Appendix D: Active Directory Replication

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 appendix describes the settings for Office Communications Server that, if changed, require Active Directory replication to complete before the settings take effect. These settings include the following:

  • Settings that are changed by using the Office Communications Server 2007 snap-in, as described in Table D-1. This table covers only changes to individual properties. If you use a wizard to change one or more equivalent settings, replication also needs to complete before those settings take effect.

  • Settings changed by using WMI, as described in Table D-2.
