[cisco-voip] Unity in a Windows 2008 R2 domain

[Ed Leatherman]

This came up on the list a bit ago, this was what I found out (copied
from previous post as it was buried a bit):

Unofficially, looks like this is what's causing the problem:

Apparently applying the workaround in the KB article resolved the
problem, however the fix is still unsupported by TAC and there isn't a
likely official supported solution to this from Cisco until after
Unity 8 is released.

We're going to put our DC rollout on hold for a few weeks and possibly
build this scenario in a test environment ourselves and come to a
decision after that. Perhaps in the meantime Unity 8 will be out and
we will get a supported fix soon after.

I think basically if you call in for TAC support and the issue is
related in some way to running on an R2 domain, you're not getting any
sympathy from them. At least until some official fix comes out. There
have been a few people on the list that loaded R2 and didnt have any
particular problems.
