Security Issues
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-045
Cisco Unity servers are vulnerable to the types of attacks described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-045. This vulnerability allows an attacker to send a specially crafted packet request that causes denial of service on the target server and compromises the system.
To ensure that Cisco Unity is not affected, we strongly recommend that you download and install the patch from the Microsoft website.

New and Changed Functionality—Release 3.1(6)
This section contains information about new and changed functionality for Cisco Unity Release 3.1(6) only. Refer to the release notes of the applicable version for information about new and changed functionality in earlier versions of Cisco Unity. Release notes for all versions of Cisco Unity are available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.
Changing How Cisco Unity Handles Messages Interrupted by Disconnected Calls
You can change how Cisco Unity handles messages that are interrupted by disconnected calls as subscribers are in the process of sending, replying to, or forwarding messages. Calls can be intentionally or unintentionally disconnected—for example, when a subscriber hangs up or when a cell phone loses its charge or signal.
By default, Cisco Unity sends a message when the call is disconnected in the following circumstances:
By using the Advanced Settings Tool to change the registry, you can set Cisco Unity so that it will delete interrupted messages unless subscribers have pressed the # key to send their messages. Thus, if a call is disconnected before a subscriber has a chance to press #, Cisco Unity deletes the message rather than sending it.
How Cisco Unity handles a message interrupted by a disconnected call depends on the registry value you set:
Cisco Unity sends the interrupted message even if the subscriber has not pressed the # key.
Cisco Unity deletes the interrupted message unless the subscriber has pressed the # key.
The registry change is applied systemwide to all subscribers associated with the Cisco Unity server. You cannot make the change for an individual subscriber or a specific group of subscribers.
Note
Do the following procedure to change how Cisco Unity handles messages when calls are disconnected.

You do not need to restart the Cisco Unity software for the registry change to take effect.
Cisco Unity Conversation Available in Danish
The Cisco Unity conversation (the telephone user interface, or TUI) is available in Danish.
For information on making a Cisco Unity phone language available for use, refer to the "Multiple Languages" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide. The guide is available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_administration_guide_books_list.html.
Cisco Unity Permissions Wizard Is Required for New Installations, and an Additional Account Is Required for New Installations with Exchange 2000
When you do a new installation of Cisco Unity 3.1(6), you must create accounts for the installation and run the Cisco Unity Permissions wizard to give the accounts the necessary rights before you install Cisco Unity. If you are using Exchange 2000 for the message store, either alone or with Exchange 5.5, you must now create two accounts for Cisco Unity services—one for directory services and the other for message store services. The Permissions wizard will prompt you to specify an account for each type of service and does not allow you to specify the same account twice because the rights required by the two accounts conflict with one another. You cannot complete the Cisco Unity installation if you have not run the Permissions wizard.
For more information, refer to the sections "About the Accounts Required for the Cisco Unity Installation," "Creating the Accounts," and "Setting Rights and Permissions with the Cisco Unity Permissions Wizard" in the "Installing the Cisco Unity System" chapter of the Cisco Unity Installation Guide.
Customizing the Subscriber Conversation: Changing the Order for Addressing and Recording
The Cisco Unity subscriber conversation can be customized to change the order in which Cisco Unity prompts subscribers to address and record when they send or forward messages to other subscribers or distribution lists. By default, when a subscriber sends or forwards a message, Cisco Unity first prompts the subscriber to address the message and then prompts the subscriber to record the message or to record an introduction for a forwarded message.
By using the Advanced Settings Tool to change the registry, you can customize the subscriber conversation so that Cisco Unity prompts subscribers to record a message or introduction before prompting them to address it.
How Cisco Unity prompts subscribers to address and record when they send and forward messages depends on the registry value you set:
Cisco Unity records the message and then addresses it.
Cisco Unity addresses the message and then records it.
The registry change is applied systemwide to all subscribers associated with the Cisco Unity server. You cannot make the change for an individual subscriber or a specific group of subscribers. Finally, note that you cannot change the order in which Cisco Unity prompts subscribers to address and record when they reply to messages; Cisco Unity always prompts subscribers to record a reply before allowing them to add additional recipients.
Note
Do the following procedure to change the order in which Cisco Unity prompts subscribers to address and record when they send messages.
To Change the Order of Addressing and Recording When Subscribers Send Messages
Step 1

Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
You do not need to restart the Cisco Unity software for the registry change to take effect.
Customizing the Subscriber Conversation: Changing How Subscribers Confirm Message Addressing
The Cisco Unity subscriber conversation can be customized to alter how Cisco Unity prompts a subscriber to confirm message addressing. By default, when a subscriber addresses a message, Cisco Unity plays the recorded name and extension of the intended recipient (or, when there is no recorded name, Cisco Unity plays the extension instead) and asks the subscriber to confirm that the recipient is correct.
By using the Advanced Settings Tool to change the registry, you can customize how Cisco Unity prompts subscribers to confirm message addressing. Table 5 shows the confirmation prompts that subscribers hear during message addressing, depending on the registry value you set.
Note
The registry change is applied systemwide to all subscribers associated with the Cisco Unity server. You cannot change how Cisco Unity prompts an individual subscriber or a specific group of subscribers to confirm message addressing.
Note
Do the following procedure to change how subscribers confirm message addressing.

You do not need to restart the Cisco Unity software for the registry change to take effect.
Identified Subscriber Messaging Between Cisco Unity Servers
Identified subscriber messaging is fully functional between Cisco Unity 3.1(6) servers configured for Digital Networking. When identified subscriber messaging is enabled, Cisco Unity automatically identifies a subscriber who leaves a message during a forwarded internal call, based on the extension from which the call originated.
In other words, when a subscriber on one Cisco Unity server calls a subscriber on either the same Cisco Unity server or a different Cisco Unity server and leaves a message, Cisco Unity can identify the message as being from a subscriber. This means that:
•
•
•
In installations with networked servers running different versions of Cisco Unity, in order for identified subscriber messaging to work, all Cisco Unity servers must be running version 3.1(6).
Note that identified subscriber messaging between Cisco Unity servers is not enabled by default. To enable identified subscriber messaging between Cisco Unity servers:
•
•
For detailed information, see the "Enabling Identified Subscriber Messaging" section in the "Digital Networking" chapter of the Networking in Cisco Unity Guide available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_and_configuration_guide_books_list.html.
Intel Dialogic D/240 Voice Card
Fixes for caveats CDCdy68405, CSCdx25405, CSCdx83741, and CSCdw73457 resolve problems with port lock-ups, call collisions, and blind transfers on systems that use Intel Dialogic D/240 voice cards. Removal and reinstallation of the Dialogic software, a required step in the 3.1(6) upgrade process, is also required to implement these fixes.
Thread-Safe Audio Codec
The G.729a audio codec that ships with Cisco Unity has been upgraded to resolve caveat CSCae08069. The workaround described in this caveat is no longer necessary.
Installation and Upgrade Notes
For detailed information on upgrading to Cisco Unity version 3.1, refer to the Cisco Unity Installation Guide, Release 3.1, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_guides_books_list.html.

Cisco Unity Phone Conversation System Prompts
System prompts are standard recordings that come with the Cisco Unity system, and they cannot be changed by using the Cisco Unity Administrator, the ActiveAssistant, or the phone conversation. System prompts are played in different combinations in multiple places in the phone conversation. All system prompts are located in the CommSvr\Localize\Prompts directory and subdirectories.
Do not delete system prompts, as this can cause system errors.
Customizing system prompts is not supported. All system prompts are automatically deleted and replaced whenever you upgrade Cisco Unity, including the installation of maintenance releases.
Exchange 2003: Do Not Run Forestprep to Begin an Exchange Upgrade
Caution
Failover and AMIS: Restriction Table Selection Is Not Automatically Replicated Between Servers
On a system set up for Cisco Unity failover, when you change the restriction table to be used for outgoing AMIS calls, the table selection on the primary server does not replicate to the secondary server. You must manually select the same AMIS restriction table on the secondary server. (Note that the settings on the restriction table itself replicate.) You specify the AMIS restriction table in the Cisco Unity Administrator on the Network > AMIS Options page.
Physical Storage and Disk Configuration for Cisco Unity
Physical storage and disk configuration recommendations for Cisco Unity, including the use of RAID, have been updated. Refer to White Paper: Physical Storage Best Practices for Cisco Unity with Microsoft Exchange, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_technical_reference_list.html.
Upgrade Effect on Diagnostic Traces and the Dialogic Quiet Parameter
Diagnostic traces that were set before an upgrade are not preserved and must be reset after the upgrade.
The Dialogic quiet parameter is preserved in an upgrade only if the voice card software is not reinstalled during the Cisco Unity Setup program. If the Install Voice Card Software check box is checked during Setup, the quiet parameter will be lost and must be reset after the upgrade.
Upgrading from Cisco Unity Version 2.x
Customers with Cisco Unity versions earlier than 2.3(4.104) must get a new system key to run Cisco Unity version 3.1.
Customers with Cisco Unity version 2.3(4.104) or later need an activation code to upgrade the system key during the Cisco Unity Setup program.

Limitations and Restrictions
Dual NICs
Cisco Unity is qualified for dual network interface cards (NICs) configured only in adapter fault-tolerant mode (AFT is the abbreviation used by Dell and IBM), which is also known as network fault-tolerant mode (NFT is the abbreviation used by Hewlett-Packard). The supported configuration is one NIC designated as primary and the other as secondary, with a single IP address (the NICs do not have individual IP addresses) and both cards connected to the same network. The configuration uses currently supported hardware and applies to all shipping versions of Cisco Unity.
Failover and the Cisco Unity Bridge
When the Cisco Unity server is configured for failover, the Cisco Unity subscriber directory is not synchronized with the Bridge directory while the secondary server is active. When the primary server becomes active again, synchronization resumes automatically. Enhanced failover provides for replication of subscriber data between the primary and secondary Cisco Unity servers, so existing directory information will be available to subscribers no matter which server is active.
When the secondary server is active, subscribers on Cisco Unity and the Octel system can still send and receive messages, but changes to Cisco Unity subscriber accounts will not be replicated to the Bridge immediately. (For example, if you add subscriber accounts on the active secondary server, this information is not replicated to the Bridge until the primary becomes active again.)
Search Scope for Inbound Messages from the Cisco Unity Bridge
The search scope for a matching subscriber extension for inbound messages sent via the Bridge from an Octel user is set to the global directory. There is no way to limit the inbound search scope to either a dialing domain or to the local Cisco Unity server. This limitation is relevant to large organizations that use dialing domains to manage duplicate subscriber extensions.
When a message from the Bridge is received by the Voice Connector, the Voice Connector searches the global directory for a matching subscriber extension. If more than one extension is found, the message is not delivered. The Voice Connector logs an error to the Windows Application Event Log and sends a non-delivery receipt to the sender.
Search Scope for the Cisco Unity Visual Messaging Interface Address Book
The Cisco Unity Visual Messaging Interface (VMI) address book does not allow subscribers to search for subscribers associated with other Cisco Unity servers within a dialing domain or in the global directory, regardless of the settings specified on the Network > Primary Location > Addressing Options Page in the Cisco Unity Administrator. Instead, the Cisco Unity VMI address book contains only subscribers who are associated with the local Cisco Unity server. For more details, refer to caveat CSCdx00462. (If you have an account with Cisco.com, you can use Bug Toolkit to find caveats of any severity for any release. Bug Toolkit is available at the website http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl.)
Subscriber Lookups Fail to Find Subscriber Names in Japanese
When a subscriber name is entered in Japanese on the Add Subscriber Page in the Cisco Unity Administrator on a fully localized Japanese version of Cisco Unity, callers cannot find the subscriber name by using directory assistance (pressing 555).
In addition, subscribers cannot easily address messages to a subscriber with a Japanese name in spelling mode; instead, subscribers should address messages by using the subscriber extension.
When a subscriber name is entered in English on the Add Subscriber Page in the Cisco Unity Administrator on a fully localized Japanese version of Cisco Unity, callers can find subscriber names by using directory assistance, and subscribers can use spelling mode to address messages to other subscribers. For more details, refer to caveat CSCdv63037. (If you have an account with Cisco.com, you can use Bug Toolkit to find caveats of any severity for any release. Bug Toolkit is available at the website http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl.)
Text to Speech Does Not Play Name in From Field
By design, when subscribers listen to their e-mail messages by using the Cisco Unity phone conversation, the text-to-speech (TTS) feature does not "read" the name in the From field to subscribers. Thus, if the message is from someone who is not a Cisco Unity subscriber, the Cisco Unity conversation does not indicate who sent the message. However, when a message is from a Cisco Unity subscriber, the Cisco Unity conversation plays the name (if one is recorded) or extension for that subscriber.
The design allows better TTS performance, and has worked as described since Cisco Unity 2.4(6). For more information, refer to caveat CSCdx95644.

Users are unable to open the Cisco Unity Administrator, and an error is displayed that the subscribers account is not associated with a Cisco Unity subscriber account. This can happen when Cisco Unity looses network connection to the DC or GC. The same behavior is observed if Unity looses network connection with a domain controller in an NT domain. This can also happen if the AvCsMgr process stops for some reason.

A Cisco Unity server may unregister one or more ports via the TSP connection to Cisco CallManager. The port unregister is initiated by Cisco Unity. The following error is displayed repeatedly in the TSP trace just before Unity unregisters the port:
CAvTapiLine:NewCall dwReason 4.
CAvTapiLine:NewCall: Previous call not deallocated.
Any Cisco Unity 3.x version using a version 6 or prior TSP connection to Cisco CallManager can experience the behavior when requests to off-box Exchange servers are delayed. The port disconnect occurs when an outstanding request to an Exchange server by a prior call never returns the requested data. Any call that request service on the same port will subsequently initiate the TSP disconnection from Cisco CallManager.
Workaround
The 7.0(1) and later TSP will disconnect the port until the failing request completes. A TSP upgrade is recommended where the port disconnect causes the next call to the same port to fail. The port will reconnect once the request (usually to a non-responsive Exchange server) has fully failed or completed. Any calls to this port during the disconnect period will forward to the next Cisco Unity port. This workaround will not correct the initial condition of a slow response from the message store.

With Cisco Unity, when the global catalog (GC) server that MAPI uses is down, or when MAPI is unable to connect with its designated GC server, messages may not be delivered.
Cisco Unity for Exchange uses MAPI to address and send messages. When Cisco Unity starts, it ensures the name of a GC server is present in its MAPI profile. MAPI uses the GC server to resolve the names of message recipients. When the GC server is down, MAPI does not automatically use another GC server for name resolution, so messages cannot be delivered.

A full restore of a Cisco Unity server is not working with Backup Exec 9.0. The server was running SQL Server 2000 and Exchange 2000, and was a domain controller and global catalog server. After the restore, Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) failed to start. Because Cisco Unity directory services (AvDSAD, AvGlobalCatalog, and AvDirChangeWriter) are dependant on MSMQ, they also failed to start.

<Path to the Active Directory user> was created, but the password specified could not be set. The account has been deleted.This problem was seen in Cisco Unity 3.1(5) with an offbox Exchange 2000 partner server that is also a domain controller (DC).
Workaround
On the system in which the problem was observed, the administrator modified the display name of an existing Active Directory user using another tool. After that, subscribers could be added via the Cisco Unity Administrator. It is unknown at this time if connecting to Active Directory really did provide a workaround.

Should not allow deleting an object that is a destination of links. Symptom: When Cisco Unity administrator tries to delete an object (call handler, subscriber, etc.) that is a destination of links in the System Administration, the delete object screen should not delete the object but it does. This results in creation of links that do not have their destination. Condition: This defect exists in Cisco Unity 3.0(1) or later.
Workaround
There is only a workaround for deleting subscriber objects. The Global Subscriber Manager tool available in Tools Depot has an option to delete subscribers.

Server rename post-SQL install and pre Unity config problematic. Symptom: Unity may fail to start after the Unity Configuration Setup is ran. Conditions: This can happen if the name of the Unity server is changed after SQL has been installed. Both Unity and MSSQL have a dependency on the name of the server.
Workaround
The workaround is to upgrade to Unity 3.1.5 or higher. To implement the fix, the following the following procedure must be performed in SQL after the servername has been changed: 1. Open query analyzer, and run the following commands: sp_dropserver <oldservername> GO sp_addserver <newservername>, local
2. Stop and start the SQL services. Once it restarts, use query analyzer and type in SELECT @@SERVERNAME Make sure that is the new servername
When SQL is installed, the SQL servername defaults to the NetBios name of the machine. If the NetBios name of the server is changed, the SQL servername does not change with the servername. When Unity creates the outside caller object, it uses the Unity_<SQL servername> account to create the account in Exchange/NT. However, when Unity tries to log on to this account, it does not use the Unity_<SQL servername>, it uses Unity_<NetBios servername> and fails. In short, if SQL servername does not equal the NetBios servername, Unity will not start.

Sentinel driver doesn't install through WTS causing setup to fail. Symptom:The following error message is displayed while installing Unity 3.1(4) on a clean system through terminal services: While trying to install the Sentinel System Driver, Windows Installer returned a failure code: 3 The Unity setup cannot continue. Conditions: This occurs with Unity version 2.X and 3.X when attempting to install using Window Terminal Services.
Workaround
The Sentinel system driver cannot be installed by using Terminal Services. Install the driver by doing the following procedure on the Cisco Unity server before you run the Cisco Unity Setup program. To install the Sentinel system driver before you run Cisco Unity Setup by using Terminal Services. Step 1 On the Cisco Unity server, insert Cisco Unity Disc 1 in the CD-ROM drive. Step 2 Browse to the Security Key Setup directory. Step 3 Double-click SentinelSystemDriver.msi. Step 4 Follow the on-screen prompts to complete installation of the Sentinel system driver. Once completed, re-run Unity setup.

Make messages in the Tempu.Log file more understandable. Symptom: Make messages in the Cisco Unity tempu.log file more intuitive. Condition: The tempu.log file is overwritten during every upgrade or running of the Cisco Unity Setup and the Message Store Configuration Wizard. There should be an archived log that's kept for *every* install/upgrade done to a single Cisco Unity system. This way TAC can tell if a Cisco Unity system setup was the result of a 3.1.1-to-3.1.4 version upgrade, a 3.1.1-to-3.1.3-to-3.1.4 version upgrade, or a fresh install. There currently is no mechanism to do this.

Whenever the last port on each Dialogic D240T1 voice card is configured for outgoing notification the last port locks up on the first outdial. Lock up means the port enters the busy state and never exits. The only way to get the ports to exit the busy state is to reboot Unity. Attempting to reset the port from the SA or Status Monitor results in the SA and Status Monitor hanging. These utilities must then be terminated from the Task manager.
Conditions: Unity 3.1.3 on Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5. with a PBX integration and D/240T-1 cards.
Workaround
Line coding on the Intecom T1 card should be set to AMI rather than B8ZS. If AMI line coding is used and problem persists, disable the last port or configure it to only answer incoming calls.

Upgrade to 3.1(5) error: Fail to register commserver services. Symptom: An upgrade from Unity 3.0(3) to Unity 3.1(5) may fail with the following chain or errors: First error: Setup; Fail to register commserver services. Followed by the same error again: Setup; Fail to register commserver services. Followed by the error: Setup; The installation is not complete. You should run this setup procedure again in its entirety.
Workaround
There is no workaround to avoid the chain of errors. Should the chain of errors occur, the installer should reboot the server and re-run setup. It is unlikely that the chain of errors will occur twice.

Fail to create new user; error Templates CallHandler not found. Symptom: Templates Call handler error appears when trying to created new Cisco Unity subscribers. Condition: Often when customers have difficulty creating Cisco Unity subscribers, the default mail user template is disassociated with the default subscriber call handler. The result is that the customer gets the following error when adding users: Templates CallHandler not found
Workaround
DBWalker 3.0.46 has an option to recreate the default templates. This option may be present in prior versions of DBWalker. To select this option, go to File > Recreate Subscriber Templates. By selecting this option, dbWalker will delete the {Default Subscriber} and {Default Administrator} subscriber templates and their corresponding primary call handlers and recreate them from scratch using the same construction script that the Unity setup uses during installation. This script does not create, remove or edit any other types of objects other than the two default subscriber templates and their primary call handlers.

Unity does not prevent deletion of call handler message recipients. Problem: When deleting a subscriber or distribution list, Unity makes no checks to verify that the deleted object is the message recipient for a call handler or interview handler. If it is, then CSCdx46851 is experienced.
Workaround
Once the object is deleted, the administrator should check the call handlers and interview handlers to verify that all message recipients are valid subscribers or distribution lists. Also, if deleting a subscriber object, the Global Subscriber Manager tool available in Tools Depot has an option to delete subscribers.

Unity setup does not reinstall/reregister missing services. Symptom: After an upgrade to 3.1.5, some functions of Unity may not operate properly. For example, text-to-speech doesn't work, messages from PSTN callers are never delivered, event notifications aren't working. Problem: The service responsible for that non-functioning feature is no longer registered. Unity attempts to reregister the service, but is unsuccessful and gives no reasons why. If text-to-speech isn't working, check to see if the AvTTSSvr service exists in the Services Administrative Tool. If messages from PSTN callers aren't being delivered, check for the presence of the AvUMRSyncSvr. If event notifications aren't working, look to see if AvGaenSvr is registered. The following app event log is a tell-tale sign this is what is happening: Event Type: Error Event Source: AvCsServices_MC Event Category: Error Event ID: 1093 Date: 11/15/2002 Time: 12:35:31 PM User: N/A Computer: EVOICE-UNITY4 Description: Gateway: Failed to open service [AvUMRSyncSvr] [hr = 0x00000424]. This will be displayed for each service that isn't registered.
Workaround
Manually reregistering the services restores functionality. Open a DOS prompt, move into the CommServer directory, and issue the following command (where <servicename> is the name of the service that has become unregistered). C:\CommServer> <servicename>.exe -service The command should return without any output. Check the Services Administrative Tool to verify the service is now registered and running.

Calls to subscribers from the operator forward to the opening greeting instead of the subscriber voice mail. This occurs when Cisco Unity is integrated with Nortel PBX via a PBXLink SMDI integration. Although this problem was discovered and worked around in Unity 3.1(4), it would apply to any version of Cisco Unity integrating with a Nortel phone system. Its also important in this scenario that the operator extension is 0.
Workaround
The solution to the problem is a change to the PBX Link Box using the following menu option: Configuration \ SMDI Option \ CPID Mask The CPID mask should be set to 10 zeros. Refresh it by typing 10 consecutive zeros and saving the change. This should re-initialize the placeholder and get rid of the blank spaces. This solution may require you to refresh the cpid mask twice. So if it does not work the first time, follow the above steps and do it a second time.

Greetings and spoken names should still be in the \commserver\streamfiles directory to reassociate with the user. If a large number of users will be affected by this, then a corrected SQL stored procedure should be obtained.

ExMon - Partial MAPI Notification outage breaks MWI. MWIs and Message Notification fail for a particular subscriber, and no MAPI table add or modified notifications are generated (Microtrace Exchange Monitor13) when a new message is left for the subscriber. Sometimes, delete notications are not generated for the subscriber, either. Conditions:Any Unity version; seen so far in Exchange 2000, but the possibility in Exchange 5.5 is unknown.
Workaround

procedure:

TUI transfer to phone number does not work. Symptom: Automatic calls transfer don't work for the new phone number entered. Conditions: A user logs in to Cisco Unity using phone. The user goes to the user settings and select option 2 to enter the phone number, which should be called, Unity saves the phone number. And it plays the prompt - your calls will be transferred to this new phone number. When you check in the SA for that subscriber, the phone number is saved but not enabled.
Workaround
This is expected behavior. The change on the phone will not automatically enable the transfer option. It is available so that folks can change it when the feature is already enabled.

Unistall does not remove Unity.mdf file. Symptom: Unity setup fails and Unity database unityDb is not created. Conditions: If Cisco Unity was uninstalled. The doesn't clean up the database file Unity.mdf and Unity.ldf. When we run the setup again, then the SQL script fails to create the database, as the file with same name already exists. The error is logged in the SQL output file. There is no indication in the tempu.log. We get errors later, when we try to create Unity objects, as the database is missing.
Workaround
Delete the database file Unity.mdf and Unity.ldf from the SqlServer data directory. Run Cisco Unity Setup again.

LogMgr should tolerate/report problems with reg diag grid. Cisco Unity won't start. There is event log error 1025 from AvCsServices_MS about Component ResourceManager initialize failed. This can be caused by corruption in the registry diagnostic grid under HKLM | SOFTWARE | Active Voice | AvLogMgr | 1.0 | Diagnostic Grid. The primary known cause is from using the SA to change diagnostics. (See defect CSCdw48240.)
Workaround
Repair the registry diagnostic grid by either upgrading to the same version, manually adding the keys back to the registry based on a known good system, or using the .rgs files to refresh the diagnostic grid.

Import Subscriber screen shows wrong MailServer and MailStore Info. Symptom: When we import a exchange user through SA. SA doesn't show the correct user Mail Server and MailStore information. Conditions: This can occur where there are multiple exchange servers and Mail stores.
Workaround
This is because SA doesn't get those properties from the user object from AD. That's why it shows the first found Mail Server and Mail Store. This field is grayed out. This is just for information display. SA doesn't make any changes to that. This just a cosmetic defect. The imported subscriber should have correct MailServer and Mail Store information.

If you unload a language from the TUI or GUI Language settings in the Cisco Unity Administrator, callers hear the failsafe conversation if either of these conditions exist:
The unloaded language was set as the default Cisco Unity language, and the operating system regional language was set to a language that is not supported on Cisco Unity.
Or
The unloaded language was explicitly set as the language to use, rather than the inherited language setting.
Workaround
Do not unload a TUI or GUI language that is set as the default Cisco Unity language, or one that is explicitly set as the language to use for a subscriber, call handler, or other Cisco Unity object.

Cannot address messages to Ex55 subscriber that doesn't have a SMTP add. Symptom: Unity 3.1.5 installation integrated with an existing exchange 5.5 server. If Unity imports an existing Exchange 5.5 user which doesn't contain a SMTP address, Unity subscribers will not be able to send a message to these subscribers. When attempting to send a message to a subscriber with a missing SMTP address, Unity gives the following error. sorry, this recipients mailbox does not exist. Conditions: Unity 3.x with an Exchange 5.5 integration
Workaround
Open the SQL subscriber table and replace the <null> with a space for the subscribers without an SMTP address. To change all subscribers at once, run the following SQL command: UPDATE Subscriber SET SmtpAddress = WHERE SmtpAddress IS NULL Further Problem Description: Unity does not need to check for the presence of the smtpAddress if the Unity system is E55 connected.

When a subscriber replies to a message via Telephone User Interface (TUI), if the call is disconnected before the subscriber confirms to send the reply message, the reply message is still sent. The problem happens even though the Subscriber Send Message Hang-Up action setting is configured so that Cisco Unity discards the message when the call gets disconnected before the subscriber confirms to send it.
The problem happens only if the call is disconnected while Cisco Unity is playing the invalid selection prompt: "Sorry. That is not a valid selection. Please try again."

The errors occur with Unity 3.1.x when the client has EOM provided version of Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1. Client computer opens IE and attempts to enter the default VMI URL: http://<servername>/web/vmi.
Further Problem Description:
EOM versions of Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 no longer have Microsoft Virtual Machine installed. VMI requires Java/Microsoft Virtual Machine be installed. This only affects 'new' installations of IE 6.0 SP1 or later. This is typical with new (EOM) client workstations with the OS and IE already installed.
Upgrading IE from older versions of IE will not uninstall Java/Microsoft VM. These clients are not affected.
Workaround
1) This problem does not exist in Unity server 4.0(1) or higher. Upgrade to 4.0(x).
2) Install IE 6.0 SP1 from Unity Installation CD pack. This version contains IE version that will install the Java/Microsoft Virtual Machine.

Unavailable port stalls MWI on other clusters. Observed with Unity 4.0.2 / TSP 7.0.2 (will be present in earlier versions). When integrating multiple Cisco CallManager clusters to one Cisco Unity system, if one of the Cisco CallManager clusters becomes unreachable (WAN failure, Cisco Callmanager outage, etc.), MWI notifications may be affected on the Cisco CallManager clusters that are still registered normally with Cisco Unity. In the Application Event Log many of the following warnings will be present:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: CiscoUnity_Miu
Event Category: Warning
Event ID: 526
Date: 4/10/2003
Time: 3:18:21 PM
User: N/A
Computer: ClusterB-CCM1
Description:
Cisco Unity had a problem while attempting to toggle an MWI. This can happen occasionally as part of normal operation, and the MWI request will be retried. If the MWI status remains unchanged for extended periods of time, or if there are many of these warnings from Cisco Unity in a short period of time, there may be an MWI misconfiguration or other problem. See the MWI section in the troubleshooting guide, and contact TAC for assistance if needed.Workaround
If the Cisco CallManager site is going to be down for a while, it may make sense to remove or to at least disable MWI on the Cisco Unity ports going to that cluster. If this step is performed, errors (Cisco Unity_Notifier, Event ID: 1041, no suitable port) will appear in the Applications log, but Cisco Unity will immediately try Cluster A. Once Cluster B is available again, the ports would need to be reconfigured for MWI notification again.

Message length does not correspond to COS. Symptoms: Default Subscriber COS greeting length was changed from 90 seconds to 250 seconds. Customer built a subscriber and used the Default subscriber COS. Then, the customer recorded a 200 second recording and saved it. When the customer played it back and it only kept/played 90 seconds worth Conditions: Many of the settings for subscribers in the SA, follows the class of service of the administrator that was logged onto the SA to make changes in subscribers COS. If the COS of the Administrator that was logged onto the SA to make a change in the COS of a bunch of subscribers, had a specific value for the greeting length, the effective greeting length in the COS for the subscribers that this Administrator modified can only be lower or equal to that specific value that this Administrator has in his/her COS. Greeting length value in COS for Administrator making changes to subscribers COS > or = Greeting length value in modified subscriber COS.
Workaround
Increase the COS greeting length for the Administrator up to the value that you want your subscriber COS, then change the subscriber COS, and finally, change the Administrator COS as you wish.

Location should not be announced if msg sender from same Dial Domain. Description: When a Unity Subscriber retrieves a voice message sent from a Subscriber on another Unity node within the same dialing domain, the sending Subscribers recorded name and Location is announced. Expected functionality is for only the Subscribers recorded name to be announced. Condition: This is reproducible with Cisco Unity version 3.1(5) with Digital Networking active on multiple Unity servers in the same dialing domain.
Workaround
Two system prompts may be edited to remove the conversation phrases heard after the subscribers name is announced. NOTE: Modifying system prompts on a Unity system will not create a permanent change to the conversation. If the Unity system is upgraded, customized system prompts WILL BE OVERWRITTEN. The change below will affect any subscriber that may be associated to a Location (i.e., AMIS, Internet Subscribers, etc.). This change is intended for Unity systems where only the Digital Networking feature is used. The conversation prompts heard before this change are: Message <x> sent from <Subscriber> at <Location> The conversation prompts heard after this change are: Message <x> sent from <Subscriber> The at prompt is found in the.\commserver\Localize\Prompts\ENU\AvSubMsgPlay directory.

Moving Cisco Unity Messaging System, UAmis, and UOmni Exchange Mailboxes: Cisco Unity System Administration Guide and Networking in Cisco Unity Guide
Information on moving Cisco Unity Messaging System, UAmis, and UOmni mailboxes was not included in the "Moving Subscriber Mailboxes" section of the "Maintaining Cisco Unity" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide, or detailed in the Networking in Cisco Unity Guide guide. See the "Moving Cisco Unity Messaging System, UAmis, and UOmni Exchange Mailboxes" section of these release notes.
Multiple Languages: Cisco Unity System Administration Guide
One of the languages installed on the Cisco Unity server must match the Windows operating system language (U.S. English, French, German, or Japanese.) Other languages may be installed as needed.
Moving Cisco Unity Messaging System, UAmis, and UOmni Exchange Mailboxes
The Unity Messaging System, UAmis, and UOmni mailboxes are special Exchange mailboxes with specific functions. From time to time, you may need to move the mailboxes to an Exchange server that is faster or has more disk space available, or you may want to move the mailboxes when you add new servers to your Exchange network.
You use the same procedures to move the Unity Messaging System, UAmis, and UOmni mailboxes that you use to move ordinary subscriber mailboxes in Exchange—but with a few extra steps to prevent problems that can occur after the special mailboxes are moved.
To avoid inadvertently moving the Unity Messaging System, UAmis, or UOmni mailboxes when you move a group of subscriber mailboxes, consider changing their Exchange display names so the mailboxes are more clearly identified to you or your site's Exchange administrator as requiring "special" treatment.
The following sections describe the mailboxes and how to move them correctly.
Unity Messaging System Mailbox
When an outside caller leaves a message for a subscriber, Cisco Unity gives the message to Exchange, which routes the message to the subscriber home server (if not the Cisco Unity server) and stores it in the subscriber mailbox. Such messages are identified as coming from the Unity Messaging System mailbox, which is homed on the Exchange server that Cisco Unity gives the message to, and has the display name Unity Messaging System.
For more information on the Unity Messaging System mailbox and its associated Exchange account, refer to the "Default Accounts" section in the "About Subscriber Accounts" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_unity/unity31/sag/index.htm.

Uninstalling Cisco Unity on the Secondary Server
Note
The uninstall process removes only enough of Cisco Unity so that it can be reinstalled. It does not completely remove all traces of Cisco Unity, so the next time you restart the Cisco Unity server, a message box may appear explaining that at least one service or driver failed during system startup. In addition, the Windows system and application event logs will contain several errors and warnings related to the uninstallation.
Note
Do the following five procedures in the order listed.

Installing a Cisco Unity Demonstration System
When you run the Cisco Unity Setup program on a server that does not have a system key attached, you are asked to confirm that you want to install Cisco Unity as a demonstration system. A demonstration system is a fully functioning version of Cisco Unity that has the limits noted in the "Limits on a Cisco Unity Demonstration System" section.
Note
The software for a demonstration system can be ordered online. The orderable demonstration system is the easiest way for you to get an entire set of compact discs, including third-party software (except Windows 2000 Server). It is available at http://www.cisco.com/order/apollo/configureHome.html. The part number is UNITY-10USR-2DEMO.
We strongly recommend that you install a demonstration system by using the software you receive when you purchase either the full version of Cisco Unity or the orderable demonstration system. Both include the versions of third-party products that Cisco Unity requires to function properly. Installations of demonstration systems frequently fail because the installer is using an unsupported version of third-party software.
Cisco TAC does not provide support for Cisco Unity demonstration systems.
Limits on a Cisco Unity Demonstration System
When you run the Cisco Unity Setup program on a server that does not have a system key attached, you are asked to confirm that you want to install Cisco Unity as a demonstration system. Default license settings for a demonstration system are:

Opening a TAC Case
Using the online TAC Case Open Tool is the fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases. (P3 and P4 cases are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Case Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an immediate solution. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your case will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The online TAC Case Open Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen
For P1 or P2 cases (P1 and P2 cases are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded) or if you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to P1 and P2 cases to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a case by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447For a complete listing of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

TAC Case Priority Definitions
To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.
Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is "down" or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
