Operating System Support
An often missed change in many new Microsoft products is the shift to 64-bit computing. Lync Server is no exception to this trend because it is available only in a 64-bit edition. This means, of course, that the servers on which Lync Server are hosts must have processors that support a 64-bit architecture. The operating system must also be 64-bit.

• Windows 2008 SP2 x64 Data Center
• Windows 2008 R2 x64 Standard ...
