How to strip “Remove” the + from all outgoing SIP communication from an OCS Mediation server ?

It might be useful in a Cisco direct SIP environment to automatically strip the + from all outgoing SIP communication from an OCS Mediation server.

To do this, create a text (XML) file called MediationServerSvc.exe.config and place it in the location of the MediationServerSvc.exe file. It should be in the ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007\Mediation Server’ directory. The contents of this file should be:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″ ?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key=”RemovePlusFromRequestURI” value=”Yes”/> </appSettings> </configuration>

Now, you are free to normalize to E.164 without having to worry about your Cisco devices getting confused!
