IPMA is giving me the creep - finished first round on Nov16

Spent 4 hours doing IPMA without result. Guess I will read up more docs on IPMA shared and proxy mode.
Onward to last chapter which is Presence integration now.
Finally finished chapter 15 presence on Nov16. However, never get Virtual-template interface & IPMA to run correctly. Will have to TS those on round2. Also, will need 7970 phones to get IPMA done.

Nov11, IPCCEx and CUPS installation completed, progressing thru IPCCE chapter 11 now

Following are my notes for creating IPCCEx and CUPS on vmware because previous vmware setup for CUCM and Unity Connection did not worked for cups and ipccex.
- CUPS vmware setup: memory = 1296, disk = 75 GB, SCSI  0.0 flat file system, create disk at once, OS = red hat ent linux 3
 - IPCCEx vmware setup: win 2003 server R2 32bits (64bits wont work), memory = 2048, disk = 80 GB in 2 GB chunks (uncheck create disk at once when creating virtual guest), OS = w2003 32bits.

After windows is up and running, run regedit and enter following keys & strings :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems\Model]
"Hardware"="MCS7825H02"
"Speed"="3067"
"Memory"="1024"
@=""
Note that  Cisco Systems and Model are keys while Hardware|Speed|Memory|@ are string
 - Install IIS and FTP servers in w2003 before installing IPCCEx

After that both CUPS and IPCCEx should be installed without a hitch
