Installing IPCC on a non Cisco Hardware: The registry

Hi All;
If I need to install the IPCCE on a non Cisco harware (HP or IBM server), I heared that there is a registry file need to be run that will modify the registry to allow the IPCCE software to be installed on the hardware.
Can anyone advise for this file?
Any help?

VMWare allows you to create a virtual Linux box abstracted from the underlying host and you can then insert the CUCM installation DVD and it will install. The host can be running a range of operating systems - I have used Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server and VMWare's own operating system on an ESX server.
The installer knows it's a VMWare abstraction and does not do the normal hardware checks. The process could not be any easier.
There are many blogs out there with movies that guide you through the process of installing. Try this URL and watch the video.

Since I just helped a colleague install CUCM 7.x on an ESX 3.5 server today and I found this simple guide to the post-install steps, with a movie you can watch, I'll provide the URL.

Server Based MTP on non Cisco Hardware?

I've read that you can have a software based MTP on a "NT Server." Is this a supported configuration on non-Cisco hardware? If so, what is the best way to install it?
Thanks!

MTP Would only work with CM installed on the box . You cannot run S/W based MTP without installing CallManager on the server.

Apple Wireless Keyboard with Windows 7 on non Apple Hardware

Good Day,
I love the Apple Wireless Keyboard and it's the on I use when using my Thinkpad laptop as a desktop, meaning connected to an external Monitor and with an external keyboard and mouse. The Keyboard I use is an Apple Wireless Keyboard.
On my MBA 13 I use Windows 7 as my OS and the Apple lyouted keyboard works actually quite well with windows: The function keys perform very much like in Mac OSX with the volume, screen brightness, the fn+left or right for "home" or "end" etc.
Not I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use in conjuction with my Thinkpad but all does features are missing. I guess that this has to to that on the MBA 13 the appropriate drivers where installed when the whole Bootcamp Software package was installed.
Since I obviously cant install the whole Bootcamp CD on non Apple Hardware, is there any way to just download somewhere the drivers for Apple KEyboards so the behave the same way as they would on a Mac running Windows?
Or is there any other way I could use my Apple Wireless Keyboard with non Apple Hardware the same way it behaves on my MBA 13 running Windows 7? Can somwhere lolely the Apple Keyboard drivers be downloaded?
I want to thank anyone who is kind enough to help mme with this mather in advance and please leave out comments of the kind that I it's my fault, I should have bought an Apple machine from the beginning. I have my reasons and If anyone can't handle that I kindly ask you to just ignore this post unless it's constructive and helpful contribution

After 3 frustrating hours of trying every tip on the net, I found the answer: Try this.
"This finally fixed it for me: Device Manager - Open System Devices, you will find a Bluetooth HID Device. Double Click it, open Driver tab and click "Update Driver" Select Browse my Computer, then "Let me Pick". It should now show TWO compatible drivers with exactly the same name. One of them is the Microsoft one, one is the non-working Chinese ****. Install one of them and see if the driver properties changed to the right (Microsoft) driver. If not, try again with the other one. For me, the Microsoft driver was the first one in the list, but this may be different for you. Wow, an annoying and intense hour of trouble shooting finally over..."

The issue is related to the Chinese version of the driver that the latest windows update applies that stops the keyboard from working.

Connection issues of Historical Reports Client over a non-Cisco VPN/third party VPN

When trying to run the Cisco Unified CCX Historical Reports Client over a non-Cisco VPN, the user receives an error.
The major failure is the connection problem between Historical Reports Client and Cisco Unified CCX Server.
Error :
An error occurred while communicating with web server.
All available connections to database server are in use by other client machines. Please try again later and check the log file for error 5054.
This works fine when connected to through Cisco VPN .
Is the third party VPN/ customer's web based VPN blocking the connection between UCCX server and HRC machine ??
Thanks !!!

Hi Sridhar,
Also please try accessing the database port 1504 from your client box.

I own an iPhone 4S and have installed ios8. Subsequently none of my apps will work. How do I uninstall and go back to the previous operating system?

I own an iPhone 4S and have installed ios8. Subsequently none of my apps will work. How do I uninstall and go back to the previous operating system?

Good luck at the Genius bar.
I have figured out that if I do a hard restart of the phone the apps will work for a time, but then they begin to all freeze up again after a short time.
This may be a problem of not enough free storage. Have you checked the storage used by your apps?

When is the non compatibility problem with Google toolbar going to be fixed with Firefox 5 as I am fed up keep being asked to install Firefox 5 when I know that the Google toolbar will not work.

Firefox are already aware that Firefox 5 and Google toolbar won't work together yet I am continually being asked to install Firefox 5, each time I take the 'ask me later' option only to be asked again.
So when is the problem going to be fixed?

Google needs to update the Google Toolbar program for Firefox 5.0.
The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version does work pretty good in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension. But not every feature works 100%.<br />

Yet another PEAP question...non-Cisco cards...

So, we are about to embark on building a wireless network infrastructure using 1220 AP's. So far all wireless clients use Cisco cards and Win2k.
People are interested in all sorts of wireless devices now, some including built in wireless nics or no pci or pcmcia card slots.
We have ACS 3.1.1. Can we use PEAP in our situation with a client using say a Compaq tablet PC with an integrated NIC? Or, how about a desktop PC running Win2k using something other than a Cisco card? If so, what are the required pieces? PEAP supplicants? etc?
Thanks!

Hi ,
In short answer is
a) If ACS supports eap-chap ( which microsoft supports ) , you can use
non cisco card with microsoft supplicant and will work fine
I believe acs 3.2 will support is , I am not sure on acs3.1.1
b) You can buy 3rd party supplicant like meeting house etc and can use
non cisco card

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_qanda_item09186a008010018c.shtml
PEAP is hybrid process ( combination of leap and eap tls )
To download server side certificate on ACS you can use eap tls doc.
Depending on AP use either of following doc
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/airo_350/accsspts/ap350scg/ap350ch8.htm
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/airo1100/accsspts/i1224ja/i1224icg/ivicgaut.htm
You have to careful while selecting the client supplicant , you can choose Cisco peap supplicant or Microsoft peap supplicant
You can have Microsoft peap supplicant or Cisco Peap supplicant .
If you have windows 2000 OS , than if you load service pack3 , Microsoft peap supplicant is installed . On top of this if you install ACU 5.05 microsoft supplicant wil be overwritten by Cisco supplicant .
In case of XP , if you install service pack 1 , it will install microsoft peap supplicant , if you install ACU 5.05 it will be overwriteen by Cisco Peap supplicant .
Microsoft peap supplicant send eap-Chap in EAP tunnel and Cisco support EAP-GTC in eap tunnel .
with non cisco card it depends on which radius server and database you are running .
At present ACS 3.1 supports EAP-GTC so it will not interoperate with Microsoft supllicant . In later release ACS will have support for EAP-Chap so
that you can use 3rd party card with Microsoft supplicant and ACS3.2

CiscoWorks LMS 4.1, syslog analyzer parsing non-Cisco device.

Hello.
Can Syslog Analyzer parse syslog messages coming from a Non-Cisco device?
I'm trying to parse message from a HP Virtual Connect module without success.
Thanks.
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
You could use syslog-ng to write a generic mnemonic into the message and forward it to LMS.
Something like:
syslog-ng->add fac-sev-mne: message->lms
However, I would also caution you that LMS is *not* meant to be a "syslog" manager - there are usually way to many syslog messages in most environments for it to handle that many - which is why most syslog managers are standalone servers.
In order to make sure that the NMS systems that syslog-ng forward messages to receive the correct source, syslog-ng needs to be compiled with the source spoof option. This will allow messages received on other NMS’s (such as LMS) to appear to come from the original devices rather than from the syslog-ng server.
Compiling from source:
Install the syslog-ng prerequisites from Balabit
You must configure syslog-ng with --enable-spoof-source in order to enable the spoof source feature (which is disabled by default).
./configure --enable-spoof-source
make && make install
If you run into any issues during the installation, you can refer to the syslog-ng forum or you can refer to the syslog-ng knowledge base
Lastly, here's a great paper on syslog management:

Open letter to Cisco regarding the UC320 platform

Cisco,
I have never in my life been exposed to a "production" piece of equipment with so many bugs, missing features and oddities as the UC320. While I am sure many of you are working hard to reign in the problems, this platform is an utter embarrassment that should be in the preliminary alpha stages, not a channel product being sold to end users.
It is clear that Cisco has little understanding of how SMALL business works and how SMALL partners work with small business customers. A larger partner may be able to string a larger business along with promises of bug fixes and feature additions while charging them to make things right and.or padding the overall cost to account for the callbacks. True small businesses don't have the time, patience or money to deal with problematic hardware. When a partner sells a small business a piece of technology, it better work (at a reasonable cost) or the technology and the partner are out the door.
I was extremely excited when this system was announced and saw great potential for small business customers and an alternative to the Avaya Partner IP and other platforms targeted at the same demographic. I jumped in and put a UC320 in the office of one of my small customers. This whole experience has cost me the trust of a client and is going to end up costing me $3000-$4000 out of pocket (hardware, labor, travel) to make things right with the customer.
As it stands, countless hours have been spent trying to get this system to operate in a reasonably stable and productive manner. At this time the UC320 system has been reset and reconfigured in KEY mode (this time using 2.1.3(0), as the problems with steering digits, call routing and redial in "hybrid mode" made the system more than a little cumbersome to use. Now in KEY mode, caller ID only works on some stations AFTER a call is picked up. On one station, incoming calls are somehow routed to the "Phone Monitor" buttons instead of the "Shared FXO Line" buttons. The user has to press the monitor button to pick up a call, but the call does not always ring at the station so she has to watch for the lights. While the caller ID functionality is a bit better after the latest firmware update, it is still far from working properly. These basic call routing problems are not reasonable and not acceptable, period. The customer is tired of "we are working on it" and so am I.
Other problems (to mention a few):
The GUI is full of buggy behavior. One example if many: The impendence matching dialog only works the first time around and then the GUI loses track of what it is doing and must be reset.
It takes 7-10 minutes for the GUI to load to the login screen over a remote connection. The UC320 is connected to a Verizon DSL, while not blazing fast it is a decent connection. Initial GUI loading on the LAN is almost as bad.
The IE9 product that ships with every new Windows computer is not compatible with the GUI. This is not reasonable.
The AA is somewhat unpredictable with regard to picking up calls and sometimes results in a busy tone and dropped call, even if the call is the ONLY call on the system. Sometimes the prompts are garbled and sometimes the AA does not even pick up.
Steering digit redial issue - still not addressed. Redial on hybrid mode is useless, as is the phonebook.
Caller ID only works part of the time, yet on every other system I have ever used, it works 100% of the time. This is not acceptable.
Answered calls on shared FXO lines show as MISSED on other stations with those lines. The workaround: remove the missed calls display feature. This is not acceptable.
Thus UC320 is not happy unless it is the only router, DHCP and DNS client on the LAN. The grayfield implementation appears to fail no matter what LAN topology and equipment are used. This device is far from friendly to the typical SBS or existing LAN with a dedicated DNS and/or DHCP server.
The handsets have a cheap feel to them compared to the Avaya and other competitors phones.
The sound quality of the ringtones is almost laughable if not sad
The speakerphone quality and overall voice quality are not as good as the competition's.
The filtering functionality of the logging feature does not appear to work properly
Firmware updates often result in a HANG condition where either the GUI needs reset, the system needs a physical reset and/or sometimes defaulted
Firewall port forwarding rule oddities where a rule is deleted from the gui but is still active in the firewall, yet the inability to easily use another data router to work around this problem.
The inability of the device to properly use the LAN port for INTERNET based functionality (Time for example) if the WAN port is NOT connected,
countless other 'issues" raised in the support forum and other venues...
These are ALL very basic functions that one would expect to be fixed BEFORE a basic telephone system platform is released for production. It is absolutely unreasonable for a CUSTOMER to have to put up with a system this buggy and it is absolutely unreasonable for a partner to have to devote this much time and money to getting system to work at even a very basic level of functionality.
To repeat the scenario: This config is as basic as it gets running 2.1.3(0) with (3) system phones, (3) users, (2) pots trunks and that's it. There are no odd call routing scenarios, no complex AA rules or schedules (in fact the AA is defaulted, including prompts). All (3) system phones have BOTH shared FXO lines (KEY MODE). Each and every firmware version has been tried and the system has been defaulted numerous times. The system fails to meet even the most basic expectations of myself or the end user and has become a sore spot between our company and a very good client.
I am somewhat baffled, if not outright bothered by the fact that this device is riddled with so many problems and the fixes are taking so long to be implemented, if at all. I have been asked (ordered) by the customer to get this "hunk of crap" out of their office and replace it with something that works "at no additional cost". I could not agree with the customer more...
A very unhappy Cisco Partner.
William Burnett

To William (and Cisco,)
Honestly, I like Cisco.
I like their "openess" (you can find documentation and help on almost anything anywhere), the contribution they make to industry by their huge R&D effort (more than all their competition combined....or so I've been told...), the accessibility and responsiveness of some of their key people in the distribution channel, and yes, I like the ecosystem in terms of support, tons of free education and sales support for both their SMB and classic enterprise solutions.
Having said that, I thank God for people like William Burnett, who I am sure opened the eyes of many partners about the things that are horrendously wrong with some of the products in the SMB portfolio, most notably the UC320. I think it is fair to say, that William has effectively "killed" it (the UC320) in it's present incarnation. That is, unless Cisco, decides to really rise to the challenge and fix a product that at first seemed ideal for the small enterprise, but which was poorly implemented in terms of QC and in some cases design.
We certainly are not going to be touching the UC320 with a 10ft pole now Nobody wants (or can afford to) get a bad name by selling "trouble" to your Mom&Pop shops or to people whose trust you worked hard to gain and who are really depending on you to deliver. Not in this economy....not ever.
Coming from a Nortel telephony background, its really hard to accept that having to respond to trouble calls or complaints continuously from customers when Nortel products worked so reliably. In fact, Nortel Norstar is so reliable as a key system that people joke , that's why they went out of business, they couldn't generate enough turnover in new sales on account of people holding on to their Norstar's forever.
As a seller/installer/user of Cisco voice (UC540) and CME there are a couple recommendations I would like to make to Cisco:
1)Private line emulation - inability to transfer or conference calls on a private line. (using the TRUNK XX command) on the CME/UC500 platforms needs to be significantly improved in order to keep up with the competition:
for one, when you select a private line and make a call you cannot transfer that call. Every other system I have worked with allows you to do this. This for me is a glaring "defect/design flaw". I spent a lot of time trying to get this "fixed" as I couldnt believe that Cisco would just omit such a basic function when all their competition has it. (You dont even think about this when dealing with other systems.) Its just expected.
2)Private line emulation - Inability to reflect the dialed number in the Call Detail Records for calls made via a "private line". If you select a private line on the UC500 or CME and make a call, the dialed number would not show up in the CDR. I have programmed systems from Nortel (Norstar, BCM,CS1000), Avaya - (IP Office 500, Partner Plus, and S8x00 Communication Servers) as well as various systems from Mitel and
Panasonic . The CDR packages for these systems are very well implemented and documented. Cisco's systems are well documented as well, but this is an area of the implementation where Cisco falls behind the competition. I am sure this can be fixed, but for some reason, despite a number of requests, it hasnt.
In trying to understand why it is Cisco, with such a huge R&D budget, can't seem to get some things working properly that the competiton has long ago solved and moved on with, I have come to the conclusion that it must be that Cisco propably didnt tap enough of the right (human) resources when it was developing its voice portfolio, and the lack of industry experience shows up in some random places. Sad to say, not paying attention to some of these details, to real world usage scenarios, makes what would be an otherwise super product, just good enough.
Cisco is the biggest networking vendor on the planet. People have a right to have high exectations of Cisco. Their marketing also conditions users and partners to expect more when using their solutions. While we accept that no one is perfect, not even the mighty Cisco, I think most of the complaints and dissapointment expressed in this forum, on this particular thread, are justified because there is a strong feeling that if Cisco can be such a trailblazer with their enterprise portfolio, that they should have understood the importance of ensuring and enforcing good quality control in the design and manufacture of the SMB portfolio. I honestly hope someone from "Corporate" or high enough to make a differnce, looks at this thread started by William and uses it to inspire the will to fix what needs to be fixed to redeem the UC320 in whatever incarnation, in the eyes of its partners (even former ones....such as William)and customers. This is beginning to look like a textbook case of how not to do product development.

24" iMac won't install any 'large' Apple software updates from the internet

I am having a serious issue with my iMac and neither the people on the phone at Apple Care or the 'Geniuses' at the Genius Bar have been able to assist. So, maybe someone here can:
First - here is the background information about what happened and what I've done:
A few weeks ago when the new iTunes 10 came out I went to upgrade. The upgrade failed it said. So, I thought perhaps Apple was having issues with the new software or something. So, I thought - Ok, I'll give it a day or two.
I come back and try again from Apple.com - no luck. Hmmmm - well, I just happened to see my 'software update' icon pop up and there was iTunes. I thought "Great! Now I'm sure it'll install!" No luck.
So, I think - well, perhaps I've done something to corrupt my profile. So, I create a new profile and try again. No dice.
So now I'm really confused and figure - ok, let me try a partition and I'll try again. Still nothing.
Finally I figure - ok, something is wrong here. So, since nothing is working I backup my music and important files and wipe out the hard drive and start over. No luck. And, in fact - since I had gone back to 10.5.4 or whatever - software updates needed to install to get me back to 10.5.5. Those wouldn't install through software updates OR when downloaded from Apple.com - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue.
I decided to engage "Apple Care" and they call me at the time I specified and we begin to do some tests on the hardware and everything came back ok. We tried from Apple.com and software updates again - still won't install the software. Keeps coming back with "Software installation failed" something about the package installer was corrupted during downloading.
The guy at Apple care thinks perhaps its my network corrupting something. This begins to make a little sense and I think, maybe he's right. My wireless router isn't that great so, maybe I'll just go replace it. However, while I'm checking out I begin to think that maybe its NOT my wireless router - because I do have 2 other computers in my house who haven't had issues downloading anything. So, this is unlikely. But, I didn't like the wireless router anyway - so I went ahead with the purchase.
I get it home - set it up and try again. STILL not working. So, I make an Appointment at the "Genius Bar". I take it in - show them the screen shots of the errors and we get started. They try to do the install of either iTunes or the combo update on THEIR network - still won't work. The genius thinks I have a bad HD and takes the computer for 2 days to look at it.
I finally get to go pick it up - excited that I'll have my iMac (which I use for work) back and functioning again. I go pick it up and they decided that it wasn't my hard drive - but likely my RAM. They couldn't prove it was the RAM but figured since I bought the RAM after I bought the iMac that this must be the issue (even though it was up to exact Apple standards and was from Crucial). So, I think - well, while I have a blank slate I'll go ahead and install Snow Leopard. So, I pick up Snow Leopard and get new RAM too and go home to install.
I get the computer home, put the new RAM in, install snow leopard and get ready to work! After snow leopard install is done - it has some new updates it needs to install. And the update FAILS to install again. Oh, and they never replaced the HD.
So, I call Apple Care again - they have no clue. They suggest making an Apple Genius Bar appointment. So, I take it in again. They run diagnostics on it from their 'Triage' external hard drive and everything checks out. He says its probably the hard drive (same conclusion they came to the first time) and said that they would replace it.
I get the computer back - take it home. Everything is up to date. All the software updates were back in place including iTunes 10. However, I still want to test and see if I can download iTunes and/or do updates. So, I uninstall iTunes and download it again. Same problem. STILL won't install any large software downloads. But, again - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue. Just no core Apple updates or things like iTunes will download and install on my iMac.
I then took it to a friends house - set it up on his network - same issue.
So to sum up:
I have re-imaged the hard drive several times
I have replaced the ram
I have replaced my networking hardware (even though other machines on the network have no issues)
I have taken it in twice to the Genius Bar and they still haven't fixed it
The Problem followed the machine and exhibited the same issues in store as it did in my home (so we know the problems stays with the machine)
I have tried it on yet a 3rd network and the issue still exists
The people at the Genius Bar told me that If I still have issues then its with my network - even though its been proven it wasn't.
Its only larger downloads like Combo Updates and iTunes that won't install.
Any ideas? Sorry for the long post but its been quite an ordeal.

Yes, I have tried the updates directly from the Apple website and a different issue occurs. When I do that I get various different errors - the most common saying 'Codec overrun'. This has happened both before and after complete software OS reinstalls (Completely wiping the HD clean).
I did a video of my issue on my iPhone. I had to cut it and compress it to get it off my phone without syncing (because I can't sync it since I can't get iTunes installed now). So, its about a minute long if anyone wants to see it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8leWwEoIeXI
And yes, we tried to repair permissions a couple times but didn't seem to have any effect on whether it would install these updates. Again, it's NOT all software downloads/installs. It seems to be limited to LARGER pieces of software. Example: Firefox, Flash, Java and Silverlight have all downloaded and installed without error on my iMac. Apple combo updates and iTunes won't install at all.

Installing Windows 7 using non-Lenovo media

Is it possible to use a retail or a non-Lenovo Windows 7 media but use the product key on my laptop?
I really want a fresh install of Windows without having to use the recovery disk.
If anyone has any alternatives let me know.
Thanks.

I don't think so. The keys are a different subset for OEM and retail and using an OEM key for a retail SKU (even though they match, i.e. Ultimate OEM key --> Ultimate retail SKU) won't work.

I have an iBook g4 14" 1.42 ghz. I recently installed a new hard drive. I put the install CD in. Then, I pressed the power button, then the "C" key. Black screen and No chiming. Please tell me, what I can do to resolve this? What is the problem with it?

Since it will not boot then a hardware test can't be run. You could try FireWire Target Disk Mode and if it works then access from another Mac to run tests on the new drive. You could also try installing the OS X software from the host computer. If this does not work then professional help should be considered.

On this DVD, there is a folder called KN_SOLARIS_SPARC with contains a LABEL.ASC like this:

The label that is requested by SAPinst is "SAP:AKK:700:UKERNEL::SOLARIS_SPARC:"
Is this not the correct DVD that I am providing?
Please help!

Hi,
I have the 51032263 DVD, which contains both the unicode and non-unicode kernel.
We have decided to go with a unicode installation of SolMan 4.0, but still I am having the problem with SAPInst requesting the Kernel NW04sSR1 DVD.. In my DVD-kit I only have NW04sSR2 kernel DVD.
When I try to specify the exact CD (KU_SOLARIS_SPARC) within the DVD I get this message: "You entered /tmp/d510302263/KU_SOLARIS_SPARC Unable to find a LABEL:ASC at location >< (Look for label SAP:AKK:700:UKERNEL::SOLARIS:SPACR:"
Please help, who can I contact as SAP with this issue?
Regards,
Thomas
