Office Communication Server 2007 R2

Can the iChat 5.0.3 client establish encrypted connections to Office Communication Server 2007 R2?
My employer has set up an OCS 2007 R2 Edge server for which I configured the external DNS. I've tried Messenger for Mac 7 and found that it worked. Which led me to wonder if iChat supported SIP connections over port 443 or whatever port is specified in an SIP.TLS SRV record?

Hi,
To be frank I don't know.
It was the main reason for posting the link to the iChat Server forum and giving you the one name of a regular poster who I thought might be able to help.
iChat has problems, particularly in Leopard if the iChat app senses more than one Internet connection. This mainly effects it's A/V and Screen Sharing connections.
This List of "Well Known Ports for Apple Apps" may help if you look at the single and group of ports I listed earlier (it does not List the Distinction between iChat 4 and above compared to Earlier versions).
Its lists which port does what sort of streaming.
This Article lists the ports as I have already listed for iChat 3 and earlier but has some Notes underneath the final table that may offer some insights (I suggest item 4)
This article lists the Changes (without telling you they are changes) but leaves out the Jabber and Bonjour ports (Hence the link to the first article).
The first article does tell you in the last note that port 5678 connects iChat to a server called SNATMAP (snatmap.mac.com) which is essential in the SIP Invite bit as this is Apple's SIP server.
I have never seen any references that says iChat in the AV chats uses TLS or other security protocols.
A Buddy List can use an SSL Login to the relevant server to Login. This is only for the Login stage. It is unclear if the Text Chats are also subject to this (most 1-1 IM chats are on the Login port)
Group Chats and File Sending from an AIM Buddy list move to port 5190 (if login is different) and the UDP Protocol.
MobileMe Uses can Encrypt Chats to other MobileMe users. This may apply to Video and Audio chats but I have never had a MobileMe (or it's .Mac predecessor) to experiment if that happens over Audio and Video chats.
I also know that in Failed A/V chats to AIM on a PC user the Log details that the AIM users is using port 5061 for SIP.
The Log does not indicate that it is with TLS or not. (most fail on Windows Firewall issues or Routers not having port open in the routing device at both or either end).
A Client iChat would only contact a iChat Server to perform the Buddy List Login.
Essentially you would not have to be at the same location to do this.
Any A/V chat would be "negotiated" separately from that via the SNATMAP server.
At Connection the A/V chat is Peer-to-Peer.
As part of the SIP negotiations a Ping is sent to Confirm that where the Visible Invite went to from the Buddy list is the same place, IP-wise, that the SIP response is coming from.
On another tack.
An iChat Client can be made to connect to an MSN/Live Buddy using a Jabber Buddy list that is also registered with a Jabber Server that is running an MSN transport.
This can allow Text Chats only (Instructions)
Apple have always said they deem iChat to be an SIP/VoIP app (but have never enabled full VoIP to POTS connections).
Looking at the OCS 2007 R2 site it appears that Microsoft are moving toward SIP/VoIP and I was unaware of that.
It has been a while since I checked out MSN for Mac to know it has got A/V capabilities yet (As an alternative)
Trillian for Mac seems to have been stuck in Alpha for ever and does not mention Video. (The previous Windows version could video over several Services).
Summary.
More info about how iChat works (I later think I was missing the point)
Info on using iChat and the MSN service
One possible alternative and the "most likely" that has been stuck at that stage for years. (The windows version moved from Trillian Pro to Trillian Astra about a year ago and we {Mac Users} have been waiting at last that time again on top).
I hope that the real question was can iChat hook up to the MSN network via the OCS 2007 R2 and I have given you enough info to suggest it cannot be done.
It is late here and it will be my tomorrow before any further replies.

Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows Server 2008 R2 domains

   Hello to all, there are two confliting articles about this topic:
   1-
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/upgrade-domain-controllers-to-windows-server-2008-r2(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Whatsnew : this one says that it does not work "The Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows
Server 2008 R2 domains". This article was updated in 2013.
   2-
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692314(office.13).aspx: this other article says that it will function "Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Group Chat will function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest". This article was updated in
2010 and was refered by the first one.
   What is the correct support position for Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 domains?
   Regards, EEOC.

Hi,
I notice the following sentence in the link below “Office Communications Server 2007 R2, Group Chat will not function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest or when Group Chat member servers are joined to a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain.
We know of an issue with changes in Windows 2008 R2 that requires a Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfix. The Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfixes are currently scheduled for mid-April 2010.”
http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2010/11/06/supportability-for-office-communications-server-2007-r2-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx
So in my opinion, if you update to the latest version of Windows Server 2008 R2, OCS Server 2007 R2 and Group Chat Client, Group Chat Admin Tools to the latest version, it should work.
However, the best method for you is make a lab to test the problem firstly.

How to Configure MS Office Comminication Server 2007 with WebCenter Spaces?

Hello All,
Has anyone successfully configured MS Office Comminication Server(OCS 2007) with WebCenter 11g Spaces?
I have installed the RTCServices on the MS OCS server, and wll the services and wsdls are accessible. The IM is working with MS Communicator and also Communicator Web Access (CWA). The Webcenter administrator guide does not have any configuration information about how to use the RTCServices (extracted from Oracle's owc_lcs.zip, part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Companion 11g).
In the EM's webcenter control -->Settings -->Service Configuration, I tried to create a new IM service and an External Application but not sure what the URL to use.
If anyone have a successful OCS 2007 integration, could you please share your configuration steps?
Thanks,
Johnny

Hi,
I am also facing the same issue, not sure about what url to use. And also the login webservice doesn't work while I am testing using http://localhost:81/RTC/RTCService.asmx. It always throwing the following error
" Unable to cast COM object of type 'RTCLib.RTCClientClass' to interface type 'RTCLib.IRTCClient'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{07829E45-9A34-408E-A011-BDDF13487CD1}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE))."
Is the current owc_lcs.zip support MS Office Communication Server 2007?
Please share the configuration step if anyone already integrated OCS 2007.
Thanks,
-Mukesh.

URGENT: Microsoft Office Communicator (OCS) 2007

Hello Guys, it will be great if anyone of you can reply to my below question, I need answer urgently. Please
On Microsoft Office Communicator (OCS) 2007, I have the following questions:
Are the chats saved on local machine (at client end) or are they saved on the server?
If one of the two participants in the chat conversation has quit the organization, what is the way to retrieve it? Essentially, whose name comes in the 'From'
section in the saved conversation history - is the person initiating the conversation or is there some other criteria? For example:
Can it be like below chat conversation?
From: Surname2,
Firstname2 [[email protected]]
Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 3:56 PM
To: SURNAME1 FIRSTNAME1; Surname2, Firstname2
Subject: XYZ
Surname1, Firstname1 [06:22]: Hi
Surname2, Firstname2 [06:22]: Hello

"Are the chats saved on local machine (at client end) or are they saved on the server?"
Chats can be saved in the conversation history folder of the Exchange inbox. They can also be archived to a separate SQL server if this was configured in OCS. Whether they're kept "locally" or not depends on if cached mode was enabled
for Outlook or if they exported to PSTs.
"If one of the two participants in the chat conversation has quit the organization, what is the way to retrieve it? Essentially, whose name comes in the 'From'
section in the saved conversation history - is the person initiating the conversation or is there some other criteria? For
example: Can it be like below chat conversation?"
If we're talking about conversation history in Outlook, it might say "Conversation with [other person]".
It's not so much from anyone, as it contains participants. If it's in SQL, because you enabled archiving and it hasn't been purged, then they will be individual messages to each other, so you'll search both from and to. You may be able to retrieve
it from Exchange, if the mailbox exists and they haven't deleted it, or from backups.

Office Communicator 2007 (OCS)

For Microsoft Office Communicator (OCS) 2007, I have the following questions:

If one of the two participants in the chat conversation has quit the organization, what is the way to retrieve it? Essentially, whose name comes in the 'From' section in the saved conversation - is the person initiating the conversation or is there some

Will the name format in the saved log in 'From' differ from the format used in the chat conversation? Essentially, will the capitalisation or the layout (i.e. ''SURNAME1, FIRSTNAME1" instead of "surname1, firstname1")
of the names change highlighted below? For example:

Surname1, Firstname1 [06:22]: Hi
Surname2, Firstname2 [06:22]: Hello
What is the relation between the time of the last chat message shared with the time mentioned in the 'Sent' section of the saved message log? Can these two times differ based on the time zones, i.e. if saved message log is of different time zone and time
of last message sent/received is the local time zone?

Hi,
Which version did you OCS 2007 R2 install?
Which language the Hotfix KB did you want to update? Did it the same with the language before? If the language different from before, please download the correct language Hotfix KB and then test again.
Please also update Windows Installer to the latest version.

Office Communicator Mobile on E72 not connecting

On my E72, Office Communicator does not work - it hasn't worked yet.
On our machines we use Office Communicator 2005 to connect to an LCS server, over http (not https). Generally, all we need to set it up is the domain/username and password and the LCS server address.
On the E72 however, I can't get it to work. I suspect this may be due to a certificate issue: we use a Trusted Root Certificate to verify identity. I tried to import this to the phone, but it always gets imported to Authority Certificates - not to Trust Certificates. Could this be the issue? I must note that it doesn't connect on office WLAN either, though...
Could it be that we're using an old Office Communicator Server version - I read on allaboutsymbian that OCS 2007 is required?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Im having the same issue, did you get any resolution to this? Seems that doesnt works with trusted certificates.

What do I need to install Integration Kit for SharePoint Server 2007

What do I need to install the Integration Kit for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007? It gives me an SP3 needed error but does not tell me what SP3. Has any one sucessfully installed this kit? Please help.

Hi,
The sharepoint PIK is available for BO enterprise only. SP3 is refering to BO enterprise XIR2 SP3. This Service Pack is not available for CR 2008. In order to integrate CR 2008 in BO enterprise XIR3 you need to install SP0 on top of CR 2008. But as I said above without BO enterprise you won't be able to use the PIK.
I copied the following system requirements from our Install Guide for BOE XiR3 PIK:
System requirements
For a list of system requirements, consult the Platforms.txt file included
with your product distribution. For additional important information that may
pertain to your deployment, it is also strongly recommended that you consult
the Release Notes included with your product distribution.
In general, the following components must be installed and configured
correctly before you install the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Portal
Integration Kit:
u2022 Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services or Office SharePoint Portal
Server 2003.
u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise XI .NET SDK (on your SharePoint machine
or machines).
u2022 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (any edition).
u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise and Crystal Reports (on either the same
machine and/or on a different machine).
Kind regards,
Tim

Office Communicator 2007 "There was a problem verifying the certificate from the server" issue

Hello,
Last Friday is when this error first started. This is effecting all users. I am new to this position and am unfamiliar with how the Communicator server is setup. I am unsure as to where to look and where to start. We are using Office Communicator 2007 R2
running on a VM with Server 2003 R2. This is the only application being used on this host. Any ideas on where to start looking?
Thanks for the help

Hi Jenebo,
Looks like you did not install the CA install your client PC.
Access you enterprise CA server, like
http://dc.server.com/certsrv, download the certificate chain and intall it.
If it still can not work, please check you use automatic configuration to login your ocs client and you can resolve the SRV record to correct srv hostname using Nslookup.
If you use manual configuration, please do not use IP address of of FE.
Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
I issued a certificate off of the server running OC 2007; I do not have a dedicated CA server. How would I pull the crtificate off of that server and install it on my clients (server name is SFBlackberry)?
By the way, half of the clients worked after I renewed the CA on the server and the other half are the ones I am having problems with.
Thanks for your help...as you can tell I am new to OC and really appreciate your help.
