Include Text with the E-Mail Message Sent When a Mailbox Is UM-Enabled

  • Article

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

When a user's mailbox is enabled for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Unified Messaging, an e-mail message is sent that welcomes the user to Unified Messaging. This message contains the PIN information the user will use to access the Unified Messaging system.

You can customize the text that's sent in the welcome e-mail message by adding text in the Text sent when a UM mailbox is enabled box on a UM mailbox policy. You can include such information as the UM technical support telephone numbers or subscriber access numbers. After you add the text, it will be included in the e-mail message sent when users associated with the UM mailbox policy are enabled for Unified Messaging.

Note

The limit for custom text you add to the welcome message is 512 characters.
