Hi Daryl,
In fact none of these 3 versions absolutely require a dedicated server. Here are the requirements;
Attendant Console 1.4
Server
• Any Cisco media convergence server (MCS) or third-party server platform certified to run Cisco Unified CallManager 4.1 and above; no separate server required for Cisco Unified Attendant Console
• Cisco Unified CallManager 4.1

Cisco Unified Business Attendant Console is supported on Cisco Unified Communications Manager Versions 4.3, 5.1, 6.0 and 6.1. Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express is not supported.
Server hardware requirements of the Cisco Unified Business Attendant Console follow:
• Pentium IV 1 GHz or better
• 1-GB RAM
• 80-GB hard disk drive
• 100/1000 network [[is that what you mean?]] card
• SVGA (1024 x 768) display card with correct drivers
• Sound card
• Windows 2000 or 2003 Server plus SP2 running Windows English Regional settings
The server software for the Cisco Unified Business Attendant Console can be installed to a dedicated hardware server or loaded on a desktop PC. For mission-critical installations, a dedicated hardware server is recommended because shutting off the PC server will cause the Cisco Unified Business Attendant Console to lose Cisco Unified Communications Manager connectivity.

The Cisco Unified Department Attendant Console can be installed to a dedicated hardware server or loaded onto a desktop PC. If the dedicated hardware server approach is used, up to five departments, each with 150 IP phones and two operator clients, can be supported with a single PC server. For mission-critical installations, a dedicated hardware server is recommended because shutting off the PC server will cause the Cisco Unified Department Attendant Console to lose Cisco Unified Communications Manager connectivity.
Hope this helps!
