Enabling User Accounts for Communicator Web Access
Topic Last Modified: 2009-01-25
When you enable a user account you must specify a sign-in name for the user; this is the name that the user employs when logging on to Communicator Web Access (2007 R2 release) or other Office Communications Server 2007 R2 components, such as Office Communicator. The user’s e-mail name (for example, kenmyer@contoso.com) is typically used as the sign-in name. However, instead of using the e-mail name you can use one of the following name formats:
- The user's Universal Principal Name (UPN)
- The format first_name.last_name@domain_name format (for example, Ken.Myer@contoso.com)
- The format SAM_account_Name@domain_name (for example, kenmyer@contoso.com)
To enable a user for Communications Server
Log on to a computer where both Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in has been installed. You must log on as a member of the local Administrators group and a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group.
In Active Directory Users and Computers, locate the user account to be enabled. Right-click the account name and then click Enable Users for Communications Server.
