Creating the Accounts Required for the Cisco Unity Installation

Creating the Accounts Required for the Cisco Unity Installation

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

Step 1 On the Cisco Unity server, log on to Windows by using an account that is a member of the Domain Admins group.

Step 2 On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Microsoft Exchange > Active Directory Users and Computers or click Programs > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.

Step 3 In the left pane, expand the domain, right-click Users or the organizational unit where you want to create the installation account, and click New > User.

Step 4 Follow the on-screen prompts to create the installation account. Creating an Exchange mailbox is optional.

We suggest that you use the following names for the accounts:

Installation

UnityInstall

 

 

Administration

UnityAdmin

 

 

Account that Cisco Unity directory services log on as (directory services

UnityDirSvc

account)

 

 

 

Account that Cisco Unity message store services log on as (message store

UnityMsgStoreSvc

services account)

 

 

 

Step 5 Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 to create the Cisco Unity administration account, the directory services account, and the message store services account.

Ensure that for the accounts that Cisco Unity services log on as, the password will never expire. If the password expires, Cisco Unity will stop working the next time the server is restarted.

Step 6 Close Active Directory Users and Computers.

Adding the Cisco Unity Administration Account to the Local Administrators Group

Note If you did not create a Cisco Unity administration account in the “Creating the Accounts Required for the Cisco Unity Installation” section on page 7-3, skip this section.

Add the Cisco Unity administration account to the local Administrators group on the primary and secondary Cisco Unity servers.

To Add the Cisco Unity Administration Account to the Local Administrators Group

Step 1 On the Cisco Unity server, on the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Administrative Tools >

Computer Management.
