Do I need to eliminate the current LCS Manager and Accessibility Proxies hosting server before setting up the OCSR2 Manager & Part server?
Can I do the side-by-side installation and eliminate the LCS Manager & AP after I ensure that the OCS R2 Manager & Part Hosts are operating well with the current LCS pool?

Hi Athan,
You don't need to eliminate Live Communication Server Manager because Office Communication Server can support LCS with IM communication. The IM 8.4 integration architecture with LCS/OCS changed so that IM manager is not a proxy between LCS/OCS IM client, the result would be the IM Manager installer changes the listening ports. Look the procedure on IM implementation guide. IM 8.4 can also treat unregistered LCS/OCS as external users. On this setting, the messages between two external users create exception on the event log. See this link for more information, Enterprise Support – Symantec Corp
You can also go to www.nextplane.net. Nextplane offer a federation solution that supports co-existence of LCS/OCS, lync, Sametime and other UC flatform.Â
