Back to configuration example overview page: Sample Configuration Workflow for Deploying Cisco Unified Presence with Cisco Unified Personal Communicator
In this module , we will demonstrate how to set up and verify a basic availability and IM deployment. This will allow your CUPC users to add contacts, view user availability, receive incoming IMs, initiate outgoing IMs and participate in group chat rooms.
Assumptions:
- CUP is installed
- CUCM is installed
- Active Directory is installed
- Postgres is installed and configured as per....
Creating your Users on Active Directory
Create the users Charles Holland, Sue Miller and Neena Patel on the Active Directory server.
