Installing Unity
and ActiveFax
You run the Unity Setup program if:
◆
You are installing Unity and (optionally) ActiveFax on the
Unity server, and either you are installing a component sys-
tem or you are reinstalling all software on a turnkey system.
◆
You are installing ActiveFax on a separate server. In this sit-
uation, you install ActiveFax first.
The account used for installation on the Unity
server
The Windows NT/2000 account that you log on with to install
Unity and ActiveFax on the Unity server has a significant impact
on the installed Unity system, so choose this account carefully.
This account is the owner of the Windows NT/2000 services for
Unity and ActiveFax. Changing the owner or the password for
each of these services is time consuming, so you probably want
to choose an account that you do not intend to change regularly.
You may even want to create an account whose sole purpose is
to be the owner of the Unity and ActiveFax services.
The Unity Setup program creates a number of Windows
NT/2000 and Exchange accounts and other objects, so the
account you log on with must have enough security access to
perform the necessary operations. This account must:
◆
Be a member of the Domain Admins group (typically this
group is a member of the Local Administrators group for the
domain). Domain Admin rights ensure that the Unity Setup
program can create default users during installation.
◆
Be a member of the Local Administrators group.
◆
Have the right to log on locally.
◆
Have the right to act as part of the operating system.
◆
Have the right to log on as a service.
◆
Have Exchange Services Account Administration permis-
sions for the site and the configuration container that Unity
is being installed into.
