We've been asked to do something with rooms and not too sure how..

• We have 4 rooms at a conference that can be booked by any of the sales team
• We have a group of admins that should be able to change these meetings, including:
  • Change times (done)
  • Change Room

We're ok with the time change, setting them as owner on the \Calendar folder of the room mailbox allows this.

What I cant find is a way to allow them to change the room/location. They can type over the "location" field, and save this, but the meeting stays in the "old" room's calendar.

eg: Bob books a meeting in room 1. An hour later, Fred needs to book it - Fred is friends with the boss, so it must be done. The admin can open Bob's meeting and see attendees, but cannot use the scheduling assistant to select a new room, and overtyping the "Location" field just changes text, it stays in room1's calendar.

Any idea how we can allow these admins to change the room for a meeting they do not own?

Can anyone help with normalizing incoming numbers from our audiocodes mediant 1000 (from PSTN) box into lync. Out the box, numbers are presented to lync without a leading zero, so eg a local london number comes through as 208 123 1234. Here's what ive tried:

Add normalization rule for these number in a user dial plan (test 208 123 1234 normalizes to 0208 123 1234) Add similar normalization rule to a pool dial plan using the audiocodes gateway

I see From:sip:23081231234... in the logs, some of them have phone-context=UK (is the context the dial plan its using?)

These all test fine, and show the correct normalized number, but the incoming calls still do not seem to be normalized - is there something I'm missing?

Thanks,

We have a strange socket issue with a RHES3 box:

Python 2.4.1 (#1, Jul  5 2005, 19:17:11)
[GCC 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-52)]
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket
>>> s = socket.socket()
>>> s.bind(('localhost',12351))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "<string>", line 1, in bind
socket.error: (98, 'Address already in use')

This seems normal, lets see what has that socket:

# netstat -untap | grep 12351

{no output}

# grep 12351 /proc/net/tcp

{no output}

# lsof | grep 12351

{no output}

# fuser -n tcp 12351

{no output, repeating the python test fails again}

# nc localhost 12351

{no output}

# nmap localhost 12351

{shows port closed}

Other high ports work fine (eg 12352 works)

Is there something magic about this port? Is there somewhere else I can look? Where does python find out that socket is in use that netstat doesnt know about? Any other way I can find out what/if that socket is?

Apologies if this is already answered, its a tricky one to search for! We are using split DNS for a domain used internally. For the outside nameservers, theres a simple zone with:

@   IN A ip.ad.dr.ess
www IN A ip.ad.re.ss

This works fine externally. Internally its a windows server 2003 DNS server, so the www a record works fine, but I cant figure out how to add that primary record (using at symbol @ in bind).

Can anyone help with how to get the same results from windows dns? I just want to be able to add a record for example.com without being forced to use something.example.com

Thanks,

Edit: This domain is not the "main" AD domain, and not used for logins etc.

Edit: I was attempting to update the zone on another server (zone is ad integrated, so shouldnt matter?) getting the error. Adding it to the same zone on another AD server worked. Not sure if it makes a difference, but this server that it worked on currently holds all fsmo roles.
