I would really like someone to help me make sense of all the articles and posts about meeting expiration times and give me a definitive answer.

If your computer is not a member of an AD domain that's trusted by your Office Communications Server 2007 Pool, your Office Communicator 2007 client will not display the option to save the password. You can enable a registry setting to have the OCS client display the checkbox that allows you to save your OCS password. You might wonder why you would ever need to do this, but you never know. I had a need for it since I work at a client and my computer is not a member of their domain. (more…)
