    With regards to: Either Windows Messenger, MSN Messenger, or Microsoft Office Communicator are required to import Instant Messaging contacts I assume Windows Live Messenger is fine too?

    Hi Kevin - This sounds like a permissions problem.

    Hi, I have three questions:

  1. When would KN be released for RTM?
  2. Will this be a free add-on or we have to buy it?
  3. Will KN work on SharePoint 2007 standard or we need Enterprise? Thanks a lot. Gabo

    KN will be available for no additional charge. KN works with Office SharePoint Server 2007 Standard. KN also works with Office SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise, but does not require Enterprise. We’ll post more information soon about availability.

    I presume KN won't work with MOSS Ent RTM.  Is this true?  Since updating to RTM, KN has been broken.  I've tried uninstalling and re-installing twice now.  Alos, any hint on when the RTM version of KN will be available?  Thanks.

    This new solution (add on to MOSS 2007) for finding people in an organisation truly fascinates me, so

    Hi there, I noted an issue when the instance of Sharepoint is running on VMware. When you attempt to install onto the VM, the instaltion package responds with an unknown CPU type and the install is halted. Any assistance in this would really be apreciated as I would like to do a demo next week to the User Group in Australia. Ivan the Terrible.
