Windows 10 Wireless connection asking for proxy server credentials

-
When using Windows 10 on a domain network, the wireless may show attention required and upon clicking the wireless connection name it disconnects and states "enter proxy server sign-in info".



In the background, the client machine is making a connection to msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt. As the computer is not authorised to use the internet, but rather the user this was the cause of the popup. I whitelisted the domain msftconnecttest.com for computer authenication and now the wireless connects with no requests for further authentication.

Create bootable CUC CUCM CUP Image / ISO

-
The following script allows you to automatically create a bootable CUCM/CUC/CUP image without the need for any paid for software when you only have access to the update outside of put or the datastore for the new server. I have spent several hours on this, but I just wanted to make it simple. Only really for lab purposes, the checksum will fail due to the ISO being manipulated but essentially once you fill in the variables, you will just be left with a single ISO file in the staging directory. To use; 1. Download the mkisofs.exe file as described in the script 2. Paste script below into Powershell ISE Script Editer 3. Modify the variables 4. Execute the script. Simple. Tested creating an ISO on a Windows 10 machine and running the ISO on a ESXI server. Thanks for this guy Aaron Harrison as per the URL, was helpful in the finding out the mkisofs.exe command syntax. http://www.ipcommute.co.uk/technical-articles/17--creating-isolinux-boot-dvds-with-free-software-cucm-uccx-cups.

CUCM 11.5 - Esxi 6.5 - unable to create VM

Hi Guys Had an issue where I was unable to deploy a Cisco Unified Call Manager 11.5 OVA to the VMWare Esxi 6.5 standalone server. The following error would appear during the provision of the VM - "At least one extra disk image was provided that will be ignored". The solution to import the Cisco OVA into VMware is to use VMware's OVFTool. The commands I used worked for also UCCX and Cisco Unity Connect - CUCM Deployment for 2500 Users --------------------------------- ovftool --acceptAllEulas --datastore="datastore1" -dm="thick" --name="CUCM01-PUB" --net:"eth0"="Voice" --deploymentOption="CUCM_2500" "c:\temp\cucm_11.5_vmv8_v1.1.ova" vi://UserName:Password@IPAddress UCCX ---- ovftool --acceptAllEulas --datastore="datastore1" -dm="thick" --name="UCCX1" --net:"eth0"="Voice" --deploymentOption="UCCX_400_Agent" "C:\temp\UCCX_11.
