Roles.

Configuring Skype for Business Server User Management in a single-forest environment

You can configure the Skype for Business Server User Management feature in a single-forest environment by linking the Built-in Policy - Skype for Business - User Management Policy Object to the Active Directory domains or containers that hold the Skype for Business user accounts you want to manage with Active Roles.

To link the Skype for Business User Management Policy Object to an Organizational Unit or domain

  1. In the Active Roles Console, navigate to Configuration > Policies > Administration > Builtin.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the Built-in Policy - Skype for Business - User Management Policy Object, then click Policy Scope.

  3. In the dialog that appears, click Add, then select the Organizational Unit or domain.

Out of the box, the Policy Object has all policy settings configured. To change the default policy settings, use the Active Roles Console.

To view or change the settings of the Skype for Business User Management policy

  1. In the Active Roles Console, navigate to Configuration > Policies > Administration > Builtin.

  2. In the details pane, double-click the Built-in Policy - Skype for Business - User Management Policy Object.

  3. In the Properties dialog that appears, go to the Policies tab, and double-click the entry in the list of policies.

  4. In the Properties dialog that appears, modify the settings of the policy:

    • On the Server tab, specify how you want Active Roles to select a computer running Skype for Business Server.

    • On the SIP User Name tab, configure a rule for generating the SIP user name in the user SIP address.

    • On the SIP Domain tab, configure a rule to restrict selection of a SIP domain for the user SIP address.

    • On the Pool tab, configure a rule to restrict selection of an Enterprise Edition Front End pool or Standard Edition server to which Skype for Business Server users can be assigned.

    • On the Telephony tab, configure a rule to restrict selection of a Telephony option for Skype for Business Server users.

For more information on these policy settings, see Skype for Business Server User Management policy settings.
