Recommendations
The following recommendations will assist you in procuring and installing your
ShoreWare server:
• Use a dedicated server for the ShoreWare server. The ShoreWare server provides
voice mail, automated attendant, workgroups, and call detail recording, as well as
desktop call control services. These are all business-critical applications that
should run on a dedicated server.
• ShoreTel does not support the ShoreWare server for use as a Domain Controller.
• Select a server from a reputable manufacturer. Servers from clone manufacturers
are not recommended for business-critical applications.
• Make sure the server has at least 512 MB of RAM.
• Be sure to follow the exact order of steps provided later in this chapter when
installing the Microsoft components on the server.
