We are using OCS 2007 R2 and Outlook 2007. I had some users complain that when they do a search for a person in OCS, the person they are searching for will show up twice if they have them entered as a personal contact in Outlook. <br />
<br />
We don't use federation so the only users we need to be displayed in OCS are OCS enabled AD users. <br />
<br />
I am looking for a way to globally disable OCS from pulling personal contacts from Outlook, however, I still want OCS to display Outlook presence information.

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).
