Introduction
Note: This document is part of a set of documents that explain how to determine which Cisco Unity installation option is correct for your network. These documents also explain how to install the correct Cisco Unity option in your network. These documents are intended to be used for new Cisco Unity installations only. If you want to upgrade or otherwise change an existing Cisco Unity configuration, refer to the correct online product documentation for Cisco Unity.
Note: These documents do not explain how to integrate your Cisco Unity server with your phone system or how to configure your Cisco Unity server. Once you have completed the initial Cisco Unity installation, you are referred to the online product documentation for further instructions. Refer to the Next Steps section on the Index page.
Note: This document set is written for networks that run a Windows 2000 server.
Note: Return to the Index page for this documentation set.
This document explains how to create a Cisco Unity server with the use of SQL and Exchange 2000 that you can use as a plain old voice mail (POV) system or as a unified messaging (UM) system. It applies to installations where there is a single Cisco Unity server which runs all of the required applications. If you are not certain that this is the appropriate document for your environment, refer to Cisco Unity 3.1(6) Installation Guide: Selecting the Correct Installation Options.

Note: This configuration is not suitable for a server that you use for Fail Over.
Caution: This configuration assumes that you do not plan to connect this server to a network with an existing Active Directory or Exchange Environment. It is possible to cause problems with an existing Active Directory environment with the introduction of a server that runs Active Directory that has not been configured properly to participate in the existing Active Directory environment. If you decide to connect this server to your network, be aware of the implications and deal with them accordingly. Consider using one of the other configuration options. Refer to Cisco Unity 3.1(6) Installation Guide: Selecting the Correct Installation Options.

For information on creating a custom mailbox store, refer to Exchange System Manager Help. You configure Cisco Unity to use the mailbox store during the Cisco Unity Setup program.
Task 5: Install Cisco Unity
If you plan to use the Windows Administrator account for the installation of Cisco Unity and own the services, proceed to the Set Active Directory Permissions for the Cisco Unity Installation, Service, and Administration Accounts section of this document.
Understand the Cisco Unity Installation, Service, and Administration Accounts
You have the option to either use the Administrator account to install, administrate, and own the services for Cisco Unity or create your own unique accounts for these functions. You can create one, two, or three new accounts for Cisco Unity depending on your requirements. The individual Cisco Unity functions that can be assigned to accounts are:
-
Installing Cisco Unity.
-
Owning the Cisco Unity services.
-
Administrating Cisco Unity.
Typical configurations are:
-
A separate account for each function.
-
One account for the installation of Cisco Unity and ownership of the services, and a second account for the administration of Cisco Unity.
-
One account that handles all three functions.
The Cisco Unity Permissions Wizard quickly and easily configures the required permissions for the account, or accounts, that you create.
Installation Account
The Cisco Unity Setup program creates a number of Cisco Unity objects in Active Directory and in Exchange. The installation account, with which you log on to install Cisco Unity, must have proper security access to perform the necessary operations. The Permissions Wizard grants the required access privileges.
Service Account
By default, most Cisco Unity services are owned by the local system account when you use Exchange 2000. If you prefer that an account with fewer permissions own the services that Cisco Unity uses to interact with Exchange, you can create a separate service account and specify it during the Cisco Unity Setup program.
Administration Account
By default, the installation account is automatically associated with the Cisco Unity account named Installer, which has the right to administer Cisco Unity.
If you prefer to have a different account associated with the Installer account and thus have the right to administer Cisco Unity, you can create a separate administration account and specify it during the Cisco Unity Setup program.
Create the Cisco Unity Installation, Service, and Administration Accounts
This procedure and those on setting rights and permissions in this document, assume that you have access to Active Directory Users and Computers either because you use Exchange 2000 or because the Cisco Unity server is the domain controller.
-
Log onto the Cisco Unity server using the AD Domain Administrator account, not the local Administrator for the Cisco Unity server.
-
From the Windows Start menu, select Programs > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers or, select Programs > Exchange > Active Directory Users and Computers.
-
In the left pane, right-click Users or the organizational unit where you want to create the installation account, and select New > Users.
-
Follow the on-screen prompts.
Note: The creation of an Exchange mailbox is optional.
Note: Do not select the option User Must change password at next logon.
Note: Cisco recommends that you select the Password never expires option.
-
In order to create Cisco Unity service and administration accounts, repeat steps 2 through 4 for each account.
-
Close Active Directory Users and Computers.
Assign the installation and service accounts necessary rights and permissions in the sections that follow.
Set the Active Directory Permissions for the Cisco Unity Installation, Service, and Administration Accounts
The Cisco Unity Permissions Wizard available on Cisco Unity CD 1 assign the required Active Directory permissions for the account, or accounts that you use for Cisco Unity. The Permissions Wizard cannot assign the required Exchange permissions for the Cisco Unity administration account that you used. You must do this manually. The Permissions Wizard instructs you on how to do this.
Note: If you have access to the Internet, it is recommended that you download the latest version of the Permissions Wizard Program and Readme file from Cisco's Software Center. This requires a valid Cisco.com account.
-
Log onto the Cisco Unity server using the AD Domain Administrator account, not the local Administrator for the Cisco Unity server.
-
Insert Cisco Unity CD 1 into your CD-ROM drive.
