I've read on one of the MS websites that Windows Live Messenger should
interface with Oulook 2007. For example:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP012335511033.aspx?pid=CH100788851033
(By interface I mean only that Outlook should see it is installed and be
able to show whether an E-mail sender is online, etc.). When I open the
Options window, however, the options to enable these features
(Options-Other-Person Names) are greyed out and cannot be enabled.
To conifrm that Outlook was working, I tested with a download of Office
Communicator and when that program was loaded, the options were live (I
cannot, however, link Communications Server into our Active Directory due to
corporate policy... so that option is not viable). I cannot even log in to
Communicator as it cannot find the server.
I am using Vista, so "Windows Messenger" (which some others are using) will
not run properly on my machine... additionally my understanding is that this
software is no longer supported/being patched so I am resistant to deploying
it in my environment.
At any rate, is there some other setting I am missing or something else that
must be done to enable these features with the Windows Live Messenger? Thanks
in advance.
