4. Starting an Automated Deployment (Part 2)
Part 2 of the document describes how to publish the topology file inside your newly deployed lab. Then the last configuration steps will be done again automatically. Unfortunately publishing the topology is the only steps that cannot be automated.
- Publishing the Skype for Business 2015 topology file
- Continue the automated deployment.
As mentioned there is no way to automated this step at the moment. However publishing the topology is only a few clicks.
The deployment process waits here until you press enter or CTRL + C. So you have plenty of time to do the steps described next
The Skype for Business Topology Builder is available on the first frontend server in your lab. After opening the application, please choose the option to open an existing topology.
SfbAutomatedLab has already copied the topology file to C:\ of the first frontend server. Please select and open the file.
The please choose the "Publish Topology" option from the "Action" menu. and click through the wizard. This can take a minute.
After the wizard has finished, you should see a summary without errors. The warnings are fine.
Now SfbAutomatedLab can take over again. Please go pack to the PowerShell ISE which should still wait for user input. If you hit the enter key, SfbAutomatedLab continues and prints this message:
Congratulations! This is it. It takes another one or two hours to complete the deployment.
