Testing the Premier Conferencing Adapter for Sametime 6.5.1


Tags :


I finally got off my behind to start testing the new conferencing adapter.  Let's make this very simple.  Just download and install.  Well maybe.  There are a couple things to be aware of.

  1. The download includes an updated template for the Sametime Meeting Center (I always presumed this database name won't change since it is hard to type Lotus Web Conferencing Meeting Center onto a desktop icon).  This new template has some changes for the adapter, but of course will wipe out any customizations you might have made to your own template.  So, as always, back it up first before the install.
  2. Next is a catch with the Sametime Meeting Room Client (MRC651).  This downloadable piece that gets installed when you participate in meetings (remember the nice grey screen as you wait for a server, that is this downloading).  Well if the user does not have permission to install or this gets blocked then the meeting won't work either.

Now if you play with this new feature and don't like it or want to turn it off there are two simple steps you must perform.  Yeah simple, right.
1.        Open the stconfig.nsf database and edit the MeetingServices document. Set the Audio Bridge Services field value to "false."
2.        Run the "regedit" command and change the following registry setting to "0":
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Sametime\MeetingServer\ServiceAudioBridgeServer\Enabled

So we are playing with this new piece and will let you know as the test goes on.
