NetMeeting Client Cannot Connect to the Dynamic Directory

ID: Q195385

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Site Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

After you install Site Server, the NetMeeting client cannot connect to the Dynamic Directory.


RESOLUTION

Set the LDAP port to 389 and enable NetMeeting support.


MORE INFORMATION

The best approach to this problem is to create a new Membership instance and set the TCP Port to 389. This port can be specified during the Membership Creation Wizard:

  1. In the Site Server Microsoft Management Console (MMC), select the Personalization and Membership (P&M) snap-in.


  2. Select New.


  3. In the Site Server MMC, select the P&M snap-in.


  4. Right-click the LDAP instance.


  5. Click the Dynamic Directory tab.


  6. Select the "Enable NetMeeting 1.0 Support" to enable it, and then click OK.


NOTE: There is no change on the NetMeeting client itself.

Changing an existing Membership instance:
  1. In the Site Server MMC, select the P&M snap-in.


  2. Right-click the Membership instance.


  3. Change the TCP Port to 389 and click OK.


  4. Right-click the LDAP instance.


  5. Change the TCP Port to 389.


  6. Click the Dynamic Directory tab.


  7. Select the "Enable NetMeeting 1.0 Support" to enable it, and then click OK.


  8. Right-click the Direct Mailer.


  9. Change the TCP Port to 389 and click OK.


The ADS path and Schema Class Object path of the AUO Provider (for example, LDAP://servername:port/o=directoryname/ou=admin/cn=schema/cn=member) using this service must be changed as well to reflect the new port setting.
