Alternatively, to specify the service account credentials:

msiexec.exe /qn /i "%Installer Directory%\UNIFYNow.msi" SERVICECREDENTIALS_USERLOGIN="DOMAIN\TestUserName" SERVICECREDENTIALS_PASSWORD="Password"

Verifying Installation

Once UNIFYNow has been installed successfully, the web components can be configured. By default, UNIFYNow is configured to run the self-hosted option, bound to localhost on port 8080. Note that this will need to be changed if using UNIFYNow on a machine where port 8080 is already in use. UNIFYNow may also be configured to be hosted by IIS.

To verify the installation, open an internet browser of choice, and navigate to the the UNIFYNow Management studio as configured (which will default to localhost:8080), and confirm that the UNIFYNow service has been correctly installed and started.

Open Management Studio with an internet browser of choice. The following should be seen:

If the above steps did not work:

  • Review the installation steps again;
  • Refer to the service configuration;
  • Determine whether the appropriate choice was made between the self-hosted option or the IIS option; and
  • Check the UNIFYNow forums for issues related to your problem.
