Edge Planning Tool for Office Communications Server 2007

Oh, if only I had this utility last year when I was wrapping my head around all the possible OCS edge server configurations and which ones would not work correctly or end up in the unsupported realm.

The Edge Planning Tool asks questions about your proposed or current edge server deployment. The tool uses your answers and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 best practices to generate the following reports:

* Settings that you can use to configure your certificates, DNS services, and firewalls
* Custom documentation for configuring your edge servers, reverse proxy, and next hop server
* A comparison of your answers to Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 best practices

You can grab a copy here.

Originally spotted here, and here.

Needless to say, I'll be keeping this in my bag of goodies to generate reports with.
