    After installing OCS can I change the FQDN of the pool?  If so can you point me to any documentation that will help me with this.

     

    Thanks

    No, this is not possible.  However, you could add a new subject alternative name to the certificate you are using and make the appropriate DNS entries to facilitate access to the pool using a different FQDN.

    You cant change the pool name as Mike already posted.

    There are worarounds to force a client to login using a different name than the poolname... Could you share why do you want to change the PoolName?

    Some people didn't like the name.  Say maybe users will get confuse.  But users only have to type that name on the communicator and live meeting client correct?

     

    Thanks

    Actually if you are using DNS for the client configuration then the user will never even see the name of the server they are connecting to.

    Cause MS Exchange 2007 SP1 can't have '_' in the poolname to configure correcly using the ps1 scripts.

     

    kerf_pool01.kerf.com != working poolname in Exchange but works fine in ocs.

     

    as of 24/7 -08 there is still no workaround?
