Checking Pools

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.

This topic describes two actions for checking pools: CheckPoolState and CheckAllPoolsState.

CheckPoolState Action

Use CheckPoolState to troubleshoot or verify the state of an Office Communications Server pool. This action indicates the state of this pools Active Directory information and the pools Enterprise Edition Servers. A syntax example for this action is as follows:

LCSCmd.exe /Forest[:<forestFQDN>] /Action:CheckPoolState /PoolName:<name of pool>

Such as:

LCSCmd.exe /Forest /Action:CheckPoolState /PoolName:Pool01

When you run LCSCmd.exe, the command automatically discovers the global catalog server and primary domain controllers. If you experience problems because these servers are unavailable or network connectivity is poor, you can use optional parameters to specify the global catalog server or domain controllers to use instead. For more information, see Optional LCSCmd.exe Parameters for Domain Controller and Global Catalog Server Discovery later in this document.

CheckAllPoolsState Action

The CheckAllPoolsState action reveals every Enterprise pool and Standard Edition Server in a forest, and indicates each high-level state of the respective pool and server—including their Active Directory information. The syntax for the CheckAllPoolsState action is:

LCSCmd.exe /Forest[:<forestFQDN>] /Action:CheckAllPoolsState

Such as:

LCSCmd.exe /Forest:contoso.com /Action:CheckAllPoolsState

When you run LCSCmd.exe, the command automatically discovers the global catalog server and primary domain controllers. If you experience problems because these servers are unavailable or network connectivity is poor, you can use optional parameters to specify the global catalog server or domain controllers to use instead. For more information, see Optional LCSCmd.exe Parameters for Domain Controller and Global Catalog Server Discovery later in this document.
