Moving Office Communications Server Users
Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 will reach end of support on January 9, 2018. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.
You can move users from one Enterprise pool or Standard Edition Server to another Enterprise pool or Standard Edition Server by using the Move Office Communications Users Wizard in the Active Directory Users and Computers or Office Communications Server 2007 administrative snap-in. To move a user account, both the source and destination must be available and the servers must be running.
Note
You can also move users from the Unassigned Users node to an Enterprise pool or Standard Edition Server. The Unassigned Users node contains all users that are enabled for Office Communications Server, but are not currently assigned to a valid Standard Edition Server pool or Enterprise pool. If the server or pool that a user is assigned to is deactivated or removed from the Office Communications Server environment, the pool assignment becomes invalid and the user account is added to Unassigned Users. Unassigned users cannot sign in using their Communications Server account.
To move Communications Server users
Open Office Communications Server 2007.
In the console tree, expand the forest node, and then navigate to the Standard Edition Server or Enterprise pool that contains the user account that you want to move.
Expand the pool name for the Enterprise pool or Standard Edition Server, and then do one of the following:
To move all users in this node, in the console tree, click Users, right-click Users, and then click Move Users to start the Move Communications Server Users Wizard.
To move only specific users, in the console tree, click Users. In the details pane, select the users that you want to move, right-click the selection, and then click Move Users to start the Move Communications Server Users Wizard.
Complete the Move Communications Server Users Wizard, specifying the following:

Whether to force the move if the server or pool to which you are moving the user is unavailable. If you select this option and the server pool is unavailable, user-specific information is lost, including contact information, Allow and Block data, meeting data, and enhanced presence data.
