Does ABS directly modify AD, while applying normalization rules to phone numbers?
Answer – No, ABS does not directly modify AD with normalized phone numbers. Phone numbers in AD can be pre-normalized using a utility in the Live Communication Server 2005 SP1 resource kit. Please see the Communicator_Phone_Normalization_Scripts_Guide.doc, which is installed in the PhoneNormalization folder of the reskit. Administrators should also review the Office Communicator 2005 Telephony Planning and Deployment Guide when considering how to address phone number normalization in their deployments.
