[cisco-voip] Directory Integration

[Corbett Enders]

I read something to that effect regarding hiding accounts from the Call
Manager, by setting a custom field entry.
 
I have also noted an issue with regards to Exchange 2000, not sure yet
if it applies to Exchange 2003 (iNetOrgPerson class).
 
Slight twist on my original question:  Have you performed the AD
Integration and regretted it?  Did it break something you were trying to
do elsewhere?  And on the flip side, did anyone not perform the AD
Integration and now wish that you had?
 
Pros:  Single directory (the model everyone pitches, yet not often
used), Simplified Management (AD Users & Computers?)
Cons: Increased dependency on AD domain controllers, possible latency
for some of the call flow (lookups).

I really wish that there was more to offer with AD integration than just
that. perhaps display name for a DN?
 
I also think AD integration gives you centralized PIN.
 
Chris Adams is on the list - Chris, can you remind me of that one
problem you had where you had to populate a different field for
something to work b/c the integration broke it?

	Pros with AD integration.  One username and password.

	 

	Con's: if your AD goes down, no one can log in.

	 

	You're very reliant on a stable AD.  If you have lots of AD
instability, don't integrate.

	 

	Works fine for us.

	Is there a general best practice around integration with Windows
Active Directory?  I'm thinking it is a good idea, but I'm wondering if
anyone has precautions or reasons NOT to use this model?

	Regards, 
	Corbett Enders.
