Hi Team,

The following is our requirement and environment, please advise.

Environment 1

Domain1 : Contoso.local
Lync 2013 onpremise server

Environment 2

>> Created the following domain in New AD environment and built new lync machines.

Domain 2: Contoso.co.uk
Lync 2013 onpremise server

Requirement:

1. Wanted to move all configuration (DialPlans, VoicePolicy, Users, ResponseGroups, etc) from the old AD to the new AD on the newly built lync machines.
2. Prepared PowerShell script to get this done.
3. Plan is to export the configuration to the new servers and import those exported config files on the new machines.

Question:

1. Will it work if AD domain is different on each of those servers? Old server has contoso.local and new one has contoso.co.uk.
2. What are the impacts and will we be able to get this done?

Hi Anil

Thank you for the response.

We have prepared a PowerShell script that is based on the technet articles about backing up config files.

Can we use this scripts?

Thanks.

I assume that those are different AD forests?. Even though it's different forest, you can export the Voice routing components, RGS components and import that in to the new setup and it will work fine. For RGS, you need to re assign the agents to the agent groups after importing to the new server. And also, you can export the buddy list of the users and then import that in to the new Lync server as well upon enabling the users. I have done the same setup just exporting and importing using the Lync control panel. Not sure what's the script that you're talking about.
