Managed Office Communications Server Namespace API
This document provides the details of the application programming interface (API) for the Managed Office Communications Server namespace included with the Microsoft Provisioning System (MPS) in Hosted Messaging and Collaboration version 4.5.
Contained herein are descriptions of the procedures of this namespace along with input parameters and return values. In addition, example XML requests are provided along with a typical Extensible Markup Language (XML) response that the provisioning system returns after a request is submitted to MPS and tasks are completed.
Developers should use this API document as a reference when creating XML requests that initiate the provisioning of Microsoft Office Office Communications Server 2007 services or as a basis for review of the Office Communications Server 2007 named procedures that are implemented in the Web Service.
Overview
The Managed Office Communications Server namespace is a new namespace for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 Hosting that exposes a set of Microsoft Provisioning Framework (MPF) public named procedures for the provisioning of Office Communications Server 2007 services. The namespace enables service providers to provision Office Communications Server 2007-enabled users in the managed provisioning environment of MPS.
The Managed Office Communications Server namespace provides public access to the Office Communications Server Provider procedures and implements role-based security for these calls. Additionally it implements association between Office Communications Server SIP Domains and organizational units.

Privileged Account Considerations
In order to perform certain actions within the Office Communications Server namespaces, additional privileges are required. These operations occur at the managed layer to allow users to perform actions that they would not normally be able to perform. These actions are performed under the context of the MPFServiceAcct. You need to understand the risk and the means that MPS uses to mitigate it within the Office Communications Server Managed Namespace.
