Validate Web Components Server Configuration

Topic Last Modified: 2009-04-28

Use the following procedure to validate your Web Components Server configuration.

If you are using a load balancer with Office Communications Server Enterprise Edition, the validation wizard will fail if the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the virtual IP (VIP) used by your Web Components Servers is not configured as a host name that is allowed to send loopback requests on Internet Information Services (IIS). To configure IIS to allow loopback from the load balancer, see Configuring IIS to Allow Load Balancer FQDN for Loopback.

Note

If you did not configure Enterprise Voice or deploy Edge servers, you will get the following warning messages:

  • “One or more phone usages are not assigned to any route or VOIP policy. Warning [0x43FC200C] Not all checks were successful.”
  • “Federation: Disabled. Warning [Ox43FC200C] Not all checks were successful.”
You can safely ignore these warnings.

You can perform additional validation of server functionality by using the steps described in the Validation and Troubleshooting Hints in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 topic in the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Troubleshooting documentation.

To validate your Web Components Server configuration

    • Insert the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 CD, and then click one of the following:
      • Enterprise Edition
      • Standard Edition
    • If you are installing from a network share, browse to the \Setup\amd64 folder on the network share, and then double-click one of the following:
      • setupEE.exe
      • setupSE.exe

  3. In the deployment tool, do one of the following:

    • For Enterprise Edition, click Deploy Pools in a Consolidated Topology.

    • To validate that the Office Communications Server is configured correctly, select the Validate Local Server Configuration check box.
    • To verify that clients have connectivity to the IIS directories where the Address Book information, group expansion and meeting content and compliance data are stored, select the Validate Connectivity check box.

  8. Click Next.

  9. When the wizard is complete, select the View the log when you click ‘Finish’ check box, and then click Finish.
