Users attempting to join a conference facilitated by an enhanced communication system employing a network communication protocol such as SIP and having a distributed architecture are enabled to request the conference through a numeric conference identifier. The conference directory identifier is assigned to an associated resource, rather than directly to a pool of resources in the communication system. If a pool is decommissioned, any conference directories with remaining data may be assigned to other pools, like users may be moved, to ensure continuity of the system.
