Hi,
My customer wants to replace the unity server installed with Unity 4.0 build 4.0(4) SR1 for voicemail(exchange 2000 as the message store).
Has anybody done it?What are the steps/risks involved?
Is there any document available(any url?)
Thanks

Hi,
I've attached the installation guide from Cisco:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/404/installation/guide/ex/ex.html
This is for Unity 4.0(4) integrated with Exchange..
The installation basically involves:
* extending the schema
* creating service accounts in AD and settings up Exchange
* Installing the OS and Unity software
* Re-importing or re-creating the Unity information
What version are you upgrading from?
I'll attach the link to Cisco Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide for Exchange which should help:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/42/upgrade/guide/ex/ex.html
Please rate useful posts..

Hi,
I am just doing a hardware replacement of the server, not the unity version upgrade.
the server is currently installed with
Unity Server Replacement-Unity 4.0 build 4.0(4) SR1.
Thanks

Sorry for the late reply.
If you're doing a hardware replacement you will still need the installation guide as the software and OS will need installing on the new MCS server.
You'll need all the installation disks as well, hopefully you have them?
Basically, you'll need to export all the data off the old server, build the new one and re-import everything. Or, you can do a fresh install.....

The best way is to do a DiRT back up and restore if your versions of Unity are the same.

COBRAS is also a good option.

Watch all the videos and read the help files.
Hope this helps and if you have question I will be monitoring.
