Hi, Muthurani. 

It is a great information. 

I have one question: On the Full UC mode, What does mean UC? Unified Communications?

Thank you

Regards.

Hi, Muthurani.

 

I have a question about the IM-Only deployment mode. I see that the only way to do this is to not provision users with a device. Our situation is in a Citrix Xenapp environment where the users are mixed - some having Jabber installed on their computers and some don't. We need a way to allow Jabber to run in Citrix as IM-Only even though some users will have provisioned devices -- is that possible?

Regarding the Phone Only mode, Jabber version 12.x supports "Phone Only mode with contacts". Does it means that you are able to build a contact list in Phone Mode? I am following the On-Premises Configuration Guide to set it up, but I am unable to making it show a contact list
