Managing Standard Edition Servers and Enterprise Pools

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.

Initial configuration of Enterprise pools, Standard Edition servers, and any other servers in your environment should have been done during deployment of the individual servers. Post-deployment management of servers and pools for Standard Edition Servers and Enterprise Pools includes the following tasks:

• Viewing the Status of Pools

• Generating and Viewing Database Reports for Enterprise Pools

• Managing Front End Servers

• Managing Web Conferencing

• Managing A/V Conferencing

• Changing Service Account Credentials

• Managing Databases

• Starting and Stopping Services and Deactivating Server Roles

• Removing Servers and Server Roles, Removing Enterprise Pools, and Decommissioning Servers and Pools

Management of external connectivity, Address Book Servers, and usage (including usage of Enterprise Voice and Mediation Servers) requires additional management tasks, which are covered later in this guide.
