Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Product Overview – v 2009.1.30 8
Contact tagging
If the required contact is unavailable,
users can tag the contact by clicking
the right mouse button on the
contact’s name and selecting Tag
Contact. After the user tags a contact,
the user will automatically receive a
notification when the contact’s status
changes. (See Figure 4) The tag can be
removed when it is no longer needed.
Contact grouping
Users can group their contacts in a
variety of ways, including user-defined
groups, organization-defined groups,
contact availability, contact presence,
or tagged contacts. Contacts can be
sorted alphabetically by display name
instead of by presence status so that
the Contact List can be used as an
address book.

Distribution list integration
Users can search for distribution lists, as well as for individual contacts. They can add distribution lists to
their Contact List, view distribution list members, and start conversations with one or more of the
distribution list members. This capability provides integration with company distribution lists (Exchange
data groups that are stored in Active Directory® Domain Services) and eliminates the need to create
groups manually to mirror distribution groups.
Phone number contacts
Beginning with Office Communications Server 2007 R2, users can add outside phone numbers to their
Contact List so they can conveniently call people, such as friends and family members, by typing in a
phone number and moving it to the Contact List or by dragging a number from Recent Contacts into the
Contact List.
New groups in the Contact List for Delegates and Team-Call groups
In Office Communicator 2007 R2, users can display a Team-Call group or a Delegates group in the
Contact List. These two groups are determined by the configuration of the call forwarding settings; users
do not have to set them manually.
