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
