Delays

The transfer of the domain fell through the first time, but the issues should be sorted out now. A couple of days now, and the transfer will hopefully be done.

I'm moving

I havee finally gotten around to moving my domain to a new registrar, and rented a VPS at slicehost.com.

So now I'm moving this blog where it was meant to be all along.

The new location for this blog is www.codesalot.com.

There will be no more posts at this site. See you there :)

OCS 2007 R2 Bug

Seems there is a bug in OCS 2007 R2 that makes the edge server behave strangely. You will fail validation, and you might also get a "Limited External calling" message in the OC client.

The solution is posted here:

Office Communications Server 2007 R2 running on Windows Server 2008 service problems

I have on a couple of occations now experienced problems with the services on OCS 2007 R2, when running on 2008 server. I seems that the services hang during boot, and this causes all other services to halt startup as well.

The first time i experienced this, the server seemed to hang on "Configuring updates" during boot, though this was not the case.

The solution has been to either set all OCS services to "Automatic (delayed startup)", or to keep the front end service to "Automatic" and all other OCS services to delayed.

I dont know why this happens, and I haven't been able to figure it out. If someone has an idea of why, please let me know.
