Todays update from Microsoft (KB974571) makes Office Communication Server think it is an expired evaluation!

The updates I mentioned in a previous post here http://www.sole.dk/post/microsoft-security-bulletin-for-october-2009/

Happened to have an update that kills Office Communication Server 2007 all editions (R2/Standard/Enterprise) and Live Communication Server 2005 (and SP1 edition).

The error that comes up in the event logs is that the server believes that it is an evaluation and just expired with this message: “The evaluation period for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 has expired. Please upgrade from the evaluation version to the full released version of the product.”

I also got this message in the event logs: “Error Code: C3E93C23 (SIPPROXY_E_INVALID_INSTALLATION_DATA)”

Event ids logged: 12290 Read the rest of this entry »
