Configuring Meeting Invitation URLs
Dernière rubrique modifiée : 2009-03-06
When a user is invited to a meeting, the user receives a meeting invitation through the Microsoft Office Outlook messaging and collaboration client. The meeting invitation contains a URL to join the meeting. Additionally, if you have configured Office Communications Server 2007 R2 to support meetings for both internal and external users, the following URLs are available to meeting attendees:
- Meeting client download URL. This is a link for users to download and install the Live Meeting 2007 client. You can change the internal meeting client download URL only; you cannot change the external client download URL.
- Support page URLs. By default, both the internal and external URLs link to a Microsoft support page (for example, https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=141722), but you can host your own support page on your own Web server.
Use the procedures in this topic to do the following:
- Specify a URL for downloading the Live Meeting 2007 Client.
- Host a support page on a Web server and specify the support URL.
To specify a URL for downloading the Live Meeting 2007 Client
On a Web Components Server that has the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 administrative tools installed, open the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in.
In the console tree, expand the forest node, and then do one of the following:
- For an Enterprise pool, expand Enterprise pools, expand the pool, right-click Web Components, and then click Properties.
- For a Standard Edition server, expand Standard Edition servers, right-click the pool, click Properties, and then click Web Component Properties.
Click the Meeting Invitations tab.
Under Live Meeting 2007 Client URL, do the following:
- In Internal, type the URL that you want internal users to use to download the client. For example, http://eepool1.contoso.com/meetings/int/clientdownload.html or http://OCSServer1.contoso.com/meetings/int/clientdownload.html.
- In External, type the URL that you want external users to use to download the client. For example, http://eepool1.contoso.com/meetings/ext/clientdownload.html or http://OCSServer1.contoso.com/meetings/ext/clientdownload.html.
When you are finished, click Technical Support URL and follow the “To host the support page on a Web server and specify the support URL” procedure later in this topic to configure the support URL, or click OK.
To host the support page on a Web server and specify the support URL
Log on to the Web server.
Create a Web page (in any format) providing support information for Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Web conferencing users.
Copy the Web page to a Web folder that internal users can access and to a Web folder that external users can access.
Remarque : For example, you could copy the Web page to the default wwwroot directory for a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server. If you copy an HTML Web page to "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\meetings\support\int," the default URL is https://<FQDN of the server running Web Components>/meetings/support/int/<WebPageFilename>.html.
After you copy the support page to the appropriate locations, verify the following:- The URL that you want internal users to use to download the page works inside the corporate network only.
- The URL that you want external users to use to download the page works from outside the corporate network.
- The URL that you want internal users to use to download the page works inside the corporate network only.
Open Office Communications Server 2007 R2.
In the console tree, expand the forest node, and then do one of the following:
- For an Enterprise pool, expand Enterprise pools, expand the pool, right-click Web Components, and then click Properties.
- For a Standard Edition server, expand Standard Edition servers, right-click the pool, click Properties, and then click Web Component Properties.
Click the Meeting Invitations tab.
Under Technical Support URL, do the following:
- In Internal, type the URL that you want internal users to use to view the support page. For example, http://eepool.contoso.com/meeting/int/Tshoot.html or http://OCSServer1.contoso.com/meeting/int/Tshoot.html.
- In External, type the URL that you want external users to use to view the support page. For example, http://eepool.contoso.com/meeting/ext/Tshoot.html or http://OCSServer1.contoso.com/meeting/ext/Tshoot.html.
