To connect your internal servers to your edge servers and configure the internal servers to route outbound traffic to the edge servers, you need to run the Configure Pool Wizard on each pool in your organization.

Tasks

  1. Configure an External Web Farm FQDN
  2. Connect the Pool to the Edge Server

Configure an External Web Farm FQDN

When you created your Enterprise pool, you had the option to configure an external Web farm FQDN on the Web Farm FQDNs page in the Create Pool wizard. If you did not configure this URL when you ran this wizard, you need to manually configure this setting in WMI. For more information, see Appendix E: Manually Configuring the External Web Farm FQDN on Internal Standard Edition Servers or Pools in the document Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 Edge Server Deployment Guide for detailed information.
