I installed Windows XP Service Pack 2 to see what issues there are for Sametime
Category None
So far, the key one that I have come across is that the popup blocker stops a number of things from working, namely:
- ST Links incoming messages
- Instant Meetings
- Schedulled Meetings
The popup blocker is easy to address
- Load Internet Explorer
- Select Tools, Internet Options
- Click on the Privacy tab
- Press the pop-blocker settings button
- Type in the wild card for your domain, example *.acme.com and press Add
- Click Close and then OK
That addresses the pop-up blocker issue and Sametime Links incoming messages now work, but Instant Meetings still don't work. To address that issue there is a another setting that needs to be modified.
- Load Internet Explorer
- Select Tools, Internet Options
- Click on the Advanced tab
- Scroll down until you see the Security section
- In the Security section select "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" - This is required because Sametime meetings are started by a TMP file that containes HTML and Javascript, if you do not allow this content to run, Sametime Instant Meetings will never start.
- Click OK
This addesses the issue of Instant Meetings not starting.
