If you specify a Lync server to store the share on the wizard gives you an error. <br /><br />If you're asking about the SQL Express instance that's installed on Lync front-end servers, there's unfortunately no way around it. The wizard won't let you install any roles until a local copy of the configuration database is setup in SQL Express on the server. <br /><br />And yes, that is incredibly stupid. No idea why the config database (xds) needs to be on every front-end in an enterprise pool.
