Installing the Operating System
In this chapter, you do the following tasks in the order listed:
1. 
Install Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server. See the "Installing Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server" section.
2. If you did not install Windows by using the Cisco Unity Platform Configuration discs: Set up a logical drive for the Bridge software. See the "Setting Up the Logical Drive for the Bridge Software" section.
When you are finished with this chapter, return to "Overview of Mandatory Tasks for Installing the Cisco Unity Bridge" to continue installing the Bridge correctly.
Note The tasks in the overview list reference detailed instructions in the Cisco Unity Bridge Installation Guide and in other Bridge documentation. Follow the documentation for a successful installation.
Installing Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server
The compact discs you use to install Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server depend on whether the Bridge server was purchased from Cisco:
Using the Platform Configuration Discs (Windows 2000 Server Only)
Do the procedure in this section if the Bridge server was purchased from Cisco. Otherwise, see the "Using the Manufacturer's Guided System-Setup Utility and a Retail Windows 2000 Server Disc" section.
A Bridge server purchased from Cisco is shipped with Platform Configuration discs that contain a utility to install Windows 2000 Server by restoring an image that is customized for the platform. The image includes the required Windows 2000 components, subcomponents, and service packs.
Installing Windows 2000 Server by using the Platform Configuration discs reduces installation time and ensures that the required operating system and components, drivers, and service packs are installed and configured correctly. In addition, the logical drive for the Bridge software is set up automatically.
Caution Do not attach the network cable to the server until the latest recommended Microsoft service packs and updates are installed. The
Cisco Unity Bridge Installation Guide alerts you when to install the service packs and updates, and when to connect to the network later in the installation process.
To Install Windows 2000 Server by Using the Platform Configuration Discs
Step 1 Start the Bridge server, and insert the Cisco Unity Platform Configuration CD in the CD-ROM drive.
Step 2 When the main menu appears, press Enter to start the installation program.
Step 3 Follow the on-screen prompts until you are prompted to select a licensing mode.
Step 4 Click Per Seat, and click Next.
Step 5 Enter a name of 15 or fewer characters for the Bridge server (netBIOS name). Use only alphabetical characters from A to Z and a to z, numerical characters from 0 to 9, and hyphens (-).
Caution Using other characters in the server name is not supported by DNS.
Step 6 Specify and confirm a password, then click Next.
Step 7 Follow the on-screen prompts until the Network Settings dialog box appears.
Step 8 Click Typical Settings, and click Next.
Step 9 In the Workgroup or Computer Domain dialog box, click No, This Computer Is Not on a Network, or Is on a Network Without a Domain.
If the Workgroup or Computer Domain box is empty, enter a workgroup name. The Cisco Unity Bridge Installation Guide alerts you when to, optionally, join a domain later in the installation.
Step 10 Click Next.
Step 11 Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
Step 12 When the Windows 2000 Configure Your Server dialog box appears, click I Will Configure This Server Later, and click Next.
Step 13 Uncheck the Show This Screen at Startup check box, and close the window.
Using the Manufacturer's Guided System-Setup Utility and a Retail Windows Server 2003 Disc
If you want to install Windows Server 2003, do the three procedures in this section.
The server manufacturer provides a disc that contains utilities for several setup tasks, including guiding the installation of Windows Server 2003 from a retail disc.

Caution Installing Windows Server 2003 in any language other than English is not supported.
Caution If Brooktrout TR114 voice-fax cards are installed in the Bridge server or an expansion chassis, you must install Windows 2000 Server. Windows Server 2003 is not supported.
Caution Do not attach the network cable to the server until the latest recommended Microsoft service packs and updates are installed. The
Cisco Unity Bridge Installation Guide alerts you when to install the service packs and updates, and when to connect to the network later in the installation process.
