Configuration Reminder
1 Windows 2008 R2 with Active Directory + DNS + DHCP + Active Directory Certificate Services step by step for ADCS : http://technet.microsoft.com/enus/library/cc772393(v=ws.10).aspx 1 Windows 2008 R2 (domain joined )where we are going to install the Front-End Server
Network: 10.11.12.0 Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 10.11.12.254 AD + DNS + ADCS: 10.11.12.100 Front-End: 10.11.12.101 Domain: testlab.lan AD: WIN-AD.testlab.lan Lync 2013 Preview: Lync2013Pre.testlab.lan
Put at least 4 or 6 GB for the Front-End as it uses a lot of memory when installing. It would avoid a lot of errors when installing the Front-End components.
3.2.
Office Web App Server Configuration
This is the configuration, I have made for the server where will be installed the Office Web App: FQDN: WIN-OWAppLync.testlab.lan IP: 10.11.12.102

3.4.
Configure a new Office Web App Farm
Import-module OfficeWebApps
New-OfficeWebAppFarm –InternalUrl http://WIN-OWAppLync –AllowHttp –EditingEnabled This last command will create a new farm for the Office Web App. AllowHttp is used to allow HTTP connections EditinEnabled enable editing in a Sharepoint 2013 Preview environment More information about it here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219455(v=office.15).aspx#prerequisites
A mistake has been made from my previous command. We configured, in the previous lab, the connection to be https. In order to change this, you can execute this command Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm –InternalURL https://WIN-OWAppLync.testlab.lan
