that handles outgoing SMTP messages.
• That the Exchange servers where Cisco Unity subscriber mailboxes are located can route messages
to the Exchange server on which the Voice Connector is installed.
• That the Exchange server on which the Voice Connector is installed can route messages to the

Refer to your Exchange documentation for more information.
Extending the Active Directory Schema
Before Cisco Unity is installed, the Active Directory schema is extended to store Cisco Unity-specific
information. To support VPIM Networking, the schema must be further extended. To see the schema
changes that need to be made to support VPIM Networking, browse to the directory Schema\LdifScripts
on Cisco Unity Disc 1, and view the file vpimgateway.ldf.
To Extend the Active Directory Schema for VPIM Networking
Do this procedure only if you did not already modify the Active Directory schema to support VPIM
Networking during the Cisco Unity installation. You can verify whether the schema has already been
modified by examining the log file that is generated each time the schema is updated. A shortcut to the
directory where the log file is located is placed on the Windows desktop.
Step 1 Confirm that all domain controllers are on line before making the schema updates. Schema replication
will occur only when all domain controllers are on line.
Step 2 On the domain controller that is the schema master, log on by using an account that is a member of the
Schema Administrators group.
Step 3 On Cisco Unity DVD 1 or CD 1, or from the location to which you saved the downloaded Cisco Unity
CD 1 image files, browse to the directory ADSchemaSetup, and double-click ADSchemaSetup.exe.
Step 4 In the dialog box, double-click a row to choose the language in which you will view ADSchemaSetup.
Step 5 Check Exchange 2000 VPIM Connector, uncheck the other check boxes, and then click OK.
Step 6 When the LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) scripts have finished running, click OK.
Step 7 When the schema extension has finished, Ldif.log and LDif.err files are saved to the desktop. View the
contents of the files to confirm that the extension completed successfully.
Step 8 Wait for the changes to the schema to replicate throughout the forest before adding information to the
primary location and to delivery locations. Changes to the schema may take 15 minutes or more to
replicate.
Note To determine whether changes have replicated and to force replication if necessary, use the
Replication Monitor, which is available when you install Support Tools from the Windows 2000
compact disc.
