bSpecify the Active Directory attribute from which to generate conference passcodes and the number of characters to use.

5Click Update.

After a short time, the system confirms that Active Directory configuration has been updated.

6Note the time. Click OK.

7Confirm that passcode generation worked as expected.

a Go to Reports > Enterprise Passcode Errors and verify that the time on the report is after the time when you last completed step 6.

bReview the number of valid, invalid, and unassigned passcodes.

If there are only a few problems, they can generally be resolved by correcting invalid Active Directory entries.

Note: Invalid passcodes

Unless users have already been provisioned with passcodes in your Active Directory or you’re using an existing attribute, most users will probably not have passcodes assigned.

Duplicate and invalid passcodes should be your main concern because they could indicate a problem with the type of data in the selected attributes or with the number of characters you elected to use.

The system runs the first three queries every time it creates or updates its cache:
