Validate Edge Server Configuration
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.
Use the following procedure to validate edge server configuration.
To validate your server configuration
Log on to each edge server as a member of the RTCLocalServerAdmins group or a group with equivalent user rights.
In the Deployment Wizard, beside Validate Edge Server, click Run to start the Validation Wizard.
On the Welcome page, click Next.
On the Validation Steps page, select the options you want to validate:
Select the Validate Local Server Configuration check box to validate that the server on which you are running is configured correctly.
Select the Validate Connectivity check box to verify that the server has connectivity to internal servers.
Select the Validate SIP Logon (1-Party) and IM (2-Party) check box. This option verifies if your enabled users can log on, and it can only be run after you create and enable your users. You need to run this check on an internal server to validate internal connectivity and verify communications with the edge servers, as described in the next procedure.
Click Next.
If you did not select the Validate SIP Logon (1-Party) and IM (2-Party) option proceed to step 11. If you selected the Validate SIP Logon (1-Party) and IM (2-Party) check box, on the User Account page, do the following:
Type the account name, user sign-in name, and password of a test user or other user who is enabled for SIP.
In the Server or Pool list, click the name of the server or Enterprise pool on which the user account is hosted.
Click Next.
On the Second user account page, do the following:
Type the account name, user sign-in name, and password of a second test user or other user who is enabled for SIP. This account will be used with the first account that you specified to test IM functionality between two users.
In the Server or Pool list, click the name of the server or Enterprise pool on which the user account is hosted.
Click Next.
In the Federation and Public Connectivity page, to test connectivity between federated domains and public IM connectivity, select the Test connectivity of internal and federated users check box, specify the SIP accounts for federated users, and then click Next.
In the wizard completion page, verify that the Check this box to view log files results check box is selected, and then click Finish to exit.
When the Office Communications Server 2007 Deployment Log opens in a Web browser window, verify that Success appears under Execution Result in the action column on the far right side of the screen. Optionally, expand each individual task and verify that the Execution Result shows Success for the task. When you finish, close the log window.
