Answered Group Chat Scenario... Will it work?

    We have an emergency ops organization that has a situation room sot-to-speak.  We generally restrict admin privy but provide them several accounts that are used for the 20 or so computers spread out over their operations that they need to keep logged on during an event.  They want to be able to share information and documents.  Obviously, using communicator or LiveMeeting ties each user to an account so the three or so they share doesn't put them into a "free for all" situation.  Now I figure group chat isn't exactly a "free for all" but I'm thinking they might be able to keep a session open on many computers with a few login id's and switch between them just fine.  "Names" aren't as important as just being able to relay information.  So does it sound like that might be a good scenario for a Group Chat server?  I can add one on to my R2 deployment... heck, I could even assign phone numbers to them and enable voice.  

    Thanks in advance...

    Sounds an ideal scenario for group chat all the discussions and files are kept on the channel and people can scroll back and see what has happened. Only issues I would see but you don't seem to think is an issue is the tracing of who said what. There is no extra OCS licensing you just need a Windows server to run group chat. Give it a try and see what you think.

    One last question then.  If a user accesses the session on one computer and then moves to another computer, does it log him out of the session on the first one?  Or do all clients stay open on the session.  It would be convienient if all sessions stayed open during the exercise.

    Thanks!

    Hi Jim,
    Sure, OCS allows multiple client endpoints to be registered for the same user or SIP URI. But there is a limit of eight active registrations allowed by the server for any user. If an account is signed on to two Communicator instances (say a laptop and a desktop), then a 10-second delay is provided to allow the user to accept the instant message from one device. When there is no answer, the instant message is auto-accepted on the most active Communicator instance.
