Article ID: 946096

Article Last Modified on 12/17/2007



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007



SYMPTOMS

You use the user principal name (UPN) to log on to the Windows-based Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007 client. When you try to use the Windows-based Live Meeting 2007 client to connect to a meeting that is hosted by Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, you are repeatedly prompted for the user name and for the password. In this situation, if you enter the Security Accounts Manager (SAM) account name, you are connected to the meeting.

For example, this problem occurs if the Windows-based Live Meeting 2007 client is configured as follows:

  • UPN: your_user_name@alpineskihouse.com
  • SAM Account Name: fabrikam\your_user_name_alpineskihouse
  • Default Active Directory domain: Fabrikam.com


CAUSE

This problem occurs because the UPN does not match the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the default Active Directory domain.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, install the Windows-based Live Meeting 2007 client update package that is dated December 17, 2007. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
