Configuring the resources of a Communications Manager Server

You can add, modify or remove the resources that are configured for the Tungsten Communications Manager, installation with the ConfigureServer.exe tool:

• It is always possible to add resources.

• It is always possible to modify a resource that is not yet used by the Tungsten Communications Manager, installation.

• It is possible to modify a resource that is in use by the Tungsten Communications Manager, installation. You must stop the components that use the resource before running ConfigureServer.exe, and restart them afterwards.

• It is only possible to remove a resource when it is not yet used by the Tungsten Communications Manager, installation. The services account and the internal certificate are mandatory and cannot be removed, although they can be modified.

• The internal and private ports start points cannot be modified nor removed.

• When you modify the services account, you may also need to provide additional information:

  • When changing to a different services account, you must either provide the services update key, or the name and password of the old services account.

  • When an Administrator has changed the password of the services account, you must also provide the services update key.

  • Otherwise, it is sufficient to provide the name and password of the new services account.

  • The services update key is generated upon installation of Tungsten Communications Manager and must be administrated manually.

    Make sure to store the services update key in a secure location. There is no way to extract it manually from Tungsten Communications Manager later.

  You can also use ConfigureServer.exe to modify the global security configurations of trusting internal servers and supported TLS versions.

The ConfigureServer.exe tool can make multiple changes at the same time.

You can find the ConfigureServer.exe tool in the <deploy root>/CommunicationsManager/Programs/<version>/Management folder.
