You can view the number of active Unified Messaging (UM) calls being processed. You can view the number of active calls for a UM dial plan, a Unified Messaging server, or all calls for a UM IP gateway. If you use the Get-UMActiveCalls cmdlet to view the number of active calls for dial plans or IP gateways, the cmdlet uses Active Directory to determine which Unified Messaging servers must be contacted.
Looking for other management tasks related to UM servers? Check out Managing Unified Messaging Servers.
