appears.
4. Check the Override automatic cookies check box.
5. Select Always allow session cookies.
6. Click OK to save the change.
Microsoft Updates on the Server
When releasing a new build, ShoreTel publishes build notes listing the Microsoft patches that are
certified against the build. ShoreTel also highlights software changes required by the Microsoft
patches. No additional Microsoft updates should be applied to your ShoreWare server between
ShoreTel builds. If you install Microsoft updates between ShoreTel builds, they may have an adverse
effect on your telephone system.
Virus Protection on the Main and Distributed Servers
ShoreTel allows the use of industry-standard virus protection software on the main and distributed
servers.
