With the introduction of Windows Fabric in Lync 2013, user services data is now written to 3 RTCLOCAL\RTC replicas in the FE Pool, known as the primary, secondary and tertiary replicas. This data is then lazily written to the backend

the RTCLOCAL databases. This brief post walks through what needs to be installed on the LyncFE Server to get SSMS 2012 running.
