Installing the Report Pack

Preparing for installation

Before you install the MessageStats Report Pack for Lync & Skype for Business, you must have MessageStats 7.8 installed. Ensure that the system requirements are met before you install.

Database collocation is not recommended

MessageStats does not support the installation of the MessageStats database in the same SQL Server instance as the Archiving and CDR databases of Microsoft Lync or Skype for Business Server as this would impair server performance.

Also, it is not recommended that you install MessageStats database on the same SQL server as the Lync or Skype for Business Archiving or CDR database. This scenario can result in a performance impact in your Microsoft Lync Server or Skype for Business environment.

For performance and troubleshooting reasons, Microsoft does not recommend configurations in which the server that is hosting an Archiving and/or CDR database is used to host other SQL applications.

Before you install the report pack, verify that you meet the following minimum requirements:
