Integration

V 11.8

Installation and Usage

D13562 Rev.12

This document is not to be reproduced in whole

or in part without permission in writing from:

TANDBERG offers an optional component to fully integrate the

TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) with Microsoft Exchange and

Outlook. This integration gives the users the ability to schedule vide-

oconferences, book meeting rooms and invite participants using their

Microsoft Outlook client.

The videoconferencing systems are registered as resources in Ex-

change, allowing end users to view their availability when making

the booking.

Functional overview

The integration requires a software component to be installed on the

Microsoft Exchange server.

Note that there is no need to update any of the Microsoft Outlook

clients.

In a front-end/back-end server scenario, the integration should be

installed on a back-end server.

Please see www.microsoft.com for more information about Microsoft

Exchange.

Server Requirements

TMS requirements TMS

TMS V 9 for limited functionality, to get full functionality TMS V 11.7 or later is

required

Only one Exchange server can connect to TMS per Active Directory domain. If

there are multiple domains that are integrated with the same or different TMS

server(s) (in one forest), it is recommended to hide the resources between the

domains. TMS will not correctly build a call route if the resources in a single

meeting are split between the different domains.

All resource accounts representing Videoconference systems in one TMS Ex-

change Integration must have mailboxes on the same Exchange server. This

server cannot use Exchange Clustering, but the server can work as a link be-

tween a clustered Exchange solution and the TMS server. The Resources will

however be accessible to all users in the same Exchange organisation.

Different versions of a custom form in one Exchange Organization is not sup-

ported by Microsoft. However, the 8.0 Exchange Integration Component can

use the 9.0 version of the custom form and vice versa.

The group permisssions used on the calendars are not compatible with

the “Windows 2000 mixed” domain level. You need to raise the domain

level to “Windows 2000 Native” or higher. If you have to support NT4

servers and need “Windows 2000 mixed” domain functional level, you

have to apply your own set of permissions on the resource calendars by

logging on to each mailbox using Microsoft Outlook.

Technical Description Both TMS and Exchange have their own database for booking information.

For Exchange the database contains resource availability based on free/busy

information for resource accounts. This information is stored in Exchange mail-

boxes and public folders.

TMS knows the resource availability based on its SQL Server database. That

means that there are two different systems that are separate, but must show

the same resource availability.

Two Exchange terms are important in the Exchange Integration; sinks and syn-

chronization. A sink is a Microsoft concept in Exchange where the sink is a

‘hook’ which allows another process to be ran when calendar data is written.

This is used for intercepting meeting reservations in Exchange, making sure

that the meeting is validated and stored in TMS before the meeting is stored in

Exchange. A result from a sink is either true or false, so if true is returned the

meeting is booked in Exchange as well. If it is false, an e-mail is sent to the

requester describing why the meeting could not be booked on the TMS server,

and the meeting booking is aborted.

A synchronizer is used to ‘sync’ the data between the TMS server and Ex-

change. Meetings that are booked in TMS will be duplicated in the Exchange

database by the synchronizer. This syncronizer is run every 5 minutes, making

sure that meetings created in TMS are also copied to Exchange. In addition,

each time a meeting is booked in TMS, an e-mail is sent to the TMS-service

account. The TMS-Service mailbox has a sink installed that triggers the syn-

cronizer when it receives e-mails.

Impacts on the Exchange server

In order for the Exchange Integration to function, the installer must make some

changes to the Exchange environment and server. The following changes are

made by the installer:

Creates a Windows service for the synchronizer to run as – runs as

LocalSystem

Creates a tms-service account in the current Windows domain

Uses a strong password, can be changed via Conguration Tool

Creates mailbox for the tms-service account and congures the required

settings and sinks

Adds 6 role-restricted COM+ components. These run as tms-service

Creates an address book in Exchange that will automatically list all TMS

integrated rooms

Can be safely removed

Creates a new local Windows user account named tmsconfuser on the TMS

Server (Normal Windows User privileges only)

Alternatively the installer can use a pre-dened account on the TMS

server

Assigns the tmsconfuser a special Exchange Integration Account

permission in TMS

Creates some registry values, among others, an encrypted representation of

the password of the TMS server user

Creates 2 Security Groups

One for users who can book, and one for ‘admins’ who can access other

people’s bookings in resource calendars

Before you start installing the TMS Exchange Integration component on the

Exchange server, make sure you are logged in as a user that has the following

permissions:

- Is a Domain Administrator for the local domain

- Is a Local Machine Administrator

- Is an Exchange Administrator

You will also need a set of user credentials that is1

- Is an Site Administrator in TMS

- Is an Administrator of the Windows Server TMS runs on

Close all other applications running on the server.

Download the TMS Exchange Integration software package to the server (or

insert the CD ROM into your CD ROM drive), and start the installation program

(setup.exe) for the TMS Exchange Integration.

The installer will search for an already installed version of the TMS Exchange

Integration component. If one is present, the installer will start the uninstall

wizard. After the uninstallation, the setup needs to be launched again, to start

installation of the new version. See section Upgrading for further information

about upgrading.

The installation of the TMS Exchange component may require the instal-

lation of the additional Windows components (Windows component up-

date). A list of the components will be shown and installed automatically.

A reboot of the server might be required after the installation.

1 Not Necessary if using previously created tmsconfuser account - you

just need the username/password of the existing account to be used

Installation

The TANDBERG installer will prepare the installation wizard.

A welcome window will appear on the screen. Press the ‘Next’ button.

At this stage a picture might display a list of

the components that need to be installed

before the installation of the TMS Exchange

Integration can continue. These components

will be automatically installed.

Read and accept the License Agreement.

Select the destination folder where Setup will install the les. Click ‘Next’ to

accept the suggested path, or ‘Browse’ to change the path.

The installer will create a service account with a mailbox on the Exchange

server. Select which store on the Exchange server you would like to use

from the scroll-down menu, and click ‘Next’.

The Exchange integration uses credentials from an account that is dened

in this step. Either let the installer create this user for you, or if you need

more control of the user, choose an existing TMS account.

If choosing an existing TMS account,

this account needs to be congured for

Exchange booking capabilities. Go into the

Users tab of TMS, of the particular user, and

set ‘Exchange Integration Service Account’

to ‘Yes’.

Also make sure that the account is a member

of a group that has the ‘Book on behalf of’

option set, under the ‘Misc’ paragraph in

the Groups header in TMS. If the installer

creates the account, this conguration will

be completed automatically.

Enter the IP-address or host name of the TMS server, and the user name

and password to an account that has at least local computer admin rights

on the TMS server and Site administrator rights in TMS. HTTPS can now

be used between the servers. If this is enabled a trusted root certicate

needs to installed on both servers.

The Exchange Integration will create 2 security groups in the domain. Press

the ‘Next’ button to accept the default values suggested by the installation

wizard. They will be created as domain local groups.

The Exchange server needs to be able to

reach port 80/HTTP or port 443/HTTPS on

the TMS server (in case of rewall issues).

Users in your organization that

should have access to booking of

videoconferences using Exchange/

Outlook should be granted access to

the rst group, while admins should be

granted access to the second group.
