CallManager, but we tried this once (perhaps we de-activated?), and all the

<DIV>I like the idea of :</DIV>

<DIV>1. <FONT color=#1f497d><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#000000

<BR> service on the servers</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Does it matter if this is done via CCM Control Center in
Serviceability to stop the CCM service and Service Activation to disable the
CCM service or can these actions be done under Win2k
Services? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Does the Call Manager service need to be running on a server during
an upgrade of the application or the OS?</DIV>

manual startup the CallManager <BR>service on the servers being

Change our Call Manager Groups so X & Y subs are the primary.<BR>4. Reset
all devices so they re-register to X & Y.<BR>5. Upgrade A, B, C, &
