System(s) Affected: Microsoft Office Communicator (OCS) which is your Instant Messaging Service will be offline for up to two hours during the maintenance window.
Expected Impact: For up to two hours during the window, you will not be able to send or receive Instant Messages using OCS. During this time we will be upgrading your OCS service to the latest version, Lync Secure IM. All control panels will be automatically updated to reflect the new services and options. Pricing will NOT change as a result of this upgrade.
Action required: Both the OCS and Communicator client will work before and after the maintenance. Users on different client versions may have difficulty sending files to each other so we recommend updating your entire organization at once. The Lync client will be available for download within your control panel today alongside the OCS client. Users may upgrade to the Lync client before this maintenance but some new features will be inoperable until the maintenance is complete.
