  • Cannot Connect to the Meeting: Live Meeting

    Today I experienced some issues with Office Communicator 2007 R2 and Live Meeting 2007. First, Communicator was complaining about not being able to update the address book. Then, when I tried to start a meeting using Live Meeting (via the Meet Now function), I received the following error: When I looked to find some hints to the “Live Meeting cannot connect to the meeting.” message online, all the posts were pointing to issues with trying to connect to an external meeting. I was trying to connect to my internal Office Communications Server. I next tried to do a nslookup on the FQDN for the server and I received a reply…

  • Office Communications Server 2007 Upgrade – Clients

    Before upgrading our Office Communications Server 2007 (OCS) install to OCS R2, we pushed out the Office Communicator 2007 R2 client to our desktops. As with most software pushes, not everyone received the client successfully. Currently, there are four versions of the Communicator client connected to our R2 server: UCCAPI/2.0.6362.15 UCCAPI/3.5.6907.0 OC/3.5.6907.0 (Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2) UCCAPI/3.5.6907.9 OC/3.5.6907.9 (Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2) UCCP/2.0.6362.0 OC/2.0.6362.0 (Microsoft Office Communicator) The only one I couldn’t really figure out was the first one (2.0.6362.15). That client version only has one connection to the server. After looking at the rtc (dbo.Resource table) and rtcdyn (dbo.Endpoint table) databases, I discovered that it is the…

  • Troubleshooting Microsoft Office Communicator 2007

    I have recently been having some Address Book sync problems with Office Communicator 2007 R2. A couple things I wanted to share with anyone who cares to listen: -When you turn on logging within Communicator, the logs are placed in your profile directory. So, at the root of your profile (i.e. for Windows XP, it would be: c:\documents and settings\%username%), open the Tracing folder. This is where the logs are created. -When you start Communicator, it tries to download and make a local copy of the Address Book. The location of the address book copy is again located in the profile directory. So, for Windows XP, it would be: c:\documents…

  • Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and NIC Teaming

    I have been trying to install Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2 Standard Edition for a few days now without success. During the server install process (after the schema has been extended), a warning shows up in the activation logs of every role (Standard Edition Server, Web Components Server, Web Conferencing Server, Audio/Video Conferencing Server, Application Sharing Server, and Application Host). The warning on the main Deployment Log states: Warning [0x03EC796D] Wizard was successful, but one or more warnings occurred during execution of the wizard. Please check the log file for more information. The warning within each activation log states: Warning [0x03EC78E4] More than one DNS records are found for…
