We are implementing Voip on our network. We have AD running on Forest Function Level 2008 R2. Our Voip installers are requesting that we create contact objects in our directory for our conference room phones so that these phones will be searchable in the Voip database (being that they are not real users).
The voip system downloads the user information from our directory into its database periodically. To do this it searches for objects containing the following attributes:
samaccountname
userprinciplename
The issue is that the contact object does not have these attributes.
Is it possible to add these attributes to the contact object without "breaking" anything or any other functionality in AD?
If so, how should this be done.
