What do you want to do?
Use the EAC to view or configure a UM-enabled user's properties
- In the EAC, navigate to Recipients >
Mailboxes.
- In the list view, select the mailbox for which you want to
change the UM mailbox policy.
- In the details pane, under Phone and Voice Features >
Unified Messaging, click View details.
- On the UM Mailbox page, click UM mailbox settings
to view or change the following UM properties for an existing
UM-enabled user:
- PIN Status This display-only field
shows the status of the user's mailbox. By default, when a user is
UM-enabled, the PIN status is listed as Not locked out.
However, if the user has input an incorrect Outlook Voice Access
PIN multiple times, the status is listed as Locked Out.
- UM mailbox policy This box shows the
name of the UM mailbox policy associated with the UM-enabled user.
You can click Browse to locate and specify the UM mailbox
policy to be associated with this UM mailbox.
- Personal operator extension Use this
box to specify the operator extension number for the user. By
default, an extension number isn't configured. The length of the
extension number can be from 1 through 20 characters. This enables
incoming calls for the UM-enabled user to be forwarded to the
extension number that you specify in this box.
You can configure other types of operator extension numbers on dial plans and auto attendants. However, those extensions are generally meant for company-wide receptionists or operators. The personal operator extension setting could be used when an administrative assistant or personal assistant answers incoming calls before they're answered for a particular user.
- PIN Status This display-only field
shows the status of the user's mailbox. By default, when a user is
UM-enabled, the PIN status is listed as Not locked out.
However, if the user has input an incorrect Outlook Voice Access
PIN multiple times, the status is listed as Locked Out.
- On the UM Mailbox page, under Other extensions,
you can add, change, and view extension numbers for the user.
- To add an extension number, click Add . On the Add another extension page, use
Browse to select the UM dial plan, and then enter the
extension number in the Extension number box.
- To remove an extension number, select the extension number you
want to remove, and then click Remove .
- To add an extension number, click Add . On the Add another extension page, use
Browse to select the UM dial plan, and then enter the
extension number in the Extension number box.
- If you make any changes, click Save.
Use the Shell to configure features for a UM-enabled user
This example disables Play on Phone and missed call notifications, but enables text message (SMS) notifications.
Note: |
---|
For on-premises and hybrid deployments, when you’re integrating Unified Messaging and Lync Server, missed call notifications aren’t available to users who have a mailbox located on an Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 Mailbox server. A missed call notification is generated when a user disconnects before the call is sent to a Mailbox server. |

When you’re running Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013 and the user’s mailbox is located on an Exchange 2007 Mailbox server, running the Get-UMMailbox cmdlet won’t work correctly. To resolve the issue, run the Get-UMMailbox cmdlet from an Exchange 2007 server or a computer running the Exchange 2007 administrative tools. |
