Microsoft Office Communicator Chat

Is there a way to start a Communicator chat with a user from within LANSweeper?

Thanks.

We do not support making custom website changes. If you are trying to implement a user action, you can do so in the Lansweeper 5.0 web console under Configuration/Website Management/User Pages. The custom action will then be listed on user webpages.

That's handy. Thanks very much.

You can modify this file

C:\Program Files\Lansweeper\Website\it-userdetail.aspx

Add this to the file after line with "mailto"

<tr >
<td align="right" valign="top" ><b>Lync IM:</b>&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top" ><a href="SIP:<%# dscomputers.FieldValue("email", Container) %>" class="clicklink"><%# dscomputers.FieldValue("email", Container) %></a>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

I know this is old. but i would like to make it work.

Am i blind or does this file not exist in the current version of LS?

If it has been changed, any idea what the new file would be?

Please forgive me for asking this, but you did change "@mydomainname.com" to your actual domain name when setting up the action, correct?

🙂

communicator.exe sip:{username}@mydomainname.com does not seem to work for me. It does bring up the chat dialog, but I am unable to chat with the user. "Presence unknown" is displayed when you hover your mouse over the user's status icon in the chat window.


Thanks,
Niles

Awesome. I finally got to messing with this and the article helped like crazy. I set up a new action that says this:

communicator.exe sip:{username}@mydomainname.com.

I did have to add the path to the Communicator program to my PATH statement in system variables but it works like a champ. Thanks!
