What version of Unity do you have? It should be corrected if you upgrade to 4.0(3)SR1.

Thanks,

I've seen this error before in relation to a DNS issue. I have a few clients using Unity as voicemail only so Unity is installed in it's own domain. I always use the http:///saweb url to access the administration pages and when I do a search for a subscriber it pops up a new window and replaces the ip address portion in the url with the host name of the Unity server and gives me the error you mention. If I replace the name with the IP address then it let me in. I haven't actively looked for a resolution so unfortunately I can't really help you there but you might be able to fix it by adding the hostname of your Unity box to your DNS server or set up a trust between your Unity domain and your network domain.

This totally worked for me. Thanks. I didn't find the fix, but that's okay.

subscriber record, a dialog box stating, "Unable to resolve failover partner name to FQDN". This

may also happen if the Unity SA is accessed in a DNS format (like

http://servername.domainname.com/saweb).

After entering the SA as described above, go to the Subscriber page.

When presente with a list of subscribers, select one.

A dialog box with the following message is displayed, "Unable to resolve failover

For any client that needs to access Unity via IP address, place an entry in the hosts file that has

the host name (without any periods) mapped to an IP address.

This has been seen when accessing Unity from the same domain as Unity and from a different domain
