Hello all,
Is there something that i have to install or configure on the server to allow OC to connect to public IM users. I have enabled Public IM connectivity on the user account but I am not sure if there is something else I have to do. If that is all that needs to be done how do I add and communicate with public IM accounts in OC. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
John

Yes - you need to enable Public IM on your Access Edge server. Open up the OCS Management Console and select the "IM Provider" tab. Just enable what you want.

Additionally, you'll need a license to use the Public IM capability. Check out http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/communicationsserver/HA102030071033.aspx for the specifics.
