[cisco-voip] Cisco Unified Communications and Active Directory

[Ryan West]

Just to build on this, if you already have the full e. 164 number in AD, it's pretty easy to create a script to populate the ipPhone field.  I agree with Jonathan, I think that's the best way to go about doing it.  Users with mobile devices can still do a directory lookup against AD if you separate the two.

Your big thing for AD integration is two fields in AD, telephoneNumber and ipPhone.

I would make sure you populate ipPhone with their 4 (or 5) digit IP Phone extension and populate telephoneNumber with their full e.164.

Then integrate CCM to AD using the ipPhone field.

CCM, Presence, MPX, can integrate (thru CCM) to AD.

Unity UM will integrate to AD and Exchange/Notes (Notes sux).

 I have been asked an interesting question and thought I would pose it to the group:

 "What opportunities exist for the Cisco Unified Communications  environment when presented with a green field Active Directory 2008 implementation".

 Assuming CUCM 6/7, CUPs 6.x, CUPC, and either Unity 7.x or Connections 7.x -  I would hope to see us using a common user directory across all of our  Unified Communications products - Call Manager, Unity/Connections, Unified Office Communicator and Presence. I would also hope that we could use the AD domain for user authentication across these products with single sign on capability.

So what am I missing?

Thanks for any feedback,

Steve
