Unity 4.2.1 migration - onbox -> offbox
|
|
|
| Hey guys,
Anybody ever come across issues when migrating from a one box standalone
AD/DC/Exchange/Unity system over to an offbox "proper AD" environment?
I have had issues in a way that the whole system broke even though the
install before the DIRT restore was successful.
Taken it up with TAC and spoken to DE's but getting mixed answers and
messages - the logging level wasn't high enough to give a proper
resolution. One of the main issues were that AD accounts got created but
no mailboxes.
Various table entries in the UnityDB were empty or referencing the old
mailboxstoreobjectID missing alias - no directoryID - wrong
logonserver.... In the subscriber table as well as in the mailbox store
table..
Just to name a few errors...
Just performed it in a test lab and worked a treat even though we
followed the exact same procedure...
Any ideas - anybody?
Callmanager 5.1.2.2102-1 and Unity 4.2(1) - all servers H2's 7845's
Latest releases of DIRT and DBWalker.
And on a different note, I had issues with the standalone box regarding
the HP Teaming tool. It's an H1 45 as well. It broke and can't use the
teaming tool any more... Tried reinstalling the latest releases...
Again taken up with TAC/HTTS ...
If anybody has details on how the relationship between the various AD
objects that are being pushed/pulled related to the SQL entries - would
be a start, recon this is deep cisco internal's though...
Thanks
T

| What you would need to do is backup the PSTs and recreate the user
inboxes.. and migrate the PSTs back into Exchange... it would be ugly
and you would lose your call handlers...
I guess, in theory, you could just add a UM license to a VM Unity and
then demote the Unity server (from a DC) and then join it to the
domain, move the PSTs over to the corp Exchange... but I wouldn't want
to try it.

| Running exmerge to migrate the messages across is an option to for the
messages. The wav greetings you can just copy over (one folder) - odd
though that cisco doesn't have any concerns of hitting the 256 char
limit on the file names plus path though with all those spaces in their
naming convention for greetings... Moving the box over itself is not an
option as we are upgrading from H1's to H2's. would be curious to see...
I still haven't heard back from cisco which objects are being pushed and
which one are being pulled from AD with SQL...
