I am looking to deploy CUPC 8.5 to about 400 workstations. I want to deploy the package that is bundled with the Microsoft add-ins because I am not sure what workstation have the add-ins. This is a new install. Machines do not have any previous version. The bundle download from Cisco is an executable file. I am looking for someone that possible has a script that will install the complete CUCP 8.5 in slient mode without any user interaction. I am able to push via LANDesk but the install fails if users have Outlook open. Is there a way around that? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jaime

Hi Jaime,
I am far from expert on this one but here are the commands you can try .
For example
CiscoUnifiedPersonalCommunicatorSetupK9_803.exe /s /v" /qn"
The following are the various modes.
/q - set the UI level:
* n - no UI
* b - basic UI
* f - full UI
If this works from the command line then you can somehow push it via AD.
Don't know the details but hopefully this will get you started.
Regards,
Christos

Hi Jaime,
Hope the below information will be useful to you.
1. When you download CUPC from Cisco.com the zip file will contain both .exe and .msi files. 2. Please make sure on the client PC you have software below: The prerequisite software that you must install prior to installing the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator MSI file is: * Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 *Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) *Additional software required for Click to Call functionality: - Microsoft Office 2003 Primary Interop Assemblies (for computers with Office 2003) -Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies (for computers with Office 2007) -Microsoft Visual 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition Runtime (x86) The prerequisite software is available from the Microsoft website. 3. Before you install Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, you can set the default address of the Cisco Unified Presence server on the computers of your users. You can use the CUPServer registry value name to set this address. The data type is string or REG_SZ. This address is displayed in the Change server field on the window where you sign in to Cisco Unified Personal Communicator. To deploy this change to the computers in your Cisco Unified Communications system, you can use a software management system, for example, Active Directory Group Policy, Altiris, Microsoft System Management Server (SMS), and so on. Location of Registry Key You specify the CUPServer registry value name in the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cisco Systems, Inc.\Client Services Framework\AdminData If you use Active Directory Group Policy to configure Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, then the CUPServer information is specified in the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Cisco Systems, Inc.\Client Services Framework\AdminData Note * If CUPServer information is present in both of these registry keys, the policies configuration data takes precedence. *Cisco Unified Personal Communicator reads only HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys. Cisco Unified Personal Communicator does not read HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE keys. 4. Automated Mass Deployment The mass deployment options for installing Cisco Unified Personal Communicator are as follows: *Use Active Directory Group Policy. You can use group policy to deploy administrator configuration settings. *Use a software management system, for example, Altiris Deployment Solution, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), and so on. *Use a self-extracting executable with a batch script. You can use the batch script to deploy administrator configuration settings. 5. Please check on corresponding vendor's website if you need more information on Automated Mass Deployment.
