Re: How does windows messenger find out the location of the LCS?

Greetings Mukund,

Partly. It queries the DNS server for SRV records to actually find the actual LCS server and
then connects to it. Whomever set up the LCS server would've done this.

I have a windows messaging client that connects to aLive communications
server using SIP. It conencts fine. I would like to know how windows
messenger finds out the location (IP address) of the LCS just with my
sign-in name. I have not configured the name of the server in
messenger. Does it use the sip uri to find out what the address of the
LCS is?

Thanks,
Mukund
