Updating Pools (Command Line)

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.

Pools can be updated by using the UpdatePoolBackend action.

UpdatePoolBackend Action

The UpdatePoolBackend action updates an existing SQL Server back-end database while preserving the Enterprise pool. This procedure:

  • Should be run during a planned downtime period.

  • Requires you to stop each Enterprise Edition server within an Enterprise pool.

  • Requires that data be exported from old databases in a scale-up scenario and then imported into new back-end databases after the UpdatePoolBackend action is completed.

  • Requires a user with RTCDomainServerAdmins credentials.

  • Requires the /PoolName and /Poolbe parameters.

An example of the syntax for the UpdatePoolBackend action follows.

LCSCmd.exe /Forest[:<forest FQDN>] /Action:UpdatePoolBackend /PoolName:<Pool Name> /PoolBE:<Pool BackEnd server FQDN\SQL instance name>

Such as:

LCSCmd.exe /Forest /Action:UpdatePoolBackend /PoolName:Pool01 /PoolBE:Pool01Backend.childdomain.domain.com\sql_server_instance_name
