Automated End User/Handset Provisioning using the Bulk Administration Tool

When adding many handsets to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager it is beneficial to use
bulk provisioning in order to automate the handset creation process. The Bulk Administration Tool
allows you to import the user list and end user configuration from a CSV file in CUCM format into the
database.
The process of bulk provisioning handsets using the Bulk Administration Tool consists of the fol-
lowing four tasks:
Ensure activation of the bulk provisioning service
l
Creation of a bat.xlt containing all relevant user information.
l
Import of bat.xlt file containing the handset data using the Bulk Administration Tool
l
Creation of templates for inserting the handsets
