So I have 2 federated OCS orgs, one running OCS 2007, one running Lync. The users in the Lync org can see presence for OCS users, and can initiate IM conversations with the OCS folks. However, the OCS users cannot see presence of Lync users, and can not initiate a conversation with a Lync user, even if they provide the SIP address.
In this
situation A1 - lync with numerous federation (sip and xmpp) and B1 OCS 2007 (no
federations, yet)
·From
A1 I can initiate a messaging session and B1 is able to respond.
·A1
can see the status of B1
·During
the IM session, B1 sees the status of A1 as "unknown"
·B1
is neither able to see status of A1 or is able to initiate an IM session.
I originally followed the
guide “Deploying the BIG-IP LTM v9.x with Microsoft Office Communications
Server 2007”, but I’ve been reading that I might need 5065 and 5069 as
well. Is there any information available regarding this type of design,
with the directors behind the F5 as well? Or if anyone has done
this or is able to pass along some insight, any help would be appreciated.

So if the OCS user initiates the conversation by providing the SIP address of a Lync user, the OCS side gets a 483 error in the conversation window, and OCS logging shows the following:
Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am having the same issue between Lync and OCS users. When I use DNS Load Balancing both environments can see each other. When I move it to F5, only the Lync users can see the OCS users.
The issue that was in the starting post was a little known bug in OCS 2007. There is an issue with how the certificate needs to be created, the request needs to be created with the OCS certificate creation tool and the request needs to be either sent directly to the CA or input directly. There can't be a "middle-man" with the request. It has been fixed in all newer verisons of OCS and Lync.
