[cisco-voip] Installing Unity from MCS Hardware DetectionDiskSet?

[Matt Slaga (US)]

You should start your install using either Compaq Smartstart or IBM
Nettools to build out the base hardware and begin the windows
installation.

If I remember correctly, MCS 7815 is equivalent to IBM x200 series - IBM
drivers should work.

The unsupported devices included the network card, video card, usb
system and some other system components.

 

Thanks for the information.

Interesting.  What devices are showing unsupported that would be
necessary for Unity?  We really only need disk and network access...
Unless you go back to the 3.x days with USB/parallel dongles.

I believe the dialogic cards always show up as unsupported hardware, but
that is not an issue after drivers are installed.

customized how? tweaking of the TCP/IP stack, exclusion of certain files
and file types to preserve disk space, local security policy
modifications, ....

Wes,

 

Thanks for the reply.

I attempted an install from an MS Disk but so many of the devices showed
up in Device manage as unknown, I figured I could get a stable install
off the MCS disks.

I'll go back to the MS Disks and fight through it.

 

BTW: My understanding was that the MCS install was a vanilla install
with specific services disabled.

        What else makes it so different?

Disk Set?

the win-OS disks (2000.2.7, 2000.4.1, 2000.4.3) are for CM, PA, CRA, CER
only.  Unity is not supported with those OS disks.

Unity does have platform configuration disks that ship with a different
(full featured) version of windows.

You will need to use the windows install disk that comes with unity or
one directly from MS.

Has anyone installed Unity using the disk set for installing MCS
servers?

I have a customer that is providing the Windows Licensing for Unity but
when installing from their CD, the 7815 I'm installing for Unity shows
up with a load of unknown devices.

Is there anything installed (or not installed) with the MCS image
install that will screw Unity up and cause it not to work?
