Hey guys, I'm trying to install CME 8.5: Download Software - Cisco Systems
I'm looking through the zip file and I can't find the actual CME file anywhere...all I see is phone load files and misc stuff. Didn't the old versions always have a "cme-full-x.x.x.x.tar" or something?

Heres a link to the contents of the zip

    First off, not a stupid mistake!

    CME is installed into the IOS version you downloaded, not as an external package from cisco. What you have there are packages for firmware/MoH/GUI files to work WITH CME, but is not required for basic functionality.

    Unless that changed in recent versions.

    Assuming you have telephony-service running, a show telephony-service command will show you the version of CME you have on your IOS. (If I remember the command correctly)

    Are you guys using the GUI these days or still sticking to the CLI for CME?

    Also, to save yourself from some possible bizarre problems down the road, be sure that you match up the phone loads (CME-full file) with the appropriate version of CME/IOS.

    CLI all the way.

    After an install / complete setup the ephone admin page is sometimes nice to show the person on site who may make basic phone changes.

    I have never used the GUI for actual configuration, but as pitviper said it might be nice for end users. Cisco has a nack for not giving a crap about GUI's, with the exception of CUCM and Unity. So it is pretty much a bland UI.

    CLI all the way.
