Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0 Exchange Server Configuration error.

[sergeybondarenko]

Hi

I have Cisco Meeting  Place Express 2.0 installed on server. Meting Place uses Linux (Red Hat)  as base operation system.

I have a problem with Cisco Meeting Place Express and Exchange Server synchronizing.

The Cisco Meeting Place Settings are

Exchange Server
Hostname *
Language* de_DE en_AU en_GB en_US fr_CA fr_FR	SSL   enabled * true false
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express   Mailbox Account
Windows   domain *
Username *
Password *
Password   confirm *
E-mail   address *
Mailbox   maintenance interval (days) *
Mailbox   maintenance cutover (days) *

When I type the button test, I receive “Authentication error. Check the authenticated access to the Exchange Server for Microsoft NTLM authentication scheme.”

My Exchange Server is synchronized with MS Active Directory. As far as I know, Kerberous is used for authentication. So, how can I enable NTLM authentication scheme on AD? Are there any other options for Cisco MPE and Exchange synchronization?

Thanks for help

Sincerely yours

I believe the domain is supposed to be the NetBIOS form of the domain (e.g. uclab), not the FQDN format of it (e.g. uclab.com)

Jonathan is correct on that.  You can drop the .com from the domain name.  Also, what version of Exchange are you running?  If you are using SSL then you will need to install the certificate on the MPE server as well.  If you are running Exchange 2007, you'll need to check that the version of MPE 2.0 you are running supports Exchange 2007 integration.  If you were on 2.1, I could tell you that this is not an issue at all - however, with 2.0 you'll need to check this out based on what you're running.

Thanks a lot.

I have corrected domain name in configuration after your advice. Cisco MPE Exchange Configuration is working very well now. I’m able to start a meeting from the outlook calendar and send messages to meeting participants.

Thank you very march for your assistance!
