Running the Lync Stress and Performance Tool

Th e Lync Stress and Performance Tool is not supported when run in a production Active Directory
environment.
Because of the tool’s requirements, and the tool’s high-risk security requirements needed to access
the accounts in Active Directory, it should be run only in test environments.
As a general best practice, any sort of performance testing should be carried out in a separate
environment on hardware identical to that which will be used in production.
