Installing Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop
During the installation you perform a basic Desktop configuration by defining servers which Desktop
uses. Follow recommendations in this section to configure Desktop correctly:
• In a single Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, use the same gatekeeper as
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU is configured to use. If you install Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager as a part of your deployment, specify the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager internal gatekeeper.
• In a multiple Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, you must use Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager as your meeting control server. In a single Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, you can use either Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3545 MCU or Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.
• The default Desktop web server port is 80. If other applications are using port 80, the installer
prompts you to specify a different port.
If you wish to use port 80 in such cases, access the Services panel on your computer and disable the
IIS Administration, HTTP SSL and World Wide Web Publishing services. You can do this before
installing the Desktop server software or when you receive the "ip address/ port is in use" error
during installation.
After disabling these services, installation completes normally and Desktop clients can connect to
the Desktop server using port 80.
• If you wish to use the HTTPs protocol for security, configure the Desktop web server port to 443
after installation is complete.
• The Desktop serial key is required for the installation and operation of the Desktop and is not
included in this package. For more information about obtaining the serial key, refer to the License
Fulfillment Instructions for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager at

Restoring an MSSQL 2005/2000/MSDE Database
This section is only relevant if your Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager installation is using an
external MSSQL database. For demonstration purposes, we assume the installed Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager database name is “temp_db” and that the database owner is “temp_user”.
You can modify the database name and its owner name during the installation process.
Procedure
Step 1 Use Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager or Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager
Management Studio to access temp_db.
MSDE database does not include a management console by default. You need to use an external
management console to connect to a MSDE database.
Step 2 If you are restoring temp_db to the same database server, make sure that temp_db exists.
If "temp_db does not exist, create a new database called temp_db.
Step 3 If you are restoring temp_db to a new database server, delete the temp_db database on that new database
server if it exists, and create a new database called temp_db.
Step 4 Ensure no other applications are using temp_db.
Step 5 Right-click temp _db and select All Tasks > Restore Database, or Task > Restore > Database.
Step 6 Select From device on the General tab, and use the temp_db.bak as the backup file.
Step 7 Click Options.
Step 8 Select either Force restore over existing database or Overwrite the existing database.
Step 9 Click OK.
Step 10 Select temp_db and open the Query Analyzer window.
Step 11 From the Query Analyzer, run
sp_helpuser 'temp_user'
where temp_user is the name of the database user.
The database restore procedure has succeeded if the LoginName entry is the same as the UserName entry
in the returned table, and if the DefDBName entry is temp_db.
Step 12 If the LoginName and DefDBName entries are null:
a. Run
sp_addlogin 'temp_user', 'temp_user_password', 'temp_db', null, [SID value from
the table returned at 11]
where

“temp_user” is the name of the database user
“temp_db” is the name of the database
“temp_user_password” is the database user password. Its value should be the same as the
“temp_user” password from the old backup database.
You can create a new password if you wish. Update the new password in the mssql-ds.xml file
in clear text, as shown below. The old password is stored in encrypted format.
<connection-url>jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://IP_address:1433;databasename=temp_db;
SendStringParametersAsUnicode=false</connection-url>
<driver-class>com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver</driver-class>
<user-name>temp_user</user-name>
<password>temp_user_password</password>
b. Run
sp_helpuser 'temp_user'
and verify that the LoginName entry is the same as the UserName entry in the returned table,
and that the DefDBName entry is temp_db.
