Group Policy Settings for Clients

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.

Certain features and behaviors that are available to Office Communications Server 2007 R2 clients are determined by registry settings on the client computers. Administrators can configure registry settings on the client through the use of Group Policy settings, which add, delete, or change the values of entries in the client registry. Group Policy settings are applied to clients within selected Active Directory containers, such as sites, domains, or organizational units.

Administrators can define Group Policy settings by using an administrative template (.adm) file, which contains specific information about which Group Policy Objects the application should implement, where policies are stored, and how to configure the policies. Group Policy takes precedence over in-band provisioning and client-side options.

For details about Office Communications Server 2007 R2 client Group Policy and to download the Communicator.adm file, see the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Group Policy Settings documentation at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=140494.
