Cisco Desktop Agent\Supervisor & Windows 7 Compatibility

We are on Customer Response Solutions V 5.0(2). In order to install the Desktop Agent on Windows 7 we need to install DA v 7.5(8). We have been told by our VAR that we need to upgrade not only our CRA but also our CallManager to verison 8. This is going to be a big expense especially since we just upgraded four Cisco Servers less than two years ago.
Does anyone have any experience with the Desktop Agent on Windows 7? If so what version works?
Thanks

Hi Sandy,
Here is the page which has the compatibilities listed for Windows 7.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6789/ps7046/ps7282/product_bulletin_c25-563280_ps427_Products_Bulletin.html
Here is the snippet that concerns UCCX. Which is what I think you are running, but you haven't actually stated that.
Version 7.0(2), Q4CY10
Version 8.0(1), FCS Q1CY10
If you upgraded to UCCX 8, you could still keep your CallManager at 7, provided it's on a supported version.
To know that, you need to look at the compatibility guide for UCCX:

I hope this helps.

Cisco desktop agent fail to connect to CCX7.0

Hello,
Please we occure a problem that the Cisco desktop agent fail to connect to CCX 7.0 extension Agent ID not found.
regards

We're currently seeing the same issue with only two Agents. When you look at the Agent's call log, it shows a reason code of Ring No Answer. This would lead me to believe that UCCX is attempting to pass calls to the Agents, but the phone never rings. Anyone else seeing this?
We're running UCCX 8.0.2 and CAD ver 8.0.2.300.

Cisco desktop agent and MWI

Is there a way with Cisco Desktop agent to have a popup or an icon so if there are voicemails the agents will know they are there?

Hi
Not sure what you are asking for here?
If an agent has VM, then they should get the normal MWI/red light on the handsets.
If you are talking about VM for the 'queue' (i.e. a shared voicemail box), then I normally configure like so:
1) Create a line on the system (with a new, unused DN)
2) CFwdAll the line to Voicemail
3) When you send a call to VM for the queue, send it to the new line, which forwards to voicemail
4) Configure a VM box with the new line DN as it's extension
5) Configure the new DN as a second line on all the agent phones that you wish to receive notification.
Now, when a VM is left, the envelope icon on the VM line appears on the phone and the MWI can be lit so all users are aware of it.

Cisco NAC Agent and Windows 8 still not working

Hello. I recently upgraded the Cisco NAC Agent to the latest version (4.9.1.13) on a Windows 8 VM. The release notes state that Windows 8 support has been added, and that a patch must be downloaded. However, the information about the patch is vague. I'm not sure if it's a client or server-side patch, or perhaps if I already have it as a result of upgrading to the latest version.
I ask this because I plan to upgrade some computers to Windows 8, and have noticed that Cisco NAC Agent can't handshake with the NAC server on Windows 8 (both native and VM), and despite upgrading to the latest version, the handshake is still unsuccessful.
Thanks,
-Collin

Hi Collin,
The 4.9.1 Patch for Windows 8 Support can be downloaded from the following link :
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282910502&flowid=34713&softwareid=282573326&release=4.9.1&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
The patch should be applied to both 4.9.1 CAM and CAS.
Please go through the README file for patch provided in the download link provided above. It has detailed information.

Cisco Desktop Agent application

How do you change the default URL links in the Ciscao Agent application? Is it done in CM or UCCX consoles?
We have a few agents that want to reset the default links in the Agent application?

You need to use the Cisco Desktop Workflow Administrator application. You can download this through the /appadmin UI under Tools > Plugins.
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide/CAD 8.5 for Unified CM

Cisco Desktop Agent Time out?

Can someone tell me if there is a "Time out" feature that knocks users out of the call agent group after a certain perioud of inactivity or could there be a limit to how many users can be in the agent group?
Thanks ,Chet

Yes to both quests.
There is a time out feature you set for agent desktop. There is also a user license limitation for number of agents signed on given moment.
in ICM under configuration manager list tools, list agent desk setting see details.
may want to post this in contact center forum.
please rate if it helps.

Supervisor Desktop, Agents window is very jittery on certain queues

We have Supervisor Desktop installed on Windows 7.
On all of the Supervisors, the Agents window in the lower left hand is so jittery (very fast), you cannot make out who the agents are.
We have two queues and it only happens when a particular queue is selected.
We have two version of the software and it happens on both of them.
8.02.400
8.02.9
I took some snapshots during the jitter and it looks like one of the agents (also a supervisor) is going away, and another agent is showing up twice.
This happens so fast you can't see it, it just looks like all of the agents are kind of a blur.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

Might be a problem with a client firewall on the disappearing agent/sup.. that can disrupt comms so the agent logs in/loses connection/logs in etc ad infinitum.
Check for Windows Firewall or any third party sutff and turn it off.
Also check the desktop chat service logs on the UCCX server to see if there are lots of errors for any particular agent.

UCCX 8.5.1.11002-22 CAD Agent & Supervisor Errors on Windows 7 PC

We recently upgraded to UCCX 8.5.1.11002-22. We subsequently upgraded all CAD to 8.5 too. Everything was fine for 3 weeks but this morning two Windows 7 systems were not getting logged in.
On launching 'Unable to download file could not open destination file for writing' message box appeared. It then when on to say ' A licencing error has occured please try again in 5 mins. Then it shutdown. All our other systems running on XP are fine.
In the agent log there is a message DESK3113 Unknown exception in releasing licences.
I reinstalled the supervisor and agent with the same results. I also resynched directory services through Cisco Desktop Administrator.
After a while on one of the failing systems I could get into agent although the 'Unable to download file' error box still pops up. The only otehr thing i did on this system was install the Cisco Desktop Administrator and on opening 1st thime that gave same error but then opened thereafter.
We recently had a HA installed but agents were working fine after this so not sure if it could be related.
I have attached the agent and supervisor logs and debug files.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Barry,
On this Windows 7 pc, is CAD able to login ? atleast with one UCCX ip ?
Check the LDAP hostname\ip address in the Registry key for this CAD clinet, and see if it is pointing to correct IP addresses.
Could you please make sure that the mastership for all the services are running from the UCCX node1 (publisher).
And also the supported clients for the CAD's are
Win XP Professional SP2 (Please check Tech Tips & Release Notes)
Win XP Professional SP3
(Please check Tech Tips & Release Notes)
Win Vista (Ultimate, Enterprise, and Business)
Windows 7 (Ultimate, Enterprise, and Professional)
Windows 7 x64bit with WoW64(Ultimate, Enterprise, Professional )
Reference:

Also post the logs from this client box, if it doesn't fix the issue?

No Service on Agent Desktop and Supervisor Desktop

This issue was brought to our attention because the Supervisors logging into Supervisor Desktop are unable to see their agents in the team list.
The Agent Desktop window aswell as the Supervisor Desktop show "No service" at the bottom, this is the same for all agents and supervisors on the contact centres for this particular IPCC Express cluster.
But calls are still routing through fine, the only actual issue seems to be supervisors not being able to monitor their agents.
All services are up and the servers appear to be operating normally.

Yes, I can confirm that we did end up restarting our service with no call drops (I realise now that once a call has been answered, it is no longer using the CCX port and, therefore, won't drop).
Per my post here: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2081178
ll.... I restarted the "Cisco Desktop Call/Chat Service" service in CCX Serviceability > Tools > Control Center - Network Services.
The service was only restarted on the Publisher (we have pub + subscriber in HAoWAN config).
Once the service had restarted - the publisher remained 'master' of the service. I didn't bother to restart the sub's service at any stage.
The service restart took about 1 literal minute total - from clicking 'restart' to cycle back to IN SERVICE.
As part of the process, I had called into one of our contact center numbers and had an SDA take my call.
I restarted the service while on the phone to them - they didn't get booted from CAD and the call didn't drop.
Also of note - another call was made into the system during the service restart and another SDA on shift was able to take the call with no signs of impact.
CAD/CSD chat and also the team views in CSD started working again...issue solved.
In turn, agents and supervisors logged out of CAD/CSD, closed the app, then re-opened it just in case (although I honestly don't think this was necessary).
I have yet to find anything online that says specifically what this service does (or any of the services in Network Services) in parts and as a whole.
I can only say that it is important in allowing Chat (clearly) and for Supervisor Desktop to be able to function at all really.
We didn't seem to experience any outage of any kind - so I will assume that the consequences of service restart in this instance were little to none.
I couldn't say what the consequences would've been had the service failed to restart again - forcing a system bounce (yuck).
Anyway - issue solved, hope this info proves useful to someone else!
PS. If you're new to the whole UCCX business, CSD = "Cisco Supervisor Desktop" and CAD = "Cisco Agent Desktop".
Also some additional interesting info per David King:
"...here is the link to the CAD install guide that I quoted regarding what the call/chat service does. It also explains the other Desktop services as well. The service descriptions start on page 11.

Remote desktop connection blocked by cisco security agent

Hi,
I have a deployment of a Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 6.0.2 and i just noticed that the agent is blocking the remote desktop connection to the hosts, the agent installed on the server shows me the event but i'm not able to see it logged on the Management Center (i can see logged any other events), i'm not sure what rule should i enable in order to allow this connection.
Do you have any ideas???
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Remote desktop connection uses the highest possible security level encryption method between the source and destination.
In Windows Vista or later versions of Windows, the remote desktop connection uses the SSL (TLS 1.0) Protocol and the encryption is Certificate-based.
TS Gateway can also make the connection more secure, enhance security, see detailed information in this link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731264(WS.10).aspx
Don't forget some known offical antii-virus software, they can also protect the connetion from network attack.

UCCX 8.5 Supervisor desktop agent voice monitor logs

Is there any logs/reports that can be found to show what calls the supervisor has silient voice monitored when using the silient monitor function from the supervisor desktop agent.

You'll need to assign the supervisor to a couple teams before you'll see anything in Supervisor desktop.
You can do this through SubSystems --> RmCm --> Teams. Make sure your user shows up under the assigned section.
You will need to close (completely) Cisco Agent Desktop and relaunch before you will see the changes.

UCCX Supervisor Desktop Agent team summary

Supervisor desktop agent team summary report are not showing accurate. Before restart the server we are facing a Agent logon time its not correct under the supervisor desktop agent page.
After restart that problem is resolved the Agent logon time but its giving another issue.
The issue the Call Preseneted time not accurate.
The running UCCX version is: 8.5.1.11004.25
Attached the snapshot.

What's wrong with the calls presented column? It looks like three of the four people didn't answer one of the calls presented to them which is what that column is supposed to show.

Hide Cisco NAC agent window

Dear all,
We have cisco NAC version 4.9.1 and the agent version is 4.9.1.5. We want to know if there is a way to hide the cisco NAC agent window so the user do not see it, i mean run it on the background to make it a bit more transparent to the final user.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Go to "Administration > User Pages" and make sure you have configured a proper login page for Windows 7.

Cisco Security Agent unable to close tcp/135 port on Windows hosts

Hello
I've encountered with problem that Cisco Security Agent unable to close port TCP/135 on windows PC (XP or Win7).
I've configured rule module Network Access Control to prevent all client/server connections to port tcp/135.
I've checked my policy using nmap, so this port (TCP/135) during 20 minutes shows as filtered and i can see log in monitor event on CSA MC, during next 20 minutes it show as opened and no log shows. (time not exact, so it maybe 30 minutes or 5,it varies)
Can anyone explain how TCP/135 works and is it possible to close it using CSA?
Thanks in advance

There is another question for the same issue on the forums (see: CSA 6.0.2.145 problem with windows 7 firewall). I wrote:-
"I went ahead and tested this in the lab with winXP and CSA 602-149 (latest). I defined a rule with DENY tcp/135 and ran the nmap and it reports opened (wireshark shows syn-ack to the syn). I changed it to a PRIORITY DENY and now the nmap reports closed (wireshark shows reset to the syn). Via the cli, netstat -an shows the pc listening on tcp/135 & disabling CSA the syn gets the syn-ack response. To me this implies a couple of defect. 1: The DENY should block syn to tcp135 & 2: CSA should not send reset (it should be reset). Is it possible to open a TAC case and put my name (mwinnett) in it and I will open a defect."
