Hi,

You can run show version active command from putty for CUCM/Presence.

Also, when u login from GUI of CUCM/Presence /UCXN , u get version or from Hep---About

I ran this tool as you suggested on a file that I retrieved from our CUCM 9.1 system. However I obtained an error

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Can you tell me what I am doing incorrectly? I can see the alphanumeric string for the passwords in the file.

TONY SMITH · ‎06-26-2017

That process gives exactly the same result whether you've entered the old password correctly or incorrectly. All that the error message says is that you've entered the same password for both. The old password is only checked after you've put in a valid new password (twice) and confirmed to go ahead with the password change.

This post needs to be removed as its very misleading and will result in people wasting their time.
