We’re having our next free Cape Town based event. This time round we’ll have a particular focus on OCS integration and Windows 7. What can OCS integrate with, well darn near anything. To prove the point Uwin’s going to demonstrate integration from two extreme’s – Asterisk and Exchange 2010. One you would to be totally […]
Wildcard certificates used to have a stigma attached to them; however I didn’t really know where that stigma came from, except that it was considered “best practice” not to use them under certain circumstances. So I did a bit of digging – let’s start with the gold standard for Certificate Authorities (CA) – VeriSign, gold […]
I don’t know about you, but I find updating OCS and keeping it updated a pain. Tons of patches for lots of components and it seems to be rather never ending once you start, often without really knowing what you need which patch for… or so it seems 😉 The sustained engineering team have now […]
I’m super excited about this years Tech-ed. I have 4 sessions in different areas and will be covering quite a few topics, including Exchange UM, Exchange Migrations and two sessions on PowerShell – One on PowerShell for Developers, and the other PowerShell for Unified Communications. Besides the sessions you can also find me […]
Tried installing OCS Standard, but failing spectacularly every time. This didn’t make any sense to me for a while, since the components were installed, but the installer refused to activate the product. The MMC didn’t show that services were installed either.

Videos represent a huge amount of work on various topics, covering everything from Exchange, to Fore Front, OCS, PowerShell, Active Directory, Windows Server, Hyper-V and more. They certainly are worth a browse and you may even find me on one or two of them ;). Have a look at them […]

Why am I excited about the next version of OCS? Ok, a bunch of reasons, but one of them being Session Initiation Protocol trunking. According to the definition on voip-news.com it means less moneys for Telco’s and more features, connectivity and lower costs for the rest of us. There’s a bunch of other features […]
It’s great to see more and more planning tools coming out of the OCS team. Well done folks! The original post can be seen here: http://communicationsserverteam.com/archive/2008/08/29/248.aspx Currently I see the largest issue being the lack of support for all supported topologies. Checkout the statement from the blog entry: Topologies Currently the tool only supports the […]
