    Right near the completion of OCS (2007) Standard I get an error

     

    Failure
    [0xC3EC78D6] The Office Communications Server is currently associated with a different pool. Please deactivate before joining to another pool.

     

    The Only "pools" I know of are in IIS and I can find any association I did have LCS on the System but removed it (I thought Cleanly) before installing OCS

    My searches have borne little fruit to this error

    Looks like you have some stuff left in AD

    Did you uninstall properly?

    Geoff,

     

    Take a look at my blog entry about renaming a Standard Server: https://blogs.pointbridge.com/Blogs/schertz_jeff/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=13

     

    I go into some details regarding where LCS/OCS related content is stored in AD and where to look for old serve/pool names.  I'd bet you still have LCS Server referenced.

     

    You can also take a peak at Chapter 3 in the OCS Resource Kit preview for additional details of where to look in the Active Directory Domain and Configuration containers:

    If you aren't already to far along in the installation I might suggest a complete uninstall of OCS, followed by a manual cleanup of everything in AD related to communications server, then start fresh with a standard server install.

    Hi Geoff,

    I know this post is two years old.  Just curious though - did Jeff's article resolve the "pool" issue you were encountering?  I'm up against the same thing, on an LCS 2005 installation that didn't go so well.  I thought I removed it, and installed on another server.  But that one keeps bombing, saying the pool already exists.  And I have no way of deactivating the original server, as LCS was already removed from it.

    I was hoping to completely remove it, from both servers, but apparently the pool (or a reference to it) still exists somewhere.

    Thanks!
