Polycom 3725-77601-001H manual Enable Integration with the Enterprise Directory Server

Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

Notes

•Performing the net user command on any machine other than a domain controller will not assign the computer account password for the CMA system computer account.

•At initial integration, the CMA System will change its Computer Account password to a random 120 character string including special characters. This password will also be changed, to a new randomly generated password, every time the CMA System is rebooted, or every week if no reboots are performed. Because this is a Computer account, resetting the password to a known value requires use of net user commands on an Active Directory Domain Controller.

1Go to Admin > Directories > Enterprise Directory.

2On the Enterprise Directory page, select Integrate with Enterprise Directory Server.

3To have the system auto-discover the server by querying DNS, enable Auto-discoverin the Enterprise Directory Server DNS Name section; otherwise, enter the DNS Name for the enterprise directory server.
