WebEx offers corporations a free Active Directory plug in that uses Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) to allow your active directory to talk to WebEx. When you look at the WebEx site, it looks pretty easy. Install the SharePoint system, add some web parts, configure ADAM, run the batch import, and all of your users are ready to go with WebEx accounts.
This is totally, completely, and utterly FALSE. The WebEx integration tools are UTTER CRAP.
The ADAM component will not read any user account that is not the in default "user" container. So, if you use any intelligent Active Directory design, then the WebEx components will not import users.
The ADAM component and built in batch import have different restrictions than the WebEx site. There are different user name requirements, password requirements, and e-mail address requirements are different from the WebEx site.
If WebEx tries to sell you this as solution, tell them to take a hike.
