Installing and Uninstalling Communicator Web Access Snap-in
Topic Last Modified: 2009-02-27
The Communicator Web Access snap-in is not automatically installed when you install Communicator Web Access. You must install the snap-in separately. You do not need to install Communicator Web Access on the same computer where you install the Communicator Web Access snap-in. You can install the snap-in on any computer that meets the following criteria:
- Is a member of an Active Directory forest where Office Communications Server 2007 R2 has already been installed.
- Is running a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system (including Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008).
- Has the following software installed:
- SQL Server Native Client
- Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable
- Microsoft .NET Framework
- Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Core Components
If you install Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Communicator Web Access (2007 R2 release) using the Setup wizard, the prerequisite software is installed on your computer for you. Otherwise you must install each of these components manually.
When you install the Communicator Web Access snap-in, you also install the Office Communications Server 2007 Administrative Tools. You cannot install the snap-in by itself.
You can also easily uninstall the Communicator Web Access snap-in from a computer.
