It is -possible- to push the call manager to all of the workstations if it's an AD environment. Check out the desktop installation section of the planning and installation guide. It also tells you to see the Microsoft KB article #816102
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816102 for using group policy to install software on client machines. I've never done it this way but it seems like it -could- make life a little easier.

This is the way I do it (AD GPO Push) and it works like a champ. The only issue I have is that I have to get the clients to reboot for the GPO to apply and some may still get the 'Upgrade Needed" message at login.

The "Upgrade Needed" message can be supressed if you go into SWD under IP Phones -> Options and tick Prevent User Initiated Client Upgrade or something similar. This is the recommended setting in a managed deployment so you don't get users upgrading over top of your pushed install.

If you also sent an email to all your users saying that if PCM doesn't work reboot, you might be OK.

So, if the "Prevent Users from Initiating Client Upgrades" box is checked in Shorware Director, will a 7.5 (or 7.0) CM client be able to function at all with the 8.0 server? This question was never completely answered.

Thanks,

I'll be finally getting ST8 set up for good at our office in about a week (hopefully), I'll try that out and post the results. I would guess that it's not going to work, but we'll see.

Your post is pretty old (2006) but I need to know if the PCM is going to work on Terminal Server 2008.

Since this post have you had great success with 2008 and PCM?

Please let the forum know.

Thank you!

We have version 13.9.1111 (Call Manager) which is an early beta version of 8 running on our win 2008 Terminal Server. I don't think anybody uses it, as it's a test server, but I just made a call from it and it worked. I would think a general release version would work better.
