How to specify internal and external servers for Live Meeting with OCS 2007?

  • Artikel

OCS 2007 (Office Communications Server 2007), which was just released to RTM, finally has Live Meeting Conferencing built-in. You can use the Live Meeting client or the web frontend to attend your meetings. Because of the nature of OCS, you can deploy all services internally and expose selected services to external users (even for federated users) through your DMZ.

The challenge here is that when you deploy Live Meeting client centrally through SMS or Active Directory, you would need to specify what is the internal server for LAN users, and what is the external server for roaming users. Actually there's a switch for that in the GPO template but it only affects Office Communicator 2007 client, not Live Meeting.

So here's the fix:

Specify the values in registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared\UcClient\ServerAddressExternal
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared\UcClient\ServerAddressInternal

Leech these to your GPO, and roll it out to your client workstations - works like a toilet in the train (bad Finnish humor, I know)!
