Note: Sorry this wasn’t posted sooner, there was a bit of a shake-up internally as we tried to decide what all was appropriate to post. I’ve had this post ready for a few days now and have just been waiting for definitive answers from my management. This post represents nearly complete OCS deployment. By the time it ends, we have Enterprise Voice complete. The remaining things we will deploy are the archiving server, the QoE monitoring role, and edge servers.
1:07 PM : Creating UM Dial Plan
Note: there are three important things here. The first is the dial plan name. You’ll see that when I create the location profile in OCS that the name is slcutloc.extendhealth.com. That must match. Second is the URI type – it must be SipName for OCS integration. The last thing is VoIP security, which should be Secured for OCS. (Secured > SipSecured)
Have to add the dial plans to the UM servers – both mail1 and mail2.
1:20 PM : Running ExchUCUtil.ps1
Verified IP gateways. If there were more, I’d have to disable them.
1:31 PM : Creating Location Profiles
I’m not going to comment on this much as there is a lot to say. Screen caps should be sufficient to let you know what I’m doing.
2:07 PM : Running OcsUMUtil.exe
The last step is to integrate from the OCS side by running OcsUMUtil, which creates OCS objects for the auto assistant and subscriber access numbers in Exchange UM. This facilitates access to these numbers from Communicator.
2:10 PM : Assigning a Default Location to the Pool
2:15 PM : Configuring Mediation Servers
2:22 PM : Configuring Policies and Phone Usages
