Global Meeting Policy Flags

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.

The global meeting policy contains three policy flags that administrators must enable for conferencing to be available to users. By default, these flags are turned off. These flags are EnableDataCollaboration, AllowIPAudio, and AllowIPVideo.

  • EnableDataCollaboration. Controls the ability to perform the following activities:

    • Start a Meet Now meeting in the Office Communications Server meeting client.

    Note

    If the Enable Data Collaboration flag disabled, the Meet Now option defaults to Office Live Meeting service. If the user is not configured for the Office Live Meeting service, the Meet Now option is hidden.

    • Schedule a meeting using Office Live Meeting from within the Conferencing Add-in for Outlook.

    • Start a meeting using Office Live Meeting from within Office Communicator.

  • AllowIPAudio. Controls the availability of audio conferencing.

  • AllowIPVideo. Controls the availability of video conferencing.

To enable these Web conferencing features, turn on all these policy flags by editing the appropriate meeting policy.
