Performing Post-Installation Tasks

Step 9 The Workgroup or Computer Domain windows display. If the server exists in a domain, Cisco requires that you place the server in a workgroup during the installation. To join a workgroup, perform the following procedure:

a.Click the No, this computer is not on a network, or is on a network without a domain radio button.

b.Enter a name of the workgroup, for example, WRKGRP. Make sure that you enter a workgroup name that differs from the computer name.

c.Click Next.

Step 10 After the installation completes, the server reboots. Log in to the server by using the administrative user name and password.

Step 11 The system checks for network transmission conflicts the first time that the server is started after the operating system is installed. If your server displays a message to this effect, click OK to remove the message. If you received an error message, correct the network conflict that the installation program detected, clear the System log under Event Viewer, and rerun the utility CheckNICDuplex.exe in the C:\utils folder to ensure that no more network conflicts exist.

Step 12 Install the operating system on every server in the cluster.

Step 13 After you complete the installation, configure network settings on each server in the cluster, as described in the “Configuring Network Settings” section on page 20.

Step 14 Refer to the Cisco Unified Communications application documentation for additional installation and configuration tasks. See Table 2 on page 5.
