Before your upgrade is operational and can home and route users, you must verify that the Active Directory Domain Services have completed the first replication cycle on the full released version of the pool and server for all the domains that have users enabled. The procedures are different for Standard Edition servers and Enterprise pools.

To verify that user replication is complete on a Standard Edition server

  1. Open the Event Viewer: Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administration Tools, and then click Event Viewer.

  2. Click Application Logs, and then click the Sourcecolumn to sort by source.

  3. Look for Office Communications User Replicator as the source and event ID 30024. The event displays the following text:

    User Replicator has completed initial synchronization of domain <domain name> (DN: <distinguished name>) and the database. Future synchronization for this domain will occur as changes are made in Active Directory.

    Check this event for all the domains that have users enabled for Office Communications Server.

To verify that user replication is complete on an Enterprise pool

  1. Only one server in the pool is assigned the user replication task. Determine which server in the pool runs the user replicator: On the Back-End Database Server for the pool, run the Dbanalyze tool. (This tool is available in the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Resource Kit.) The syntax is as follows:

    Copy Code
    Dbanalyze.exe /report:diag /poolfqdn:<fqdn_of_pool>
    

    In the report that appears, determine which server performs user replication. In the following example, server03 is assigned the user replication task.

    Copy Code
    Task Name						Fqdn
    -----------------				-------
    Endpoint Expiration			server01.contoso.com
    Subscription Expiration		server02.contoso.com
    User Replication				 server03.contoso.com
    Nightly Maintenance			server04.contoso.com
    
  2. On the server that is assigned user replication, open the Event Viewer: Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administration Tools, and then click Event Viewer.

  3. Click Application Logs, and then click the Sourcecolumn to sort by source.

  4. Look for Office Communications Server User Replicator as the source and event ID 30024. The event displays the following text:

    User Replicator has completed initial synchronization of domain <domain name> (DN: <distinguished name>) and the database. Future synchronization for this domain will occur as changes are made in Active Directory.

    Check this event for all the domains that have users enabled for Office Communications Server.
