After you deploy the pilot stack and before you begin to migrate from Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, verify the coexistence of the two pools by using the administrative tools to view the pool information. For the Office Communications Server 2007 pool, use the Office Communications Server 2007 administrative tool. For the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 pool, use Lync Server 2010 Control Panel.

To successfully publish, enable, or disable a topology when adding or removing a server role, you should be logged on as a user who is a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins and Domain Admins groups. It is also possible to delegate the proper permissions for adding server roles. For details, see Delegate Setup Permissions in the Deployment documentation. For other configuration changes, only membership in the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group is required.

1. Log on to the computer with an account that is a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group or has equivalent administrator rights and permissions.

2. Open the Office Communications Server 2007 administrative tool.

3. Expand the Forest node, expand the Standard Edition Servers or Enterprise pools node, and then expand the pool or server name.
