Installation of Microsoft Office Communicator and Live Meeting
1. The Office Communicator (OCS) files are located at:
http://files.ifas.ufl.edu -> Software -> OCS. This should work with your
UFAD\GatorLink credentials for IFAS users.
Also at:
\\ufad-file\data\ufdi\public\OC
You must be connected to the UF network (UFAD), either directly or via VPN, to
access the files using this link. For information about UF VPNs, see http:/netservices.ufl.edu/provided_services/vpn/.
2. Install, in sequence:
Communicator.msi
LMSetup.exe
ConfAddins_Setup.exe
Office Communicator 2007 R2
Office Live Meeting 2007
Conferencing Add-in for Office Outlook
You'll need to shutdown and restart Outlook twice for the Conferencing Add-in to
install and be available in Outlook.
3. Start Communicator for the first time from the "Start" button. Enter your
username to be *your* @ufl.edu GatorLink e-mail address, such as
[email protected], then click the "Sign In" button. It may take more than a few
seconds for the sign in process to complete. If the sign in process fails due to
certificate error, which will happen if your machine isn't defined to UFAD, you'll
need to install the certificate manually, see the separate section below. More
information about using Office Communications Services is at:
http://www.mail.ufl.edu/realtime.shtml
4. To get started, click the small "Show menu" pull-down button just to the right
of the blue icon in the upper left corner of the Office Communicator title Bar. The
Tools option is where you add contacts; one easy way to find people is by doing a
search with the first letter of the last name in the last name field.
