Summary 
TMS Phone books 
It is not possible to preview provisioning source (phone book) if you have more 
than 100 groups. Cisco has not found any low risk fix for this and has decided to 
rewrite this for the next major release of Cisco TMS. Customer with this problem is 
encouraged to contact support. 
Upgrading to Cisco TMS 
13.1.2 
When upgrading from Cisco TMS 12.1 or 12.2 if replication is enabled the installer 
will stop the installation and show a warning.  To compensate for a weakness in 
version 12.1 or 12.2 which may cause disabling replication to fail, the installer will 
allow the user to select to continue the installation.  The Continue option should 
only be used if upgrading from TMS 12.1 or TMS 12.2 and disabling replication 
failed. 
 
E20 
It is not possible to use ‘pre-registration’ for E20 devices in Cisco TMS if the 
device is to be managed by Cisco TMS  Agent. 
MCU 42xx  /45xx series 
MSE 84 xx/85xx series 
Cisco TMS 13.1.2 is not compatible with MCU and MSE blades using software 
older then version 2.0. 
MCU 42xx  /45xx series 
MSE 84 xx/85xx series 
Participant drag and drop is not available for SIP participants on a Cisco 
TelePresence MCU that were originally dial-out calls.

TMS Agent 
Cisco TMS will report an upgrade as successful for a Cisco TMS  Agent 
provisioned endpoint before the upgrade my actually start or finish successfully on 
the device.  The reporting of success in Cisco TMS is reporting that the job was 
successfully provisioned to the device’s profile in the Cisco TMS  Agent. 
Hardware devices

TMS Agent 
When performing a software upgrade for Cisco TMS  Agent managed device, 
Cisco TMS will report the upgrade as successful even if the device is offline at the 
time.  The upgrade is successfully provisioned into the device’s profile, and the 
device will attempt the upgrade the next time it is online and provisioned.

TMS Agent 
Cisco TMS is able to upgrade EX systems on version TC4.2 and higher, however 
upgrading is not possible with TC4.1 software.  
Cisco TMS  Agent 
Cisco VCS 
Network latency and ‘distance’ between Cisco TMS and the Cisco VCS systems 
can affect the ability to enable Cisco VCS clusters with provisioning on those 
Cisco VCS. On a network with high latency and lower throughput, enabling a 
provisioning cluster may lead to timeouts and potentially partial configurations of 
the Cisco TMS  Agents. To minimize this impact of network ”distance”, it is 
important to configure provisioning clusters before populating the provisioning 
directory with users as described in the 
However, if replication is being re-enabled or a Cisco VCS or VCS cluster is 
being added to the solution in a network with high latency, then the default timeout 
(one hour) can be increased by adding the registry key 
tmsAgentReplicationSetupTimeout (in minutes) at the following registry location on 
the Cisco TMS server: 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tandberg\TANDBERG Management 
Suite.

Directory 
Provisioning Directory will not be available immediately after server restart as it 
takes longer to start up than the rest of the Cisco TMS interface. If a user browses 
to the Systems > Provisioning > Directory before the service has finished 
starting up, an information message is shown to have the user check back shortly. 
Cisco TMS, Pro visioning 
Directory 
When TMS Agent Data  Replication is enabled, if a server (such as Cisco TMS or 
Cisco VCS) is out of the replication topology for more than 24 hours and then 
comes online again, all changes that have happened on any other replication 
member during that time will not be copied across to the server when it comes
