3. Select Windows Start > Control Panel > Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options > Date

6. Connect the UC server to the LAN.
7. Add the UC server as a member of the customer’s network domain.
Verifying the Internet Connection
You need a public Internet connection to retrieve Windows software components.
Launch a browser from the server computer to make sure that you are able to connect to the Internet. If you
do not have an Internet connection, make sure there is one established before you proceed with the
installation.
Verifying the Operating System
To install the UC server, you must have one of the following operating systems installed on the server:
• Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (x86, x64)
(Deployment on Server Core or Hyper-V is not supported)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1, SP2
• Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 SP1 or later SP
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 or later SP
We recommend using a server operating system for all installations of UC server. While the client platform
mentioned above (Windows XP Professional SP2) is supported, it is designed by Microsoft for desktop
use, not server use. If you are using Windows XP, download and install the Microsoft Administration Tools
Pack from the Microsoft website.
Follow the Microsoft instructions for obtaining and installing Service Pack updates. Make
sure to include all Microsoft critical security updates to maintain the security of your
computers.
An open database connectivity (ODBC) database update is required in order for the UC
server to support Microsoft Office 2007. The components required are used by non-
Microsoft Office applications to read data from Office 2007 system files, such as the new file
extensions in Microsoft Office Access 2007 (mdb and accdb) and Microsoft Office Excel
2007 (xls, xlsx, xlsb). To download the required set of Data Connectivity Components, refer
to the Microsoft Download Center at www.microsoft.com/downloads.
