Modify an E.164 Address for a UM-Enabled User
Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2
When you enable a user for Unified Messaging (UM), you must define at least one extension number that will be used by Unified Messaging when voice mail is submitted to the user's Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 mailbox. However, you have the option to modify an E.164 address for a user if the user is associated with an E.164 dial plan. After you enable the user for Unified Messaging, you can modify E.164 addresses for the user's mailbox by configuring the Exchange Unified Messaging proxy address (EUM proxy address) on the user's mailbox.
