Integrating Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 6.X and Active Directory (AD) | 2010-02-01 | Global Knowledge |
| Directories are specialized databases that are optimized for a high number of reads and searches, and occasional writes and updates. Although Active Directory (AD) and Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) are very diverse systems owned by two separate companies, the use of AD for management of users in a CUCM system is a common consideration. Microsoft's AD structure is as, and most organizations using an AD system already have an easy way to manage their users. Tying this ease of use system into CUCM is the next logical step. This white paper focuses on end users and their association with AD.

The Challenges of Administering Active Directory | 2009-09-16 | NetIQ |
| As Active Directory's role in the enterprise has drastically increased, so has the need to secure the data it stores and to which it enables access. The lack of native control makes the secure administration of Active Directory a challenging task at best for administrators. As a result, organizations need assistance in creating repeatable, enforceable processes that will ultimately reduce their administrative overhead, while simultaneously helping increase availability and security of their systems. This paper outlines seven common challenges associated with securely administering Active Directory and provides some helpful insight into what NetIQ can do to assist one with these difficulties.
