[cisco-voip] Official Procedure for OS Updates to Unity?

[Leetun, Rob]

So I can run the latest wizard and it will bring my Unity server up to
date with all the patches or do I need to start the wizard just above
the latest patch on the server?  Thanks.

 

Cheers

 

Rob

Funny I was just looking into this.  There is this on Cisco's site:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/updates/wizard/2009c
uupwz.html

In part it answers your question:

We (Cisco) review the (MS) list and, if the updates are sufficiently
important, create a new wizard. (On average, we create a new wizard
about every two months.) The new wizard includes the existing updates
from previous versions and the new updates that are applicable to any of
the servers

 

If you can just patch directly from MS or what might be the best
practice I don't believe is answered in that doc.

 

Thanks

We are running Unity 7.0.2 on 7835H1 servers and we have been using the
Unity Server Updates Wizard for the past two years.  Some on our network
team believe that it's OK to automatically download the "regular" OS
patches from Microsoft.  If so, what is the point of the wizard?  Is
there official documentation from Cisco which decides "best practices"?
Thank you!
