<p>After the restart we will apply the update of the databases which in my case is going to be the FQDN of the FE server since it&#8217;s standard version and not Backend server.</p>

<p>Time to upgrade the Archiving/Monitoring databases.</p>
<p>To upgrade we&#8217;ll use the same command except change the FQDN of the SQL server to the SQL server where Monitoring and Archiving databases are at.</p>

<h1>Step 3 : Installing Windows OS hotfix.</h1>
<p>KB2982006 Windows Server 2012 R2</p>
<p>Since the FE is on Windows Server 2012 R2 then we&#8217;ll need to download this link</p>

<p>RESTART is Required</p>
<p><a href="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image016-1.png"><img style="margin: 0px; display: inline; background-image: none;" title="clip_image016" src="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image016_thumb-1.png" alt="clip_image016" width="765" height="479" border="0" /></a></p>

<p>On a different Machine that&#8217;s joined to the same domain, I will run the prerequisites script and restart the machine. then I&#8217;ll load the Skype for business ISO and install</p>

<p>Now in order to continue we&#8217;ll have to open the topology builder in order to upgrade our Lync 2013 topology</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll open the topology builder and save the topology file somewhere</p>
<p><a href="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image036-1.png"><img style="margin: 0px; display: inline; background-image: none;" title="clip_image036" src="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image036_thumb-1.png" alt="clip_image036" width="704" height="582" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Once the topology is open, I&#8217;ll navigate to the Standard FE Servers and right click on my main server to upgrade</p>
<p><a href="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image037-1.png"><img style="margin: 0px; display: inline; background-image: none;" title="clip_image037" src="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image037_thumb-1.png" alt="clip_image037" width="786" height="442" border="0" /></a></p>

<p>I&#8217;ll click on Upgrade to Skype for Business Server 2015…</p>
<p><a href="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image039-1.png"><img style="margin: 0px; display: inline; background-image: none;" title="clip_image039" src="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image039_thumb-1.png" alt="clip_image039" width="783" height="442" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>As soon as you press Yes, the Frontend server that you selected will be moved under the Skype For Business Server 2015 tab as you can see below.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image040-1.png"><img style="margin: 0px; display: inline; background-image: none;" title="clip_image040" src="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image040_thumb-1.png" alt="clip_image040" width="601" height="407" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Since I have two FE servers (FE and SBS) I will be upgrading them both but not in the same time not not fall into any errors, so I will publish the topology and see what happens.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image041-1.png"><img style="margin: 0px; display: inline; background-image: none;" title="clip_image041" src="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image041_thumb-1.png" alt="clip_image041" width="784" height="591" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image042-1.png"><img style="margin: 0px; display: inline; background-image: none;" title="clip_image042" src="https://www.moh10ly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/clip_image042_thumb-1.png" alt="clip_image042" width="791" height="595" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>We&#8217;ll check what do we need to do now in order to upgrade the servers, here is what we&#8217;ll do.</p>
<p>Import existing normalization rules from the previous Skype for Business Server deployment. If you want to keep your existing normalization rules you will need to import them using the Import-CsCompanyPhoneNormalizationRules cmdlet. If you have separate normalization rules for each pool then you will need to run the command for each set.</p>
<h2>To perform an in-place upgrade of your Skype for Business Server, you&#8217;ll need to do the following, in order:</h2>
<h5>(1) Stop the Skype for Business services on all of the servers that you are upgrading;</h5>
<h5>(2) Run Skype for Business Server setup (Setup.exe) on all of the servers you are upgrading;</h5>
<h5>(3) Start the Skype for Business services on all of the servers you upgraded. To start the services in a Front End pool, connect to one of the servers in the pool and run the Start-CsPool cmdlet. All the servers in the pool should be running Skype for Business Server before you use the Start-CsPool cmdlet. To start the services in all other pools (e.g. Edge pool, Mediation pool), run the Start-CsWindowsService cmdlet on every server in the pool;</h5>
<p>Server FQDN: lyncfe01.adeo.local, Pool FQDN: lyncfe01.adeo.local</p>
<p>On Lync FE 01 I&#8217;ll stop all the services using Stop-cswindowsservice</p>

<p>Now on the same server I&#8217;ll load the Skype4B ISO and start the setup</p>
<p>D:\Setup\amd64\Setup.exe</p>

<p>NOTE:</p>
<p>The required time for the upgrade process is estimated around 75-90 Minutes for each FE Server.</p>
