Deployment Guide for the Polycom CX700 IP Phone

Although the actual operations of these two providers are closely related, they appear independent to the time service. By default, when a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 is connected to a network, it is configured as an NTP client.

The Polycom CX700 phone searches for a NTP server in DNS as follows:

NTP SRV record (UDP port 123)

_ntp._udp.<SIP domain> pointing to NTP server

If it cannot find the NTP SRV record, it will try to use windows.com as an NTP server:

NTP A record

time.windows.com

To set Group Policy for Windows Time Service global configuration settings:

1.From the MMC, click Active Directory Users and Computers.

2.Right-click the domain that contains the NTP server, and then select Properties.

3.Click the Group Policy tab, make sure that the Default Domain Policy is highlighted, and then click Edit.

4.Click Computer Configuration, click Administrative Templates, click System, and then click Windows Time Service.

5.Click Time Providers and in the right pane, double-click Enable Windows NTP Server, select the Enabled button, and then click OK.

6.From the Group Policy Object Editor menu, select File, and then click Exit.

Server Security Framework Overview

The following section summarizes the elements that form the security framework for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2. It is helpful to understand how these elements work together when you deploy the Polycom CX700 phone in your organization.

These security elements are as follows:

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) provides a single trusted, back-end repository for user accounts and network resources.

PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) uses certificates that are issued by trusted CAs (certificate authorities) to authenticate servers and to help ensure data integrity.
