[cisco-voip] Question about moving unity users between servers

[Pat Hayes]

I believe it will handle it just like a DiRT restore, if it finds the user
already exists and is assigned to another Unity server, it writes out the
info for the new Unity server on the user's account in AD and imports them
into the new server.

...of course, it should be easy enough to test this to find out :-)
