I think 3.x was the same way with regards to moving objects in the same
OU, but he moved the OU it self around...he had created nice
compartments for everyghing (Users OU with all our sites in their own
OU's under it) He even created a Misc OU with sub OU's ..1 for Each
project..and one called "Phone" in there was the Cisco stuff...he even
renamed the Cisco OU's to say "Cisco Voice Mail Container"   It was nice
and Purdy. But Unity didn't have a clue where anything was.....That was
not a fun evening :)

Unity 4.X per the documentation shows that if you move objects in the
same OU it works fine and I have done this successfully. But he wants to
move objects all around and I said no for now, until we can come to an
agreement as to what the endgame is. I wish AD was more Cisco friendly
with CCM and Unity. Ideally if CCM and Unity could take a snapshot of AD
when everything is setup and then when objects are moved it would merely
reference that table it would be so much easier.

 I am not sure what it will do in Unity 4.x but in 3.x it wreaks merry
havoc.  At my last job they had hired a newbie AD administrator to help
me and my coworker out with the workload and he decided to "Clean Up" AD
since our tree structure didn't match what M$ showed him in the books he
read...Moved our Cisco OU and all the objects around(Even deleted a
few).  All of a sudden noone can access the corp directory, we couldn't
add VM Boxes. And many people couldn't get/receive VM's  ...Took me
hours to get it all put back together again.  We then had a little
"Chat" with this newbie....:) he wont make that mistake again!!!

We have digital networking and license pooling working great. The
problem I am running into is explaining to the AD administrator that he
can't go moving the object IDs around or renaming them; because I don't
know the effect it will have on Unity's performance.
