Configuring Individual Office Communications Server User Account Properties

Topic Last Modified: 2009-03-06

After you have enabled individual user accounts for Office Communications Server 2007 R2, you can manage specific settings of an individual user account by using the Communications tab of the user account properties in the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in or Active Directory Users and Computers. This procedure is useful if you want to change a small number of settings for a small number of user accounts.

In Office Communications Server 2007 R2, only users that have been initially enabled in the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in for Office Communications Server 2007 R2 are available for configuration in the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in. Additionally, some user settings require that global settings be configured before individual user settings can be configured. If you enable federation for the forest, you can then specify that an individual user is either enabled or disabled for federation. If you configure archiving, meetings, or Enterprise Voice in global properties to use user settings, you can then configure archiving, meeting policy, and Voice policy settings on a per-user basis. Other settings, such as remote access and enhanced presence, do not exist at the forest level and can only be configured on a per-pool or per-user basis.
