This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to enable or disable missed call notifications for a UM mailbox policy in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging (UM). A missed call notification is an e-mail message that is sent to a user's mailbox when the user does not answer an incoming call. This is a different e-mail message than the e-mail message that contains the voice message that is left for a user.

When you disable missed call notifications on a UM mailbox policy, you will prevent all users who are associated with the UM mailbox policy from receiving an e-mail message when they do not answer an incoming call. By default, missed call notifications are enabled on each UM mailbox policy that is created.

Note:
By default, a UM mailbox policy is created every time that you create a UM dial plan.

You can enable or disable missed call notifications for a single UM-enabled user by configuring the UM-enabled user's mailbox properties by using the Set-UMMailbox cmdlet. If missed call notifications are not configured on a UM-enabled mailbox, the UM mailbox policy settings will take precedence. If you disable missed call notifications on the UM mailbox policy that is associated with a UM-enabled user and enable missed call notifications on the user's mailbox, missed call notifications will be enabled for the user. If you enable missed call notifications on the UM mailbox policy that is associated with a UM-enabled user, but then disable missed call notifications for the user, missed call notifications will be disabled for the UM-enabled user.

For more information about the Set-UMMailbox cmdlet, see Set-UMMailbox. For more information about how to manage UM-enabled users, see Managing Unified Messaging Users.
