Enterprise Conference Room ID Generation

	Directory attribute	The name of the Active Directory attribute from which
		the Polycom DMA system should derive conference
		room IDs (virtual meeting room numbers). Generally,
		organizations use a phone number field for this.
		The attribute must be in the Active Directory schema
		and preferably should be replicated across the
		enterprise via the Global Catalog server mechanism.
		But if the attribute isn’t in the Global Catalog, the system
		queries each domain controller for the data.
		Leave this field blank if you don’t want the system to
		create conference rooms for the enterprise users.
	Characters to remove	Characters that might need to be stripped from a phone
		number field’s value to ensure a numeric conference
		room ID.
		The default string includes \t, which represents the tab
		character. Use \\ to remove backslash characters.
		If generating alphanumeric conference room IDs,
		remove the following:
		()&%#@"':;,
		Single spaces in the source field are preserved, but
		multiple consecutive spaces are concatenated to one
		space.
	Maximum characters	Desired length of conference room IDs. The Polycom
	used	DMA system strips excess characters from the
		beginning, not the end. If you specify 7, the room IDs will
		contain the last 7 valid characters from the Active
		Directory attribute being used.
	Enterprise Chairperson and Conference Passcode Generation
	Chairperson directory	The name of the Active Directory attribute that contains
	attribute	the chairperson passcodes. In choosing an attribute,
		remember that passcodes must be numeric.
		The attribute must be in the Active Directory schema
		and preferably should be replicated across the
		enterprise via the Global Catalog server mechanism.
		But if the attribute isn’t in the Global Catalog, the system
		queries each domain controller for the data.
		Leave this field blank if you don’t want the system to
		create chairperson passcodes for the enterprise users.
