Chapter 4 Installing the Operating System
Installing Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server
To Install Windows 2000 Server by Using the Manufacturer’s Guided System-Setup Utility and a Retail
Windows 2000 Disc
Step 1 Start the Cisco Unity server, and insert the manufacturer disc in the CD-ROM drive.
Step 2 Follow the on-screen prompts to install Windows 2000 Server from a retail disc.
You may be prompted to configure the RAID arrays. Note the following considerations:
• If the arrays have already been configured, do not change the configuration.
• If the arrays have not been configured, follow the prompts to configure them. Refer to the
manufacturer documentation.
Step 3 When applicable, make the following choices:
• Specify a partition size of 8 GB for the operating system.
• If you are installing Windows 2000 Server on the same partition where an operating system is
already installed, select and delete that partition.
• 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 languages that you will install for Cisco Unity. Note that the Cisco Unity
installation always installs English (United States).
For a list of supported languages, refer to Cisco Unity 4.0 System Requirements, and Supported
Hardware a nd Softw are at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_unity/sysreq/40_sysrq.htm.
Caution If the locale you specify when you install Windows 2000 Server does not match any of the
installed Cisco Unity 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 language exactly. For
example, if you choose English (United Kingdom) for locale, you must also choose English
(United Kingdom) as one of the Cisco Unity languages. Installing the Cisco Unity language
English (Australia) will not work.
• Specify Per Seat for the licensing mode.
• When you enter a name for the Cisco Unity server (netBIOS name), 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.
The server name must be 15 characters or fewer in length.
• 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.
