[cisco-voip] CCM 4.2 w/ Unity 4.0 AD integration and directory services.

[Mac GroupStudy]

As a complement to Ryans post, the CCMAdministrator account is referred to
as an "Application" user as opposed to an "End" user in CUCM 5X and higher.
That means that even if AD is unreachable I can still manage the system via
the CCMAdministrator account. Also, this CCMAdministrator account is not
just there by default but is what most integrators use when they first setup
CUCM 5 and higher. They probably do this more from a comfort perspective
than a have to. From what I barely remember from the 4X days when we enabled
MLA I think that forced us to use CCMAdministrator or our own userID. Again,
it has been a while for me dealing with 4X.
