Ok, So I have the basics up and running, but is it working? Aperantly, yes.
Front end and backend now run without errormessages, and I can chat, call and use livemeeting on all the clients.

I decided not spend to much time on running around, installing applications, so I am using AD Group policies to deploy the applications. Here is a quick rundown of what I did:

  • Convert exe files to .msi files by running "LMsetup.exe -out c:\temp" (presuming c:\temp exists)

  • Create Groups for filtering of the GPO
  • Add objects to the groups
  • Remove "authenticated users" from the filtering, add the desired group.
Attendant:
The attendant setup file I downloaded was already a .msi file, so no conversion was needed. Other than that, just repeat the steps from above.
