I have run the step as instruction above and also in the OCS 2007 Deploying and configuration from Microsoft.

But, i stucked in the "Choose a Certification Authority Page". I can't choose the first selection, only "Specify the certificate authority that will be used to request this certificate" are available. I am not sure what to write in the text box below the 2nd selection.

So, how can i find the root and solve this problem. I am using Win Server 2008 Std Edition and OCS 2007 R2. This is Front End Server.

Thanks!

hi,

if you face an error on last step like followings.

Not activated or disabled services (cannot be started): Office Communications Server Front-End Office Communications Server Telephony Conferencing Office Communications Server IM Conferencing

Services that will be started: Office Communications Server Web Conferencing Office Communications Server Audio/Video Conferencing

you should see this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974571

scroll to Resolution for these known issues and download ocsasnfix.exe using http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=168248

use command prompt to run this exe. it will fix the registry. once registry is fixed. you need to re run the “Deploy Server” or “Add Server to Pool”(in case of enterprise pool deployment which was my case)

after finishing the deployment start the services again. it will work.

Thanks Ali

Crazy how many people still use and others profit with web proxies.

Edgar, you can definitely support multiple SIP domains through a single Edge server. You'lll need a SAN certificate and if you want to support automatic client configuration, an SRV record for each SIP domain.

I'd definitely recommend using a vendor such as Digicert for your SAN cert though. They are significantly cheaper than Verisign and have the same degree of compatibility.

I will redeploy the access edge server and I have a doubt about the kind of certificate that I need. We are going to have several sip domains but we will have only one access edge server so this is the point where I got confuse: Do I need one DNS srv record for each domain that externally wants to access the access edge server? Does Verisign have this kind of certificate with SAN?

Hello Elliot Nehme,

in your case the OCS server system must be a member of the AD, and must be logged on that system in with administrative rights rights of AD, in LAN Configuration give the DNS IP, and start installation, OCS will automatically pick the AD of you network, so as the DNS of you network. I think this will help you.

Hello there,

I followed step by step the above procedure but my front end server service won’t start. I deployed a standard edition of OCS 2007 (trial version) downloaded from microsoft website. I have my AD and DNS servers on another pc (both pcs have windows server 2003 SP2).

Please any help will be hugely appreciated :D:D

Thanks a lot

ISA will read all the SANs in a cert on a listener. The limitation comes in if you use a SAN on the internal web site that you are reverse proxy-ing.

How many SAN on ISA 2006 with OCS 2007 and Exchange 2007 OWA anywhere. Is this right ?

When ISA 2006 has a listener for https and it is used for Exchange 2007 OWA, the SSL listener certificate will have Subject Alternative Names (SAN) of mail.myorg.local, mail.myorg.com, autodiscover.myorg.com and thirdly SAN names of sip.myorg.com, im.myorg.com. when you have OCS 2007.

Does ISA 2006 only read 2 SAN names anyway?
