Before you configure the Office Communications Server Sync tool, you must install the required files on your Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) server. The files required for the Office Communications Server Sync tool are included in the Lcssync directory of the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Resource Kit.

To install the Office Communications Server Sync tool

  1. On the MIIS computer, in the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Resource Kit, go to the Lscssync directory.

  2. Copy all the files in this directory to the following directory on the MIIS Server: %drive%:\Program Files\Microsoft Identity Integration Server\Extensions.

  3. In Active Directory Domain Services, create an organization unit, or verify that a target organizational unit for your contact objects exists on Office Communications Server in the central forest.

  4. Go to the \Microsoft Identity Integration Server\Extensions folder, and then open Lcscfg.xml.

  5. Use the following format to modify the <target-ou>tag to include the target organization unit of the central forest:

    <rules-extension-properties>

    <lcssync-mas>

    <lcsma name="Lcs Central Forest">

    <target-ou>OU=contacts,DC= yourdomain ,DC=com</target-ou>

    </lcsma>

    </lcssync-mas>

    </rules-extension-properties><target-ou>path to contact organizational unit</target OU>

    For example:

    <target-ou>OU=contactsDC=contosoDC=com</target OU>

  6. If necessary, you can modify Logging.xml to change the file name and logging level. The example below shows the default values in the xml:

    <logging>

    <use-single-log>false</use-single-log>

    <file-name>lcssync.log</file-name>

    <logging-level>1</logging-level>

    </logging>
