< Go back to step 1

Check if the name of the pool is resolved by your DNS. If yes, Open the Skype for Business Server 2015 Control Panel or access through Internet Explorer. Select the pool that you want to connect.

In the first, I connected through poollync, my pool of Lync Server 2013. Note, in the top, is the Skype for Business Server 2015.

Now, I connected in my Skype for Business Server 2015 pool.

So, let’s move the first user;

 

Nice, check the registrar pool.

 

To the client, the info will be displayed.

 

If you have the latest updates of Lync Server 2013, you can enable the SkypeUI for the clients.

If you try open the Lync Topology Builder, you won’t be able. It happens, because you already have a newest version of the topology builder.

Ok, now check the replication.

Let’s move by Skype for Business Server Management Shell. Wow, is too long….

Move-CsUser -Identity “Administrator” -Target pool.ucsteps.com

Move-CsUser -Identity “david” -Target pool.ucsteps.com -Verbose

Get-CsUser -Identity “Administrator” | fl

Check the Registrar pool….

If you have the Dialin Conference Access Number, the time is now to move…

Move-CsApplicationEndpoint -Identity “primaryURI” -Target “fqdntargetpool”

You can also include -Verbose to have a detailed information.

You need also move Call Park.

Check if you need change Simple URL or only the DNS;

 Also, we need move the RGS, Queue and Groups.

Get-CsService -ApplicationServer

Move the RGS Configurations.

Move-CsRgsConfiguration -Source poollync.ucsteps.com -Destination pool.ucsteps.com -Verbose

 

Check the Group;

 

Check the Queue;

And then, check the Workflow;

So, to make sure that all is working fine, check Get-CsRgsAgentGroup;

Before you start deleting, make sure that you have a valid backup.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202170(v=ocs.15).aspx

You can start delete the least critical group to test to continuous. If all is works fine you can proceed with responsibility and care.

Get-CsRgsQueue

Get-CsRgsWorkflow

Try call to the new RGS.

So, normalization rules. Now Skype for business have a new kind of set the address book.

Let’s go! To see the config you can use

Get-CsAddressBookNormalizationConfiguration.

Bellow, the official link about Address Book Normalization Configuration.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn985965.aspx

Check the Join using legacy client.

Get-CsWebServiceConfiguration

Set-CsWebServiceConfiguration -Identity Global -ShowJoinUsingLegacyClientLink $true

 

Conference Directory;

Conference directories exists to maintain a link between the meeting conference ID and the  numeric-only conference ID’s that participant uses to join to the dial-in conference.

With multiples conference directories, you will ensure that the meeting conference ID will maintain short. However, once the number of conference directories exceed 9, the Conference ID number will grow to support additional conferences.

Get-CsConferenceDirectory

Is time to move the Conference Directory.

Move-CsConferenceDirectory -Identity 1 -TargetPool pool.ucsteps.com
