Porting OCS contacts over to Jabber

We are moving from Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 to Cisco Jabber.  The bad news is that we were told that contacts in our OCS will not be migrated to Jabber.  We were asked to re-create our contacts in Jabber.  With 100 over contacts to recreate, I started to look for solution which I can do it at the client’s side but without any luck.

But I do notice that Jabber has the function to import contacts from a XML format specified by Jabber.  Below is the XML format.  More information about the XML structure is explained in http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/vxc/english/vxme/9-3_jabber_adv_fg/VXME_BK_A14F54E9_00_advanced-features-guide-for-cisco-jabber/VXME_BK_A14F54E9_00_advanced-features-guide-for-cisco-jabber_chapter_010.html.

Office Communicator 2007 unable to sign in because of clock not set correctly

One user was having problem trying to sign into his Office Communicator.  He received the following error message when trying to sign in.

Cannot sign into Communicator because your computer clock is not set correctly. To check your computer clock settings, open Date and Time in Windows.

The date, time and time zone was all correctly set.  So what is the cause of it?  The culprit turned out to be the wrong setting of the W32Time synchronization type in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32Time\Parameters registry key.
