The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

We are a large enterprise and installing OCS 2007 in our lab environment.  installing a Standard Edition Server, Communicator Web Access Server and Archiving server.  Strictly for internal use only, will not be doing any external federation or Public IM with this test platform.   I have already successfully installed the Standard Edition server and ready to get into the next steps of configuration and certificate installation.  Question has to do with setup of SRV records to allow automatic client authentication.  See the attached document which has an excerpt in it from the OCS Standard Edition Deployment guide.  Our test lab Forest has a root domain we will call for discussion  Labt and two child domains called Wizt and SWizt.   These would be the actual domain names.   DNS A record pointing to the FQDN of the Standard edition server has already been created.  In DNS on one of our DC's I went to the Forwarding Zones and under the zone for Labt, Wizt and Swizt I created an SRV record associated with those domain names for sipinternatls which points to the name FQDN of the Standard Edition server.  We also have mulitple email domain names for our users.  So various users could have different SIP addresses associated with their the primary SMTP address of their mailbox.   It states in the documentation that also for Automatic Client sign-in you will need to create an SRV record for each SIP domain.   So I am wondering now if I need to do this and if so where will these SRV records be created ?    I need someone to shed more light on this area for the Standard Edition Server.
