Users aren’t the only things that need to be migrated in many scenarios. Response Group configuration also needs to be migrated from Office Communications Server to Lync Server 2010. The Move-CsRgsConfiguration cmdlet is used to migrate the Response Group to Lync. An example is shown in the following:

Move-CsRgsConfiguration –Source "ocsr2.companyabc.com" –destination
"Lyncfe2.companyabc.com" -verbose

Ensure this command completes successfully by running the Get-CsRgsConfiguration cmdlet. The syntax is as follows:

Get-CsRgsConfiguration –Identity <RgsIdentity>
