Confirm that a Front End Pool or Front End Server is Vacant

Topic Last Modified: 2011-04-06

To remove an Enterprise Edition Front End pool or Standard Edition Front End Server, you move or remove contact objects, application objects, and route assignments. If you are setting up a new pool or server, you should move the objects and routes, if possible. If you are completely decommissioning the deployment and do not plan to continue using the objects and routes, you should remove the objects and route assignments.

The set of procedures in this topic identify that the pool or server is vacant and no longer has references to objects and routes. If a procedure indicates that objects or routes still exist, see the links to the appropriate procedures to move or remove them in the Notes.

All procedures in this topic use the Lync Server Management Shell and Topology Builder on the Enterprise Edition Front End pool or Standard Edition Front End Server, based on what you use in your deployment. The procedures function on both Enterprise Edition pools and Standard Edition servers.

To open the Lync Server Management Shell

Log on to the computer where Lync Server Management Shell is installed as a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group or with the necessary user rights as described in Delegate Setup Permissions.
Start the Lync Server Management Shell: Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Lync Server 2010, and then click Lync Server Management Shell.

To open Topology Builder

Log on to the computer where Topology Builder is installed as a member of the Domain Admins group and the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group.
Start Topology Builder: Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Lync Server 2010, and then click Lync Server Topology Builder.

Confirm that voice configuration has been vacated

To confirm that the voice components have been moved or removed, perform the procedures in this section.

To confirm that voice routes are not pointing to the pool or server

In the Lync Server Management Shell, type:
```
Get-CsVoiceRoute | select Identity,PstnGatewayList
```
The list should not return routes that are configured on this pool or server, or that point to a Mediation Server that you plan to remove.

Note

For details, see Move Enterprise Voice Routes and Remove Enterprise Voice Routes.

To confirm that dial plans are not using the pool or server

In the Lync Server Management Shell, type:
```
Get-CsDialPlan -Identity registrar <PoolorServerFQDN>
```
Where <PoolorServerFQDN> is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the pool or server that you want to remove. The result should not list any dial plans that point to the pool or server.
In Topology Builder, check PSTN gateways to confirm that there is no dependency on the pool or server that you want to remove.
Using the management tool supplied by the PSTN gateway vendor, confirm that the incoming route points to a pool or server that is not going to be removed. Or, if you are decommissioning the entire deployment, remove the incoming route.

Note

For details about how to do this, see the PSTN gateway documentation.
