When disabling the sinks, no check or booking is done on the Cisco TMS server, and the booking will only be done in Exchange.

Action User Permissions Reconfigure Account(s) from TMS
Description mailbox and calendar of the selected account. Used to fetch updated data from Cisco TMS for the selected accounts and update their displayed information in Exchange. This is particularly useful when systems change name or numbers in Cisco TMS. If this happens, selecting this option will update the Active Directory information for the selected accounts. Note: Due to Active Directory replication and Address Book generation, it may take some time before these changes are seen by Outlook users.
Remove AD User(s)
Permanently deletes the selected Active Directory account and mailbox from Active Directory and Exchange. Warning: This action completely removes the account not only from Cisco TMSXE Integration, but from Active Directory as well. Note that due to Active Directory replication and Address Book generation, it may take some time before these changes are seen by Outlook users.
Detach from Integration
Removes the selected account from being integrated with Cisco TMS by disabling the sinks and removing the custom attribute. Meetings created in Exchange for the account will no longer be synchronized with Cisco TMS or vise versa. The account will still be visible and usable by Exchange users as a normal Exchange resource account. This would be used to remove an account from Integration, but allow it to still be used in Exchange. This option looks at all future meetings in the resource's calendar and checks it against Cisco TMS. Any meetings not in Cisco TMS will be booked in Cisco TMS so Cisco TMS has the correct availability information for the account. If there is any issue creating a particular meeting in Cisco TMS, the meeting's organizer will receive an email describing the issue. This function is typically used when an existing resource in Exchange is updated with video support or staged in advanced installs. This does not replicate previously created meetings from the associated system in Cisco TMS to the Exchange account.
(Re)Book all meetings
Current Domain Controller This specifies which Domain Controller the Integration and Configuration Utility will communicate with for all of its Active Directory needs. The dropdown list will be populated with all domain controllers that it detects for the local domain. This selection is available as it allows you to control which domain controller handles the workload of all the queries from the Integration and it simplifies troubleshooting of replication as you know where the changes are initiated and read.
Start/Restart/Reactivate Synchronizer This button controls the starting of the synchronizer service which is responsible for replicating scheduling changes initiated in Cisco TMS's interfaces to the linked accounts in Exchange via a background service that runs on the Exchange Server. If the Synchronizer has not been told to start since installed, the button will be labeled Start Synchronizer, and clicking it will tell it to start processing scheduling changes in Cisco TMS from when Cisco TMS was first installed.
