COBRAS Import for Unity Connection 8.5 and Subscriber LDAP Integration Status

Using COBRAS Import for Unity Connection 1.1 Build 212 with Unity 4.2 Voicemail Only and Connection 8.5(1)SU1 with LDAP Directory Integration
When I run COBRAS the old alias matches the new alias and my desire is for subscribers being moved to be LDAP inegrated. However after COBRAS runs, the radio box for LDAP Integration Status on the subscriber is set to Do Not Integrate with LDAP Directory. Is there a way for COBRAS to select Integrate with LDAP Directory when the alias matches on LDAP?

Hi ben,
If you are just importing from and not authenticating against LDAP, then the PIN comes
from the Connection Template you used to build the users;
Note that no passwords or PINs are copied from the LDAP directory to the Connection database. If
you want Connection users to authenticate against the LDAP directory, see the “LDAP
Authentication” section on page 9-7.

Automating user creation for Unity Connection when sync'd with LDAP

Hi
Is it possible to automatically create users that sync with unity connection?
I have a unity connection 7.0 server that is sync'd with LDAP and i use a ldap filter so that only users with a specific attribute are sync'd. I can see the users when i try to do an import but is there anyway that they can automatically be created

No
Check this check box so that Cisco Unity Connection gets basic information on Connection users from the LDAP directories that you specify on the LDAP Directory page. Data is synchronized only for the Connection users that you created by importing users from the LDAP directory. Connection does not automatically create new Connection users when new users are added to the LDAP directory.

Single Inbox Issue with Unity Connection 8.5 and Exchange 2003

Hello Unity Gurus,
I recently upgraded our Unity server to Unity Conenction 8.5. We are pressing hard to have unified messaging. However theres always problems it seems.
We have several 2003 exchange servers, two of the exchange servers split up our organization and one has half of the users mailboxes and the other server has the remaining half. So far the only way that I can get Unified messaging is if I create two separate Unified Messaging Services one for one half, the other for the other half.
This becomes a problem since now when I create the Unified Message account I have to know what server the user is on and the problem being is that I have 700 voicemail users ill have to look up. Not only that but, if our employees move from one site to the next and if the mailbox gets moved then I imagine most likely break unified messaging for that account.
I've read the install guide for Unity connection Unified Messaging and I understand that the second option is to have Connection to search for Exchange servers via Active Directory however, when I set that up and test it via unified messaging services I get an error " searching network...failed to locate domain controller via DNS. Failed to locate an exchange 2003 server."
DNS seems to work if I create single Unified Messaging Service and use the host name that way.
Anyone have any thoughts or found a work around to this issue?
Thanks,
Dan

We have 41 exchange UM services configured in Unity Connection on 10 clusters, each one to the 2003 exchange servers. This is the only way it will work for us, as e2k3 can not search for and find other exchange services. For 2010, it is able to search by AD domain and site name, and we only have one connector configured on each server to the e2k10 environment. I believe this is the way it works, and is difficult to manage but works. Just my two cents.

/RestoreRoutingRule CLI for Unity Connection

I am consolidating several unity 7.2 servers into Unity Connection 8.5.
I have hundreds of routing rules which are in use today which I need to recreate on the Unity Connection server. I read in the COBRAs help that I can run the CLI /RestoreRoutingRules to restore the routing rules which is what I would like to test.
In the COBRAS tool, I can not modify the path name of the backup to include the /RestoreRoutingRules so am just wondering how I do this? If someone can provide a reference or direction on where / how I do this, it would be most helpful.
Thanks.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by " I can not modify the path name of the backup " - you don't need to - when you run the COBRASImportForConnection.exe, you pass the "/RestoreRoutingRules" option on the command line. So in other words you can open a command box on your Windows machine where you installed import, go to the directory where you installed it (by default C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\COBRAS\COBRAS Import for Connection\) and run the tool like this:
COBRASImportForConnection /RestoreRoutingRules
it'll then offer you the option to include routing rules in your restore (a seperate wizard page will be displayed during the import for this).
You can also add the CLI option via the desktop shortcut if you'd rather but I usually just open a command box for such things.

COBRAS Export for Unity

I have upgraded my COBRAS Export for Unity to 7.o build 120 over the weekend and ran a backup on 2 different fail over pairs. In preparation to import the users to Connections 8.6.
When I use COBRAS Database Viewer to remap the alias it will bring in all the users and when I Apply the changes it get hung and just stops responding.
Has anyone else seen this? Do I need to back down a version of the export tool?

the version of export will have no impact - the Access database file remains the same across all versions for all platforms regardless and this is all that matters to the viewer tool, so that's not a productive avenue.
I'd need to see your backup and/or CSV file to speculate further - not much I can do with "it doesn't work". I just tried some backups I have lying around here and updating the extension and alias via CSV worked ok so presumably something in a name/alias string is likely not being escaped properly (i.e. a special character burning it) or the like but it's hard to say without some more details to work with.

Licensing for Unity Connection after Upgrade from 8.5 to 9.1.2

I upgraded my Unity connection from 8.5.1 to 9.1.2. ( my CUCM is still on 8.5.1) . I have 200 CUWL-STD ( 2200 DLUs), and 50 CUWL-PRO (850 DLUs) . Now I am working with Cisco to get a license file for Unity Connection and apply that to my ELM. I attached my licensing page for when I was in 8.5.1 . Just want to make sure if I will be getting enough license with that license file, or possibly I need to buy more. Someone told me that if I want to have users with mailbox I need to order more licenses since every user take one CUWL license.
Honestly i do not know how CUWL licensing work regardig to Unity or even CUCM.
Thanks,

Cisco Unity Connection 8.X and Cisco UCS

Hi
We are in a planning phase for Unity Connection 8.X on Cisco UCS C-Series. The Cisco Unified Communications SRND 8.0 states that requires reserving one physical core per physical server.
what does it really mean?

See sample depiction below of applications and physical core usage on a server with 2 CPUs and 8 total physical cores. In white is the reservation of one physical core.

Unity Connection 8.5 alias to ldap username mismatch

Hello,
Can someone help me to determine the correct way to integrate LDAP into CUC after mailboxes have already been created from end users in CUCM especially when the ldap user ID and the CUC alias do not match?
From the cisco guide:
For every Cisco Unity Connection user that you want to integrate with an LDAP user, if the value of the Connection Alias field does not match the value of the LDAP user ID, use Cisco Unity Connection Administration to update the Connection alias so that they do match.
Does this mean that I can change the CUC alias for a voicemail user before doing the ldap integration with no impact to the end user?

Hi Ricardo,
Yes, you can change the alias at any point without
impacting the end user We have to do it all the time
when people get married etc.
Cheers!

BULK Greeting Change in Unity Connection 8.6 and higher

In Cisco Unity Connection can you have the same voicemail greeting on 330 different voice mail boxes? These are for stores and if the store main number is busy or not answered it will got to voicemail
Each of the voicemail box then emails the voicemail as attachment to voicemail box owner?

Hi Anirudh,
I am not clear on what you mean by this sentence:
Each extension in the 330 sites will be unique and the same extension can be used for the user on Unity - a total of 330 users on Unity.
The Callflow we need looks like this.
Call from PSTN to SITEA---> CFAtoVM --> Plays Standard Greeting ---MWI for PhoneA at SITEA Turns on
Call from PSTN to SITEB---> CFAtoVM --> Plays Standard Greeting ---MWI for PhoneB at SITEB Turns on

Cisco Unity Connection single inbox and viewmail error

Unity Connection 8.5.1 single inbox with Exchange 2010 and viewmail 8.5.4. We arein the process of migrating from Unity 7.0.2 to Unity Connection.
We are a lawfirm and many of our admins have full access to their attorney's exchange mailbox to manage their messages and voicemails. With Connection those admins can no longer access voicemails in exchange accounts other than their own even if they have full access.
A message pops up stating "the requested voice message is no longer available" and only dead air is played whether playback via phone or speakers is selected. This is a huge issue for our end users.
Has anyone else experienced this or hav eany suggestions for a work around?
I have tried assigning the mailbox access delegation role to an end user but this did not grant access via vewmail.
Thanks
Liz

Hi Liz,
This is expected behavior because VMO has certain dependencies mapped between users and messages, so when a different user tries to access the message, it can't find the mapping which is why you receive that message. However, VMO 8.6(4) introduced the ability for this exact group mailbox access feature you're after.

Single Inbox on Unity Connection 8.5 and Exchange 2003 SP2

Hi,
We have Unity Connection 8.5 (with SU2) and Exchange 2003 SP2
We want to setup the Single Inbox feature that works well with Exchange 2007 and 2010, but my customer is running Exchange 2003 SP2.
We met all of the requirements outlined in: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/requirements/8xcucsysreqs.html#wp459928
I configure a new "Unified Messaging Services" profile for Exchange using Exchange 2003 and enabled for Single Inbox. When I run "Test" it displays the following errors (other validation is successfully)
The service port for IMAP is not functioning.
The system failed to connect to the server with a socket connection through port beatles.clubone.com:993. The error is error:0200206F:system library:connect:Connection refused. Refer to the tomcat log file for more details. If you are using secure connection, confirm that SSL is enabled on the server.
Why is it trying to connect using IMAP, that wasn't the case when I used for Exchange 2007 or 2010 when IMAP was not enabled.
Is there something else I'm missing for configuration with Unity Connection to support Single Inbox with Exchange 2003 SP2?
Thank you!

Unity Connection 8.x and Novell GroupWise IMAP client.

Hi,
Unity Connection 8.x clusters, the customer is using Novell Groupwise for email message store. We would like to setup GroupWise IMAP for them.
However one of the customer's restrictions is that they locked down the end-users computers so that Unity Connection message can not be downloaded into end-user's local PC.
I understand that on Unity Connection COS we can setup the option end-user can only access message header, but they have to dial-in the main-pilot number to retrieve message or use web-inbox tool.
(1) Is there any way for us to setup the IMAP, so that end-user retrieve message while the message is still in centralized Unity Connection server?
(2) If option (1) is not possible, can we setup the message folder of IMAP client to a network shared drive such as H, M drive instead of default local drive?
(3) Any other solution or workaround?
Thanks,
JJ

I need a fix for this bug but don't see any of the following versions available under Unity Connection download page. The current release I am having is 8.0.3 ES22 and would like to stay on 8.0.3 release.
Fixed-In
8.5(1.0)ES17
8.6(0.99981.1)
8.0(3)ES25
8.0(3.23028.1)
8.6(0.18)
8.6(0.96000.132)
8.6(0.96000.53
Can someone clarify when the next full version 8.0(3.23028.1) would be available for download on CCO? Or can recommend any other version available on CCO which has a fix for this bug. I checked the release notets of available versions, couldn't see it fixed in any of them.

Wildcard Certifiate support for Unity Connection

Does Unity Connection started supporting Wildcard cerficates for the Unified messaging with Exchange integration?
CUPS 8.6.4 started supporting it for Calendar integration but we are not getting any document related to Unity Connection which states its supported now.
BR,
Sachin

Hi,
Thanks for the question.
Okay so I did some digging and found a few details that will help clear this up.
1. The documentation is wrong and we will be getting it correct as soon as we can. The CUC 9 admin guides states that you need to create an 'External Service' however this configuration has been changed.
2. Yes, Exch 2010 and I'm sure Exch 2013 will be supported. TTS uses IMAP for the connection method and as long as Exch permits IMAP traffic you're good.
3. To configure TTS, of course enable IMAP for Exchange. On the CUC side, you'll need to start with the class of service and check the following "Allow Access to Exchange Email by Using Text to Speech (TTS)". Then you'll need to create a new unified messaging service where you add the details of the Exch server and make sure to check "
Access Exchange Email by Using Text to Speech (TTS)". Then apply that UM service to an end user and test. FYI, when you check the message from the TUI it will be the option of external messages (default option 7).
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Good Luck,
Brad
