• One click join from meeting reminder or invite
• Two click sharing
RELIABLE “It works all the time”
• Strong investments in reliability for voice, video, data
• Improved notifications – voice quality warnings, lobby
• Greatly improved diagnostics for admins
ESSENTIAL “It increases my productivity.”
• Collaboration is a natural extension of Voice and IM
• Valuable tools that make online meetings critical
• Browser based client allows cross platform collaboration

6. Rich conference calls Work with people anywhere
Effective Team Meetings Professional Presentations

8. Consider Voice and Web Conferencing scale as part of front end planning
Plan Server Roles & Capacity 250 active desktop/application sharing users (5 per conference) per machine
Plan/improve network capacity based on Voice/Video/Desktop Sharing usage
Consider Network usage
Plan in-band settings to enable/disable features based on needs, network capacity
Plan client features Edge server required for outside (authenticated and anonymous) users
Roll out Cumulative Updates Apply CUs to W13 Front Ends, Communicator and Live Meeting to current desktops
Deploy Servers Step-wise migration from previous server version to CS “14”
Users continue with current clients until ready for next step
Migrate Users Can migrate previous content using resource kit tools
Deploy clients Push clients, or use version check and allow users to download (on-prem or WU)

27. Plan Numbers and Capacity •Add DID numbers and PSTN trunk capacity
Configure Dial Plans •Configure dial-in conferencing regions
Deploy Gateways •PSTN gateways or configure SIP trunking
•Globally or per site*
Configure access numbers •Order of access numbers per conference region (PowerScript cmdlet only)*
Configure DTMF commands* •Globally or per site
Configure PIN security settings •Complexity, expiration, etc.
•Populate correct phone numbers for users (msRTCSIP-Line property)
Enable users for PSTN dial-in •Generate PIN and send welcome email via script
* New in CS 14

28. Problem:
All Conference Attendant (CA) access numbers globally available
User can call 2007R2 CA trying to join a conference hosted on W14 pool.
OCS 2007R2 CA cannot handle lobby (disconnects call)
Solution:
“Inter-pool transfer” transfers the call to W14 CA after conference ID has been entered, preserving
language selection
On OCS 2007 R2 front-ends, requires cumulative update #5 or higher
CA will only accept transfers from another CA, will only transfer if meeting homed in W14 pool
Call picked up by Conference homed in other 2007R2 pool Conference homed in other W14 pool
OCS 2007 R2 CA No transfer Transfer
W14 CA No transfer Transfer

29. Getting to coexistence Coexisting phase: Decommissioning
state months or years W13 pools
• Deploy latest CU to all OCS • W13 access numbers • Migrate COs so that
2007R2 FEs still around they point to a W14
• Move data from OCS • W14 access numbers pool instead of the
2007R2 WMI to W14 starting to be added W13 pool, using
SQUID using PowerShell • Any user can call any PowerShell cmdlets
cmdlets access number to join • Meeting invites
• Move users to W14 pool any meeting that still have W13
(their meetings are (interpool transfer) access numbers will
automatically migrated • Some meetings have now be handled by
also) old invites with W13 CAA14
access numbers • Decommission W13
• New meetings have pool
W14 access numbers
