Chapter 4 Installing the Operating System
Installing Windows 2000 Server by Using a Retail Windows Server 2000 Disc
• Format the operating system partition by using the NTFS file system.
• For regional settings, select a locale in the Your Locale (Location) list. The locale you select must
match one of the system-prompts languages that you will install for Cisco Unity. Note that
Cisco Unity Setup always installs the English (United States) system prompts.
For a list of supported system-prompts languages, refer to the “Available Languages for Cisco Unity
Components” section in the applicable version of Release Notes for Cisco Unity at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.
Caution If the locale you specify when you install Windows Server 2003 does not match any of the
installed Cisco Unity system-prompts languages, Cisco Unity will log errors in the event log
and may stop taking calls. The locale you select here must match the Cisco Unity
system-prompt language exactly. For example, if you choose English (United K ingdom) for
locale, you must also choose English (United Kingdom) as one of the Cisco Unity
system-prompts languages. Installing the system prompts for English (Australia) will not
work.
• Specify Per Seat for the licensing mode.
• When you enter a name (netBIOS name) for the Cisco Unity server:
–
If there is more than one Cisco Unity server in an Active Directory forest, give each Cisco Unity
server a name that is unique in the first 14 characters, or Cisco Unity will have problems
communicating with the Active Directory accounts that it creates. For example, the following
names would cause communication problems: CiscoUnitySrvr1 and CiscoUnitySr vr2.
–
Use only alphabetical characters A to Z and a to z, numerical characters 0 to 9, and hyphens (-).
Caution Using other characters in the server name is not supported by DNS.
• Do not join a domain. Instead, specify a workgroup. The Cisco Unity installation guide alerts you
when to connect to the network and when to join a domain later in the installation process.
