OCS 2007 and Enhanced Presence

OCS 2007 and Enhanced Presence

I was having a problem with my OCS accounts that were created by AD Manager were not automatically enabled for Enhanced Presence. This was not letting the users log in to Communicator... which is a bit of a problem.

I finally solved this by using a script in the OCS 2007 Resource Kit. I have a scheduled task that runs every 30 minutes to enable Enhanced Presence for current OCS users

You need the LCSEnableConfigureUsers.wsf script from the Resource Kit placed in a directory and also create 2 text files named user.txt and config.txt

The user.txt file for me contains:
dn:CN=Users,DC=Domain,DC=com


You can use your own OU in the file. I have most of my users still in Users container. This is the only time that has come in handy :-)

The config.txt file should contain:
EnabledForEnhancedPresence:=true



Then simply run the script and it will configure the OCS users for you.
cscript LCSEnableConfigureUsers.wsf /usersfile:users.txt /configfile:config.txt

There are a number of other settings and changes you can make using that Resource Kit script. This is just one of them.
