Meeting Place Directories service question
I have just deployed a new Meeting Place 8.0 with LDAP integration.
I have created the LDAP in CCM, and also create the directory services in Meeting Place.
However, when I checked the option "Update Now", it returns with the error
"Directory Service is not running in Active mode. Users will not be updated/deleted."
Can anyone tell me what is the meaning of the Active mode?
Many thanks.
In Directory Service Configuration
for Hostname for Active Directory Service*
you should specify FQDN of App Server. If there is an IP address the above error occurs.
Please find below MPDS.log which explains it all.

Meeting Place 8.5.3.4 - Change Directory Service Configuration
Hi Support Community
We have 3 CUCM clusters version 8.6.2
We have 1 Meeting Place 8.5.3.4 cluster with a primary and standby server
Meeting Place has directory service integration with 1 of the CUCM clusters and performs all user sync and authentication via AXL / LDAP
We now need to change the Meeting Place configuration for AXL server, used for authentication and sync, to another CUCM cluster, this will use exactly the same LDAP search base so all users and details will remain the same in CUCM and therefore we want nothing to change in Meeting Place so all users should remain the same with the same configuration and all meetings should remain the same.
It looks straight forward to change the AXL URL but then we discovered the below from the Meeting Place configuration guide :
" user updates, imports, and deletions are not supported from a redundant Cisco Unified Communications Manager, even if it is integrated with the same LDAP directory as the primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager. This is because Directory Service user updates are tied to a field that is unique to each Cisco Unified Communications Manager server."
So we need to know how we go about changing the directory service configuration to point to another CUCM cluster for authentication and synchronization whilst keeping Meeting Place users and meetings in the Database unchanged.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Carl RatcliffeHi Carl,
I've just received a final update. If you want to point your Directory Integration to a different CUCM server that is holding the same user database and runs AXL service, you should be able to just change the AXL URL on MP and point to this new server. After this change is made and saved, we recommend restarting services on MeetingPlace (SSH to the server with mpxadmin account, changing to 'root', and running 'mpx_sys restart' command). Once the services are restarted and system comes back up, go to User Configuration > Directory Service > Directory Service Configuration and perform a Full Sync (make sure that Profile Number setting under Profile Number Configuration section is set to New users only in order to avoid any profile # change if any of the user profiles in CUCM was updated in the meantime)
Please, let me know of any questions you might have.
Thank you.

Hi, could you please answer question in terms of Meeting Place?
Hi, I am working in a trouble shooting of meeting place, I got very confused these 2 question:
1) in a real conferencing senario, does each audio stream from a participant should go to Audio Blade (Media server) in order to mix together. if so and we have voice gateway conference resource, then what is it for ? I mean no use voice gateway DSP farm to setup a conference?
2) in version V7, each audio blade has 250 session ports ( G711 audio codec only), and for instance we have 2 blades, then it mean that all the participants all of the meeting in a same time should be no more than 500 ?
3) the audiao blade working mode in a shared pool ? or other machanism?
thanks in advance!Good morning Fnu,
tons thanks to you, right not I get more clear of MP;
could you please correct me if I am wrong?
1) 1 ports means 1 session of audio, then if I have total 500 ports, then I can shedule 2 meetings, each has 250 participants, or I can shedule 100 meetings, each has 5 participants, correct?
2) when I schedule a meeting, then I wll reserving dedicated resouces on MCU, this means I can know which resource I will use in which blades before the meeting? I can check it in application server or somewhere else?
one of my client suffered weard issue that some participant hear choppy voice, should re-joint meeting again, or even sometime, the host should cancle meeting and need to set up again to resolve it
thanks!!! -

Question in Cisco Unified Meeting Place 8.5 with Webex integration
Greetings,
Let us say that I have the following requirements for fresh installation:
UCS C210-M2
CUWL-Pro for users (700 users)
CUCM 8.6
Cisco unified Meeting Place 8.5
My concern is about Meeting place; one of the requirments is to order Meeting Place 8.5 for local (on-premises) audio conferencing, and use Cisco Webex (cloud) for Web & Video conferencing.
I have the following questions:
- What part numbers should be ordered for meeting place and Webex?
- CUWL-Pro comes with Webex ports included, can use those ports?
Thanks in advance..Hi Anand,
For MP 8.5 new setup, you don't need a web server. Web server is an optional component only when you are upgrading the system from earlier MP releases.
If you are installing Webex node, it needs to be on a seperate MCS server (however, this is an optional component).
Application server and Express Media Server require only one UCS server if this is single node deployment.
Hardware requirements for application server and Webex node can be found in the following documents:
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Release_8.5_--_Hardware_Requirements#Application_Server_Requirements
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Release_8.5_--_Hardware_Requirements#Cisco_WebEx_Node_Requirements

Hi Guys,
For a meeting place solustion, Is it must to have the MP Media Server ( MP 35XX) ? Or can we build up the solution only with Application/Conference server ( on MCS server) and MP Webex node ( on MCS server) ?
Thanks
Raguyou can have Hardware Media Server or Express Media with MP 8
The Express Media Server is a set of software modules that reside on the Application Server.
Note: During installation, you will have the option to choose between the Hardware Media Server and Express Media Server for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace scheduled meeting mode. Ad-hoc meetings are only available in Express Media Server mode.
see the link which will help you find out all the details

How to change host name and domain name in installed Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0?
Hi
I have Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0 installed on server. Meting Place uses Linux (Red Hat) as base operation system. Please tell me how I can change host name and domain name for Meeting Place Express application to integrate it into corporate domain infrastructure.
Thanks in advance!!!
Sincerely yours
Sergey BondarenkoHi
Thanks for your attention for my humble problem.
I have performed Meeting Place Express configuration through the “net” command.
But now unfortunately I can't connect to meeting place through web browser. I just get blank page.
Though I can reach the server with help of ssh. I think my DNS works properly because I can resolve the ip address of cumpxvoice .uclab.com and cumpxweb. uclab.com with help of dig command.
Have you any idea?
A lot of thanks in advance!!
Sincerely yours Sergey Bondarenko
Here I have printed the net configuration output of Cisco meeting Place Express:
[root@cumpxvoice root]# net
This is the MeetingPlace Express network configuration utility.
Up to the point where you save changes, it is safe to hit ^C to get
out at any time, in which case nothing will have changed.
1) List current configuration
2) Configure Ethernet port 1
3) Configure Ethernet port 2
4) Configure service bindings
5) Set host names
6) Set domain name
7) Configure DNS service
8) Configure NTP service
9) Configure routing
10) Done

Hi,
The current integration is between Avaya and CUCM using SIP Trunk, calling from Avaya to Cisco is working fine, however when the calls originate from the Avaya to Meeting place which uses the SIP trunk between Avaya and CUCM the call does not connect. From the logs I can see that 503 Service unavailable which normally means that the DN is not registered to CUCM.
Is there any specific configuration for integration of Avaya with Meetingplace using CUCM.
Thanks,
VinayFirst verify that the Avaya system is passing the MP number via the SIP trunk to CUCM. Then checked what number the Avaya system is passing and if that number is routed to MP. The Avaya system may be translating the MP phone number so it is not being reconized on the CUCM system.

Meeting Place 8.5 Authentication users fails
Hi all,
My customer have installed The Meeting Place 8.5 and have problem whit the authentication of the users.
They have configured the Directory Service, for import users and use the Meeting Place Conference manager to Schedule the Meetings.
When try to intro to the Conference Managers with a Directory Service user, receive an error "Wrong user ID and password combination"
The user Profile exist in the MP.
I attach some screens.
Please I need your help.
Thanks a lot
GuillermoHi Guillermo,
MeetingPlace Conference Manager is meant for users with Attendant or System Manager privileges on the system. Regular End users are not allowed to use Conference Manager and shouldn't be allowed. The same is observed when trying to log in to the Administration Center web interface of MP Application server. Only local user profiles can log in.
Is there a reason why the end users don't use MeetingPlace Outlook plug-in to schedule meetings via their Microsoft Outlook clients?
Here you can find more information about Conference Manager: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace/8_5/english/books/admin_doc_compilation/mp85_admin_documentation/meetingmanager_install.html
As for scheduling via Outlook, you can find more information here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace/8_5/english/books/admin_doc_compilation/mp85_admin_documentation/outlook_integration.html

Meeting Place 7.0 Audio Blade
Hi - We are installing Meeting Place 7.0.2.14 with an IPVC3515-MCU for Audio/Video blade running software version 5.7.0.0.21.
We can route and web to the IPVC directly, and all status for the MCU/EMP are fine.
When we try to add the MCU under resource management through the Meeting Place Media Server Administration it authenticates and synchs the configuration, however, the MCU status remains as offline under Resource Management. I have tried restarting the IPVC and Meeting Place services as well as deleting and adding the MCU - but it still appears as offline.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Meeting Place meeting ID customization
All, a different request I have been asked and am now asking you. A client would like to limit the Meeting IDs given out when a meeting is scheduled to 50 specific number strings. They have been running like this on their old meeting system for quite some time and require this feature moving forward. Apprently, they have a backup (hosted) system to which calls are re-routed where the meetings IDs are mirrored so no communication needs to be sent out to the meeting participants.
The scenario is - reception creates a meeting with a meeting ID of 10001 (for instance) and communicates that to the end user. If Meeting Place were to cease functioning prior to or during the meeting, they require that users would be able to dial the same number (after the telco have re-routed the destination to the backup hosted system) and input the exact same ID they were given by reception.
My question is, can this be done in MP and if so - where is this customization configured.
Thanks in advance for the asssitance.
Geoffwhat does the Username for the dedicated email account for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace on the Microsoft Exchange Server indicate?
Example: [email protected]
Does that means that email notifications sent by meeting place will be sent by the email address [email protected]? -

Not able to access meeting place 6.0 through Web browser
Meeting Place version : 6.0
Issue : Not able to access meeting place through a web browser
Getting errors regarding database in eventviewer.Also, if you reset the "sa" password in Microsoft SQL Server, you will want to reset it in MeetingPlace. Do this by going to the desktop of the Web Server(s), then double click on the orange door on the bottom right, click on the Web Conferencing tab, and re-entering the "sa" password for both the Database Connection and the Slave Database Connection if both are showing.
Then you may need to restart the "Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing" service.
If this still does not work, you can open a SQL Server tool such as Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer and try to connect to the SQL server using the "sa" credentials.

Hi,
I am currently designing a CU Meeting Place solution for a 250 user environment.
I am thinking to have 2 nodes, one as Media Server and other one as Webex Node. Is it only requred for Meeting place deployment?
Do i need to have a seperate instance of Meeting Director for Scheduling ? Is Media Server / Webex node has native support for scheduling ?
Thanks and RegardsSameer,
Are you talking about the MP conference manager plug-in to schedule meetings? If yes, it is not compulsory.
The users can schedule meetings by logging into the web interface itself. The conference manager is just a user-friendly GUI interface to schedule meetings.
