Thanks, that is what I was hoping to hear. &nbsp;I guess it's not a horrible process to move the global settings in OCS 2007, but I just didn't want to chance something going wrong if I really didn't need to. &nbsp;I'm guessing the majority of smaller installs don't need to bother with this then. &nbsp;My main and only concern was if it would affect future releases or not, so with that said, thanks for the info. &nbsp;That was exactly what I was looking for.

I have read all the documentation on whether this is necessary or not to move the global settings when you move to OCS 2007 R2. &nbsp;My organization is small, and I'm not too worried about it, but I was thinking I should do it just because it seems to be best practice. &nbsp;However, my question is if I don't do it then will it affect future releases of OCS? &nbsp;Or in the next release of OCS will it put the global settings where they should be and not require me to manually do it? &nbsp;I'd just like to upgrade right now from OCS 2007 to 2007 R2, not bother with the moving global settings, and when the next release comes out it won't matter anyway. &nbsp;
