The Server Confi guration Wizard provides step-by-step procedures for confi guring each
server role and pool.
The Activation Wizard requests the user input that is necessary to activate local servers.
And fi nally, the Validation Wizard provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step testing procedures
allowing you to know for sure that a deployment has been installed, confi gured, and
activated correctly. It also then checks for you to make sure that the deployment is working
properly.
Management Console Improvements
You can manage your installation much more easily now that the OCS 2007 snap-in for the
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) has been redesigned. Some of these changes
include eliminating clutter, making descriptive text more specifi c, improving discoverability,
and reducing the number of exposed settings to only those that administrators require for
normal operations. The Status pane of this snap-in allows you to confi gure your forest,
domains, pools, servers, and users with ease. You no longer have to navigate through the
MMC to fi nd the specifi c settings you??™re looking for. The Status pane also features a new
Database tab. This tab allows you to query a pool??™s backend user and conferences databases.
Each query is then displayed as an expandable item in a list.
Universal Group Support
An important fact to remember is that OCS 2007 supports the native mode Universal Groups
available in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server operating systems.
