Generating Answer File for Unattended Installation

You can generate answer files using Cisco Unified Communications Answer File Generator web application. To use the answer file during installation, you need to save the answer file to the root directory of a floppy diskette, browse to the file during installation, and leave the installation to complete.

In case of Unity Connection cluster:

•You need to generate separate answer files for publisher and subscriber servers.

•You are not required to enter details of the publisher server manually on the subscriber server during subscriber server installation.

Note The Cisco Unified Communications Answer File Generator supports Internet Explorer version 11.0 or higher and Mozilla version 28.0 or higher.
