Outlook Conferencing Add-in invitation contains poorly formatted hyperlinks
Question
-
We have deployed OCS 2007 in our environment and every now and then, we see the issue where the body of the invitation created by the Conferencing Add-in does not contain links that can be clicked for joining the meeting. As an example, I get the following invitation:
-+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-
John Doe has invited you to attend an online meeting using Microsoft® Office Communications Server.
Join the meeting. <meet
ip:john.doe@company.com;gruu;opaque=app:conf:focus:id:b7a6e6ff232a4f9e9948a37030b27d82%3Fconf-key=dB3PHU8Ae67>Audio Information
Computer Audio
To use computer audio, you need speakers and a microphone, or a headset.
First-Time Users
Make sure the Office Live Meeting client is installed before the meeting:
· I am connecting from inside the Corporation network http://r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlidOCS?clid=1033&p1=livemeeting
· I am connecting from outside the Corporation network http://r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlidOCS?clid=1033&p1=livemeeting
Troubleshooting
Unable to join the meeting? Launch the Office Live Meeting client and join the meeting with the following information:
…
The meeting invitation itself is not a link and cannot be clicked to join the conference. The installation links fir first-time users have been separated between text to display and the actual links but because these links begin with "http://", they show up as clickble links.
I have tried to play with Outlook e-mail formatting but cannot reproduce the issue but some users complain about this frequently.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
