OCS 2007 R2 Live meeting install

You need to open the LM console, then upper left, use the dropdown menu and select User Accounts.  In there, do not put ANYTHING in the Live Meeting portion.  At the top it will ask you for the user SIP URI.  Enter it there and press test connection.

If it connects, then you are all set, use the Outlook addin to schedule it, or click Meet Now in the console (Also from the calendar addin).

If internal conferencing, then no need for any additional server roles.  If you ever decide to do external conferences, then you will need the edge server and should run the edge planning tool before deployng it.

(If you just want Live Meeting to work on the internal network, don't bother putting in any URL.  Just click on "Test Connection", it will check with your Front End server- if all is well, it will come back and say something like "Connection tested successfully", then you can go ahead and send invites to Live Meetings.  The invites will contain the URL)

Jayca/Kaffiend,

for now internal use only...

Not to sound Stupid, but where is the LM console -- this did not install as a seperate app -- all that is installed on my client (in respect to this) is Office 2007 and the Communicator 2007 R2 (14+MB Install)

This has given me the communicator IM agent (which does seem to have access to Live Meeting) and the Outlook plug in.  In Outlook I have tried every possible combinations of server names/ports etc.  to no avail.

I have attached a sceenshot below of the account config screen in outlook (leaving the server name blank fails)

Putting in either an IP address, or name of my server, for example https://JLCOCS01.lecraw.com/  passes for the first part when you press test, but fails when you press OK

If you are using automatic configuration (have the correct SRV record).  Then install the LM client.  Configure it just as you have in the pic.. and test it and get a success.  (You might get a fail with the LM Service portion, don't worry about it)

Once that is done and you click okay.. you should see a MEET NOW button.  You can then click it and be joined to the meeting.

Your issue is you are trying to configure the settings for the LM client without having it installed... don't sweat it :)

In a nutshell.. all you need to do is install the Live Meeting client... the current client you can get from http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA101733831033.aspx

If the link does not work, goto livemeeting.com, then click on download resources and it is listed.

GL!!

Just to be clear, you don't have to put anything in the URL text box.  Leave it exactly the way it is in the attached jpg file and just click on "Test Connection".
