To add to the info Tommy gave you, here's the deployment information for Enterprise Voice:

Great, thanks. Also for the voice, can that work securely if you are outside the network too?

Wednesday, August 04, 2010 10:54 PMAlso, this should be on a separate server, right?

Yes, you will need a separate server for the mediation server. For voice to work outside of the corporate LAN you would also need an edge server (another physical box with 2 NICs).
Hope this helps!

Jag,
Enterprise or Standard Server version and or OS do not matter in this scenarion, your mediation server can be standard. The only time you would use Enterprise OCS would be if you would like a highly available solution, which requires multiple front end servers.
As far as the Client Access License (only the piece of paper) you would have to have an ECAL (Enterprise Client Access License) for any users doing Enterprise Voice or multi-party functions.
Can you show me the context in which you saw direction to use "Enterprise when installing mediation"?
Hope this helps!

Great, thanks; it seemed the server installed and activated fine. I just have 2 final issues:
1. Mediation service wont start with the service account - does it need special permissions?
2. For the 2 nics - the VOIP phone system we use is in another subnet, does this mean I have to move the Mediation server to that subnet? It can communicate to
this server. Or can I have 1 nic in the trusted subnet and 1 nic facing the DMZ (edge server)?
Thanks

Jag,
Make sure you have a certificate assigned and the service account password is correct. Also check the event log for errors.
The NIC configuration should be:
1 NIC on the same subnet as VoIP phone system, this NIC should only have an IP and netmask defined.
1 NIC on the same subnet as the OCS Front End Server, this NIC should have IP, Netmaks, Gateway, DNS etc...
There is no need for a DMZ NIC on the mediation server.
Hope this helps!
