Multiple communities in Sametime 7.5

How nice is this! Now that we are running Sametime 7.5 internally I have configured an additional Sametime community by following the guidelines from Chris Pipin. This means that I now have my uncle from IBM in Denmark in my Sametime client as well. Nice! Only caveat is that you cannot lookup the address of the contact using the “Lookup…” button as you would expect. You have to simply enter the address, check “External address” and click the “Add” button.

There was a caveat for him to add me as well. My IBM id is “lekkim” but he has to append “@dk.ibm.ext” to the IBM id in order for him to find me.

Does anyone know it this means that bloggers can IM each other using the IBM Sametime community? I’m up for the test so feel free to try and add me (lekkim@dk.ibm.ext) to your Sametime client.

Happy IM’ing!!
