Step 6. Test Software Update Service

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 configured your Software Update Service on Office Communications Server, you can test the Software Update Service by adding a test device and using the audit logs to ensure that the correct information is sent to the device.

Testing the Software Update Service involves the following three steps:

  • Step 6.1  Add a Test Device

  • Step 6.2  Restart your Device

  • Step 6.3  Verify the Audit Logs

Step 6.1  Add a Test Device

Use the following procedure to add a test device.

To add a test device

  1. Open the Management Console: Open a browser and type https://<FQDN of a Web Components Server in the pool or your Standard Edition server>/MgmtConsole/default.aspx.

  2. Click the Test Devices tab.

  3. Click Add a new test device.

  4. Under Friendly name, enter a meaningful name for the device.

  5. Under Type, select Mac Address or Serial Number.

  6. Under Unique identifier, enter the MAC address or serial number.

  7. Click Save.

Step 6.2  Restart Your Device

After you have configured the device as a test device, restart the device so that it logs in to the pool or Standard Edition server and receive information about how to contact the Software Update Service.

Step 6.3  Verify the Audit Logs

Use the following procedure to verify that the Software Update Service correctly connected with your test device and sent valid information.

To verify the audit logs

  1. Open the Update Site on your SharePoint Services: Open a browser and type http://<FQDN of SharePoint Server>/sites/UCUpdateServer/default.aspx/.

  2. Under Documents, click Logs.

  3. On the Logs page, click the Server folder.

  4. Click the Audit Folder.

  5. Click the ImageUpdates Folder.

  6. Open the current audit log.

  7. Verify that you see responses similar to the following:

    The following request does not receive a response from the server because the device is running the current version. Reading these files is easier in Notepad with Word Wrap turned off.
