Dear Fellow Engineers,
I am in the process of trying to devise a way to migrate several hundred 7900 phones to 8851s. I have been able to successfully test several phones and it works beautifully, migrating DNs, BLFs, etc. However, I was hoping that someone may be able to suggest a way to do it using like a self-provisioning style where users can call a preset number and enter their extension numbers and the Migration will take place, thus copying over all of their settings.
When I initially investigated and tested the new Self-Provisioning feature in CUCM 11.5, it seems more built for new site roll-outs, i.e., users who are being setup for the first time and will use a general template. However, for already established users, the phone migrations seems to me to work better. Our users have varying numbers of DNs and BLfs. The problem is that for use to scan all the new MACs and then ensure that each user gets the exact MAC is an administrative headache.
To be able to simply provide users with a new phone and have them connect it to the network, dial a number and have their phone settings migrate on to their new phone would be ideal. Any direction or alternative suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I have used the following resources as I did my research:
