I take that back.  CUCM uses the GUID (global user id) to sync the CUCM user to the LDAP user.  If you change AD environments, the GUID will change, and CUCM will no longer think it's the same user.   The only way to possibly make this work is to convert the users to local users, then re-configure your LDAP connection, then use SQL commands that you can get from TAC to convert the user back to an LDAP user.  This will cause the user to download the GUID from LDAP and match it to the user with the same userid.     ...

With a SIP phone, you need to do a SIP pattern.  Refer to the following previous forum https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11136061/hot-dial-cisco-9951-sip-phone ... View more

You are correct in assuming that other non-configured users cannot be listed in the "dial by name" directory. But they can still have their extensions dialed directly from Unity even though they don't have a mailbox. ... View more

In order for Jabber to register and call through CUCM, you must create a CSF device for it to register to and then tie that device to the user account through the associated devices. ... View more

I had a similar issue. We discovered that the phone was causing our PRI to send the call as a digital call instead of a voice call and the provider was rejecting it. This can be confirmed with a 'debug isdn q931' on the router. To resolve it, we went into the voice-port and put in the following command: voice-port 0/0:23 bearer-cap 3100hz This forced all calls to go out as voice and everything started working. ...

Ok, so it looks like calls are coming in on G711alaw and going to Voicemail on G711ulaw. If your SIP provider will do G711u, then I would modify the incoming voip dial-peers to specify G711u instead of codec class 1 by doing this dial-peer voice 2100 voip codec g711ulaw ! dial-peer voice 1000 voip no voice-class codec 1 codec g711ulaw ! dial-peer voice 3008 voip no voice-class codec 1 codec g711ulaw ! dial-peer voice 3009 voip no voice-class codec 1 codec g711ulaw ! dial-peer voice 3002 voip no voice-class codec 1 codec g711ulaw ! dial-peer voice 3003 voip no voice-class codec 1 codec g711ulaw ! dial-peer voice 3004 voip no voice-class codec 1 codec g711ulaw ! dial-peer voice 3000 voip no voice-class codec 1 codec g711ulaw This will change all incoming voice calls to G711ulaw. Just in case it has an unforseen consequence, dont save the config to memory until you're sure it is working.  A simple reboot will bring it back to normal. ... View more

I apologize. Gmail will allow you to use them as a smarthost SMTP relay, but they require authentication to do so.  We do this for all our printers that email out scanned/faxed images. Looking at the Unity Connection smarthost configuration, there is no option for authentication, so it requries a blind unautenticated relay, which gmail will not allow. So yes, you are correct, Gmail is not a viable options for Unity Connection smarthost at this time. ... View more

Grasping at straws a little here - but Call Forwarding is one of the very few changes that is made on the subscriber that the phone is registered to, and is then propogated out to the other subscribers/publisher. So if the call were to come into another subscriber, and the database were out of sync, then this would be the expected result. ... View more

You can use Gmail as your SMTP server.  A quick google search produced lots of websites on how to set it up.  So GMail would be your smarthost in your case. Here is one of the many results I found. http://lifehacker.com/111166/how-to-use-gmail-as-your-smtp-server ... View more
