[TCC_2]

Resolution

It is possible to change the subscriber alias on Active Directory (AD) and have the change reflected on Cisco Unity.

Complete these steps on Active Directory:

1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
   
   
2. Select the account to be modified, and right-click it.
   
   
3. Choose Properties, and go to the Exchange General tab.
   
   
4. In the Alias field, change that value.

Then, complete these steps in Cisco Unity:

1. On the Cisco Unity server, choose Start > Run > services.msc, and restart these two services:
      
   • AvDSAD
     
     
   • AvGlobalCatalog
     
      
2. Open the Cisco Unity Admin page.
   
   
3. Choose subscribers, and click the find a subscriber button.
   
   
4. Find the user that is modified in Active Directory. At this point, the changes made in Active Directory are reflected in Cisco Unity.
