  • you can't reuse the same server names as you'll need to deploy additional 2007 R2 server to coexist with the 2007 servers.  Once components are deployed then users are moved over to the R2 pool, client software upgraded, and then the old servers can be deactivated and uninstalled.

    See this portion of the OCS 2007 documentation for detailed migration steps:
