GoDaddy won’t issue a UCC cert for a Lync pool with a private domain name
A customer had a Lync 2010 environment with a pool name that used a private domain name and not an FQDN. When we attempted to request a UCC certificate from GoDaddy.com from the CSR generated from the Lync Deplyment Wizard we recieved the error:
You must use a fully-qualified primary domain name for UCC Certificate Request.
We called GoDaddy and according to them there was no way around this. So after attempting to generate a customized CSR with the Request-CsCertificate command without any success, we found how to manually generate a customized CSR using the certreq command.
3-party IM conference with OCS 2007 and OCS 2007 R2
OK, so you just got your shiny new Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 (R1 or R2) implementation up and running, and whoa!, you start receiving complaints that users are unable to initiate multiparty instant messaging (IM) sessions, or multi-party conferences.
The setup:
OCS 2007 R1 and R2 (Standard)
Cisco Unified Presence Server v7.0.2
Cisco Call Manager v7.0.1.11000-2
In OCS 2007, the error reads as:
“Your attempt to start a conference was unsuccessful. If you need further assistance, contact your system administrator.”
