Determine and create a common domain Windows administration account.
This account is used by all of the web servers in this cluster. It starts Web Conferencing services and allows all web servers in this cluster to access the shared storage location by using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path.
After creating the account, write down the value, which you will need later.
Note: Enter different values for your internal and external clusters.
Determine and create a shared storage location.
You can create this folder on the same machine as your first internal web server, or on a separate machine. Keep in mind that this shared storage location is where attachments are stored and, therefore, where all web servers in this cluster go to find attachments.
After creating the location, write down the value as a UNC path, for example, \\servername\shared folder\MPWeb.

(Optional) Read Installing Web Conferencing for a Segmented Meeting Access Configuration to understand the difference between internal and external servers.
