[OSL | CCIE_Voice] UCCX 7 on VMWare
Hello Experts, I recently followed few steps to use UCCX on a VMWare environment but I am dealing with a few issues. I will explain first how I did it, and then I will tell you what the problem is. I installed on a MCS7835 the 2003.1.4 OS for HP Servers. The MCS we have is HP, so... Everything went real smooth. As soon as the installation ended, I installed VMWare converter. I didn't install UCCX, or anything else, just the OS. I converted from Physical Machine to VMWare Infrastructure. I have a licensed VMWare server here at home. I waited a whole night for the system to be converted and transferred to my VMWare server. As I execute the machine, it gives me a bunch of errors such: Windows Activation 30 days to activate... As far as I remember, we don't have to activate Windows, do we? I really don't remember this part, but anyways... - Service Control Manager. At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use Event Viewer to examine the event log for details - I waited until it was completely installed to convert it to VM. If you Google Installing UCCX 7 VMware you will come across a website from blindhog. I followed Alex Hannah instructions to the dot. Does anybody recommend plain windows 2003 and registry hacks + OS Upgrades from Cisco?

Hi Emanuel, If you have windows 2003 standard edition you can boot from that cd and repair your converted virtual machine. In that process you ll be providing a different serial key at the repair face. So it will take that as the active key.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] UCCX 7 on VMWare
Thanks for the hint Ravindra. I already deleted everything :( I will try with a plain windows server 2003, if it is too stressful I will reinstall on MCS and convert again. I will use your advice :) Thank you very much *Emanuel Damasceno* CCNP Voice On Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 9:53 PM, Ravindra Lakpriya lakpr...@gmail.comwrote: Hi Emanuel, If you have windows 2003 standard edition you can boot from that cd and repair your converted virtual machine.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] UCCX 7 on VMWare
Dont go through the painful procedure of installing and converting your Cisco windows appliance version. straightaway install it on the ESXi or Workstation. Create a vm with 2 GB memory and 160 GB hard drive. Install from the Cisco OS cd. before installing UCCX repair your installation with the windows 2003 cd. Then its done :) On Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 6:15 AM, CCIEVoiceKP ccievoic...@gmail.com wrote: Here's what I used: For lab testing only install normal 2003 Server, the run regedit; Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\Systems Info\OS Image] Version=2003.1.1 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems\Model] Hardware=7835H05 Memory=2048 Speed=2333 On Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 11:55 AM, Emanuel Damasceno aedamasc...@gmail.com wrote: KP, would you mind sharing the Registry Hacks? *Emanuel Damasceno* CCNP Voice On Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 6:54 PM, CCIEVoiceKP ccievoic...@gmail.comwrote: I installed a win2003 server on ESXi Applied the reg hacks so the CCX install cd would recognize it as an MCS server then installed CCX ...

[OSL | CCIE_Voice] UCCX 7 with vmware..
Hello guys, This is my first mail to this mailing group. Im trying to install UCCX in vmware. i have installed Cisco windows 2003 OS. But it is asking to activate. Anyone is having any workaround for this ?? when i tried to activate over the internet its saying that this is not a valid serial. Please assist. -- Ravindra Lakpriya
Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] UCCX 7 with vmware..
No workaround, it is a Microsoft licensing issue. If you are using a valid copy of cisco / Microsoft load, make sure it isn't the 2003 load that had a bug that acted just the way you are talking about (valid s/ n but it wouldn't register with m'soft). It was a real early 2003 cisco build. Sent from my phone, apologies for any typos.
