TMS Agent database backup
To perform a backup of the TMS Agent database, go to
Administrative Tools > Configuration > TMS
Agent Settings
. The installer automatically places the provisioning database (OpenDS) backup in the
Cisco TMS backup folder (by default, <TMS folder>\wwwTMS\Data\Backup\opends).
Also note that Cisco TelePresence Management Server is delivered with remote SQL access disabled.
If you enable remote access to the SQL Server for backup purposes, be sure to change the SQL sa
password from the default password. If you change the SQL password, update TMS Database
Connection properties using the TMS Tools application installed in the TANDBERG Program Group on
the Cisco TelePresence Management Server.

Operating system updates
When delivered, the Automatic Updates functionality of Microsoft Windows is turned off. This is by
design to avoid any untested changes to the underlying operating system. To keep the operating system
current and secure, Cisco provides regular security updates as self-contained installers for the
Management Server. These updates are distributed as Cisco TelePresence Management Server
security updates and are made available to customers via the web site:
