Step 3. Set Up Edge Servers

  • Article

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.

After setting up the infrastructure for edge servers, use the procedures in this section to set up edge servers:

  • If appropriate, deploy a load balancer.

  • Install edge servers.

  • Activate edge servers.

  • Configure edge servers.

  • Set up certificates for the internal interface.

  • Set up certificates for the external interface.

  • Set up A/V Conferencing certificates for the internal network.

  • Configure the load balancer, if appropriate.

Deploying a load balancer and configuring the load balancer are required only in the scaled single-site edge topology and the data center of the multiple-site edge topology. Deployment of a load balancer for the remote site of the multiple-site edge topology is not recommended or supported.
