I am trying to get a full SharePoint 2013 development lab setup that can support the integration scenarios with Exchange 2013 and Lync 2013, and Office Web Apps 2013, and do it on Single Server (OS: Windows Server 2012). It would be nice if I could at least put Exchange and Lync on the same server. Strange, but I just can't find any documentation on whether this can be done with the 2013 releases.-Amar Trivedi

Hello Amar No you cannot install all this products on a single server technically you need to have separate servers Microsoft has given different requirements for all this products you need to check all the requirements If you have a single server use Hyper-V virtualization and create separate machine for all of them.Thanks Mouzzam Hussain Visit to my Blog mouzzamh.wordpress.com

Thanks Mohammed Mouzzam Hussain for the replay. But if possible, can you tell me which requirements will fall if i Installed them in single server? -Amar Trivedi

Hi Amar Yes you can check the document for Exchange & Sql on same server its not recommend for production lot of issues will come. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997379(v=exchg.80).aspx Thanks Mouzzam Hussain Visit to my Blog mouzzamh.wordpress.com

Amar, For lab purpose, I think, you can accommodate all in one server. But you mayn't be able to test all the features completely by using one server alone. For example, to evaluate DAG, CAS Array etc.. you may require more servers in exchange test lab. Regards from ExchangeOnline

Mohammed Mouzzam Hussain lets say I install SQL server on a different server and I use that SQL server for SharePoint as well as for Lync Server. Then any requirements falls?-Amar Trivedi

Hello Amar, Yes You can use the same SQL version for both Share point and Lync.Thanks Mouzzam Hussain Visit to my Blog mouzzamh.wordpress.com

Mohammed Mouzzam Hussain i think that my question in last post is not clear to you. I know that I can use same SQL server but my question was If I use different SQL server then can I use Lync Server, Exchange Server and SharePoint Server on a Single Server?-Amar Trivedi

Hello Amar I agree with you but the problem Sharepoint and Exchange use IIS settings also since microsoft does not recommend you to install this roles on same server You have option to use Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard for single box solution, which includes both of the exchange 2010 and sharepoint foundation 2010 Some similar threads http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadminlegacy/thread/cdc1d6f7-fad7-437d-922c-ec1017acdc7e http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrgenerallegacy/thread/00da2383-17f4-47fc-89c2-024d74f76809/ Thanks Mouzzam Hussain Visit to my Blog mouzzamh.wordpress.com

Thanks Mohammed Mouzzam Hussain for similar threads.... And now my last question.. Let's say i also install SharePoint Server on DIFFERENT server than can I install Lync Server and Exchange Server on a single Server? -Amar Trivedi
