Step 5: Configure Associations
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.
To monitor media quality on your Office Communications Server deployment, you need to associate the QoE Monitoring Server with pools and Mediation Servers. After an association is configured, the QoE Monitoring Server will begin receiving media quality reports from the users who are homed on the pools and from calls that are made through the Mediation Servers. This step can be completed now, or it can be completed later, but it needs to be completed before you can monitor media quality.
You use the Configure Associations Wizard in order to select the pools and Mediation Servers that you want the QoE Monitoring Server to monitor.
To configure associations
In the Deployment Wizard, at Step 5: Configure Associations, click Run.
On the Welcome to the QoE Monitoring Server Configure Associations Wizard page, click Next.
On the Pool Selection page, select the Office Communications Server pools that you want to associate with the QoE Monitoring Server. When you are finished, click Next.
On the Mediation Server Selection page, select the Mediation Servers that you want to associate with the QoE Monitoring Server. When you are finished, click Next.
On the Confirmation page, click Next.
When the wizard has completed, select the View the log when you click Finish check box, and then click Finish.
In the log file, verify that <Success> appears under the Execution Result column. Look for <Success> at the end of each task to verify that the associations were configured successfully. When you are finished, close the log window.
You can now view performance counters that describe the media quality for your Office Communications Server deployment. If you want to view reports that show summaries and trends of the media quality, you will need to deploy QoE Monitoring Server Report Pack as described in the following section.
