Choose Schema > LdifScripts on Cisco Unity DVD 1, and view the file Avdirmonex2k.ldf in order to see the

changes that the schema update program makes.


16/29

Changes to the Active Directory schema can take 15 minutes or more to replicate throughout the forest. The

changes must finish replicating before you can install Cisco Unity.

Confirm that all domain controllers are on line. The Active Directory schema extensions replicate

only when all domain controllers are on line.

On the computer that has the schema master role, typically the first DC/GC in the forest, log on to

Windows as a user who is a member of the Schema Admins group.

contents of the files in order to confirm that the extension completed successfully.

7.

Create Organizational Units and a Mailbox Store

Users and distribution lists are created in locations that you specify. If you want users and distribution lists tobe created in custom organizational units (OUs), create the OUs now. Both OUs need to be in the same

domain, but they do not need to be in the same domain as the Cisco Unity server. Refer to Active Directory

Users and Computers Help for more information on how to create OUs.

You also have the option to create a custom mailbox store as the default for subscribers that are added through

the Cisco Unity Administrator or that are imported from a CSV file. Refer to Exchange System Manager Help

for more information on how to create a custom mailbox store. Later in the installation process, you configure

Cisco Unity to use the mailbox store.

Cisco Unity Software Installation

addresses of all secondary servers appear in the list. If there is only one Cisco Unified CM server in

the cluster, leave this page blank.
