At the very least, recall that you will have, at a minimum, one TFTP server just sitting there, begging to be used. Either the CUCM Sub or Pub must be running TFTP in order for the CUCM-based phones to work properly (yes, I know they don't technically need the TFTP server, as long as they have received at least one valid firmware image and CFG). I would load the files to whichever server was running TFTP and use that as my source for getting the files to the proper locations on the CME router.
Personally, I have not sat the lab as of yet, so I do not know, nor would I be allowed to advise even if I did, whether any of the lab instructions prohibit the use of the CUCM TFTP for non-CUCM requirements. However, unless they install software on the workstation or the UCCX platform, the CUCM would be the logical choice to me.

I know the process and I have done it many times, but in practice I have used my PC to perform these functions as I have a TFTP server on it and I found myself in a situation where I had no TFTP servers or clients available to me. So I’m asking in a lab scenario, what would be the quickest (best) method to accomplish the UPLOADING of the files to flash based on the resources we know we have in the lab.

I'm pretty sure the CME admin guide has an example guide you can pretty much copy and paste and edit with your image locations. 3. TFTP server commands for the files. The alias will point to something like /Desktops/320x212x12/image.png instead of just the file name. A good way to check if the phone is looking in the right place is to do a debug tftp events and go to the phone to userprefences>background images. When you go there it should try to download the list.xml and the images.

Let’s “assume” the PC I’m using doesn’t have an FTP or TFTP server on it (or any other windows machine I have access to for that matter). I know I have to edit the List.xml file and upload the images to Flash. I’m looking for exactly HOW to do that with what I may have available to me during the real lab. Can I upload through the CUE or CME Web GUI? Do I need to upload to CM via the web interface and then TFTP it over to the flash? Would that work? Also, I’ve read that you can configure the background images on the CM, let your CME phones register to the CM, pull the images, and they will stay after you register the phone back to the CME. Is that true? Would that accomplish the goal or would that cost points because you did it the wrong way? And I know I have to put the image files in the appropriate Desktop folder in flash, present them using the tftp-server command, re-create the cnf-files, and then reload the router for good measure. I’m just looking for the best way to get the files there (quickest). Any help is appreciated.
