About the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 Installation

About SQL Server Installation Options

To ease installation, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is bundled with both Microsoft SQL
Server and Microsoft SQL Desktop Engine (MSDE). You can choose to install SQL Server on either the
same machine as Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing or, for better performance, on a
separate machine.

If you choose to install SQL Server on the same machine as Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web
Conferencing, choose Local as your SQL Server database location during your installation. If the
installer fails to detect a version of SQL Server 2000 on your local system, it installs both SQL Server
2000 and the appropriate Service Pack for you automatically. No additional steps are required.

Note

Check the

Release Notes

for your release of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing for the

required Service Pack.

If you choose to install SQL Server on a separate machine, install both SQL Server 2000 and the
appropriate Service Pack before installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing; then, on the
MCS, install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing. During installation, choose Existing
remote
as your SQL Server database location and enter the appropriate SQL access information.

For more information about what conditions must be met for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web
Conferencing to automatically install either SQL Server or MSDE, see
