Microsoft Messenger for Mac version 6.0 – Deployment PDF Manual Guide
Overview of Messenger for Mac
Messenger for Mac makes real-time communication and collaboration, as well as enhanced security, simple for corporate Mac users. Messenger for Mac has the following new features: Business conversations with other employees occur through Live Communications Server, with enhanced security behind the corporate firewall. Security in your organization is enhanced. Through its integration with Live Communication Server, Messenger supports server-side session logging and more secure corporate messaging. Users have simultaneous access to corporate accounts and personal accounts from the new window interface. Users can hold instant message conversations with Yahoo! Messenger contacts from their
personal account.
Messenger for Mac provides two types of communication services for instant messaging: Personal A personal account uses the Windows Live Messenger service. Contacts that a user adds to his or her personal account include friends and family members.
At no extra charge, personal account users can now communicate with users of Yahoo! Messenger. Corporate A corporate account uses the Live Communications Server service. When Messenger for Mac users are connected to a Live Communications Server, they can communicate in real time over a corporate network. Contacts that a user adds to his or her corporate account include coworkers in the same company and associates at other companies.
Corporate account instant-message conversations are no longer limited to conversations with other Messenger for Mac users. With the Live Communications Server add-on, corporate account users can have instant message conversations with contacts who use AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Yahoo! Messenger, and iChat when you purchase the required instant messaging (IM) connectivity licenses. You can then authorize or deny federated access for individuals or groups of users, and you can block federated partners from using IM with particular users. You can also choose to archive messages to federated partners and notify those partners of this decision.
Macintosh computer running Messenger for Mac A real-time communications client for corporate Macintosh users. With a corporate account, users in the same organization communicate by using text messaging through the Live Communications Server. Because the client is presence-enabled, status shows whether a user is connected to a network and available to communicate in real time. Live Communications Server Standard Edition A single, stand-alone instant-messaging (IM) and presence server on the same computer with a Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE) database for storing user data. Choose a Standard Edition Server if you are deploying Messenger in a small organization where enterprise-level capacity and performance are not required. A Standard Edition Server supports up to 15,000 concurrent connections. Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 is based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and SIMPLE (SIP IM and Presence Leveraging Extensions) standards.
Active Directory
The Live Communications Server and Messenger for Mac environment depends on Active Directory. Active Directory is used for authenticating, authorizing, provisioning, and configuring Live Communications Server. Active Directory also supplies the enterprise address list to make search-based lookups easier. User Replicator The User Replicator uses Directory Synchronization to track changes to user objects in Active Directory
shortly after the changes occur. The User Replicator provides Active Directory with a list of attributes that must synchronize with the Address Book Service. The User Replicator stores the changed attribute values it receives from Active Directory in the database of user data. The Directory Synchronization API gives the User Replicator a cookie that identifies a point in the Active Directory change list. When the User Replicator passes a cookie to Directory Synchronization, the User Replicator receives every change after the point identified by the cookie. The only state that the User Replicator stores as a result of synchronization is the cookie.
