Office Communicator 2005 use without outlook installed

[jlcarreiro]

Hi, we are attempting to use MOC 2005 on Wyse Thin clients running Windows xpe
The terminals have no office or outlook installed. only word/excel viewer.
We can sign in, see my contacts but their status is unknown. I can start a
conversation with a contact, but when they try to start one with me, it says
I am not signed on.
Any ideas why? I suspect it has something to do with not having outlook
installed.
Note, this is a corporate version of moc2005.
Thanks
Joe C.
