Chapter 5 Customizing the Cisco Unity Platform

Installing Active Directory or Adding the Cisco Unity Server to an Existing Domain

Installing Active Directory or Adding the Cisco Unity Server to an Existing Domain

The Cisco Unity server must be either a member server in an existing domain or a domain controller in its own domain. Cisco Unity interactions with the message store do not allow the server to be in a workgroup.

If the Cisco Unity server will be the only server in the domain, you must install Active Directory. However, because Active Directory is a very processor- and memory-intensive application, if you are adding the Cisco Unity server to an existing domain, we strongly recommend that you do not also install Active Directory on the Cisco Unity server. Instead, do the procedure in the “Existing Domain” section on page 5-16.

This section contains procedures for installing Active Directory on the Cisco Unity server and for adding the Cisco Unity server as a member server in an existing domain. Do the procedure that is applicable to your installation.

Do the following procedure to install Active Directory on the Cisco Unity server and make it a domain controller.

To Install Active Directory on the Cisco Unity Server

Step 1 Log on to the Cisco Unity server by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group. Step 2 On the Windows Start menu, click Run, then enter Dcpromo, and press Enter.

Step 3 Click Next.

Step 4 Follow the on-screen prompts. Consult the system administrator to determine how to set up the server. Step 5 If a DNS message does not appear, skip to Step 6.

If the message “The wizard cannot contact the DNS server” appears, troubleshoot DNS:

a.Click OK to dismiss the message.

b.Click Cancel to exit the Active Directory Installation wizard.

c.Troubleshoot the current DNS installation.

d.Return to Step 2 to start the procedure again.

Step 6 On the Completing the Active Directory Installation Wizard page, click Finish.

Step 7 Click Restart Now.
