[cisco-voip] WebEx Meetings Server 2.0 OVA

[John Parduhn]

The upgrade took about six hours start to finish.  Thankfully I had an
early start to my maintenance window!  It easily could have been exhausting
if I had to start at 11pm.  I had HA set up, six servers total.  If you
know or know someone who understands ESX command line, I suggest you
involve them.  I was really happy to see the new server spin up as smoothly
as it did.

Any idea what MR1 is supposed to address?  We found a defect in
Productivity Tools that started in 1.5 that carried over.  If you change
your password due to domain security policies, the client sends too many
authentication requests resulting in account lockouts.
