2. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2, Communicator Web Access.

3. In the console tree, expand the name of the computer hosting the virtual server to be exported, right-click the name of the virtual server, and then click Export Configuration File.

4. In the Office Communicator Web Access Export Wizard, on the Welcome page, click Next.

5. On the Choose Destination Location page, select a path name for the exported file by doing one of the following:

   • To use the default path, click Next.
   • To save the file under a different path, click Select. In the Save As dialog box, type a new file path in the File Name box and then click Save. On the Choose Destination Location page, click Next.
