[cisco-voip] Unity UM - installed domain deleted

[Ryan West]

BTW.. This worked great, the only item that did not restore properly were the call handlers that were attached non-existent (in the new domain) PDLs.  Those required manual intervention.  Thanks for the suggestions!

Has anyone used Cobras?  I used it to back up their current settings, I just want to make sure it's the right tool before I insert the platform DVDs and start over again.

DCGC Reconnect is used to point Unity to a new DC or GC in the same
domain, it cannot be used to change domains.

The only reliable way you're going to get Unity into a new domain is a
reinstall.
