Customising OCS states
With a registry hack you can now customise the Office Communicator States to add extra states.
Create an XML configuration file to define one or more states
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<customStates xmlns=
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/09/2005/communicator/customStates"
xmlns:xsi=
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation=
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/09/2005/communicator/customStates
http://livecommteam/sites/main/ice/Wave%2012%20Docs/CustomActivities.xsd">
<customState ID="1" availability="online">
<activity LCID="1033">Working from Home</activity>
<activity LCID="1044">activity 2 for 1044</activity>
<activity LCID="1055">activity 3 for 1055</activity>
</customState>
<customState ID="2" availability="busy">
<activity LCID="1033">In a Live Meeting</activity>
<activity LCID="1036">Equivalent French String for - In a
Live Meeting </activity>
</customState>
<customState ID="3" availability="busy">
<activity LCID="1033">Meeting with Customer</activity>
<activity LCID="1055">meeting with client</activity>
<activity LCID="1036">Equivalent French String for - Meeting
with Customer</activity>
</customState>
<customState ID="4" availability="do-not-disturb">
<activity LCID="1033">Interviewing</activity>
</customState>
</customStates>
Use .REG file similar to the following to add the CustomStateURL value to the computer's registry
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Communicator]
@=""
"CustomStateURL"="C:\\Users\\mharriso\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\OCS\\presence.xml"
