Task 21: Creating a list of endpoints and email addresses
To ease the import of a large amount of endpoints to Cisco TMS into Cisco TMSXE, we recommend creating
a comma-separated list of system information.
a comma-separated list of system information.
1. In the tool of your choice, create a comma-separated list of systems formatted as follows:
TMS ID,System name,Email
42,Meeting Room 1,meetingroom1@example.com
We recommend omitting the header line and System name column for simplicity as they are optional.
2. Get the system IDs from Cisco TMS by going to
Systems > System Overview
and selecting the desired
folders.
3. Get the email addresses from the list of endpoints exported from Unified CM.
If you are importing to an existing Cisco TMS installation, you can re-use this list for the final import, but will
need to update the system IDs, which will change when systems are re-added to Cisco TMS.

If you are planning a clustered setup, only install and configure the first node at this time.

Use the endpoint list created in the previous task for bulk import on the

The configuration tool will warn you if resource mailboxes are not configured consistently. This will
have no effect on the trial import, but we strongly recommend addressing any discrepancies before the
final import.
