This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to change the maximum greeting duration for users who are enabled for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging who are associated with the UM mailbox policy.

The Maximum greeting duration setting enables you to enter the maximum number of minutes that users who are associated with the UM mailbox policy can use to record their voice mail greetings. This setting applies to both their standard voice mail and their Out of Office voice mail greetings. By default, the maximum greeting duration is set to 5 minutes. However, you can configure the maximum meeting duration to any setting between 1 and 10 minutes.

Before You Begin

To perform the following procedures, the account you use must be delegated the Exchange Organization Administrator role.

Also, before you perform these procedures, confirm the following:

  • A UM dial plan has been created.
