Re: Office Communicator 2007 Woes
Quote:
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...
Quote:
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?

| 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.

2 edits | Okay all set-up.
Installed everything on a different blade from scratch.
All the scans are a success with the exception of:
Check Web Conferencing Server Virtual Directory Setting.
Get the following:
URL:»https://example-comm.example.local/etc/p···lank.png
ow Received a failure HTTP response.: HTTP Response: 404 Not Found
MicrosoftOfficeWebServer:5.0_Pub
Content-Length:1635
Content-Type:text/html
Date:Tue, 20 Nov 2007 21:04:09 GMT
Server:Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By:ASP.NET
Other wise I have no errors on the Address book sync.
Also I have the old pool name in the communications server list and it will not let me right click on it and remove pool. Any ideas how to remove it?
Any additional help would be appreciated.

2 edits | To try to remove the old pool I did the following:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007>lcscmd /forest /action:removepool /PoolName:example-web
Gets to the end then gives me Error : Invalid action for Standard Edition Server.

| Did you uninstall the server or just blow away the box? 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.

| I totally removed the other blade that was first installed and it has been totally reformatted. 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
