Many times I have had issues with starting the OCS services on a consolidated front-end starting (fortunately, this has been mostly confined to lab environments). For the benefit of others, here are the 4 most common reasons for OCS service logon failures that I have experienced: The OCS Service Logon Accounts Have Expired. Event log errors 7000 [...] January 18, 2010 Update: the January 2010 updates for the Live Meeting Console and the Live Meeting Conferencing Add-In are available. The Conferencing Add-In update contains a 64-bit version which integrates with the Office 2010 Beta. There have recently been several noteworthy changes to the Microsoft TechNet OCS and UC resources available on TechNet. Here is a summary of the changes: 1) The OCS TechNet Forums have Moved If you have never used them before, the Microsoft OCS TechNet Forums are a great resource for asking questions and resolving problems. As of last [...] On a desktop I use regularly, I had a nagging Live Meeting issue when trying to attend a hosted Live Meeting. After clicking the “Join Meeting” link I received the following error: I had always assumed the root cause was that the Live Meeting client was getting confused (configuration) between on-premise and hosted live meetings because [...] The ability to transfer files in Office Communicator is an effective collaboration feature (and is often underused).

Rather than have the user open each application and do a “Help | About” and tediously [...] Here is a recent Live Meeting issue that I wanted to make people aware of. While looking at reports of Live Meeting usage (using the MessageStats Report Pack for OCS from Quest Software), it showed some Live Meetings were taking upwards of 3+ hours, when we had first-hand knowledge that the meeting ‘ended’ after 30 [...] Earlier this year, while trying to solve some Live Meeting audio and video issues, I came across an OCS resource kit tool called the “PreCallDiagnosticTool”. It is a Windows application that installs on the end user PC and will help assess the impact network conditions will have on audio quality. The only downside? It was only [...] 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 [...] |
