How to Back Up Before Upgrading to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3

•When configuring services for your load balancing deployment, Release 5.3(333) and later requires that you configure the Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing service to log on as Administrator. This is in addition to the five other services required for Release 5.3(235). If you do not configure the Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing service to log on as Administrator, web conferencing will not start.
