Registering a SIP Application with Office Communications Server
The following managed code sample registers a MSFT_SIPApplicationSetting (Updated) object for a SIP application that will run on Office Communications Server. This object contains the information used by WMI to identify a SIP application on the server.
The application is registered if a corresponding MSFT_SIPApplicationSetting entry with the same URI is present in the WMI repository. The URI of the application is defined in the application manifest of the SIP application. If an application is not successfully registered (a corresponding WMI entry was not created), the application will not connect to the Office Communications Server.
Script-only (MSPL) applications are installed through the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), rather than WMI directly.
