Enable or Disable Call Answering Rules for a UM-Enabled User
Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2
You can specify whether you want individual users to be able to create and manage their own call answering rules by configuring their mailbox properties. You can also allow or prevent them from creating call answering rules by allowing or preventing Call Answering Rules on a Unified Messaging (UM) dial plan or UM mailbox policy that's associated with a user.
You can enable or disable call answering rules for multiple UM-enabled users by configuring Call Answering Rules on a UM dial plan or UM mailbox policy.
