You can move a user from your Lync Server 2010 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, pool01.contoso.net is the Lync Server 2010 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.

  1. Open the Lync Server Management Shell.

  2. At the command line, type the following:

    Copy Code
