Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Enterprise Edition uses five shared folders, which need to be created on a dedicated file server before you create an Enterprise pool. The five folders are as follows:

• Presentations, for meeting presentations to be downloaded or streamed

• Metadata, for meeting information that is used internally by the Web Conferencing Server component

• Address Book, for download files that the Address Book Server creates and which Office Communicator, Office Communicator Phone Edition, and Office Communicator 2007 R2 Attendant clients download

• Applications, for files that are used internally by the application server component

• Updates, for files that are used for client and device updates

For details about these shared folders, see Storage Requirements in the Planning and Architecture documentation. For details about the permissions created for these folders by the Create Pool Wizard, see Permissions Created by the Create Pool Wizard in Deploying Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Enterprise Edition in the Deployment documentation.
