619500001-19A Copyright © 2009 ADTRAN, Inc. 11
a result of a conflict between the Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook messaging application
programming interface (MAPI) drivers. Do not install the UC client software on the following platforms:
• Any platform running both Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Outlook
• Windows SBS (which includes Exchange Server and Microsoft Outlook)
• Any operating system on which both Terminal services and Microsoft Exchange services are operating
Limitations of using Microsoft Exchange Server and mailbox monitoring
Mailbox monitoring is a method of synchronizing message waiting lights on phones, using Exchange
Server to monitor when messages arrive, are read, and so on. Using mailbox monitoring enables the
synchronization of message waiting lights when messages are accessed through Microsoft Outlook Web
Access, or through a mobile device.
You can enable or disable mailbox monitoring at the system level when you add or configure Microsoft
Exchange Server. You can also set the default for users as either having mailbox monitoring on or off.
When you add or configure users, you can choose to use the server default, which is the default value, or
you can enable or disable mailbox monitoring for individual users.
Do not change the recovery setting for the CA Server Application Service
The recovery setting for the CA Server Application service is set to Take no Action and should not be
changed. Modifying this setting will hinder diagnosis of any startup issues, and could result in unnecessary
entries being added to the system or application event logs. The other services have been set to restart on
failure.
Starting the NetVanta UC Server
Power on the NetVanta UC Server to begin installation.
To start the UC server
1. Log in as Administrator using the password: callattendant.
2. Change the password according to the customer’s standards.
Performance issues may arise when mailbox monitoring is enabled. On systems with more
than 100 users, system design and engineering must consider the increased load that a large
numbers of open mailboxes will have on the Exchange Server. Enabling monitoring of more
than 500 mailboxes requires careful consideration and probably should not be done without
a slow roll-out procedure to validate the performance of both Exchange Server and UC
server in the specific customer environment. If your Exchange Server is at or near capacity,
then you may want to disable mailbox monitoring.
