Bulk Administration - Directory Number Voicemail Profile

I am tryingg to figure out a way to bulk change the voicemail profile for a random sampling of extensions in Cisco Unified Communications Manager version 8.5. I know you can do this if there is some sort of unifiing feature between the extensions like Route Pattern, Line Description, CSS, etc. but I don't have that unifing feature because they are truly random.
I tried doing a phone update from custom file (extensions) and then changing the CSS(Phone) to something unique to the phones that I want to update the lines on. I then went to Phones > Add/Update Lines and queried that CSS(Phone) that I changed those phones to. But, when I do that if some of the phones had multiple extensions on them those extensions show up as well in the query...
Is there a better way to update the voicemail profile on just the extensions that I want to do it on?
Background:
We are moving to a differnent voicemail system but we have to do it in batches. Due to the fact that we are cutting over departments so I will only have the extension available to me to do the update.

Thats an interesting approach but I think I accompish the same thing with the method I was using with changing the CSS(Phone) to something unique.
What I am not seeing is a way to update the extensions voicemail profile from a custom file. Which would be way easier. I have been racking my brain to why that feature isn't in Bulk Administration...
Your other method is so tedious, especially due to the fact that each group will be 200-300 phones.. Any other insight? I think the best way might be to just do it the way I was thinking and copy out the full extension list obtained before I run the update line job from the phones obtained through the Update Phones from Custom File query then do a diff on the original file of extensions and the new list then go back and change those phone lines back (there shouldn't be a whole lot of multi-line setups). Still a bit tedious but maybe less so then that other method.
Please let me know if I am missing something though.

Unsubscribe IP service with Bulk Administration Tool

I can subscribe IP service to IP Phone with Bulk Administration Tool, but how to unsubscribe IP service form 1000 IP phones. I cant delete IP service, because IP service is subscribe to User Device Profile. CCM version is 3.3.3.

BAT doesn't have a feature to unsubscribe/delete IP
services. It is not on the roadmap either.

Unity Bulk Administration Tool update

I just ran the 10/30/06 update of the Cisco Bulk Administration Tool from http://www.cicsounitytools.com. BAT no longer works. The browser comes up with a blank (white) page....It looks like I ran the CUC version of the tool update. Any suggestions that will keep me from tearing apart the Unity box?

Hi Mike,
Have you tried using Bulk Edit (with .csv)?
User with Voicemail > Users referenced in this CSV file > Next
Here's a clip that speaks to how this is run now. You first search and select all
the users you want to change and then choose Bulk Edit;
To Edit User Account Information in Bulk Edit Mode (some editing from original this example
is for Caller Input settings but you'll see the point)
Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, on the Search Users page, check the applicable user check boxes, and select Bulk Edit.
If the user accounts that you want to edit in bulk do not all appear on one Search page, check all applicable check boxes on the first page, then go to the next page and check all applicable check boxes, and so on, until you have selected all applicable users. Then select Bulk Edit.
Step 2 On the Edit Caller Input page, change settings as applicable.
Note The Status message at the top of the Edit Caller Input page tells you how many user accounts are being edited. Also note that the page is populated only with the fields that you are allowed to edit in bulk mode, and that the fields available for edit also depend on whether all of the user accounts reside on the local server.
Step 3 If applicable, set the Bulk Edit Task Scheduling Fields to schedule the Bulk Edit operation for a later date and/or time.
Step 4 Select Submit.
Step 5 If applicable, continue to change settings for these user accounts on the related pages available from the Edit menu. As you make changes on each page, select Submit before going on to the next page to make additional changes.

Try a couple of test users first to come up with the exact plan.
Cheers!

Bulk Administration Tool for VG224

Is there a way to bulk import VG224's into CallManger 4.1(3). I have about 75 VG224's and must assign a directory number for each. I've tried VGC,and Virtual VGC templates that end up with a VG248 config. Any ideas would be great for the VG224. Thanks.

Directory Number Issue

I have setup a 7941 IP phone and I have two lines.The first DN works fine and is able to dial and receive both internal and external calls but the second one can only receive internal calls
Any ideas what might be causing the second DN not to receive External calls?

Hi Alistair,
Then maybe we could use this method to completely remove this second DN before trying again. Remove this DN from all phones first;
Can you please try this method via the Route Plan Report;
Deleting Unassigned Directory Numbers
This section describes how to delete an unassigned directory number from the route plan report. Directory numbers get configured and removed in the Directory Number Configuration window of Cisco CallManager Administration. When a directory number gets removed from a device or a phone gets deleted, the directory number still exists in the Cisco CallManager database. To delete the directory number from the database, use the Route Plan Report window.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Route Plan > Route Plan Report.
The Route Plan Report window displays. Use the three drop-down list boxes to specify a route plan report that lists all unassigned DNs.
Step 2 Three ways exist to delete directory numbers:
a. Click the directory number that you want to delete. When the Directory Number Configuration window displays, click Delete.
b. Check the check box next to the directory number that you want to delete. Click Delete Selected.
c. To delete all found unassigned directory numbers, click Delete all Found Items.
A warning message verifies that you want to delete the directory number.
Step 3 To delete the directory number, click OK. To cancel the delete request, click Cancel.

Sharepoint 2013 - Active Directory Import User Profile Property manager fields

Hi there,
I juste encountered actually a little issue regarding the Active Directory Import User Profil.
Importation seems to work well but I have a little problem regarding the Manager field.
When I verify a user profil through the sharepoint admin page ("Manage user profil") , I can see the manager field is correctly populated, but if I want to check my profil as a user (personal information), the manager field is not visible.
With Sharepoint Admin and Manage Profil Properties, I haven't the possibility to modify some settings for the manager.
For example, Policy parameters is greyed.
The only way I found to show this field in a user profil is to give the permission "allow users to Edit values ...".... setting I don't want to set.
Have you already this sort of issue ?
Thanks for your help/idea.

Hi Michael,
I don't remember well what I did exactly regarding this issue because I played a lot with user profil.
I know I used this powershell script from Sheyia which in fact help me a lot to clean and create a good profil setting.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sheyia/archive/2013/10/09/sharepoint-2013-another-way-to-change-order-for-user-profile-properties-via-powershell.aspx
For example, this script help me to resolve some double entries.
Let-me know if it help you (or not of course)

Looking for and SQL query to match CTI OS agent login ID with the Directory Number (instrument)

Hi All,
I am looking for an SQL query to request the HDS database to find out which Directory Number / instrument was associated with a specific CTI OS agent login ID.
Has anyone done such a query before ?
Thanks and Regards
Nick

Hi,
this should work in 8.0 and 8.5:
SELECT
ag.PeripheralNumber AS [LoginID],
al.Extension,
al.LogoutDateTime
FROM [instance]_hds.dbo.Agent_Logout al
JOIN [instance]_awdb.dbo.Agent ag ON al.SkillTargetID = ag.SkillTargetID
Of course, replace [instance] with the ICM instance.
The query returns a table with three columns, first is the login ID aka PeripheralNumber, Extension is... well, the agent's extension, and LogoutDateTime is the timestamp when the agent logged out.

Lync 2010 phone not available when users have two Directory Number Associations in CUCM

Hello everyone,
We currently have a little issue with our LYNC 2010 to Cisco UC Integration (CUCM 8.5.1), I’m wondering if someone can shed some light please.
There are some users in our organisation having two Directory Number Associations in CUCM (Primary Extension for work number and IPCC Extension for team number), which result them not be able to dial out from Lync. For these users, it appears the Cisco phone
is not available in Lync.
I tried to disable the team number from them, and after reboot, the Cisco phone came back available and dialing out from Lync was enabled.
Is there any workaround for this issue? Thank you in advance.
Shawn

As far as Lync concern lync only do a number translation and send the call to cisco for reaching the destination.So you have to check how the call split is configured for users with respect to the team number and Extension.So in this case you need to have
2 different dial pattern to cisco based on how they accept the calls.
One pattern will translate the Primary extension number to the format cisco accept
Second pattern to translate the Team extension number to the format cisco accept.

Receiving calls from an ex-directory number

Hi there,
A friend of mine has an ex-directory number. Every time she tries to ring my land line she is unable to get phone to ring. Any body any ideas. I've tried referencing ex-directory, call barring etc. but no luck.

Hi and welcome
Do you have trouble receiving calls from other people or is it just this one person?
Do they have any troubles calling anyone else?
It is possible that if the other person is with another line provider (sky?) there are known problems that will not allow certain numbers to be rung between different suppliers.

Assigning authorization code to a directory number

Hello,
I have a challenge and i will like your assistance.
I have been aske to assign the individual force authorization code to the users' directory number, how possible is it? If possible how can it be done. I have a the CUCM version 7.1.5.....
Thanks and regards

FACs are forced on route patterns and not DNs. FACs are the build individually and not assigned to specific user and anyone who knows them can use them. What is the purpose for assigning them to DNs?

Using Bulk Administration to remove services?

I know I can add phones services using bulk administration and a phone template. How would I go about removing IP phone services using bulk administration? I have tried to remove the services from the template I used to put the services in place, then run the bulk admin tool and the services were still on the IP phones even though the updated template is not subscribed. Can anyone help me with what I am missing here? Any assistance would be great!
Rgds,
Vicky

It also seems not possible to modify services with BAT.
So is there an easy way to remove an IP Service from multiple phones ?
I added a service with incorrect parameters and need to delete the service and re-add it.

Directory Number

Hello,
I have 2 questions below please reply.
I have seen a setup where the directory number are assigned as starting with " * " *5234, *5123,*5432 , why that so ???
CUCM 6.1 is integrated with AD, when i search a user in corporate directory his full number is seen 22221234 but when i press dial button the calls go to last 3 digit extension, how come ????
Thanks

Dear
" so that users wouldn't be able to accidentally dial it or something like that" accidentally dial it means can you elaborate more.
For your second question you may have a Translation Pattern or Transformation Pattern, changing the dialed number or appearance of the dialed number.
there are no transformation number but there are translation number but i am not sure they are doing these job , i will confirm and i will post again.
Thanks

Cisco Unified CM Telephony Trigger Directory number

Hello, is it possible to set Cisco Unified CM Telephony Trigger directory number within UCCX with wildcards, for e.g 3XX and all numbers matching that number, execute connected application. Or is there any other way to execute UCCX application for a range of directory numbers?
What I want to achieve is that, I want to control all outbound calls starting with dedicated prefix with UCCX application.
Thanks

I have used wild card on several ocassions, and get flaky results 50% of the time. I then end up breaking the triggers apart and specifying each one separately.
From what I recall reading, the latest versions of CUCM actually have a parameter now, that enables this feature. You didn't say what version of UCCX and CUCM you are running, so it's possible you need to flip this switch to ON.
