While sporadically building my home lab setup (which has been mainly for my own personal development) I've also been adding to a lab I have setup at my workplace. I've had this lab in place since around 2007 for testing LCS 2005, OCS 2007 and OCS 2007 R2 integration with Mitel, Avaya and Cisco PBXs.
Summary of what the lab has done/can do, by PBX manufacturer:
Mitel 3300
OCS 2007 and OCS 2007 R2 Remote Call Control via Mitel Live Business Gateway (Linux and Windows versions)
Exchange 2007 UM for Mitel handsets homed on the Mitel 3300
Cisco Unified Call Manager (CUCM)
CUCIMOC integration with MOC on OCS 2007 (CUCM 7.0.2)

OCS 2007 R2 Documentation and Setup
Since the last post I have finished off installing OCS 2007 R2 and Exchange 2007 on the home lab setup and have been working on a lab environment elsewhere (see next post).
There isn't much point in going into too much detail on the OCS install as it is relatively straightforward AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THE DOCUMENTATION!
I've setup a number of LCS, OCS07 and OCS07 R2 implementations in the past and the one thing that is critical is to follow the step by step docs from Microsoft if you want a functional setup. If you attempt a Next, Next, Finish approach then it will only take up more time in the future as you have to fiddle around trying to fix things.
Anyway, preaching over, click this link for the Microsoft documentation pack for Office Communications Server 2007 R2, updated Dec 2009.
