CUC 8.5 UM integration with multiple AD Forest

Hi Guys,

I need to do a unity connection 8.5 UM integration with exchange 2003 and 2010 in two different AD Forest. AD 2003/exchange 2003 is in one Forest (Account Forest) with 2003 mailboxes on a corporate network AND AD 2008/exchange 2010 is in second Forest (Resource Forest) with 2010 mailboxes in the CLOUD. There is also a trust relationship between 2 AD Forest. As per unity connection 8.x SRND, we must create separate unified messaging services account (AD account) for each Forest.

Given the above scenario, I think we need 2 AD accounts, one on AD 2003 (for exchange 2003 mailboxes) and second one on AD 2008 (for exchange 2010 mailboxes). However, in this configuration if mailboxes are moved from 2003 to 2010 we will have to manually disassociate the unity connection subscriber mailbox with unified messaging service account (AD 2003 account) and re-associate it with unified messaging service account (AD 2008 account), is that correct? or is there a way to automate this if the mailboxes are moved to 2010 unity connection automatically detects the change?

Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Are the accounts being migrated to the new forest or just the mailboxes?

no, just the mailboxes are being moved to 2010 forest. Accounts will stay in 2003 forest.

Thanks
