newkey.SetValue("EnableSIPHighSecurityMode", 0, RegistryValueKind.DWord)

Add this key to registry to get this to work with 2007 R2

I created a new version that works.

Is there a way to change the “Show me as inactive or away” period longer than 60 mins?

I found the tool to work flawlessly. I was looking for emoticon’s and found this; much better. Now I can SAY exactly what I’m thinking. lol

Hey i'm kind of noob at these things so where would i put that EnableSIP... reg key. I put it in both the HKEYCURRENTUSER/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/COMMUNICATOR and the HKEYLOCALMACHINE/same path but i still can't get my comunicator to show my custom status. What am i doing wrong or not doing?

Hey I tried this tool, it seems this application works with everybody, except me. All steps are made, but I can’t see the customs states on my IM. I check the registry and it was generated as mentionated. I have the 2007 version. Even I tried in manually way but still without working.

Hi All – also ran into the tool not working with OC 2007 R2 – I went to RUN – Regedit, HKEYCurrentUser – Software – Communicator – but could not find EnableSIPHighSecurityMode – am I in the right place?

For those of you banging your heads to workaround the R2 issue, just follow Alan’s tip on adding the “EnableSIPHighSecurityMode” registry key (REG_DWORD) and setting it to ‘0′ (http://www.confusedamused.com/notebook/communicator-2007-custom-presence-tool/#comment-712). This eliminates the need to feed the XML off of SkyDrive (or some other malarkey site). Besides, SkyDrive no longer allows for direct download links (i.e. no permalinks) so that method won’t work.
