Use HMC 4.5 to address several critical customer scenarios, including:
Messaging and management of e-mail messages, attachments, and business tasks. HMC 4.5 lets you extend your reach to SMB customers, small office and home office customers, and even individuals. Services can range from reliable, scalable e-mail functionality to additional storage, shared calendars and contacts, and hosting of personal domains.
Direct, multichannel communications. Using the contact information stored in Microsoft Active Directory®, Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 manages all communications, including e-mail, instant messaging, audio, video, Web conferencing, and PC-to-PC calling. Office Communications Server 2007 enables presence, so people can determine whether others are available before contacting them in the most practical way--for example, by instant messaging, a phone call, or a video conference.
Secure, productive collaboration and sharing of digital assets. Windows SharePoint Services gives you a way to host team Web sites that can become a customer's preferred avenue for effective teamwork and content exchange.
The table below highlights the advantages of the key elements of HMC 4.5.

HI pOweRK6,
We are currently trying to implement a consolidated architecture of H.M.C 4.5 . Are you aware of any other party that has tried to do so ?
Would you be able to point us to existing consolidated deployment information ?
The 4.0. Guide worked almost flawlessly for 4.0... Hope there is a 4.5. guide out there too
cheers,
Mike
Hi Mike, I just come back from my vacation, so can only reply you today.
Yes, I am trying to do a consolidated arch for HMC4.5, it's a little complex than HMC4. you know, v4.5 has OCS part. I have to take some time to study&research. Anyway, if I have done, I will let you know. Randy Zhong
Hi Randy
Since HMC 4.5 is out yet i'm trying to build HMC4.0. Unfortunately when i'm about to deploy MPS, i can't find SolutionMedia\Service Provisioning\Deployment Tool\DeploymentTool.msi. So what i did was to download DeploymentTool.msi and installed on MPSSQL01. Now here is the problem, when i launched Provisioning Deployment Tool it asked me to put "Installer Files" and "Configuration/Log Files" and i have no idea where these 2 folders are.
Please help
Many thanks
km
Hi KM,
you should download a iso file from MS site, right? HMC-4.0.460.0.ISO. Use a virtual CDROM tool like Daemon Tools to mount it or use WINRAR to extract it, then you can find \Service Provisioning\DeploymentTool\DeploymentTool.msi file.
Cheers,
Randy
Dear Randy
Sorry for the late reply, I got it working....thank you so much.
Now, i have encountered another problem. When I'm trying to prepare AD for Exchange, after successfully installed PowerShell 1.0 it prompts me "Please go to the Control Panel to install and configure system components" after running the command "Setup /PrepareSchema". I wonder whether it's because my AD is running on server 2003 sp2 R2 KN.
thank you so much for your help again.
regards,
km
Km,
Win2003 AD is ok. But you need to do some Schema change. So you need to run "Setup /PrepareSchema". Did you follow the steps of the guide or HMC4 help file? After you run this command, you should wait for the changes to replicate across your Exchange organization before continuing to the next step. The amount of time this takes is dependent upon your Active Directory site topology.
After you run PrepareSchema and allow time for replication, you must run Exchange Server 2007 PrepareAD.
Procedure DWHE.3: To run PrepareAD
BR,
Randy
Hi Randy,
I did follow the steps in the guide for HMC4 help file, but i'm stucked at (Procedure DWHE.2). The problem occurs while running "Setup /PrepareSchema" in command prompt, it does nothing but prompted me a window with message "Please go to the Control Panel to install and configure system components". In other words, it didn't do any replication.
I'm doing this on my X86 WS2003 AD and haven't installed Exchange 2007 on any other server yet.
thank you for helping again. 感謝你
km
Hi km,
According to your description, your AD is running on a x86 platform, and Exchange 2007 RTM/SP1 version is running on a x64 OS, so you have 2 options:
1. Replace your AD from x86 to x64.
2. Download a 32-bit Exchange 2007, then use this 32-bit version to run PrepareSchema and PrepareAD steps.
Good Luck!
Cheers,
Randy
Hi Randy
I'm here to bother again. Thanks everything in advance!!!
when i was trying to "Add a Consumer User and Mail-Enable Them", logging on to "www.consolidatedmessenger.com/sampleprovisioningui" with "admin@consolidatedmessenger.com" as UserID, I wasn't able to create mailbox for Cindy Durkin or any user. All i can do is editing admin's information. Do you have any idea?
thanks
best regards,
km
Hi Randy
Sorry to mention that the problem i mentioned in previously occurs on MPSSQL01 but it works on FE01. I was able to create mailbox for consumer client (Cindy Durkin) on FE01.
thanks
km
Hi Randy
i had it under control. thanks anyway. But now, i can't create a new mailbox for "Cindy Durkin", it prompts me "There were no ranked resources found in the candidate set.. Any idea?
thanks again in advace
km"
Hi Randy
I now encounter an error "There were no ranked resources found in the candidate set 0xc220123" while creating a mailbox for Cindy Durkin. It seems it's due to lack of space in MailStore, but since it's the first user that i'm creating i shouldn't have this problem.
Thanks in advance
km
Hi km,
Did you allocate enough space for organization plan? And what's the size of your first created user?
There are different levels of allocation. First of all, the mailstore gets an allocation. Then the organization can be also allocated on one (or multiple) mailstores. Check that he organization of the user would not be short in allocation.
The organization is allocated throught the organization plan (check the org plan to see what is the quota (if any)).
Note that an org can also be dynamically allocated, and in this case the org would not be assigned any global allocation.
Regards,
Randy
Thanks a lot Randy!!! That's very helpful...
Now,my question is...do we really need to deploy consumer vanity domain? coz when i provtest Createconsumervanitydomain, it returns "Unable to open object 'LDAP:/AD01.fabrikam.com/CN=cindyd@wingtiptoys.com,OU=LitwareInc,OU=ConsolidatedMessenger,OU=Hosting,DC=Fabrikam,DC=Com'"./There is no such object on the server./ADsGetObject/GetProperties.
many thanks
best regards,
km
km,
if you don't have consumer users, you don't need to deploy consumer vanity domain.
Randy
Hi Randy
Sorry to bother you again. I tried to create a new site for an organization (Alpineskihouse), but i got an error sayting..."The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found"
Any suggestions?
thanks a lot in advance
km
km, make sure the information in the web.config file for the SampleProvisioningUI are correct. Pay special attention to the URL's for the web service. Sometimes the "localhost" reference doesn't always work. So you can try replacing it with the real server name.
Also, you can check the IIS log on the server machine to see whether the request actually arrive the server.

Hi Randy,
Did you ever managed to set up a 4.5 arch?
We're thinking of implementing this to as it sound ideal for our purposes but it is hard to find some clear instructions and the Technet information isn't exactly detailed.
Thanks,
Kristof
Hi Kristof,
We'd plan to upgrade to HMC4.5 at the end of this year. HMC4.5 CHM help file can help you to do its deployment. However, I will try to write a guidance later. Any updates, I will post it here. Thank you for your attention.
Regards,
Randy
Hi Randy,
Thanks for the update.
I'll check back later :-)
Regards,
Kristof
Randy,
Did you ever get a 4.5 guide written, you 4.0 guide was great.
thanks,
David
Hi David,
Not yet. I am thinking whether the consolidated guide is useful for people.
Anyway, I plan to build a lab environment and write a guide for HMC4.5 in next 3 months.
Thanks for your attention.
Regards,
Randy
