Manual AD Cache Refresh

...

In addition to scheduled periodic AD Cache updates, the 

Spacevars

 allows you to refresh (update) the AD Cache manually. Subsequent updates are automatically performed at the interval specified in the Update Frequency field or the time specified in the First Update Time field, whichever occurs first.

Typically this feature is used to make user information available immediately after they are added to Active Directory, rather than wait for the automatic update, which might take as long as 30 days.

To Refresh the AD Cache:

  • Click the Refresh Cache text at the top of the Active Directory Configuration page.

titleSonus Ribbon SBC 1000/2000 Model Differences

If the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 system the

is rebooted during an Active Directory Server outage, the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 it will use its local AD cache for call routing purposes (post power up) if:

  • Sonus SBC 1000: an external USB storage drive is attached to the Sonus SBC 1000 main board. Without it, the local AD cache is purged between system reboots (and upgrades). In order to achieve a high level of resiliency, we recommend attaching an external USB drive to your Sonus SBC 1000 unit.
  • Sonus SBC 2000: Unlike the Sonus SBC 1000, the Sonus SBC 2000 model has built-in storage with reserved space for the Local AD cache to overcome this situation. No external storage is necessary.
