Part I: Deploy the QoE Monitoring Server

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 will reach end of support on January 9, 2018. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

Before you begin to deploy the QoE Monitoring Server, ensure that you have downloaded and installed the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 QoE Monitoring Server installer package, OCSQms.msi. By default, the Web download installer will be installed at <drive>:\Office Communications Server\QMS\setup\i386\.
