In addition to specifying the version of clients that you want to support in your Microsoft Communications Server 2010 environment, you can also specify a default action for clients that do not already have a version policy defined. This enables you to restrict which client versions are used in your Communications Server 2010 environment, which can help you control the costs associated with supporting multiple client versions.
To modify the default action for
clients not explicitly supported or restricted
-
Open Communications Server Control Panel.
-
Click Clients, and then click Client Version Configuration.
-
On the Client Version Configuration tab, double-click the Global configuration in the list.
-
In the Edit Client Version Configuration dialog box, ensure that the Enable version control checkbox is selected and then, under Default action, select one of the following:
- Allow – Allow the client to log on if the client version
does not match any filter in the Client version policies
list.
- Block – Prevent the client from logging on if the client
version does not match any filter in the Client version
policies list.
- Block with URL - Prevent the client from logging on if
the client version does not match any filter in the Client
version policies list, and include an error message containing
a URL where a newer client can be downloaded.
- Allow – Allow the client to log on if the client version
does not match any filter in the Client version policies
list.
-
If, in the previous step, you selected Block with URL, in the URL box, type the client download URL to include in the error message.
-
Click Commit.
