I was wondering if Office Communication Server (OCS) and Communicator 2007
recently released support IPv6. No documents on Microsoft mentions about it.

Thanks,

Hello,
Apologies but this is a difficult question to answer without appearing
obnoxious or arrogant - I mean to b neither ....

I believe I understand your question, and the requirement; but the question
is "has your infrastructural architecuture been enabled wholely for IPv6 ?"

If you have a pure IPv6 infrastructure then because both Office Communicator
and Office Communications Server 2007 are applications which will address the
architecture via the relevant API within the OSI model they should support
IPv6

Because Office Communicator and Office Communications Server are
applications which will utilise the transport mechanism which is presented by
the host architecture then there should be no problem with addressing either
IP version, especially as FQDN is used.

Hopefully this helps

Are you sure?

I know that Exchange 2007 RTM did not support IPv6, although that is
remedied in SP1. I did not think OCS bound to the IPv6 side of the
house. But I could be wrong. I certainly do not recall hearing any thing
like "we support IPv6" in any of the recent discussions, including last
week's Ignite Voice.

I'd be grateful for a citation or a definitive product team comment.

Thomas,
As I understand it, IPv6 is not supported generically - this we know and
understand; however, if you have an IPv6 infrastructure then FQDN should
resolve in exactly the same way in which it will with IPv4 - you need to
ensure that the Quad-A records have been created correctly ...

The major problem is that many organisations have not yet implemented IPv6,
although they do have plans within their architectural development. Looking
at the industry, many people are looking at the fact that Vista \ Server 2008
will provide the support for IPv6, but in reality it will be 5 years before
this begins to be accepted as the defact standard.

Grateful for your thoughts

Same question for IPv6 dual stack support in wave 14?

OCS Wave 14 has not been released yet in any public form. There's no
information on this point in the MS forums etc. Anyone who knows for
certain will be under a strict NDA.

Ask again in a few weeks time - a public beta is meant to be out soon.
