[cisco-voip] Extension Mobility Conversion

[Josh Horton]

Just in case someone else has the same question... 

Configuring EM for everyone in the organization was not as hard as I had
made it out to be. I simply created User device profiles with the same
extension as the user's phone in the same partition (shared line). 

This way, everyone "could" use EM but no one "had" to. 

Here are the steps I used: 
1) Setup Extension Mobility per Cisco instructions 
2) Use Bat to subscribe every phone to Extension Mobility service. 
3) Export existing phones using BAT. 
4) Use data from exported phones to populate user device profile BAT
template. 
5) Import User Device Profiles with BAT.

Can someone point me in the right direction or give me some advice
regarding moving everyone on a CCM system to extension mobility? 

My customer has ~150 phones and they were initially setup without
extension mobility. Now, they want to move everyone in the organization
to EM. 
* Can I export the phones in BAT, modify the CSV file and import back
into the system as User Device Profiles?
* Are there any pitfalls when moving everyone to EM?


Thanks,
