So, a best practice is to wait until all users have been
moved to OCS 2007 and have had their client software upgraded from MOC 2005 to
MOC 2007, before you turn on the new features of OCS 2007.
Choosing the Right Time
to Migrate from MOC 2005 to MOC 2007
Besides migrating servers and user accounts from LCS 2005 to OCS 2007, you will also need
to choose the right time to migrate from MOC 2005 to MOC 2007. The fi rst thing you need
to know is that MOC 2007 won??™t work in an LCS 2005 environment, so it is clear that the
client software migration will not happen until after you migrate your servers to OCS 2007.
Because the MOC 2005 client will run against a new OCS 2007 server, you may think
that keeping the MOC 2005 client and not migrating to the new MOC 2007 client will
make the migration easy because you won??™t have to touch user desktops. However, if you
don??™t plan to migrate to the MOC 2007 client, you shouldn??™t waste your time migrating the
front-end servers to OCS 2007 in the fi rst place. Most likely, you are migrating from LCS
2005 to OCS 2007 to get the new features in OCS 2007. And you cannot take advantage of
those new features until you actually have the users running the MOC 2007 client. So, you

will need to migrate the client systems from MOC 2005 to MOC 2007; the decision is
really a matter of ???when.???
Migrating Immediately to MOC 2007
One approach for migrating the client is to migrate the user??™s system from MOC 2005 to
MOC 2007 as soon as the user??™s account is migrated from LCS 2005 to OCS 2007.
