OCS 2007 Outage Communication/Online Broadcasting

Wow it is so easy to send the outage notification now just before few minutes of the outage. You have to shoot lcscmd command from the server and the message will reach all the active users :-), making life simple and technology faster.

Simply go to lcscmd.exe path on command prompt which is generally Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 folder and shoot the command:

LCSCmd /server /action:BroadcastMessage /Role:EE /Message:"The system is going down for maintenance at 7:00 PM PST."

Now make sure if you server is enterprise edition then role would be EE else for standard edition of OCS, it would be SE. Message you can change as per your requirement.
