Activating Conferencing Servers (Command Line)

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 will reach end of support on January 9, 2018. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

Depending on the role you specify, you can use the MCU context to activate the A/V Conferencing Server (AVMCU), IM Conferencing Server (IMMCU), Telephony Conferencing Server (ACPMCU), Web Conferencing Server (DATAMCU), and Application Sharing Server (ASMCU). Use the following syntax to install a conferencing server.

LCSCmd.exe /MCU:<MCU Server FQDN> /Action:Activate /Role:<role> /PoolName:<pool name> /Password:<Account Password> [/RefDomain:<Domain FQDN>] [/PDCRequired[:{TRUE|FALSE}]] [/GlobalSettingsDC:<FQDN of a global settings domain controller>] [/DC:<domain controller FQDN>] [/GC:<Global Catalog FQDN>] [/Global:{Configuration | System}] [/User:<Account Name>] [/NoStart[:{TRUE|FALSE}]] [/Force[:{TRUE|FALSE}]] [/L:<log file path>] [/XML[:{TRUE|FALSE}]] [/?[:{TRUE|FALSE}]]

Such as:

LCSCmd.exe /MCU /Action:Activate /Role:AVMCU /PoolName:Pool01 /Password:My$tr0ngPwd
