Configuring Office Communications Server User Accounts By Using the Wizard
Topic Last Modified: 2009-03-06
You can use the Configure Office Communications Server Users Wizard in either Active Directory Users and Computers or the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in to configure one or more user accounts. The procedure in this section describes the use of the Configure Office Communications Server Users Wizard in the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in to configure multiple settings for users.
In Office Communications Server 2007 R2, only users that have been initially enabled in the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in for Office Communications Server are available for configuration in the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in. Additionally, some user settings require that global settings be configured before individual user settings can be configured. If you enable federation for the forest, you can then specify that an individual user is either enabled or disabled for federation. If you configure archiving, meetings, or Enterprise Voice in global properties to use user settings, you can then configure archiving, meeting policy, and Voice policy settings on a per-user basis. Other settings, such as remote access and enhanced presence, do not exist at the forest level and can only be configured on a per-pool or per-user basis.
To configure settings for one or more users by using the Configure Office Communications Server Users Wizard
Open the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in.
In the console tree, expand the forest node, and then navigate to the Standard Edition server or Enterprise pool that contains the user account that you want to configure.
Expand the appropriate server node or pool node.
In the console tree, click Users, and then do one of the following:
- To configure all users in this node, right-click Users, and then click Configure users to start the Configure Office Communications Server Users Wizard.
- To configure only specific users, in the details pane, select the users that you want to configure, right-click the selection, and then click Configure users to start the Configure Office Communications Server Users Wizard.
On the Welcome to the Configure Users Wizard page, click Next.
On the Configure User Settings page, select the check box next to the features that you want to configure for the selected user or users, and then, for each feature, click Enable or Disable. The available user settings are listed here:

Click Next.
On the Configure Meeting Settings page, select the Organize meetings with anonymous participants check box, and then click Allow or Disallow.

On the Configure User Settings page, do one of the following:
To view the policy, click View. You can only view the settings of the selected policy.

To change the meeting policy for these users, select the Change meeting policy check box, and then click the policy in the Select a meeting policy for the users drop-down list box. The Change meeting policy option cannot be changed for users if the global policy is not configured to enforce meeting policy on a per-user basis.
