Supportability
issues on Windows Server 2008? |
Finally Microsoft has given green signal
to deploy OCS 2007 in a domain with Windows Server 2008 running as a Domain Controller.
Following are the points which should be considered while deploying Office Communications Server 2007 in a
Windows Server 2008 domain.
Running
Office Communications Server 2007 on a machine running Windows
Server 2008 is not supported.
Office Communications Server
2007 is supported in a domain having Windows Server 2008 as a Domain Controller.
(Provided OCS 2007 itself is not installed on a Windows Server 2008). Again you
need to consider following points:
The
Office Communications Server 2007 can be deployed in a domain
having Windows Server 2008 as a Domain Controller and its a normal deployment.
But if you already have an Office Communications
Server 2007 setup running in a Windows Server 2003 forest, then
you need to prepare your forest once again if you add any Windows Server 2008 Domain
Controller (First time). Otherwise Office
Communications Server 2007 will not work correctly; some UI elements will disappear,
and you will be unable to add more Office Communication Server servers or pools.
To resolve this issue, you need to prepare your forest once again for Office Communications
Server 2007. You can either use Office Communications Server 2007 deployment wizard
or simply reissue one command after the installation of Windows Server 2008, as
follows:
LcsCmd.exe /forest /action:ForestPrep
