You can move a user from your Office Communications Server 2007 R2 pool to your Lync Server 2013 pilot pool using Lync Server 2013 Control Panel or Lync Server 2013 Management Shell. In the example below, in the Registrar pool column, <Office Communications Server> is the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 pool, and all six of these users are connected to this pool. Use the following procedures to move a user to your Lync Server 2013 pool using Lync Server 2013 Control Panel and Lync Server Management Shell.
