On-Premises Live Meeting
On-Premises Live Meeting uses OCS to provide a feature-rich Web conferencing solution
that has a familiar look and feel to end users (see Figure 8.1). On-Premises Live Meeting
uses the Live Meeting client that must be installed on all participants??™ workstations. This
lightweight application provides the interface in which attendees can start, interact with, and
take part in a Web conference meeting. The client connects to the OCS conferencing server
246 Chapter 8 ??? Confi guring Conferencing Servers
when a meeting is started or joined. The conference is then managed by services running on
the OCS server. A few key features of On-Premises Live Meeting that the hosted solution
does not provide are:
?– Active Directory integration You can control security and admittance into
conferences via Active Directory. You can set up conferences to allow only Active
Directory users who receive the invitation, any Active Directory user, or
anonymous users who have a meeting code. You can also use Active Directory to
control who can initiate Web conference sessions via Live Meeting.
?– Federation Using On-Premises Live Meeting, you can also take advantage of
OCS federation features to allow federated partners to join and take part in the
conference. If you want to enable federated users to join a Live Meeting, you will
want to deploy an OCS edge server in your perimeter network.
?– Local storage of archived and recorded sessions On-Premises Live Meeting
also allows you to record and archive meetings on your servers instead of storing
them on Hosted Live Meeting servers.
