Step 4. Configure the Environment

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 you have set up your edge servers and load balancers, you need to set up your environment, including access restrictions and user settings, as appropriate to your organization. To do this, use the procedures in this section to do the following:

  • Configure federation with federated partners or audio conferencing providers (ACP)

  • Configure global settings for anonymous users

  • Configure users for federation, remote user access, and public connectivity

  • Connect your internal servers with your edge servers
