We have been running OCS 2007 r2 for the past few years before that ocs 2007. It all works but we want to migrate over to Lync 2013.
I am trying to set up Lync 2013 then move user over to the new front end server.
I run domain prep no problems everything replicates over.
Next I try forest prep but it fails because a group its trying to create already exists (due to my current ocs install). We have one forest and one domain.
Here is the error:

I saw some post with the same problem but I didnt see a real solution posted. I want to migrate to Lync 2013 without having to remove the currently working OCS 2007 R2. I've also run into the same error when trying to migrate to Lync 2010.
