I forgot it was halloween when I wrote that and I had some plans so I wasn't able to upload the files, but tonight's the night! Sorry about that.

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing Chriztofr!

Patchou, to create a test server, I'd recommend downloading a free copy of VirtualPC from Microsoft and setting it up in that.

This is a basic step through of how I'd imagine setting up communications server/communicator would go:

1) Install Windows 2003 Server
2) Select that you want to install Active Directory, go through prompts, remember what you put for domain name
3) Control Panel > Advanced > Users and Computers
4) New User (username) x however many
5) Install Communcations Server
6) Install Communicator (client), log in with username@domainname


Patchou/Chriztofr, are either of you looking at implementing live spell checking (either for standard MsgPlus or for the Communicator addon)? If you want to see a best-case implementation, look at Gaim/Pidgin which uses aSpell, a free library.

There's already a very basic script for MsgPlus which gives a very basic level of spell checking but it doesn't check as you type and it doesn't give suggestions, it just auto-guesses for anything it can't recognise. Plus you need to mark each message you want checked. http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/292-aSpellChecker/

I should be able to get LCS running on my server within the next few weeks, as soon as i get my internet connection upgraded and I can sort out the mess of the DNS server.

Patchou: Let me know if you are still interested and I will see if i can get it set up to a working state.

Are any of you still looking for Floating Contacts for Communicator 2005? I added support for it in for myself on top of Chris' code...
I'll put it online incase anyone is actually looking for it

Patchou, have you been able to test with Communicator yet?

My company is just now switching over to 2005 (yes, 2005), and I really need the logging.  I tried chriztofr's Logger, but it won't unpause, so it's not logging anything.

I still have no way to connect to any Communicator server. Still waiting for someone to send me a login and password .

I was getting ready to set this up for Patchou, but how do I get around this?

Public IM Connectivity requires a per-user; per-month subscription license that is in addition to the Live Communication Server Client Access License (CAL). No trial or evaluation is available for the public IM connectivity service. However, customers have the option of purchasing a small number of public IM connectivity licenses allowing their company to try the service, and then increase the number of licensed users once they find the service meets their needs.

I can install LCS 2005 on a VM but then can we somehow test using "Private" instead of "Public" IM accounts?

Edit:  By the way, I'm a new member but I used to use Plus! years ago and loved it.  Looking forward to using it on Office Communicator 2005 that work is forcing upon us, and soon going to be OCS 2007.

Private VM accounts are the default already, as it sounds from that post. As far as a server goes, I have Exchange and LCS already installed, I just need assistance getting LCS connectivity working. For access, its going to probably have to be done via Remote Desktop. Contact me if you're willing to help out rezilient, or anyone else.

Here's an update:
I just sent an email to Patchou informing him that I have an LCS server complete with Office Communicator at his disposal
