Verify Pilot Stack Coexistence with Legacy Pool (Office Communications Server 2007)
Topic Last Modified: 2011-04-06
After you deploy the pilot stack and before you begin to migrate from Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, verify the coexistence of the two pools by using the administrative tools to view the pool information. For the Office Communications Server 2007 pool, use the Office Communications Server 2007 administrative tool. For the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 pool, use Lync Server 2010 Control Panel.
To successfully publish, enable, or disable a topology when adding or removing a server role, you should be logged on as a user who is a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins and Domain Admins groups. It is also possible to delegate the proper permissions for adding server roles. For details, see Delegate Setup Permissions in the Deployment documentation. For other configuration changes, only membership in the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group is required.
To verify the pool in Office Communications Server 2007 Administrative Tool
Log on to the computer with an account that is a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group or has equivalent administrator rights and permissions.
Open the Office Communications Server 2007 administrative tool.
Expand the Forest node, expand the Standard Edition Servers or Enterprise pools node, and then expand the pool or server name.
Ensure that the services are running on the Standard Edition server or Front End pool.
To verify the pilot pool in Lync Server Control Panel
Log on to the computer with an account that is a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group or has equivalent administrator rights and permissions.
Open a browser window, and then enter the Admin URL to open the Lync Server Control Panel. For details about the different methods you can use to start Lync Server Control Panel, see Open Lync Server Administrative Tools.
Click Topology.
Verify that the servers you deployed are present in your pilot pool.
To verify Lync Server services have started
Log on to the computer with an account that is a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group or has equivalent administrator rights and permissions.
From the Standard Edition server or Front End Server, open Services from the Administrative Tools group.
