<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=973332311-18042005>For the past 18
Months we have been running our Call Manager cluster integrated with Microsoft
Active Directory instead of using the inbuilt DC-directory on the call managers.
Recently due to expansion of our Active Directory we have been experiencing
problems with Extension Mobility login failures.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=973332311-18042005>When running the
Customer Directory configuration plugin we specified the FQDN instead of
specifing a particular DC Server. This then enables us to leverage of the
builtin AD redundancy that we already have in place. The theory behind this is
that the quickest DC server will respond to a new request when a user attempts
Extension Mobility login. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=973332311-18042005>What I would like to
know is whether ther is a way we can monitor which server responds to the
request when a extension mobility request is made. I am aware that there is a
log file kept in the c:\program files\cisco\trace\culs but this does not show
any real detail as to which server has responded to the request.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=973332311-18042005>The reson behind
this is that we have had on two recent occasions instances where a DC servers
located in a our main site have gone offline. The AD redundancy should kick in
and start to accept login request from ofher DC servers located in other sites.
This has proven so far as to not be the case therefore not allowing any users to
login to the phone using extension Mobilty and and error is presentd on the
phone error [6] which points to a directory services error. I need to
confirm whether the directory integration where by specifying the full FQDN is
working. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
