Subject: [cisco-voip] Unity upgrade annoyance - VM ONLY<BR>
<BR>
We had a customer who was on a VM-only Unity 4.0(3), they got a new<BR>
server and we upgraded them to 5.0<BR>
<BR>
We find out after the fact that they were using IMAP to talk to<BR>
another Unity server in the network. This feature was pulled from<BR>
Unity in 4.0(5) and customers were advised to purchase a VPIM license<BR>
($8500 per node)<BR>
<BR>
The customer was pissed.<BR>
<BR>
So, what we are planning on doing is blowing away the other Unity<BR>
server and joining it to the stand-alone domain of the Unity 5.0<BR>
server.<BR>
<BR>
Here are the steps I am planning:<BR>
<BR>
Backup Existing Unity 4.0(3)<BR>
Pull Hard Drive<BR>
Upgrade existing Unity to 4.2<BR>
Backup<BR>
Pull Backup from box<BR>
Install Windows 2000 Server on Unity<BR>
Join to the Unity 5.0 domain<BR>
DcPromo to make it a DC<BR>
Install Exchange 2003<BR>
Install SQL 2000<BR>
Install Unity 4.2<BR>
Restore Backup<BR>
<BR>
Now, my question is this.<BR>
<BR>
If I have two Unity servers (5.0 and 4.2) in the same domain, using<BR>
the same message store, how would users send vmails to each other (on<BR>
different servers)? Is there any special licensing or will the Unity<BR>
servers just find each other? Any special configuration? Any gotchas?<BR>
Should I be fearful for my career?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
