Understanding OCS 2007 settings

OCS 2007 has three level of settings:

Global level settings, Which apply to all computers in forest. Pool level settings, which apply to a standard edition server or all servers in Enterprise Pool. Computer level settings, which is specific to each OCS 2007 computer.

Global-level , pool-level, and computer-level settings are backed up from the Standard Edition server or one front-end server, so only computer-level settings are backed up from other front-end servers, each back-end server, each Web Conferencing Server , each A/V Conferencing Server, and each Archiving and CDR Server.

For restoration:

    In the event of loss of the Active Directory® Domain Services, restoration of all three levels is generally required.

    In the event of an Enterprise pool loss (all front-end servers in an Enterprise pool or the backend server) or the loss of a Standard Edition server, restoration of pool-level and computer-level settings is generally required.

In the event of loss of an individual front-end server, Web Conferencing Server, A/V Conferencing Server, or Archiving and CDR Server, restoration of computer-level settings is generally all that is required.
