Action


Result
When you have installed Live Communications Server 2005, or the Admin pack of Live Communications Server 2005 onto a 64-bit Windows system, you find that the Live Communication Server administration snap-in is blank on this computer.

Also, when you check the user properties through Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in, the Live Communications tab is not displayed.



Cause
This behavior is by design on 64-bit Windows Server 2003 systems. The Live Communications Server Snap-in is 32-bit.



Resolution
Workaround 1:

Install LCS Admin Pack on a computer that's running 32-bit Windows systems, and then use that computer to manage Live Communications Server.

Workaround 2:

Run MMC in 32-bit mode. The command is like the following:

MMC /32 {path}\filename.msc
