Cisco UCM 8.5 and Unity Connection 8.5 Installed on ESXi 4.1

So as of last night I have my home lab chugging along and I was able to install Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.5, Cisco Unity Connection 8.5 and Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 for Active Directory.

I still have a long way to go to finish up the lab but this is all for now. I might order IP Phones later but I think for now I will use Cisco IP Communicator on my PC and Macbook Pro. I also ordered a Cisco 1861 which will be used as the voice gateway and will terminate my SIP connectivity.

Here are a few pictures for kicks
