Chapter 7 Creating Accounts for the Installation and Granting Permissions

Creating the Accounts Required for the Cisco Unity Installation

The Account Used to Install Cisco Unity

If you are installing more than one Cisco Unity server in a site, you can use the same account to install Cisco Unity software on all of the servers.

The Account Used to Access the Cisco Unity Administrator

When you install Cisco Unity, you are prompted to choose the Active Directory domain account that you want to use to access the Cisco Unity Administrator (the website used to perform most administration tasks). During installation, the account is automatically associated with a Cisco Unity subscriber whose class of service allows Cisco Unity Administrator access. (Later you can create additional Cisco Unity subscribers who also can access the Cisco Unity Administrator.)

By default, the Cisco Unity administration account is the installation account. If you prefer to use an account other than the installation account to be the first Cisco Unity administration account, create an additional domain account for that purpose.

When the Cisco Unity server is a domain controller, the Cisco Unity administration account must be a member of the Domain Admins group. When the Cisco Unity server is a member server, the Cisco Unity administration account must be a member of the local Administrators group. Procedures later in this chapter explain how to add the account to the applicable group.

The Accounts That Cisco Unity Services Log On As

During Cisco Unity installation, you are prompted to choose two domain accounts that Cisco Unity services log on as:

•The account that Cisco Unity directory and message store services log on as. Directory services keep subscriber data in the directory synchronized with subscriber data in the Cisco Unity SQL Server database. Message store services allow subscribers to send and receive voice messages by using the telephone user interface.

•The account that local services log on as. By default, local Cisco Unity services log on as the Local System account. We recommend that you not change this.

Creating the Accounts Required for the Cisco Unity Installation

The procedure in this section requires Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC). If the

Cisco Unity server is a domain controller, ADUC is already installed. If ADUC is not installed, do one of the following:

•Install ADUC on the Cisco Unity server. For information, refer to Windows Help.

•In the domain that includes the Cisco Unity server, go to a computer (for example, the domain controller) on which Active Directory Users and Computers is already installed.

To Create Domain Accounts for Cisco Unity Installation, Administration, and Services

Step 1 On the Cisco Unity server or another server where Active Directory Users and Computers is installed, log on to Windows by using an account that is a member of the Domain Admins group.
