• Federation OCS/Sametime

    Posted over 5 years ago

    Hello, 

    Federation between MOCS 2007 R1/R2 and IBM Sametime 8.0.2 is now available!

    What for?
    Federation allow two companies to share users's Presence and to communicate with Instant Messaging. Each company must use a dedicated SIP domain name.

    How does it works?

    • On the OCS side, you will need to deploy a MOCS 2007 Edge server (R1 or R2 version) enabled for the federation:
    • Configure your environment for the federation:
    • Configure firewall rules for the network protocol SIP/MTLS (TCP5061), in bidirectionnal;
    • Create a public DNS A record (ex: sip.contoso.com). Create also a public DNS SRV record (ex: _sipfederationtls._tcp.contoso.com) pointing on to sip.contoso.com on port 5061 if you want automatic discovery;
    • Request a commercial certificate (ex: subject name: sip.contoso.com);
    • Deploy your edge server, and especially the Access Edge server role;
    • Note: You do not need a reverse proxy server for the federation;

    In case of issues, you will need to open a case on both Microsoft and IBM supports.
    A list of known limitations is published on the IBM website: the main one concerns the Instant Messaging which works only with 2 participants, not more.

  • Mise à jour de la version d'évaluation de MOCS 2007 R2

    Posted over 5 years ago
    by frmcsuc}

    Hello,

    Pour ceux qui auraient déployé la version d'évaluation 180 jours de MOCS 2007 R2, Microsoft signale que la version d'évaluation expire prématurément le 13 juin 2009, quelque soit la date d'installation.

    Deux solutions:

    • Déployer les deux hotfixes: KB972041 pour les serveurs Office Communications Server R2, KB972042 pour les clients Ofice Communicator 2007 R2, ou
    • Mettre à niveau vers la version définitive si vous l'avez acquise entre temps, en suivant la doc OCS 2007 R2 Upgrading the Evaluation to Full Released Version en téléchargement sur ce site: Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Documentation

    Note: Pour ceux qui cherchent cette même doc en version R1, la voici: Upgrading Office Communications Server 2007 Evaluation to the Full Released Version
