Authorize Connection to Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Edge Server
Topic Last Modified: 2011-07-15
For each Lync Server 2010 Front End Server or Standard Edition server and each Director in your pilot pool, you must update the list of internal servers that are authorized to connect to the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Edge Server. Without these updates, external audio/visual (A/V) conferencing for users joining by using the legacy Edge Server will not work. This topic explains how to add the Lync Server 2010 Front End Server or Standard Edition server and Director in your pilot pool to the list of servers that are authorized to connect to the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Edge Server.
