"Specifies how Microsoft Office Communicator identifies the transport and server.  If you enable this policy setting, you must specify the transport and either the server name or the server IP address that Microsoft Office Communicator uses.  If you disable this policy setting, Microsoft Office Communicator uses a DNS lookup to identify the transport and the server.  If you do not configure this policy setting, the user can choose automatic configuration, or the user can specify the transport and either the name or the IP address of the server in Microsoft Office Communicator user preferences. To set the user preferences, from the Microsoft Office Communicator Tools menu, click Options, click the Personal tab, within the SIP Communications My Account area click Advanced, select Configure Settings, type the server name or IP address in Server name or IP address, and then select a transport.  Note: You can configure this policy setting under both Computer Configuration and User Configuration, but the policy setting under Computer Configuration takes precedence."
