I see the main issue is that the OS is a standard OS build not spcific to OCS so turning on the OS portion like the packet scheduler could be a little harder. Thanks for the good sense comment though. I will make sure when I get a chance to pass this on to the product group.Chris Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200178774058910421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158853543793456735.post-55303037531613111162010-04-05T11:13:18.946-07:002010-04-05T11:13:18.946-07:00Okay, so now I must ask the obvious question... Si...Okay, so now I must ask the obvious question... Since having OCS and MOC enabled for QoS when the network is not yet configured for QoS (or) it is configured for QoS but not yet configured to trust the QoS marked packets from OCS then why isn't QoS simply enabled on OCS servers and MOC clients by default when they are installed? That would make it easier for OCS deployments that may need QoS now while those deployments that do not need it are not impacted but are at least ready for it just in case they need it in the future. This would simplfy the OCS admins experience.Henrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158853543793456735.post-70480160160280502532010-04-01T08:05:25.344-07:002010-04-01T08:05:25.344-07:00Hi Henry

If packets are marked but the network is not setup to honor those markings it won’t adversely the performance of OCS or OC just by enabling QoS on OCS. This may also be a good comparison for you to see how OCS performs before and after QoS is turned on the network to see if it has an overall improvement in performance. The monitoring server will be able to help you see if the trending data changes as QoS is enabled across your network.<br /><br />Cheers<br />ChrisChris Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200178774058910421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158853543793456735.post-71276489238269478342010-04-01T08:00:17.375-07:002010-04-01T08:00:17.375-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chris Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200178774058910421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158853543793456735.post-54148358445836700682010-04-01T05:47:45.088-07:002010-04-01T05:47:45.088-07:00Is there any harm in enabling QoS on the Front-End...Is there any harm in enabling QoS on the Front-End pool, Mediation servers, and Communicator clients before QoS is enabled on the network switches and routers? I have a customer that will enable QoS on their network later this year but I am on site now performing an Enterprise Voice installation and would like to configure QoS in OCS and MOC now so that I do not have to come back later to enable it.Henrynoreply@blogger.com
