Procedures for Setting Up Cisco Unity to Use VPIM Networking
Creating the UVPIM Account by Using ConfigMgr.exe (Optional)If you plan to configure Cisco Unity to automatically update the VPIM subscriber directory based on the
information received in incoming VPIM messages, you must first configure the bridgehead server by
running ConfigMgr.exe with the Create VPIM Account option. (Note that the use of automatic directory
updates is optional, and that this procedure and the steps for configuring automatic updates can be done
at any time after VPIM Networking has been set up, if you later decide to use this functionality.) To
enable the processing of directory update information, ConfigMgr.exe does the following:
• Configures the server to automatically start and stop the CsVPIMConnector service.
• Configures the Cisco Unity Administrator to enable the link to the Delivery Locations > Subscriber
Creation pages.
• Creates the UVPIM mailbox to which the Voice Connector will deliver directory messages for the
CsVPIMConnector service to process. Note that the UVPIM mailbox is actually homed on the
Exchange server that the Cisco Unity Bridgehead server is connected to. This server is also know as
the partner Exchange server; it was selected in the Cisco Unity Server Message Store Configuration
wizard during setup.
Do one of the following two procedures, depending on the version of Exchange that the partner
Exchange server is running.
To Create the UVPIM Account When the Partner Exchange Server Is Running Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003
Step 1 On the VPIM bridgehead Cisco Unity server, browse to the directory in which Cisco Unity is installed
(the default location is CommServer).
Step 2 Double-click ConfigMgr.exe. The ConfigMgr dialog box appears.
Step 3 Click Create VPIM Dir Account.
Step 4 Click OK in the dialog box that displays after the configuration has completed.
Step 5 Close the ConfigMgr dialog box.
Step 6 On the Cisco Unity server, start the Services tool. (On the Windows Start menu, click Programs >
Administrative Tools > Services.)
Step 7 Right-click AvNotifierMgr, and select Restart.
Note The CPU usage on the Cisco Unity server will spike for a few minutes while the AvNotifierMgr
reinitializes connections with subscriber mailboxes.
Step 8 Close the Services tool.
To Create the UVPIM Account When the Partner Exchange Server Is Running Exchange 2007
Step 1 On the VPIM bridgehead Cisco Unity server, browse to the directory in which Cisco Unity is installed
(the default location is CommServer).
Step 2 Double-click ConfigMgr.exe. The ConfigMgr dialog box appears.
Step 3 Click Create and Configure VPIM Account and Mailbox.
