Enable or Disable Voice Mail Preview on a UM Mailbox Policy

  • Article

 

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

You can enable or disable the Voice Mail Preview feature for users associated with the Unified Messaging (UM) mailbox policy. Enabling this setting allows users to receive the text of a voice mail in the message body of an e-mail or text message. If this option is disabled on the UM dial plan, Voice Mail Preview won't be available to UM-enabled users associated with the UM mailbox policy. This option isn't available to UM-enabled users who have a mailbox on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging server. The default setting is enabled.
