– Using Exchange Management Console, open the Properties of the
Mailbox, on the General tab, click
Custom Attributes
and edit the value of
extensionAttribute1 to be ‗TMS-Service‘.
5. The AD-Admin or Exchange-Admin must make the
TMS-Service
account a local Windows
Administrator of the specified Exchange Server.
6. The AD-Admin or Exchange-
Admin must grant the ‗Log on as Batch Job‘ Local Security Policy to
the TMS-Service account on the specified Exchange Server. Ensure no Group Policy setting will
block or remove this permission. See
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739028.aspx
for assistance on assigning user rights for your local computer.
7. The AD-Admin must create or identify a Windows user account that can log into the Cisco TMS
server to be the Cisco TMS Side Service user. The user account can be a local Windows account
on the Windows Server hosting Cisco TMS or a domain user. We will refer to this account as
tmsconfuser
.
Open a browser and log into the Cisco TMS website with a user with Site Administrator privileges. Go
to
Administrative Tools > User Administration
. If the tmsconfuser account has never logged into
Cisco TMS, create a new user profile. If the account has logged in previously, find the existing user
profile and click Edit. Ensure the username of the profile matches the username of the service
account. Set the
Exchange Integration Service Account
value to
Yes
. Set the email address of the
profile to be the email address of the TMS-Service account created in the earlier steps. Ensure the
user is a member of a Cisco TMS group that has the book on behalf of permission and book
permission on all systems that will be integrated (recommend using Site Administrator group which
will allow access to all systems). Save the profile and close the Cisco TMS website.
8. If users will be given access to resource calendars so they can interact with the calendars directly
(required if using Direct Resource Booking), the AD-Admin must create or designate an existing
security group for the ‗Editor‘ role and ‗Author‘ security groups that will later be granted
permissions to the resource‘s calendars.
Stage the Resource Accounts
These steps will outline how to prepare a resource account for use with the Cisco TMSXE integration.
These steps should be repeated for each resource account to be integrated, and anytime you need to
integrate a new system and be completed before trying to enable the corresponding Cisco TMS
system using the Configuration tool.
1. Log into the Cisco TMS web interface and find the Cisco TMS
System ID
of the system that will
be associated with this resource account. This can be seen by looking at the View Settings page
for the system in Navigator. Example ID = 15
2. If an existing resource account is going to be reused, have the Exchange-Admin move the
mailbox to an Information Store on the Exchange Server where Cisco TMSXE is installed. If no
existing resource account is going to be reused, have the AD-Admin create a new Active
Directory user and mailbox for the Exchange Resource account. In Exchange 2007 Installs, be
sure to create a mailbox of type room or equipment. The mailbox for the user must be located on
an Information Store on the Exchange Server where Cisco TMSXE is installed.
Most of the account‘s properties, such as username, password, display name, and email address
are not significant to the Integration and can be whatever values you chose. It is recommended
you set the Display Name value to the same name as the matching system in Cisco TMS.
3. The AD-Admin must set the
extensionattribute1
property on the resource account to TMS-xx
where xx is replaced with the numeric ID found in step 1. Example
TMS-15
