Exchange Server Integration Procedure
To integrate the Polycom DMA system with your Exchange server
1Confirm that the Polycom DMA system has been successfully integrated
with your Active Directory (see “Integrations with Other Systems” on
page163) and verify the domain.
Successful calendar integration requires that the Polycom DMA system be
integrated with Microsoft Active Directory.
2Ensure that the DNS server used by the Microsoft Exchange server
(usually, the nearest Active Directory domain controller) has an A record
for the Polycom DMA system that resolves the system’s FQDN to its
virtual IP address.
Password The password for the Polycom Conferencing user ID.
Territory Select a territory, thereby determining which Polycom
DMA cluster is responsible for integrating with the
Exchange server and monitoring the Polycom
Conferencing infrastructure mailbox. See “Territories”
on page302 for more information.
Accept Exchange
notifications from these
additional IP addresses
If you have multiple Exchange servers behind a load
balancer, specify the IP address of each individual
Exchange server.

Field Description
Note
Unless the Allow unencrypted calendar notifications from Exchange server
security option is enabled (see “Security Settings” on page 48 ), the Polycom DMA
system offers the same SSL server certificate that it offers to browsers connecting
to the system management interface. The Microsoft Exchange server must be
configured to trust the certificate authority in order for the DMA system to subscribe
to notifications.
If he DMA system is unable to subscribe to notifications, the Microsoft Exchange
Server status (see Dashboard) remains Subscription pending indefinitely and the
Polycom DMA system doesn’t automatically receive calendar notifications. Instead,
it must check the Polycom Conferencing mailbox for meeting request messages,
which it does every 4 minutes.
