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?

"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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Please, if posting Logs, do not post any Log info after the line "Binary Images for iChat"

  • CS4 issues with Microsoft Office Small Business 2007? Other apps?

    I recently purchased the CS4 upgrade and a new laptop. Last night after nearly 7 hours I finally got it all installed and working correctly. I had the versioncue.dll error which caused most of my pain. Anyway... I've been lurking on the forums since CS3 launched but passed on it due to all the issues I had read about it's installer, finally I felt I needed to take the plunge and upgraded my software (from MX2004 suite). My question is this.
    Currently I have a very clean laptop with only:
    Kaspersky 2009 and CS4 installed.
    I'm looking to install Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 but I have a concern with the Small Business Manager SQL Server. From other post I've seen that the sql servers have conflicted with adobe applications, has anyone had any issues with this or should I be able to install it now without issue. I'm trying to pre-emptivly make sure I don't screw something up and have to install everything again from scratch.
    My end goal would be to have: Kaspersky security suite 2009, CS4, MS office Small Business 2007, Paragon back up application. At that point I want to create a restore and if anything happened I'd have the bulk set up easily again.
    Does anyone have any other no no's about what does and does not play well with CS4?
    My Setup:
    Gateway FX 7805u laptop
    dual core centreno 2 2.26
    4 gigs DDR3
    Geforce 9800m gts 1 gb
    320 gb 7200 harddrive - not sure on make
    Vista 64
    All drivers up to date except the new Nvidia drivers as they are still beta
    Thank you in advance.

    I should also have mentioned (ask) about the fact that when I first installed I had gotten all the way past the initial installer and to the updates so the suite had already been activated/registered.
    After getting the versioncue.dll error it has you remove the suite and many folders pertaining to it. So after I did all that and reinstalled it automatically put my info back in for me (obviously one of the folders it doesn't have you move) and I don't recall it re-registering it again. I'm assuming I am fine with my activations and it only counted it once as it was the same machine with an uninstall/reinstall? Everything seems to be working ok, i'm just curious as to what it actually did? Did it take another activation or no? I'm planning on installing to my desktop as well as soon as I get the board/proc replaced, so i'm just looking down the road for potential issues.
    Thanks again.

  • Provision Microsoft Office Communicator via OIM

    Hi xperts,
    has anyone configured OIM to create accounts in Microsoft Office Communicator? If yes can some one please share the steps or high level idea of the same
    what I think of now is it may be some attributes in AD but which one I am not sure
    Thanks
    -Mukul

    Hi Kevin,
    Can you shed us some light on what needs to be done for Office Communicator provisioning (in case of Microsoft).
    a) Does AD Connector is sufficient to pass additional attributes for O.C
    b) In our rquirement , we are using a different communicator other than O.C where there is a need for provisioning.

  • Remove microsoft office compatibility pack 2007

    We have upgraded all clients to Office 2010 so there is not need for microsoft office compatibility pack 2007 so I want to remove it.  The compatibility pack was pushed via GPO.  I was removed from GPO but "let user continue to use" was selected. 
    Now when trying to remove it using msiexec /qn /x{90120000-0020-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE} on almost all pcs I am getting a failure and it is not uninstalling.  MSIEXEC error code it 1605.Jason

    I haven't any HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
    But I found the key
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\000021090200A0C00000000000F01FEC\InstallProperties
    with values
    DisplayName     = Paquete de compatibilidad para 2007 Office system  (same product in Spanish)
    UninstallString  = MsiExec.exe /X{90120000-0020-0C0A-0000-0000000FF1CE}
    There is a little change in the GUI, may be related to SP3 for Compatibility Pack, which is installed. That UnistallString worked for me.
    In a startup script it must include "/qn" as there is no user interaction. I.e.
    msiexec /qn /x {90120000-0020-0C0A-0000-0000000FF1CE}
    Yes, I do know: this thread is a year old. But may be this post help somebody :-)
