UC Server administration is integrated with Active Directory® and managed from either an Active Directory® MMC snap-in or Objectworld UC Client^TM. The days of separate administration for users of your PBX, voice-mail, fax server and mail server are over. UC Server allows your IT staff to manage your business communications services using the same user accounts and security policies used in your Windows® environment, automatically, without any programming or special integration. Adds, moves, and changes become easy, and security policies become universal throughout the company. And with single user login, your users will never have to log into your business communications system separately.
