Topologies

Abstract

You can deploy Live Communications Server in a variety of configurations. Since it’s nearly impossible for the development team to cover all the possible configurations, the product team has defined a set of topologies supported by Product Support Services. Since Live Communications Server uses Active Directory, it must be deployed within a forest environment. Multiple Standard Edition Servers and Enterprise pools deployed within a single Active Directory forest can communicate with each other. Standard Edition Servers and Enterprise pools deployed in different Active Directory forests can communicate with each other only over a federation connection. The “Single-Forest Topologies” section covers unique types of topologies supported within a single Active Directory forest.
