If you've installed Office Communication Server 2007 on a machine running Windows Server 2003 x64, you will probably not see the Communications tab in Active Directory Users & Computers or dsa.msc. You also find the Communications server options missing when you right click on the user account.
This is because you are opening the 64-bit MMC snap-in for Active Directory Users & Computers (which is default) instead of the 32-bit MMC snap-in.
To open the 32-bit MMC snap for ADUC, go to Start --> Run and type
dsa.msc -32
The Communications tab should now be available and you can right-click on the users to get the Enable users for Communications Server option and more.

Geee! I would NEVER have thought of that one. Your blogpost saved my day... Incredible! Thanks!!
Great post. What a stupid problem.. you might have thought that there might be compatibility between 32 & 64 bit windows
I am not getting the Communications tab even after starting in the 32 bit mode as explained above. What else needs to be done in this case ?
