Converting imported CUCM users to LDAP synch

[Paul McGurn]

We have an existing Unity 8.x implementation that was importing users from CUCM.  We want to enable LDAP authentication for those users.  Is is possible to "convert" a CUCM-imported user into an LDAP-synched user without dropping and recreating them?  I noticed that a BAT export shows the LdapCcmUserId and CorporatePhoneNumber field end up being populated for LDAP imported users.  I haven't tried running a BAT update against these fields to see if it'll push them over to LDAP synch vs. CUCM manual synch.

Has anyone done a migration like this before?

Most of my deployments have been LDAP-enabled so I've not tried this but here is the related documentation on how to deal with it:

You have to use BAT...look for the following section:

• To change the LDAP integration status of Connection users who were created by importing from Cisco Unified Communications Manager, see the “Integrating Existing Connection User Accounts with LDAP User Accounts Using Bulk Administration Tool (Cisco Unity Connection 8.5 and Later Only)” section on page 12-6.

Thanks for confirming.  I couldn't find that document with all my searching, so I ended up doing a dry run with a couple of our end users in IT, successfully.
