[cisco-voip] Has Anyone Successfully Moved Unity Mailboxes with the Global Subscriber Manager?

[Zahrt, Frank]

We attempted the GSM subscriber move between Unity servers and TAC could not get it working for us.

The final solution was COBRAS, which is an amazing tool for moving users between servers of different Unity versions. It'll move their passwords and voice prompts, so its' transparent to the end users. I also use it nightly to back up all my users as well, to enable them to be restored individually if the need arises.

I have done this recently in a similar circumstance. It worked with no problems. We did not want to recreate the unity accounts as the recorded name, etc. would then have to be recreated. I was on unity 5.

We are looking to see if we can move about 30 Unity boxes from a server in one office (DC) to another (AZ); the Unity moves would take place after the Exchange accounts move to the same location.  Both Unity servers are in the same domain.  I have been told by a TAC engineer that we can't do this; he says it would be better to move the Exchange boxes and then delete the Unity boxes from one server and program onto another.  Any thoughts?
