[cisco-voip] CUC and AD integration

[Philip Walenta]

CUCM linking to AD is a read-only function (CUCM reads several attributes
from AD, changes nothing).   It is a pretty easy integration and I'd
recommend doing it from the start.  Only thing to be careful of is that once
integrated CUCM needs to see a phone number in AD, otherwise the CUCM
directory will be empty.  The other thing is that AD sync at a minimum of
every 6 hours.  Rush adds require you to re-sycn the direcoty and I know
this does impose some penalty on the publisher.

 

I've not worked with Unity Connections much, but I know there was a schema
update that Unity required be run on AD.  I do not know if UC requires the
same.

Is it a big deal to integrate UCM with AD? Because I'm in the voice team,
then there's the "windows" team which manages the AD and then, there's the
"security" team, which are very very very afraid of anything that might talk
to the AD. So if I want to integrate with AD, I have to justify and prove
without a doubt to the security team, that my voice system won't be messing
around with the AD. Like I said, I'm in voice, so I don't know anything
about the AD.

 

Also, what if I integrate UC with the AD, let say in a few months, will it
have a big impact on the users? Am I better to do it right now from the
start ?

 

Thanks.

Sandy.

You can setup Connection to look at UCM or an external LDAP or use an
internal directory. 

 

If you didn't know the products we were talking about why did you chime in
with an opinion?
