When you attempt to start the service and it starts correctly, then the 404 error will go away :).

Were do I assign a web conferencing certificate at?

It was gone out of the rack when the new blade with the current build was installed.
The old pool shows in Office Communicator Server on the new build and Best Practices scanner sees it.
I tried to remove the pool but that option is greyed out. That is when I ran Lcscmd to try to remove it and it error-ed out. It has to be picking it from Active Directory since everything else is new.
No, I didn't name the server the same thing.
The other name has to be back in use for the special app and the new name I choose makes more sense to us for the communication server.
I don't see any problems just want my pool list correct and clean :(

Is the web conferncing server service started and does it have a certificate assigned to it? The web conferencing server gives you the ability to host live meetings internally.

Glad to see you got rid of the address book error.

Eah ne standard edition server creates a pool and uninstalling should remove that pool. Did you name the server with the same name as the old one?

Also quite honestly with the pool server gone you should not have any issues, its just a cosmetic thing.

Starting the process now. Will let you know when I get it all back up and running. Thanks for all your help!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19473916 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 16:44:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19473497 vic102482 : Yes,

I would absolutly destroy and rebuild that server. At a minimum uninstall IIS and reinstall, but even then at that point, there is stuff left behind on it from prior installs.

A. Uninstall OCS (do not roll back schema)
B. Disjoin machine from domain (or wipe machie and rejoin with same name)
C. Reinstall OCS and make sure that you join with the same name and all that good stuff

YOu will have to request certificates all over again, and your RTC service accounts will not be recreated automatically because they exist already. Create new accounts or use the existing passwords from the already created accounts.

Hey Wildwest, sorry about the delay I was on travel . The AB Service is installed automatically when the server is installed and configured as a front end server.

Answer:
That's fine this is a side project now

Quote:
Do you have any other services running on the machine? I saw Sharepoint listed in one of your servers? You can uninstall and reinstall Office Communication Server wihtout an issue, the biggest thing is the schema extension and that is not rolled back on uninstall.

Answer:
This server was initially set-up as a application web server for a specialized app via the web. Will attach services list. That was why I was thinking a clean install and try again?

Quote:
YOu should check if your clients actually have it, it takes a while for them to download the file. YOu will know its working if you do a search for a user and they show up (so look for administrator or wildwest in AD and see if that is working).

Answer:
No, search is returning any results and it is has populated all weekend...

Other than address book, is everything else working correctly???

Answer:
Yes, as far as I can tell everything seems fine so far other than the address book. Haven't dug too since I have been concentrating on this error.

Quote:
P.S. Leave the client online overnight.

Answer:
I have left the client on for over two days.

Also can you post your IIS virtual directory configuration?

There. Check your IIS Virtual Directory on the standard edition server and look at the ABS folder, make sure it is getting populated with bunches of files, then check the permissions of the IIS virtual directory (in the link I posted earlier).

Other than address book download is everything else working as expected in your client (IM and Presence)???

This is a new AD set-up and hate to start with a mess or screw it up. (I know should have tested in a close environment instead of on my live AD network)

Also if I were to re-install Windows Server 03 and re-load this from scratch since I know a few more things will that effect the AD?

Note

In Office Communications Server 2007, the Address Book Server is configured automatically. For information about changing Address Book Server settings, see the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 Public Beta Administration Guide.

Been a long week sorry!

Still need to discover why the service doesn't show.

Running one OCS server currently for testing.

Standard Edition

Address book service is not running nor present in the services list.
Went to the following for install..
Run AbsSetup.exe from the Setup\i386\ folder
No, file exists in the se_eval folder under i386.

Did go to the OCS server and found abserver.exe
(Location C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007\Server\Core. )Did not run however since I don't have the Address book service running.

Any ideas on install of this service?

Speaking of which, how did you configure the users, did you create the DNS SRV record? Are you using TLS to connect to the OCS server?

There is another common error called the Outlook Integration Error, and your Free/Busy (Calendar) data cannot be collected. If you arent using Exchange (or Popping) that happens quite frequently. For the address book, you should be able to download the address book even without Outlook. My bad on that I didnt understand......

How many OCS servers do you have? Are you using the standard or enterprise edition?

Take a look at the services and make sure the address book service is started.

Go to the OCS servers and look for the abserver.exe command (it should be under the Programfiles/OCS/support or something like that, just do a search for abserver.exe. When you find it, open a command line and do:

abserver.exe -syncnow it should show a "command complete" then leave communicator open for an hour or so, it needs to copy down the file from OCS and that can take a while depending on how big your AD is.

Thanks.

Got Microsoft Office Communication Server 2007 running along with Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 as trial versions.

Everything with the IM and Video Conferencing is working with the exception of the following error.

Cannot synchronize with the corporate address book. This may be because the proxy server setting in your web browser does not allow access to the address book. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.

Note: We aren't running exchange server so I know that is the cause of the error above after vic102482 confirmed that fact.
We are currently running a SSL Secure Web App for e-mail due to State Regulations for HealthCare.
Here is the link of the service that our custom app is built around. »www.atpmail.com/
Exchange is out of the picture for now till I can persuade them that I can make it as secure if not more.

Basically I am after a solution to clear the error message and share an address book through communicator if possible.
So I am open to any suggestions you may have.

Thanks!
