Microsoft Office Presence indicator Jelly Beans

[Sarg .]

Hello guys,

I have been doing some presnce labbing. So far I have integrated Cisco CUPC with Unity connection for soft-phone voice-mail, active directory for  user lookup and I am currently working on calendaring. However, I am trying to get my head around getting something like microsoft word, outlook etc to show presence status of users.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Cheers

The Microsoft applications look for the user's presence URI in the proxyAddress attribute of their AD account. If they find it they query Jabber for the details through a Microsoft API that Jabber integrates with. Jabber returns the presence details and accepts the actions (e.g. call, start IM conversation, etc) through this API. The Server Setup Guide includes a section on how to configure this:

Thanks mate for the help. You have been always been very willing to help on this board. cheers for the link. I really liked it. I am going to have to give it ago.

One question I must ask though, I noticed the opening sentence  stated that  Cisco 'Jabber for Windows integrates with Microsoft Office'. Is really about jabber intigration or CUPS integration. I quickly scanned through the entire PDF and it looked very much like the many presence study guides out there talking about cups and cupc.

what are you thoughts on this?

Office and Jabber integrate locally on the workstation. This is separate from the server-side free/busy integration CUP can perform with Exchange.
