Unity Alias, can it be changed?
Today I had an interesting and challenging ticket come my way. The problem was the customer wanted to change their unity ( voice mail only ) accounts to conform to their corporate naming structure. Funny enough, there is no “magic pill” to correcting this problem. In fact, some firms would probably just say it cannot be done, or would tell the customer they would need to delete then recreate their VM boxes in Unity. It absolutely can be done with a little attention to detail.
The first step in the process is to configure the Active Directory information properly. This includes changing the e-mail field which can be found on the General tab, the User Logon Name which is under the Account tab, and the exchange alias ( which is the most important for the purposes of this blog entry ) and is located under the Exchange General tab.
Once I had all the AD account information set up the way I wanted, I had to run a tool located in the Cisco Unity Tools depot, called DG/GC. This tool allows you to sync the Unity accounts to the AD directory manually. By default this sync occurs on a regular time interval ( in most cases it is run every 15 minutes ).
DC GC can sync both the Domain Controller and the Global Catalog by pressing the “Force Reconnect” option.
Either way, I found this process to be a little cumbersome because I had to manually touch 32 accounts, but in the long run, it would have saved me loads of time from deleting the VM box account and recreating it in AD, then re-importing it into Unity. Best of all, the users are not aware this occurred at all, and they were able to save all their mailbox settings including greeting, pin, and voice mails.
Food for thought, enjoy!

It is good to move as chance bring new things in life, paves the way for advancement, etc. But it is well known to everyone that moving to new location with bulk of goods is not an easy task to move or shift from one place to other place because I have experienced about that and I face the problem like that.

If your landlord has refused to return your rent deposit back because you have not done an end of tenancy cleaning then you should consider of using cleaning company. There is no need to push yourself to do end of tenancy cleaning as it is very exhausting and time consuming job.
