when this first came out, I tried it and then disabled it. Not really knowing what it was going to change on the 3300 every time something was done in the MAS caused more problems than it was worth. Having the desire to delete and recreate a user in the MAS when an employee was replaced (so the user id/login matched the new person) would cause the phone to be deleted and recreated (along with call rerouting/keys/etc).
Now that we have user/key templates in the MCD, and UCA (so we don't have to worry about Call rerouting so much), it looks like it could be used more as a single location to manage both MCD and MAS.
I have gone with a login of x#### (x followed by the extension number)and that seems to work. for /portal the user can use the x#### or their email address. for /ucweb or uca client they can only use x####. A new user comes along and the login is still relevant.
so was wondering what other techs have found with single point provisioning. Do you use it? Any gotcha's? my next install is a vMAS, so won't have the opportunity to set it up in our office and play with it for a few hours before going to site like I usually do.
I wonder if the audit logs in the MCD give a trail of what the MAS does as far as moving phones from one COS to another when you add a feature/ etc
any feedback would be appreciated.
