    This update package fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

    • The license expiration date for Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2 Evaluation Edition was calculated incorrectly. This causes OCS 2007 R2 Evaluation Edition to expire on July 13, 2009. This update fixes the license expiration date calculation for the OCS 2007 R2 Evaluation Edition. By downloading this update, the expiration date will be calculated correctly, based on the installation date of the server.
    • Earlier updates of OCS 2007 R2 required Microsoft Message Queuing to be installed on OCS 2007 R2 Enterprise Edition Distributed – Front End or the OCS 2007 R2 Standard Edition. This update removes that requirement.
    • The RTC Media Relay driver in OCS Edge Server has also been updated this update.

    UPDATE:

    Communicator Phone Edition hotfixes can be downloaded here. Hotfix includes fixes for:

     

    When you connect your IP phone through the Internet, the telephone call logs are not populated with received or dialed calls.

  • When you block a contact, you cannot call that contact from the Contact List.
  • After you apply the update package in KB 972398 to your IP phone, the telephone performance becomes slow. The response time of the dial pad also becomes slow.
  • Happy patching!
