6.4 Set Up a Test Web Conference
Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 will reach end of support on January 9, 2018. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.
After you install the Live Meeting client and the add-in, you can test the Office Communications Server configuration for Web conferencing by setting up a test conference. To perform this test, use two client computers that have both the Live Meeting client and the Outlook add-in installed and two user accounts that are enabled for Office Communications Server and that have a meeting policy that allows Web conferencing. See 3.6 Enable Audio/Video Conferencing and Web Conferencing and 4.3 Configure Users in this document for details.
To set up a test conference
Open Microsoft Office Outlook.
In the Microsoft Office Live Meeting dialog box that indicates the add-in was successfully installed, click OK.
Close Outlook, and then restart it to initialize the add-in.
On the Conferencing menu, click User Account.
In the User Accounts dialog box, click Sign-in name, and then type the name of your SIP account.
Click Test Connection.
Do one of the following:
If the Microsoft Office Live Meeting dialog box appears because the client is able to successfully establish a connection to the server, click OK, and then skip to step 12 to continue.
If the Error - Microsoft Office Live Meeting dialog box appears because the client is unable to establish a connection to the server, click OK, and then click Advanced.
Select the Use these servers check box, and then do one of the following:
To test access to the server from inside your organization, click Internal Server name or IP address, and then type either the FQDN or the IP address of the internal Standard Edition server. If you configured the server so that clients can connect by using TCP, click TCP. If you configured the server so that clients can connect only by using TLS, click TLS.
To test access to the server from outside your organization, click External Server name or IP address, and then type either the FQDN or the IP address of the external Standard Edition server. If you configured the server so that clients can connect by using TCP, click TCP. If you configured the server so that clients can connect only by using TLS, click TLS.
Select the Use the following user name and password check box. Click User name and type your domain and user name in the following format: domain\username. Click Password, and then type your domain password. When you are finished, click OK.
Click Test Connection and ensure that the Microsoft Office Live Meeting dialog box appears, which indicates that the client can establish a connection to the server.
Click OK to close the User Accounts dialog box.
In Outlook, in the toolbar, click Schedule a Live Meeting.
In the e-mail template, click To, and then type the e-mail address of another user that is enabled for Office Communications Server and has a meeting policy that allows Web conferencing. Click Subject, type a name for the conference, and then click Send.
When the second client receives the e-mail invitation for the scheduled Web conference, open the invitation on both clients, and then click the Join the meeting link in each invitation. The Live Meeting client appears.
If the meeting link does not work, follow the instructions in the Troubleshooting section of the meeting invitation e-mail.
After you have joined the Web conference from both computers, click the Attendees list and verify that both users are listed.
