Office Communicator 2007 R2 The download and more details can be found here: Description of the Communicator 2007 R2 cumulative update: January 2010 (KB 976135). January 18, 2010 Update: the January 2010 updates for the Live Meeting Console and the Live Meeting Conferencing Add-In are available.

Rather than have the user open each application and do a “Help | About” and tediously [...] I was recently involved in a situation where the SIP domain was different from the internal AD domain. This could be the case if your organization supports multiple SIP domains, or you have a “split-brain” DNS configuration (i.e. there is one DNS zone for the outside world such as “example.com”, and another DNS zone used [...] Several updates where released last month (July 2009) to the server and client pieces of OCS.
