Thanks Ted, We'll keep that in mind. We also found that our primary Unity server and the new secondary server were put in different OU's within AD and are getting different policies pushed at them. We are on the corporate AD, so have to wait till tomorrow to get that fixed. at least we have a few things to look at now along with the workgroup names.
<br><br>Doesn't really give me warm and fuzzy feelings about unity failover. :)<br><br>Ed<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/17/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ted Nugent</b> <<a href="mailto:tednugent69@yahoo.com">

<br>days working on this exact problem about a year ago<br>and it turned out to be an issue with browser service.<br>In our scenario the customer had the CM workgroup name<br>"voice" the same as the Unity domain which was causing
<br>some serious browser election issues! Changing the CM<br>workgroup to "CM" resolved the problem for us. The<br>browser election is certainly your problem but fixing<br>it can be tricky. I can't remember the exact reg
<br>setting but you prevent the servers from contributing<br>in the browser election on all your servers and force<br>just your DCs to be the only servers that can be<br>elected, they should be by default but I find thats
<br>not always the case.<br><br>Also,<br>I hate to say it because I really do like Unity but<br>Unity FO is by far the worst product that Cisco has to<br>offer. I foresee many hours on the phone with TAC in<br>your near future. :-/
