Often during OCS deployments, there are failed installations or servers get removed without proper deactivation. This results in objects being left in Active Directory (AD) that reference the old server name. This can sometimes lead to problems when customers try and reintroduce the same server / pool names back into the environment. If this is a new OCS deployment, then it’s not much of a problem as you can simply remove the entire RTC Service object and viola! AD thinks OCS has never been installed.

I'd like to congratulate six new OCS MCMs as graduates of rotation 4.

Yes, the OCS product team has just released this very page here .  There are October updates for your Tanjay phone, OCS R2 server, Live Meeting and Communicator client.  Please update if you haven’t already done so as there are some nice server and client fixes for voice, video, conferences, etc. There is also a updated cumulative installer you can run on the OCS R2 servers that will check and apply the latest updates based on role, etc. Grab it here .

OCS MCM rotation 4 is almost out the door. Almost - just the final qual lab to finish now. As I write the candidates are all laser focused on their laptops, oblivious to the world around them as they work through the final gruelling 6 hour lab. All this and they've already sat their last written exam this morning. Tough day. They have all worked incredibly hard over the past three weeks - I never ceased to be amazed by the effort and energy that they put in and how well they pull together as a team.

Auf der TechEd in Berlin hat Tandberg sein neues Unified Communications Gateway vorgestellt. Das Gateway (RTV Gateway) verbindet die Office Communications Server Plattform mit der Tandberg Videokonferenz-Plattform in Bezug auf HD-Auflösungen: Seit Office Communications Server 2007 R2 ist der OCS in der Lage, auch höhere Auflösungen als bisher in der Bildübertragung bereitzustellen. Der dazu verwendete Codec ist Real Time Video (RTV). Das Gateway von Tandberg übersetzt diese Daten in den Codec H.264,

There has never been a better time for hosted business software!  Software available today isn’t the same stuff that was offered by vendors ten years ago.  In fact, the notion that hosted software lacks in customization and integration are things of the past.  Microsoft’s latest foray in hosted services is a product called Business Productivity Online Services (BPOS) .  Imagine getting Exchange, SharePoint, and instant messaging all at a cost point lower than Google’s.   

There are a lot of question going around when it comes to OCS 2007 R2 and licensing. In this post I'll try to give an overview of which licenses are required :-) In the end, it all boils down to three things, meaning, you may need a license for: 1. Using a client software to gain access to a service provided by the Office Communications Server (= clientsoftware license) 2. Gaining access to the service provided by the Office Communications Server (= client access license) 3. The sever offering the

I think we've all heard the pitch before in just about all aspects of our lives - buy product XYZ and it'll do everything you'll ever want, it'll save you money, and it'll get your whites whiter and your brights brighter (to use a Tide laundry detergent analogy). Well in the case of OCS, this sales pitch is actually true (except the part about getting your whites whiter and your brights brighter). :-) It's probably no surprise to anyone that most companies have a mix of communication and collaboration

Durante a validação do Front End no OCS R2 aparece a seguinte a mensagem: Warning: [0x43FC200C] Not all checks were successful "Warning: One or more pool hosted users are enabled for telephony, federation or remote access, but no audio-video edge server is specified for the pool." Você pode ,com segurança, ignorar essa mensagem, pois por padrão em uma instalação completa do OCS R2 existem 4 contatos criados automaticamente com Enterprice Voice habilitado, são eles:     

Microsofti 13. oktoobri paranduste paketis olnud KB974571, mis põhjustas OCS-i ja OC probleeme (vt. ka minu eelmist artiklit OCS ja hotfix KB974571 ), on välja antud parandus (hästi kõlab – paranduse parandus :-)). Selleks tuleks OCS ja OC-ga masinates käima lasta OCSASNFix.exe nimeline parandusfail, mida on võimalik saada http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=168248 aadressilt. Töötab see nii serveri kui kliendi peal, ning käima võib lasta nii enne kui pärast KB974571 installeerimist. Kui serveril

Eelmise nädala teisipäeval (13. oktoober :-) väljatulnud Microsofti parandustega on tekkinud probleemid KB974571 ja OCS vahel. Nimelt põhjustab selle hotfix install OCS masinal (ja LCS samuti) nende teenuste mittekäivitumist. Veateade, mida võib Event Viewer-st näha, on segadust tekitav Event ID 12290: “The evaluation period for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 has expired” (vastavalt mis versioon kasutusel). Ja seda ka masinas, kus on täiesti ametlik, mitte trial versioon. Ka Office
