East of Target Field
The past two weeks have been incredibly busy. I’m working on a UCS B-Series based project that includes CUCM, CUC, CER, CUPS, and CUEAC (what I call The Iron Fist). I only had nine working days to get the environment to the point where users could train on test phones.
In a perfect world (i.e. non-reality), nine days would be plenty of time. In a perfect world, the phone system would arrive pre-configured on a pallet. Position it in the data center, plug it in, and you’re done. Hmm…welcome to reality.
Let me just say, deploying a unified communications platform is not simple. It gets easy over time, but that doesn’t simplify the process.

After some indecisiveness, I’ve decided to keep my technical posts separated from the rest of my life. It ended up being more of mental barrier to me than I thought.

Upcoming Content
I’m going to shift the focus of this blog back to it’s original purpose; namely, documenting things that I learn through practical experience and studies. Here are a few posts that I’m working on right now:
- SRV Records in a CUCM-CUPS Integration
- Populating Active Directory user profile pictures in CUPC/Jabber
- Unity Connection Single Inbox with Exchange 2010 Cheat Sheet
- Configuring IPMA the Right Way
- CUPS 8.6(3) Reflections – Bugs and Frustrations
Once I finish a major cutover next week, I’ll start cranking these out. The content is in Evernote, but I still need to add some screenshots and format them correctly.
Video Walkthroughs
Question: Would anyone be interested in me posting some short video walkthroughs of how to configure different UC features? I’d like to experiment with using screencasts as blog content, but I’ll only do it if people would find it useful.
