[cisco-voip] Unity restore question

[Chris Soechting]

Have you tried running DBWalker on the unity box? It should report all
the subscribers missing AD accounts.

Looks like this isnt possible currently.. I actually ran across a post
on netpro forums this afternoon from Jeff Lindborg basically saying they
tried putting this sort of thing into DiRT and it was a support
nightmare so they discontinued it. 

The next challenge i have is identifying exactly which AD accounts got
blasted before the user's start calling them in themselves. we have
found a sort of round-a-bout way to do it but I was wondering if Unity
keeps track of accounts it drops from the database when they disappear
from AD? I'm not sure if that would be a log and where I could find it.
Any ideas?

Sorry Ed. I tried this out on my lab unity server and it didn't work.
Once I had deleted an AD account it automatically removed it from the
unitydb. I have used this procedure in the past when I deleted eadmin
and it worked though.

 

I guess, you could first create the userID that was deleted without
mbox, connect this userID with mbax that was marked for deletion and
than from unity just import this user. Unfortunately they'll need to go
through the enrolment again.

Anyone know if there is a tool or process somewhere that you can restore
specific Unity user accounts from DiRT backup without doing a complete
restore? Had AD munch a few accounts last night (or rather someone's
script did), the accounts disappeared so Unity dropped its associated
user accounts. I would like to restore them so they dont have to go
through enrollment again if I can. Their exchange mailboxes were
untouched at least so they didnt lose any messages. 

Thanks!
