 Anonymous Allowed. A meeting to which anonymous users can be invited. To create a meeting
of this type, the meeting organizer must be authorized to invite anonymous users. Users from
the organization join as attendees unless the meeting organizer has designated them as
presenters. Anonymous users join only as attendees, but the present can promote anonymous
users to the presenter role after they enter the meeting. To enter a meeting, anonymous users
must present a conference key, which they receive in an e-mail meeting invitation.
Intelligent IM filtering
Specific content can be filtered from IM messages, such as blocking file transfers of certain extensions,
including meeting handouts for conferencing.
Connect with federated partners
Office Communications Server 2007 R2 provides support for working with contacts that are located
outside the company. Federated contacts can be people in an organization that have a federated
relationship with the organization, or people connected to a public instant messaging service, such as
the MSN® network or the Windows Live network of Internet services. In the Contact List, users can see
an icon that identifies federated contacts (see Figure 65).
Federation can be enabled with public instant messenging networks and business partners. Federation
with businesses is more secure and includes all communication modes; public networks are limited to
instant messaging and presence, and they are less secure. Federation is enabled through the use of
open industry standards and/or openly published specifications, allowing multiple parties to achieve
interoperability for common use cases.
