[cisco-voip] Pros/Cons of AD Integration - CCM 4.2(3) and IPCCx 4.0Premium

[Voll, Scott]

We are AD 2k3 with CM 4.1.3 and IPCCx 4.0.

 

I really like the single username for everything.  You never have to
worry about usernames.  Things work really well, so long as AD is
working!!!

 

Even with the headaches, I really do like the AD integration.  99% of
the time things are great..... but when the sysadmin decides to move the
Administrator account your leave scratching your head why you did AD,
but all in all, I only regret it about 1% of the time. YMMV

I need some pros and cons for AD integration.  We are in the middle of
an install and have gone down the AD integration path (our choice) with
our vendor.  Things are not playing so nice so far.  First, we want to
point to our DNS group of AD servers for redundancy.  This is covered
the documentation, but we are having problems.  This is not working so
well because there are some bogus IP addresses configured in our DNS
group.  Our network guys are working on that clean-up.  Even when
pointed to our main domain controller, still having problems getting
IPCC to see updates and changes to users.

We chose the AD path as part of plan to move towards single sign-on
across our network.  So far it just seems to be a headache.  I believe
our vendor is going to engage Cisco tomorrow for some direct support on
our issues.  As the Telecom Admin of our company, I don't have a
preference for either directory (AD or DC), as long as it works and is
stable.  I would love some feedback from anyone who has been down the AD
path.  

>From my reading, it does seem that the AD integration to CCM 5.0 is
better than on the 4.x versions.
