      Even a basic Office Communications Server 2007 deployment can be complex, as our testbed included six different Windows Server-based components.

      Missed calls appear automatically in our in-box, allowing the user to easily check voice mail or return the call directly from Outlook.

      3

      E-mails show live presence of the various parties, allowing us to easily place a call to respond to an awaiting e-mail.

      4Microsofts Office Communications Server 2007 – IM Presence

      4

      Office Communicator 2007 shows presence for our list of contacts, allowing us to quickly fire off an important instant message.

      5Microsofts Office Communications Server 2007 – From IM to Voice

      5

      Via Office Communicator 2007, we could escalate an ongoing IM thread to a voice call with a couple clicks.

      We could easily convert from a voice call to a video call.

      7Microsofts Office Communications Server 2007 – Video Call

      7

      We tested video using Microsofts LifeCam VX-3000 and VX-6000, although most Web cameras should work.

      8Microsofts Office Communications Server 2007 – Personal Video

      8

      The standard video pane shows both call participants by default. In conferences, Communicator will give on-screen priority to users actually talking.

      9Microsofts Office Communications Server 2007 – Polycom SoundPoint

      9

      Polycom makes a nice USB speakerphone for OCS.

      10Microsofts Office Communications Server 2007 – Catalina

      Microsoft also offers a USB handset for those who need a desktop component rather than a headset.

      11Microsofts Office Communications Server 2007 – Active Directory Users

      11

      A few user characteristics are managed via AD Users and Groups, including assigning public telephone numbers.

      12Microsofts Office Communications Server 2007 – Enable Users for OCS

      12

      Using the AD Users and Groups snap-in, we enabled users (or groups) to take advantage of OCS features.

      13Microsofts Office Communications Server 2007 – OCS Enable Wizard

      13

      Through the wizard, the administrator assigns users to an OCS server and specifies a unique SIP URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) for the user.

      14Microsofts Office Communications Server 2007 – Primary User Management

      14

      The OCS 2007 MMC snap-in, which lets administrators enable users and groups for communications, is where most user management occurs.

      15

      The OCS 2007 snap-in shows high-level availability of various services.
