68 Chapter 3 ??? Installing the First OCS 2007 Front-End Server
Introduction
In the previous two chapters, we covered a variety of material to set the stage for implementing
Microsoft Offi ce Communications Server (OCS) 2007. Now, we will spend the next several
chapters explaining a typical OCS implementation, and walking you through the installation
process.
Many optional server roles can be put into action in an OCS 2007 implementation;
however, one role in particular must exist to offer basic presence functionality within
your environment: the front-end server. In this chapter, we will discuss the installation
and confi guration of not just the OCS bits, but also the prerequisite applications and
services that must be in place. The key to a successful OCS implementation is to get
the front-end server confi guration right the fi rst time, because this is where the user
interaction with OCS takes place.
