First I want to say thank you to everyone who responded. For the sake of anyone who might run across this in the future, I wanted to follow-up with how it went in my case. There were two options offered, my initial process and then one by NTEDave. NTEDave had the most ideal option in my case and it goes as follow:
Part I
1. Disconnect phone to be replaced
2. Open DB Programmer
3. Go to System\Devices & Feature Codes\Phone\Local (appropriate group)
4. Double click on the extension to replace
5. Double click on IP Settings
6. Double click on Network Configuration
7. Right click on MAC Address and clear
8. Enter new phone MAC Address
Part II
1. With old phone offline
2. Connect new phone
3. Should open with extension and settings (it does and it was awesome)
I have 17 locations and if all we're doing is replacing a phone four hours away, this is the way to go. My only challenge is if the end user can't assemble the phone and reconnect the handset and network cable. I'm 100% confident I can talk them through this and therefore confident this is better than the cost of travel.
