You can also set the Telephone Directory entry option "Include in Phonebook" to no, that will remove that entry from the phonebook in case you only want to offer a limited number of entries. Would also work for the 69xx series sets.
Does this have to be done with every extension? We have 700+ extensions.
Yes, but you could do an export, change the field, then import. Test this on a small number of entries first before attempting it with your entire directory.
There may also be an easier way:
- Check System Options and note what is assigned for "LDAP Client Configuration Profile ID #1" and "LDAP Client Configuration Profile ID #2"
- Under "Integrated Directory Services", go to "LDAP Client Configuration"
- For the profile members referenced in System Options, change "Client Status" to "Disabled". This should prevent lookup requests from connecting to the LDAP server (in this case, the MiVB)
- Alternately, you could make the change to unused profile numbers, then change the assignment in System Options
