[cisco-voip] Cisco Jabber for Windows - EDS directory causing DC to run at 100%

[Dana Tong]

FYI.

The AD forest needs to be indexed for the attributes "telephoneNumber", "mobile", etc that Jabber is searching.

Hi all,

In all of my recent installations of CUPS / CU IM&P I have always used AD Integration and LDAP for directory services.
(ie EDS for directory).

Usually it's fine. However this time, we go live and the Jabber 4 Windows directory lookups / authentication causes the customer DC (Windows Server 2003 R2) to flatline at 100% causing issues with slow lookups (6 - 60 seconds) and other login issues.

Weird. This is the first time I've seen this. They are running CU IM&P 9.1(x) and Jabber for Windows 9.1(5). [not 9.2]

The work-around was to change the directory integration to UDS.

Is there any reason not to continue with UDS?
Is there any reason why LDAP caused their servers to fail?

Cheers
Dana
