While researching Tuesday’’s post on virtualization, I came across this link. It was too helpful not to give it its own post.

Microsoft.com — Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Capability Planning Tool

This software download (free) helps you determine how well OCS would work in your current infrastructure. If the network can handle it now, or if you”d need some new hardware.

Once you”ve determined those things, you can consult the Capability Planning Tool for documentation on installing OCS.

Install this tool only in a test environment, however. Not anything production. Wouldn”t want to mess up connections by accident, right?
