Installing Restoration Tools

Topic Last Modified: 2009-05-22

The tools required to restore service are the same as those used to back up settings and data. If you are restoring service to a server where the required tool is already installed, you do not have to install it on that server unless you rebuild the server. The tools required include the following:

  • Office Communications Server 2007 R2 administrative tools, which are used for much of the ongoing administration of Office Communications Server. They include the Office Communications Server snap-in, along with other tools used to manage some of the optional components, such as Group Chat and Communicator Web Access. Most Office Communications Server 2007 R2 tools can be installed on any server running Office Communications Server 2007 R2, as well as on other computers (such as administrative consoles), except for the Group Chat Server Configuration Tool, which is automatically installed by default on each computer running Group Chat Server or the Group Chat Compliance service. For details about these administrative tools, see Administrative Consoles in the Planning and Architecture documentation.
  • LCSCmd.exe, which is used to import settings to the server on which service is being restored. This tool is available on any computer on which you have installed the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 administrative tools (such as a management console). By default, these tools are in the \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 folder on the computer.
  • Communicator Web Access administrative snap-in, which is used to import settings for Communicator Web Access virtual servers. This tool can be installed on any server in the domain running Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and Communicator Web Access and any computer in the domain on which Office Communications Server 2007 R2 administrative tools are installed separately. For details about these administrative tools, see Administrative Consoles in the Planning and Architecture documentation.
  • Database tools:
    • To restore databases on Standard Edition servers, use SQL Server Management Studio Express in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with SP2.
    • To restore databases on Enterprise pool back-end servers or any other Office Communications Server database in your deployment, use SQL Server Management Studio in SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2005 with SP2.
      The appropriate SQL Server version should already be installed on each server that hosts a database, either as a result of the original deployment or rebuilding the server. For details, see Setting Up Server Platforms.
  • File system management tool(s) used by your organization to restore file shares.

If the required tools are not already installed on each server from which you will be restoring service, install the tools before you proceed.
