[cisco-voip] Unity 5.0 Installation

[Jason Aarons (US)]

Correct. Active Voice was a bunch of Microsoft experts wanting to unify
voicemail with Outlook for corporations. When Cisco bought them the
IBM/Cisco relationship brought Lotus Notes support into the picture.

I would consider changing products to Unity Connection 2.x if they don't
use Outlook/Exchange.

Subject: [cisco-voip] Unity 5.0 Installation

Hello, everyone.

I'm installing Unity 5.0(1) Voice Messaging with MS Exchange 2003/2000
(without failover) as shown in the Cisco doc. I don't want to use
Unified Communication, just voice-mailboxes, but this is the closest
document I've found to install Unity without any kind of integration. My
customer doesn't have any MS windows machine so no AD and no MS Exchange
servers (nor Lotus either).
Even if I just need voice messaging it seems I have to use MS AD and
Exchange (or Lotus), is that right? My first thought was to promote the
7825 server to Domain Controller but the document says that if I'm
running MS Windows 2003 server (and this is the case) I shouldn't do
that, and add the Unity Server to an existing domain.
Anyway I managed to promote the server but when I reached the point to
extend the AD Schema for MS Exchange, I get an error, and cannot
continue.
Is there a simpler way to install Unity just for Voice-Messaging with no
MS Exchange/Lotus integration?
If not, is mandatory to use another server to be the Domain Controller
of the domain or can I use the Unity server instead?
My Unity License is: UnityU5-100USR-E
Installing on: MCS-7825-I3

Thanks and regards.

Manuel.
