Cause:    Office Communicator 2007 does not recognize the address of the person you are trying to contact to start an IM session.

You cannot conduct instant messaging sessions with users who do not meet this criteria.

Resolution:     You can find more information about adding federated or public IM contacts in the Frequently Asked Questions article. Note that federation and public IM connectivity must be set up in your company before you can conduct IM sessions with federated or public IM contacts.
