[cisco-voip] CUPS / M$

[Voice Noob]

I think the question was about using CUPS or OCS to do Chat and presence.
Why in the world would you need 3 or 4 servers for this?

I have deployed both CUPS by itself and CUPS with OCS and the OCS client is
MUCH better in regards to functionality. You don't have all of the user name
and password issues that you are going to have in CUPS because it uses your
windows login information. When you click the X in OCS it does not close the
program but sends it to the system tray. You also get all of the office
integration with OCS. When you get an e-mail from someone you can see in
outlook their current presence status and then double click their name in
the e-mail and it will call the person without them needing to be a local
contact like they do with CUPS.

Also the number of servers is kinda a wash. You need to use CUPS either way
you go even if you are going to use the OCS client. If you use the CUPS
client you must purchase meeting place express if you want desktop sharing
and collaboration. If you use the OCS client you and use live meeting in OCS
but you have to have another server for OCS.
