• No 64-bit version of Microsoft SQL Server is supported under Windows Server 2008 R1 (32-bit).

• Cisco Unified Attendant Console Advanced server does not support the Cisco Media Convergence

Server (MCS) version of Windows Server.

• If the Cisco Unified Attendant Console Advanced server installer does not detect a supported

version of Microsoft SQL Server, it will automatically install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express.

• If you are installing Microsoft SQL yourself, you must install it locally on the Cisco Unified

Attendant Console Advanced server. Cisco Unified Attendant Console Advanced does not support

the use of external SQL Servers.

• IMPORTANT: If you plan to implement Cisco Unified Attendant Console Advanced server

resilience, you must use Microsoft SQL Server Standard or Enterprise (not Express) on the

Publisher server. You can use Microsoft SQL Server Express, Standard or Enterprise on the

Subscriber server. Furthermore, the Publisher and Subscriber servers must use the same version of

Microsoft SQL Server: both must use 2008. For guidance on which SQL edition to use, see

Additional Server Considerations, page 3-6.
