Question : OCS Federation with Microsoft

Hi Gurus,

       I bought a UCC certificate from Godaddy and we can federate with many other companies except Microsoft.....
       They said they had processed my request. Is it ok to use Godaddy certificate to federate with MS?  Is there any thing special we need to do to Fed with MS?

Error from Validation Edge server:

ms-diagnostics: 1011;reason="Ms-Diagnostics header not provided by previous hop";source="sipedge.domain.com";Domain="microsoft.com";PeerServer="sipfed.microsoft.com"



Thanks!!
       

Answer : OCS Federation with Microsoft

Microsoft only supports direct federation (manually added in their edge server array) and not enhanced federation (automatic discovery) so you need a sponsor at Microsoft to submit a federation request on your behalf.

That sponsor is normally your Microsoft Technical Account Manager (TAM).
