I am probably one of the few that didn't realize this feature was available in Communicator 2007 R2 but I wanted to share it anyways :-)

Administrators, users and troubleshooters value the possibility in Outlook 2007 to get status about the connections: by holding the ctrl key while right clicking the Outlook icon in the notification area and choosing “Connection Status”. With the new R2 version of the client, Microsoft introduces a similar dialog for Office Communicator 2007 R2. Hold Ctrl while right clicking the OC 2007 R2 icon in the notification area, choose “Configuration Information…” and it will open the following screen:

The values listed in this screen are retrieved during login by inband provisioning from the server and/or set by group policy. While you could read all this information from the Office Communicator logs and the registry, the dialog presents them in a easy to read manner and might be a good starting point for troubleshooting.
