Call Manager / Unity and Multi Forest AD Domain

[mdwinn31]

We are looking at implementing Cisco Callmanager / Unity at our site which consists of a multi Forest, multi domain Windows 2k3 AD network.

My question is what is the best way to deploy Unity, and have multi-forest sites authenticate? Also, has anyone had any experience in implementing a single "resource" forest that serves other forests?

Thanks

For CallManager multi-forest AD integration and authentication can be achieved through the following means.

Unity Connection can also be pointed to ADAM

Unity would need multiple instances for each forest.

Hopefully that helps.
