Step 3 Click Stop All in each of the three sections of the page to stop all Personal Assistant Servers, license managers, and speech recognition servers.

Setting Up Active Directory as the Corporate Directory for Personal Assistant

Do the following two subsections, if applicable.

Verifying That the Global Catalog Schema Includes Personal Assistant Attributes

If you are using Active Directory for the corporate directory, and if you have users defined in multiple domains, you must use the global catalog server when you configure the corporate directory.

If you use the global catalog server, the global catalog schema must include the attributes specific to Personal Assistant, as listed in Table 2-1.

In addition to the attributes listed, if you create directory hierarchies that use other attributes (for example, City=San Jose), ensure that the additional attributes are also included in the schema.

Verify with your Active Directory administrator that the global catalog schema has the applicable attributes.
