Administration Overview

The life of a Lync Server administrator varies depending on the role within the organization, and Lync Server 2013 accommodates many different scenarios and administrator use cases. Instead of resorting to a complex and difficult management console or Visual Basic script files, Lync Server 2013 continues with an improved user interface backed by a management shell based on Windows PowerShell just as in Exchange Server since 2007. Combined with the role-based access control, administrators can tackle delegated specific tasks either in the Lync Server Control Panel or via the Lync Server Management Shell command-line interface.
