12 If, in step 9, there were many conference room errors, try to determine the reason and fix it:
a Go to Reports > Conference Room Errors and verify that the time on the report is after the time
when you last completed step 7.
b Review the list of duplicate and invalid conference room IDs. Consider whether using a different
Active Directory attribute, increasing the conference room ID length, or editing the characters to
remove will resolve the majority of problems.
If there are only a few problems, they can generally be resolved by correcting invalid Active
Directory entries.
13 If necessary, repeat steps 4-9 and steps 11 and/or 12, modifying the integration parameters as
needed, until you get a satisfactory result.

Understanding Base DN
The Base DN field is where you can specify the distinguished name (DN) of a subset of the Active Directory
hierarchy (a domain, subset of domains, or organizational unit) to which you want to restrict the Polycom
RealPresence DMA system. It acts like a filter.
The diagram below illustrates how choosing different Base DN values affects which parts of a forest are
included in the directory integration.
