Note: A person by the name of Simo notified me that Exchange is not required for group expansion. But in a production environment, you can use the same namespace for both Exchange and OCS. In the case of our lab, I am only using Exchange to show distribution group expansion within OCS. You would have an Active Directory domain, and then use a different namespace for SMTP/SIP. The method I am using would be the same thing. For example, in many organizations, their domain may be domain.local while their SMTP namespace will be.
The reason I am doing this is to show you how you can set up your SIP namespace to be different from your Active Directory domain which is not uncommon. Click Run to Continue.Īs stated previously, we will be using a SIP domain that is different from our Active Directory domain. We are now on Step 4 which is to Configure our Pool and Configure DNS. Configure Web Components Server Certificate.Configure a Load Balancer (Completed in Part 2).Create an Enterprise Pool (Completed in Part 2).Prepare Active Directory (Completed in Part 2).When installing OCS in a consolidated Enterprise Edition deployment, you would perform the following steps: Part 5 Front End OCS 2007 Server Installation We will begin the steps needed to validate our configuration to make sure the Front End OCS Server is healthy. This includes going through the initial configuration of the pool, certificates, and adding our Front End Server to our newly created pool that uses a SIP namespace () that is separate than our AD Namespace (). In this Part, I will go over the remaining steps required to deploying our Front End Server in an Enterprise Pool Deployment. In Part 2, we went over the preparation and installation of a Front End OCS 2007 Server Pool which were the first few steps in deploying OCS in an Enterprise Deployment. We first discussed what the lab setup is going to be using VMware Workstation, and then proceeded to the configuration of our Enterprise Certificate Authority.
That goal is how to deploy a single Enterprise Edition OCS Server which is connected to an 圆4 SQL Server 2005 SP2 Back-End Server. In Part 1, we started off by discussing the goal of this lab.
Welcome to Part 3 of this article series.
