Moving Office Communications Server Users

You can move users from one Enterprise pool or Standard Edition server to another Enterprise pool or Standard Edition server by using the Move Office Communications Users Wizard in Active Directory Users and Computers or the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in. To move a user account, both the source and destination must be available and the servers must be running.

Note:
You can also move users from the Unassigned usersnode to an Enterprise pool or a Standard Edition server. The Unassigned usersnode contains all users that are enabled for Office Communications Server 2007 R2, but are not currently assigned to a valid Standard Edition server or Enterprise pool. If the server or pool that a user is assigned to is deactivated or removed from the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 environment, the pool assignment becomes invalid and the user account is added to Unassigned users. Unassigned users cannot sign in by using their Office Communications Server account.
