Creating Users Without Voice Mail

Bulk Administration Manager allows you to create Cisco Unity Connection users without voice mail by using either a wizard or a command line interface to import information from a CSV file.

Refer to the "Constructing the Input CSV Files" section as you create the CSV file. Then, see the applicable section, depending on the method you plan to use to create users without voice mail:

Using the Wizard to Create Users Without Voice Mail

To Use the Wizard to Create Cisco Unity Connection Users Without Voice Mail
  1. If you do not already have Tools Depot open, click the Cisco Unity Tools Depot icon on the desktop, and Expand Administration Tools.
  2. Double-click Bulk Administration Manager.
  3. On the Cisco Unity Connection Bulk Administration Manager Welcome page, click Next.
  4. On the Select Operation screen, click Create.
  5. Click Users, and click Next.
  6. On the Select Files screen, in the CSV File field, enter the full path to the CSV input file or browse to the applicable file.
  7. In the Failed Objects File field, enter the full path to the failed objects report file or browse to the applicable file.
  8. Click Next. Bulk Administration Manager begins creating users and displays the summary page when the operation has completed.
    9. If the operation resulted in any failures, you can immediately inspect the failed objects report file by clicking View Failed Objects File. For information about correcting errors, see "Correcting Errors with Creating, Updating, or Deleting Objects by Using the Failed Objects File".
  9. Click Finish.

Using the Command Line Interface to Create Users Without Voice Mail

The command to create Cisco Unity Connection users without voice mail by using information from a CSV file is

BulkAdministrationManager /Create /Users /Input:"<Full path to the CSV input file>" /Failed:"<Full path to the failed objects report file>" [/TemplateAlias]

The optional argument TemplateAlias allows you to specify the alias of the template to use on the command line, instead of in the input CSV file. If the argument is used, Bulk Administration Manager uses the value of <TemplateAlias> for each record in the CSV file for which the entry for the template alias is blank. If the TemplateAlias heading is not included in the CSV file, the value of <TemplateAlias> is used for all records in the file. (You must specify a valid template alias. Otherwise, Bulk Administration Manager completes the bulk operation but treats each record that is associated with the invalid alias as an individual failure.)

When the following command is run, Bulk Administration Manager reads information from the file createusers.csv to create users without voice mail, and reports failures to the file createusers.failed.csv. The template "adminusertemplate" is used for each record in the CSV file where the template alias is not specified.

BulkAdministrationManager /create /users /input:"c:\program files\csv\createusers.csv" /failed:"c:\program files\csv\createusers.failed.csv" /templatealias:adminusertemplate

 

Note that the command line arguments are not case sensitive, and that the order of the options is unimportant.
