You cannot manually change your status from "Away" in Communicator 2007 when you use a portable computer to connect to a remote computer

SYMPTOMS

When you use a portable computer to connect to a remote computer, you cannot manually change your status in Microsoft Office Communicator 2007. The status of Communicator 2007 appears as "Away."

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Communicator 2007 assumes that the remote session is locked even if the remote session is unlocked. Therefore, Communicator 2007 ignores status changes.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, install the Communicator 2007 hotfix package that is dated March 28, 2008.

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other.
